Excerpt from the Book:

You are looking at the Meyer Lansky of money laundering All attending the court gasped out loud, and with malice aforethought, stared at me as if I had just landed from outer space.

From humble beginnings in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, Bruce Aitken was destined to be a baseball player until fate stepped in, in the form of a knee injury, and forever changed the course of his life.

What started innocently enough, answering an ad in the newspaper, turned into a globe-trotting lifestyle of moving money - huge sums of money - for some of the world's most notorious and somewhat shady characters. From the jungles of Viet Nam to the money capitals of the world, Bruce moved in circles that would unquestioningly hand over millions of dollars to him on a handshake, to be deposited into Swiss Bank accounts.

It all started to crash via an event in Reno Nevada, and nearly cost Bruce the rest of his life in prison.

Born in 1945 in the USA, Bruce Aitken grew up in a family that was full of faith and spirit and love. After an injury ended a baseball career, he answered an ad in a newspaper that changed his life. Casting fate to the wind, he took a job with American Express in 1969 in war-torn Vietnam, and embarked on a life-long love of the Far East and adventure. It led him to people and companies that offered private and confidential financial services, first with Deak and Company (Far East) Limited in Hong Kong. Professionally known as Mr Clean, Aitken was hired by Nicholas Deak, a member of the forerunner of the CIA, and once acclaimed on the cover of Time as the 'James Bond of moving money'.Aitken became directly involved in some of the most famous financial scandals of the 1970s and 80s: the Lockheed disgrace, the Cessna-Milner affair, the Nugan Hand scandal and many more. After a period of incarceration in a US prison for money laundering, and a longing for purpose in life and redemption, Aitken started a popular Sunday night radio program called Hour of Love, with a special segment called Prison Visitation on the Air with a captive audience of listeners in all Hong Kong correctional facilities.
