Don’t know but you would trust Wikipedia for ANYTHING? That’s like saying “I heard on CNN...”.
From JudicialWatch website, 2011, not sure it’s the same guy, or what it means if it is:
The most transparent administration in history is abusing a secrecy privilege to cover up embarrassing details of how the U.S. government got duped into wasting $20 million on bogus intelligence technology from a bankrupt computer programmer with a gambling addiction.Rather than dedicate resources to recovering lost funds or punishing the scam artist who fleeced taxpayers, Obama’s Justice Department is focusing only on hiding information by invoking a controversial “state secrets privilege” justified only in cases that could compromise national security. In fact, the feds have severed all ties with the con man—who faces criminal charges for unrelated crimes in Nevada—and are going to “extraordinary lengths” to keep his dealings with the government from becoming public.This mission to conceal government incompetence was first reported by a mainstream newspaper that reveals the feds had an eight-year relationship with theCalifornia man (Dennis Montgomery) who somehow convinced intelligence officials that his technology could catch terrorists.
that is far from the truth. It is a Free Republic dogma, but far from true.
