CIA Career
His main role for the CIA was setting up front companies, like Consultants International, used to covertly ship supplies around the world for the CIA. As director of these firms, which also conducted legitimate business, he amassed a great deal of money. In 1971 after 15 years with the CIA, he moved to Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) and at the request of the ONI, offered the assistance of the front companies. He retired on paper from ONI in 1976, continuing to run the businesses he had built under the guidance of the CIA, the largest of which was Consultants International. He amassed a fortune of 20 million dollars through these businesses, and continued to offer covert shipping services at the request of the CIA long after his official retirement.
