    Anonymous:I got an email from Jeff Stein at WASHPOST, he says, "a lil birdie tells me "Davis" isCIA".

    http://voices.washingtonpost.com/spy-talk/2010/06/accused_swindler_starr_investe.htmlPosted at 4:35 PM ET, 06/11/2010Accused swindler Starr invested in private CIABy Jeff Stein

    Kenneth I. Starr, the disgraced financial adviser with an A-List stable of Hollywoodclients, was a major investor in GlobalOptions, a controversial Washington firm that oncebilled itself as a private CIA, financial filings show.

    Starr is charged with swindling at least $59 million from a glittering list of film and

    media stars including Uma Thurman, Al Pacino, Martin Scorsese, Neil Simon,newscaster Diane Sawyer and photographer Annie Leibovitz.

    Federal agents found him hiding behind coats in his closet on May 27, "forcing them toyank him out by the collar," the Associated Press reported.

    Starr was an early investor in GlobalOptions, according to a former employee. SECfilings show that he had major investments in the company as recently as January 2009.

    Since its founding in 1998, GlobalOptions board of directors has also included Starrsson, Ronald, who is also managing director of his fathers investment firm.

    So many of Starrs clients were stockholders in GlobalOptions that the company feltcompelled to tell the SEC that the cross-ownership would not interfere with [Starrs]independence, as defined by Nasdaqs rules and regulations."

    GlobalOptions was founded by Neil C. Livingstone, a behind-the-scenes adviser toReagan White House official Col. Oliver North during the arms-for-hostages deal withIran. Livingstone left the company in late 2006 to start a similar firm, Executive ActionLLC, headquartered in Dupont Circle. He took GlobalOptions' "private CIA" with him.

    Think of us as a McKinsey & Company with muscle, a brochure for Executive Action

    says, "a private CIA and Defense Department available to address your most intractableproblems and difficult challenges."

    While Livingstone was still CEO of GlobalOptions, the firm said its foreign clientsoperated "primarily in Russia and the Caribbean, according to an SEC filing unearthedby Harpers magazine blogger Ken Silverstein in 2007.

    One was Ukrainian businessman Dimytro Firtash, who brokered several billion-dollardeals between Gazprom and the government of Ukraine, which drew criticism from theU.S. ambassador to the Ukraine at the time for the deals lack of transparency, accordingto the Wall Street Journal.

    Now headed by Harvey Schiller, a former sports and broadcasting business executive andonetime executive director of the U.S. Olympic Committee, GlobalOptions today stopsshort of advertising itself as a private CIA.

    But the heart of its business remains in security services and corporate intelligence.

    With a single call, through a single point of contact, the companys brochure says, youcan access our entire array of international risk services from security andinvestigations, to disaster preparedness and management, to fraud prevention andlitigation support.

    The company did not return a call seeking comment.

    Livingstone, reached by telephone Friday, said he is no longer privy to the internalworkings of GlobalOptions, but doubted the firm was damaged by the collapse of Starrsfinancial empire.

    I dont think it will hurt them, he said.

    Livingstone, who was once accused by GlobalOptions of stealing the firms clients -- "itwas settled in my favor, he said -- also said none of Starrs clients invested in ExecutiveAction.

    The Paris-based newsletter Intelligence Online reported Thursday that GlobalOptionscarried out numerous missions on behalf of Kenneth Starr and his clients whenLivingstone ran the company.

    But Livingstone, now mulling a run for governor in Montana, his home state, describedthe "missions" as the routine problems and issues that show business people get into --stalkers, missing children, accusations of sexual dalliances, property stolen by householdhelp and the like. Mundane stuff, nothing spooky or unusual, he maintained.

    Two principals of GlobalOptions, former FEMA chief James Lee Witt and former New

    York City police commissioner Howard Safir, recently announced their departure fromthe company, shortly before the Starr indictment was handed down.

    The companys advisers have included such national security luminaries as former FBIdirectors William S. Sessions and William H. Webster (who also headed the CIA in the1980s), former CIA director James Woolsey and former NATO commander WesleyClark.
