Everything about Leo Wanta totally explained

Leo Emil Wanta, born 1940, is an American businessman who claims to be the Reagan-appointed trustee of potentially trillions of dollars, the result of an arbitrage scheme to sink the Soviet economy. The numbers claimed exceed the GDP of the Soviet economy at the time, and the Soviet Ruble was a non-convertible currency. He was president of AmeriChina Global Management Group Inc., an arms exporting firm based in Appleton, Wisconsin. In 1988, he attempted to sell thousands of Browning 9mm pistols to Panamanian leader Manuel Noriega.
   Wanta was arrested in Switzerland in 1993 for attempting to defraud a bank of 81 million dollars. He claimed to have diplomatic immunity as the ambassador of Somalia (which, at that time, had no functioning internationally-recognized government) to Canada. He was deported to New York and then Wisconsin, on unrelated tax charges. In 1995, Wanta was convicted of tax evasion and sentenced to an eight-year prison term in the State of Wisconsin.
   However, the following arguments have been put forward by Christopher Story, a former adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and one of Mr. Wanta's main supporters:
• Leo Wanta's illegal incarceration was commuted to house arrest and Mr Wanta was confined for many years in Wisconsin (not, as stated, in Switzerland). Although his confinement was illegal, he nevertheless adhered meticulously to its terms, in accordance with his ethical standards and reverence for the Rule of Law (notwithstanding that his treatment was always illegal).
   • Suggestions that Mr Wanta committed offences are completely inaccurate and without foundation. Everything he's done has been in accordance with his Presidential, Secret Service and other US official instructions. A comprehensive dossier revealing how the State of Wisconsin may have scammed Wanta, allegedly stealing both the payments that he managed to raise to pay illegally charged taxes that he didn't owe, and how his assets were allegedly stolen as well, is in preparation.
• In July 2005, all illegally re-charged fines and imposts applied by Wisconsin were paid in full by a benefactor. As a direct consequence of this development, Mr Wanta satisfied the State's illegally imposed demands, and with effect from 14th November 2005, he was unconditionally discharged from Parole on the orders of a judge. The funds remitted to secure his release have, according to US legal sources, also been scammed, because – unsurprisingly – the State authorities, having allegedly misappropriated the earlier funds, found themselves in a very difficult situation, with reference to which column, so to speak, the illegally imposed further charges were to be booked. This and related matters are under close continuing scrutiny. However the benefactor’s payment procured Mr Wanta’s full discharge from his illegal house arrest and probation.
