Excerpt Re Barry Kusnick
From The Octopus, Secret Government and the Death of Danny Casolaro

Barry Kusnick, a computer engineer who had also worked on PROMIS enhancements, also made the list. According to one report, Kusnick's enhancement was called Brainstorm, an artificially intelligent program that applied the prognosticating ability of PROMIS to individual thought patterns. It ostensibly allowed PROMIS to deduce from personality characteristics the potential action of the person being traced. As in the Inslaw case, Kusnick apparently made the modifications under a government contract that the government failed to pay on, instead attempting to drive Kusnick into bankruptcy. Kusnick had previously done communications and intelligence work for Northrop Corporation and the U.S. military. His body has never been found, and nine months after he was reported missing family members were unable to get a known business partner to acknowledge knowing him. Five boxes of his belongings were found in a lock-up facility. ("Inslaw," Leading Edge, p. 48).
