Should we be surprised? We once had the Nugan Hand Bank

The Nugan Hand Bank was an Australian-based merchant bank that operated during the 1970s. It was founded by Australian lawyer Frank Nugan and American ex-Green Beret Michael Hand. The bank gained notoriety due to its alleged involvement in illegal activities, including money laundering, drug trafficking, and arms smuggling.

During the Vietnam War, the CIA and other intelligence agencies were involved in covert operations in Southeast Asia. These operations included supporting anti-communist forces, gathering intelligence, and disrupting enemy activities. There have been allegations and conspiracy theories suggesting that the Nugan Hand Bank had connections to the CIA and was used as a front for intelligence activities.

Some of the claims made include the bank’s involvement in laundering money for the CIA’s covert operations, using drug profits to fund anti-communist activities, and facilitating arms smuggling in the region. However, it is important to note that these claims remain largely unproven, and the extent of the bank’s alleged involvement with the CIA remains a subject of speculation and controversy.

In the 1980s, investigations into the Nugan Hand Bank’s activities began, and the bank collapsed in 1980. Frank Nugan died under mysterious circumstances in 1980, and Michael Hand disappeared but was later found living in the United States. The investigations uncovered evidence of financial irregularities and illegal activities within the bank, but the direct links to the CIA’s involvement were never conclusively proven.

It’s worth noting that the Nugan Hand Bank case is regarded as one of the most infamous financial scandals in Australian history. However, the exact nature of its connections to the CIA and the extent of its involvement in illegal activities remains a subject of debate and speculation.
