 LaFrance met Lister through [[Richard Wilker]], a former Laguna Beach resident LaFrance described as an ex-CIA agent. "Wilker had heard about my stuff from the Agency. He said he had a friend who wanted to talk about a deal. I called to check and Langley said he [Wilker] was still working for the Agency. So I started doing business with Lister and Wilker." LaFrance said Lister was not officially a CIA employee: "He wasn't getting a paycheck from them. He may have said he did but his connection was... with Wilker. Very few people ever work directly for the Agency."[^1]
