I hope this is not entirely off topic?
Speaking of James Woolsey, his background, when out of government, were studded with some very strange financial and private intelligence/mercenary groups - and some very powerful,and connected people - who were up to no good.
Primary amongst these were Alliance Stars (USA) Inc, of which little trace is now left (having been scrubbed, I believe) and also Crescent Technology Ventures Plc (CTV) -- plus an assorted number of associated similarly named entities dotted around. These and other companies were involved in some very dodgy financial dealings at the time.
Crescent Technology Ventures Plc (CTV)
In the comments section of the following, by a guy who used to use the pseudonym of Offshore Informant, which may be of further interest. We are dealing with former in tell types who become involved in private financial scams - possibly as a means of financing projects, but also for enriching themselves.
In the above linked website is mentioned the name Van Eck Associates. This, I think, relates to Andre Van Eck, a former South African intelligence officer, also involved in financial irregularities and who was in prison when he last contacted me. Van Eck was closely connected to an off-the-books South African group of intelligence professionals that, in turn, connected to private intelligence companies in the UK that were part of the Palace Group that included such defence luminaries as Defence Systems Ltd, Sandline and Bridge International.
The foregoing mentions Usama bin Laden but it seems that part has been edited out "for brevity" - but you can see how these things connect. The Bin laden family connection was via the South African in tell group was via an entity called Saudifin SA.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
