Whitney explains the origins of the PROMIS case-management software, how it was stolen by Inslaw and given a backdoor by Rafi Eitan's Israeli intelligence network in collusion with Reagan aides, and sold globally to spy on other governments.
- PROMIS software was revolutionary case-handling software that functioned as personal tracking technology by allowing investigators to search a person's name across multiple databases simultaneously instead of searching each one individually.
- The DOJ leased PROMIS from Hamilton's company and used it to successfully increase conviction and prosecution rates for money laundering and organized crime.
- A close aide of Ronald Reagan and Iran envoy developed a friendship with Rafi Eitan, head of Israeli intelligence and handler of Mossad spy Jonathan Pollard.
- They colluded to install a backdoor into PROMIS software, which ended up being deployed by as many as 80 intelligence agencies around the world in its bugged version.
