I happen to be someone who followed the investigation into the death of Vincent Foster with interest. Mr. Grabbe wrote a series of articles about Foster which turned out to be pure disinformation. Knowing that as I do I would never trust anything he has written or will write.

I thought the topic was how the sniper could "safely" collect his blackmail payment, not whether depositing ml/nj's money into the DMT would be a good idea or not. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Ahem.
Considering the news is now reporting the sniper case has been solved, my thoughts still lean toward some sort of depositary involved getting money to the one who pointed to Muhammad.
The news may be incorrect, or incomplete, but FNC is sounding like Muhammad is the sniper.
He's also being called a people smuggler; Antigua, Jamaica may be ripe for migrants, but I don't believe the Caymans would be. I'm trying to watch ball game, too, but going to try to find the cite about under which circumstances these offshore accounts may be revealed. This thing may involve more than him (alone) being the sniper. Would love to see Calypso Louie's paw prints all over this.
(2) La Salle University
Based upon SARs and complaints by victim-students, the New Orleans Office of the FBI initiated an investigation into LaSalle University, Mandeville, Louisiana, a mail order correspondence school which offered external degree studies. The SARs and complaints received concerned the structuring and money laundering by companies and individuals associated with LaSalle. La Salle solicited students through printed advertisements in magazines and major newspapers, had a national and international student registration of over 15,000 students, but later was found to be nothing more than a sophisticated diploma mill not recognized by any collegiate accrediting body. La Salle defrauded unsuspecting students by leading them to believe that they were accredited by the Council on Post Secondary Christian Education (COPCE) located in Washington, D.C. COPCE was established by La Salle management as a further level of deception, leading its students to believe they were attending an accredited university. La Salle acquired approximately $36 million in its multi-tiered ploy to obtain students.
The students being targeted by La Salle were defrauded by over $2 million per semester in student fees paid by check, credit card or bank draft. La Salle deceived the victim-students concerning the cost of tuition. Once the victim-student was enrolled, the management would double charge the draft or credit card of the provider.
La Salle used many shell companies to conceal the source of the income it generated. Victim students were duped into believing that the university had a religious affiliation, and served as a nonprofit institution. Over 12 different bank accounts were located by the FBI-some located in the Cayman Islands, maintained under various company names. The accounts were used by the president of La Salle to buy drugs, produce pornographic movies, and establish a quasi-militia organization with anti-government objectives.
La Salle had evaded local and federal prosecution by operating in various locations, starting in California in 1985 and relocating to Missouri, Nevada, Arizona, and Florida before relocating to Louisiana in 1992. Pursuant to the information provided by SARs and complaints, the FBI executed search warrants in July 1996. The additional evidence produced by the searches allowed the FBI to issue seizure warrants for bank accounts totaling over $10 million. Later, the home of the La Salle president, valued at approximately $2 million, was forfeited.
In the fall of 1997, all management officials of La Salle were convicted of various charges of mail fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering. In 1998, all monies seized by the FBI were forfeited, and returned to the victim-students as restitution.
