Mordet på Olof Palme - 28 februari 1986

It really was not much of a mystery. Petrillo gave Studley a $2 million line of
credit when he was with Florida National. Studley used the money to pay
GemoMiIiTech's salaries and to purchase a house in Falls Church, Virginia.
Studley hoped to make a profit and repay the loan. When Petrillo left Florida
National he illegally changed the paper work moving or converting Studley's
"past due" account to Bayshore. He did it to gain some time while waiting for
Studley to pay up. She did not, of course, although she did try but failed to sell
around 20 percent of GMT's stock to raise the $2 million.
Bayshore stockholders filed a couple of lawsuits naming Petrillo,
GeoMiliTech, Studley, and General Singlaub as the irresponsible parties. They
finally learned the $2 million was to cover two "bad checks" written by Studley,
and that Petrillo gave her a $1.5 million cashier's check from Bayshore in order to
hide a depleted S 1.5 million line of credit he gave her when he was with Florida
National Bank.106 They got nothing from the lawsuits.
These financial flip flops took place as GeoMiliTech presented Bill Casey its
ultimate plan — a coordinated series of weapons deals worth S8() million, many of
them barter arrangements with Israel, all of them worked through a secret Swiss
bank, the whole package guaranteed to evade the "consent or awareness of the
„107
Department of State or Congress. The program was hand-delivered to Casey
by Edward N. Luttwak, now a distinguished author and Senior Fellow in Preven-
tive Diplomacy at the Center For Strategic & International Studies in Washington;

then described as an employee of GeoMiliTech. He has served as a consultant
to the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the National Security Council, and the
U.S. Department of State. He is an associate of the Japan Finance Ministry's
Institute of Fiscal and Monetary Policy. Dr. Luttwak is a frequent lecturer at uni-
versities and higher military colleges in the United States and abroad (recently in
Argentina, Italy, France, Japan, and the United Kingdom). He was the 1988
Nimitz lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley, and 1989 Tanner lec-
turer at Yale University. He is author of eight books, including The Endangered
American Dream (Simon & Schuster, 1993), Strategy: The Logic of War and
Peace (Harvard University Press, 1985), and the constantly reprinted Coup d' etat
(Harvard University Press, 1985), published in 14 languages. He serves on the
editorial boards of Geopolitique (France), the Journal of Strategic Studies,
and the Washington Quarterly. He received a Ph.D. from the Johns Hopkins
University. He speaks French, Italian, and Spanish."

Petrillo went to prison for six months after pleading guilty to fraud. Studley
and Singlaub, to the contrary, have carried on like old troopers. Most recently
they have been peddling a "revolutionary missile guidance software system"
developed by Rabbi Eliot Sherman, a U.S. citizen resident in Israel, and an
unidentified associate. Working with them are Fob James, Jr., the Governor of
Alabama, and Alabama's First Lady, Bobbie James, who are reportedly close
friends of the Rabbi. In 1997, the Rabbi hosted the Alabama couple on a trip to
Israel during which Bobbie James noted "Alabama's close ties with Israel have
