Continuing our Nugan Hand Bank series of threads...
1) Was Nugan Hand even a bank? What proof is there of it being a bank? What we've discovered is that it hired military senior officers, crooks, Gladio operators. We meet Les Collings next. He was British, with a grammar

2) school education and years of working on a ship as a deckhand...he like many in this story, moved to Australian and began selling real estate. He moved on to selling mutual funds which, in this case, meant he took his % (usually 8% of the investment) and turned

3) the actual management of it over to a professional and moved on to his next target. In 1974 Les Collings was working for Dollar Fund of Australia. Dollar Fund has the distinction of doing what we're told no mutual fund would ever do, stop redeeming its shares.

4) When this happened, the ppl that had investments that Collins had brought into the fund lost everything. His cut came off the top so he was good. As were the others who made up the Dollar Fund scam. These included Peter Dunn, Jerry Gilder and Frank Ward (administer of the fund).

5) The entire staff of Dollar Fund (18) were stranded in around the world when the fund went bust and were left on there own to return to Australia. Wilhelmus Hans was one of the Dollar Fund scammers. He landed at Nugan Hand Bank selling silver bullion investments along side

6) his scouting trips to Africa for arms dealers for Michael Hand. Collins, Gilder, Dunn and Ward would all end up with Nugan Hand. Ironically the Nugan Hand liquidator/investigator for Australia also worked on the Dollar Fund collapse. He met Karl Schuller during that

7) Scam and was told he'd moved on to Nugan Hand selling gold and silver investments, not realizing he'd meet him again on his biggest investigation...Nugan Hand. Nugan Hand had focused on commodities originally and hired a Lebanese immigrant, George Shaw.

8) Shaw focused on coins, primarily silver. Shaw's friend Andrew Lowe, was a partner of sorts. He ran an illegal gambling ring and sold heroin. Shaw and Lowe (his activities were conducted in Chinatown) focused on the Lebanese and Chinese audiences to bank with Nugan Hand.

9) Most of the targets were working in primarily cash industries and used the 'bank' to launder money with international currency exchanges. Basically, these guys worked in the money laundering industry, not commodities or banking. Nugan Hand set up a mutual fund Ingold.

10) It supposedly was precious 80% metals and 20% money market. It was marketed in Germany, Lebanon, and Hong Kong. It didn't pan out and Hand directed Collings to move his Hong Kong operation to Panama. What's interesting about this is timing. Just as the Vietnam

11) war was closing down and the control of the Golden Triangle drug trade was shifting, Nugan Hand moves to Panama. We know that Panama would become integral in the drug trafficking into the US. So Collins ends up in Panama selling 10-12% certificates of deposits.

12) Instead of getting their cash back, Collins was instructed to push Nugan Hand 'certificate of deposits' which would be worthless bc they were solvent or a bank. So the bottomline of Nugan Hand operations: launder money overseas, avoid paying taxes via fraud,

13) high interest rates (promised), and international trade connections especially in weapons/drugs. This was critically important bc in Australia they had laws that strongly discourage exporting capital bc they wanted in invested in Australia. For example, if you leave

14) Australia the banking rules says you can only take $250 with you unless you get a waiver bc you are doing something good for Australia. If you work in Australia for years and you had $1,000 when you got there...that is all you can leave with. They are capital importing.

15) This was the environment Nugan Hand bank operated in. In most of the places Nugan Hand bank operated it pretended to be a bank and granted ppl the appearance of the freedom to do with their money what they wanted...it just wasn't legal. Here is just one example...

16) Back in the beginning we discussed the doctor that lost his entire life savings John K. Ogden. He gave Nugan authority to manage hundreds of thousands of dollars. Another Nugan client in Hong Kong AND Australia was an engineer who did business in both countries.

17) He wanted to buy a house in Australia for $260K so Nugan bought the house with Ogden's money. Ogden then sold the house to Daisley for $160,000 which showed as an Australia loss which saved Ogden taxes. But at the exact same time, the 'loss' would be

18) deposited into a Nugan Hand account in Hong Kong of exactly the 'loss', $100K. Nugan explained to Ogden it was a loop hole and legal. These are the documents being shredded when Nugan Hand was collapsing. In the mid 70's Nugan Hand hires British Ron Pulger-Frame.

19) This is where it gets really interesting. Ron Pulger-Frame had been trained/worked for Deak&Company. It would go bankrupt 10 years later in the mid 80's and was considered by most a CIA front. Nicholas Deak founded Deak&Co and was in the OSS and CIA.

20) His OSS territory was Egypt, Burma, Thailand and Malaya. You know the heroin markets. So keep in mind, post WW2 there is lots of gold that has to be marketed. Laundered. There is German Black Eagle Fund gold, there is Golden Lily gold from the Philippines, there is

21) gold stolen/hidden in Japan that needs to be marketed. They needed several of these types of front companies. From wiki:

22) Holy moly folks. We need to dissect this one more later but read this article...every word. This is so important to the overall exposure of what we're dealing with. salon.com/2012/12/02/bet…

22) So understand the point I've made before...the CIA knew exactly where the next trouble spot would be...they created it. Owning ppl like Deak allowed them to make billions off of trading with insider information. So Ron Pulger-Frame was a go between, between NYC CIA assets

23) and Australian CIA front bank Nugan Hand. In his own words "I was a courier" "I carried things" "Fifty, a hundred thousand dollars". Neil Evans, the guy in Chiang Mai Thailand Nugan Hand branch said there was certain signs, like a pencil behind his ear that allowed

24) Pulger-Frame to walk through customs in foreign countries without question. Pulger-Frame also confirmed he was part of the Lockheed Corp bribery case with Deak was involved in. It toppled the Japanese gov and ppl believe that bc CIA fronts are used in the bribery

25) that it was actually the US gov that orchestrated another coup by fronting the bribe money via CIA cut out Deak. Collins (Hong Kong office) said Pulger Frame regularly brought in money from Indonesia. Meaning CIA money from Indonesia.

26) Nugan Hand dealt with another Australian company K & R Cash Transit, armored car service, whose owner served 18 months in jail for money laundering. The 2 Australian that were instrumental in getting Nugan Hand bank street cred were Ron McKinnon of Australian and

27) New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ Bank). The ANZ bank wrote a letter 6 months before the collapse that Nugan Hand was fine financially. The other bank: Bank of New South Wales. Their rep, Ronald J. Regan gave Nugan Hand a clean bill of health as well.

28) Another one in Hong Kong, Wing-On Bank. Owned by the Kwok Family. The Wing-On Bank guaranteed with its money, deposits Nugan Hand took from certain elite customers, like Chase Manhattan Bank, Fidelity Bank of Philadelphia, Bank of Nova Scotia and other banking houses.

29) Wing-On would require Nugan Hand to, behind the scenes, have this money on file in Australia. Obviously by doing this, Nugan Hand was able to gain prestige among the world elite. But in reality, it was a prepaid debit card arrangement.

30) Nugan Hand did its banking in the US at Irving Trust Co and was recommended to them by Wing-On Bank. Albert Kwok of Wing-On says the one guy that absolutely didn't arrange the deal they had with Nugan Hand...Andrew Lowe. Which means he probably was the one that did it.

31) Remember he's the heroin trafficker with 'Chinese' connections...turned out they were Taiwan connections. Even more interesting is that Lowe's brother Stephen was married to Alwyn Kwok. She's the daughter of the original big Kwok guy.

32) She ran the department store empire for the family, was a board member of the bank. That was a coincidence according to the bank. US consular offices in Hong Kong and Sydney also endorsed Nugan Hand via the Commerce Dept. Reports generated by the State Dept (think CIA)

33) to Commerce was filled with BS saying they were in good financial positions and considered reliable. The State Dept has the company was HQ'd in Hawaii which would make most of its operation illegal since it didn't comply with US banking standards. It list General Earl Yates

34) as the US rep. So Yates would recruit Gen Edwin Black (OSS, Green Beret) who served with all these characters in Vietnam and Thailand. Black was set up as President of the Hawaii branch and Yates as the overall president. Black set up the relationship with Hawaiian Trust Co

35) which basically functioned as the real bank to launder the money transiting the Nugan Hand Hawaii branch. That money went primarily to Panama which of course is where #OperationCondor was being ran out of. It also was the drug trafficking hub.

36) Of course, an accountant was needed to make this all work and initally it was George Brincat (Sydney) but eventually...yes, Price Waterhouse. The CIA favorite 'accountant' 'auditor' falsifier of all accountant data for every CIA front bank I've discovered.

37) Eventually account managers at Price Waterhouse changed in the Bahamas at the exact same time 2 CIA front banks in the Bahamas were collapsing. The Mercantile Bank and Trust Company was also certified by Price Waterhouse.

38) The other one: Paul Helliwell's Castle Bank. They shared officers, directors and customers. They basically owned each other and serviced the CIA Miami black ops covert activities with Cuba and Latin America #OperationCondor

39) Remember this is Helliwell's bank that was money laundering the drugs and weapons trafficking in Vietnam and all of SE Asia via this bank. When the US Army began showing up in force, Helliwell moved from SE Asia to Miami and became the paymaster for the

40) attacks on Cuban using #OperationGladio operators referred to as Cuban Exiles. So the CIA was using drug and weapons proceeds to fund the terrorist attacks on Cuba via Castle/Helliwell. Helliwell as an attorney rep'd these 'banks'. The IRS began investigating

41) Castle and arranged for a Castle exec briefcase to be stolen. The list had celebrities, mafia, etc and the IRS and DOJ suddenly drop the entire case. The CIA convinced DOJ that prosecuting Helliwell wouldn't be a good idea.

42)
In other words the stealing of the list was a convenient way to destroy or taint the case. The only problem was the government already had the list. web.archive.org/web/2020042505…

43) Some on the list included: Chicago's Pritzker family, Detroit land developer Arnold Aronoff, Playboy magazine publisher Hugh Hefner, Penthouse magazine owner Robert Guccione, actor Tony Curtis, the former rock group Creedence Clearwater,

44) and three men -- Morris Dalitz, Morris Kleinman and Samuel A. Tucker. Keep in mind, this is a fake CIA set up bank for money laundering. One of Castle Bank's clients was Wallace Groves. He served 2 yrs in prison for stock fraud and was in the casino business with Meyer Lansky after the conviction.

45) Then the CIA hires him knowing all of that, most likely bc of all that experience. Wallace Groves is another piece of the international syndicate. He had controlling interest in the United Cigar Store and the Whelan Drug Store chain.

46) Guess what would have been hit the hardest when Cuba was no longer trading with the US? The cigar industry? Think he had motivation to fund CIA/Helliwell's Cuban terrorist network? Read through the wiki link on Groves and keep in mind

47) that Resorts International and Mary Carter Paint Co is 100% CIA. Basically, the Reader's Digest version of Groves...he set up the alternative location for the CIA/mafia when they were kicked out of Cuba...in the Bahamas. More to follow as we continue this series. The End.
