Alfred W. McCoy and Sterling and Peggy Seagrave claim that Nugan Hand was totally CIA controlled (via Paul Helliwell), seeing it as part of a series of CIA-controlled banks, preceded by Castle Bank & Trust and succeeded by the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI). They state that the bank was just small stepping stone for the CIA in laundering capital that started during World War II.[1][2]

It has long been a subject of speculation that Nugan Hand played some part in Australian prime minister Gough Whitlam's dismissal.

Remarkably, no one connected with Nugan Hand has ever been convicted of a crime.
