MERCHANTS OF MENACE
A Four-Part True Crime Podcast Series
In January 1980, following the mysterious death of Australian merchant banker Frank Nugan, his American business partner, Michael Hand, ordered the destruction of the bank's records, then disappeared and hasn't been seen since. A dozen Australian and international investigations failed to get to the bottom of the Nugan Hand bank's alleged involvement in gun-running and money laundering for drug traffickers and intelligence agencies, including the CIA. Three decades later, documentary filmmaker and author Peter Butt discovered chilling new evidence about the bankers' illicit operations. In the process, he uncovered the new identity and whereabouts of former CIA operative Michael Hand, one of the world's most elusive corporate fugitives. © ZCAST / BLACKWATTLE PRESS
