It’s amazing how officials allowed Nugan Hand Bank to continue with the charter of a bank. Investigative reporter Rod Stich named the agencies whose people never spoke out in his book "Those Ugly Americans":
. Australia’s financial oversight agencies, especially the Reserve Bank
. Citicorp, which traded securities with Nugan Hand
. Australia Tax Office - people familiar with Nugan Hand’s operation
. the accounting firm that certified the Nugan Hand records
. the local US Consul General who knew of the CIA operatives
. New South Wales Premier (Governor) who had offices adjacent to Nugan Hand
. Irving Trust Company, the US correspondent bank for Nugan Hand
. NSW Corporate Affairs Commission that stonewalled reporters’ requests for information
. Prominent Australian lawyers who worked closely with Nugan Hand
. Australian Department of Commerce – with considerable information about Nugan Hand’s activities
. Australian intelligence agencies that worked with US counterparts that knew about NH’s rogue operations,
. And others.
