Bruce Aitken is a radio host and the author of the book Mr Clean - Cash, Drugs and the CIA: The True Story of a Master Money Launderer, in which he writes about laundering money in the 1970s and 80s, including his time as an employee of Nicholas Deak, believed to have been a banker to the CIA.[1][2][3]
Life[edit]
Aitken grew up in New Jersey.[4] He moved to Vietnam in 1969, during the Vietnam War, to work for American Express.[4] He later moved to Hong Kong.[4]
In 1989, he was arrested in Thailand and sent to the United States on money-laundering and drug-trafficking charges. He was later sentenced to five years in jail and served less than one as part of a plea bargain.[4]
Aitken has broadcast his religious-themed radio show The Hour of Love since 2004.[4] In an article for the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Hong Kong's The Correspondent magazine in August 2020, he wrote of the show: “On the radio programme, real letters from inmates are received and read live into the public realm.”[5]
Speaking of his broadcast work to the New York Times in 2017, Aitken said: “Maybe I do it for my own personal penance.”[4]
