George Webb's Indio - Part Fourteen
Nugan Hand Bank, And Casolaro's CIA Meetings That Go Uncovered
Some of the readers of my Indio series have mentioned that I omitted the CIA Banks and the drug trade in Southeast Asia, and this post acknowledges that fact. The CIA did move from Southeast Asia Bank to Southeast Asia Bank from the end of World War II to finance the CIA’s drug trade until this very day.
I omitted the name of Nugan Hand Bank and Danny Casolaro’s investigation into Nugan Hand previously in the series. Nugan Hand transitioned into BCCI Bank, which I have covered extensively, but I readily admit the Nugan Hand omission.
Casolaro did not just report on the Pakistani-Saudi Bank BCCI; he also put the Australian flag on the CIA drug-runner suitcase. I have covered the precursor bank to the Nugan Hand Bank, the CIA’s Paul Helliwell’s Castle Bank. I have covered Paul Helliwell’s CIA drug-running program extensively, as well as Colonel Edward Lansdale.

Some writers like Jeremy Kuzmarov have covered Casolaro’s involvement with Nugan Hand Bank.

I disagree with the copy of the $4 million check in Danny Casolaro’s briefcase. Israel spy and bagman Ari Ben Menashe specifically states that the $4 million was deposited in Dr. Earl Brian’s bank account, an Anthrax warfare expert.
But I will admit I have not covered Casolaro’s meetings with CIA insider Edwin P. Wilson who can Casolaro of the Southeast Bank to Bank hopscotch the CIA used for their drug trade.
I will cover this topic more in future episodes after further research. For now, I admit the Nugan Hand bridge for Helliwell’s Castle Bank to BCCI is a key link that can’t be overlooked in Casolaro’s research.
