The Nugan Hand bank opens branches across South East Asia and sets about employing former high-ranking US military and CIA officers to man them. Michael Hand also builds relationships with the Hong Kong Triads, Golden Triangle heroin traffickers and the CIA.

Michael Hand also builds relationships with the Hong Kong Triads and Golden Triangle heroin traffickers. He then advises his executives that the Nugan Hand bank has become a paymaster for the CIA.

But Frank Nugan's family, which owns a major fruit and transport firm in rural Australia, comes to the notice of authorities. An employee tells the Corporate Affairs Commission about cash cheques bearing the names of drug traffickers linked to the assassination of an anti-drugs campaigner. The Attorney General sets up a Corporate Affairs investigation into the Nugan family company.

Soon after, the Narcotics Bureau learns that the Nugan Hand bank is money laundering for heroin traffickers and attempts to infiltrate the bank. A British intelligence officer offers the Narcotics Bureau a disturbing first-hand account of his own bizarre dealings with the bank.

Frank Nugan brazenly confronts the Narcotics Bureau chiefs and has the investigation stopped. But Nugan's troubles aren't over. Nugan and his brother are arrested for fraud, causing a run on the bank.

Frank Nugan is becoming a liability but promises Mike Hand that the fraud case will never get to court.
