In early 1991, Riconosciuto filed an affidavit[7] before a House judiciary committee investigating the bankruptcy case of Inslaw Inc. v. United States Government.[8] Riconosciuto was called to testify before Congress regarding the modification of PROMIS, a case-management software program that had been developed for the Department of Justice by Washington, D.C.-based Inslaw Inc..[9] Riconosciuto declared that he had been under the direction of Earl Brian, who was then a controlling shareholder and director of Hadron, Inc..
Hadron[10] was a competitor to Inslaw and was also a government consulting firm with "several contracts with the Department of Defense and the CIA.".[11]
Within eight days of this declaration, Riconosciuto was arrested for conspiracy to manufacture, conspiracy to distribute, possession with intent to distribute, and with distribution - a total of ten counts related to methamphetamine and methadone.[7][12]
During his trial, Riconosciuto accused the Drug Enforcement Administration of stealing two copies of his tape. Then later he claimed a third was tossed by him into a Washington State swamp.
In addition to his claims of a government "frame up" related to Inslaw, Riconosciuto maintained that the chemical laboratory on his property was in use for the extraction of precious metals such as platinum in a highly specialized mining operation.[13]
