Introduction
Donald Anthony Nixon was born on December 12, 1945. He is an American businessman and the nephew of former U.S. President Richard Nixon. His parents were Donald Nixon (1914β1987), who was Richard Nixon's brother, and Clara Jane Lemke (1920β2013).
Nixon grew up in Southern California. He served in the Vietnam War and attended various colleges and universities during his early years. Specific details about his educational background are not provided.
In the early 1970s, Nixon's family encouraged him to take a financial position with financier Robert Vesco in Europe. While residing in Geneva, Nixon demonstrated proficiency and built a relationship with Vesco, who was the chairman of a sizable organization that owned banks, mutual funds, real estate, and other global assets. Nixon became Vesco's live-in assistant and later conducted business internationally with various businesses and governments.
By the mid-1990s, Nixon reconnected with Vesco, who was then living in Cuba and maintaining ties to the government. During this period, Nixon assisted in establishing manufacturing facilities and clinical trials for a drug called Viroxan, which was purportedly an immunity booster derived from citronella-based herbal remedies.
In May 1995, the Cuban authorities accused Nixon of being involved in the "international drug trade" alongside Vesco. This led to Nixon and Vesco's detention by the Cuban government. Nixon was permitted to leave Cuba in July of that year. Vesco was subsequently convicted of "economic crimes against the state" and sentenced to thirteen years in prison.
There are no additional details available regarding Nixon's activities or career following these events.
