Frank Coe
Virginius Frank Coe worked in the Board of Economic Warfare and later became the Director of Monetary Research in the United States Department of the Treasury. Coe also worked in the Board of Economic Warfare and the Foreign Economic Administration. Coe was technical secretary at the Bretton Woods Conference in 1944.
After World War II Coe was a leading official of the International Monetary Fund from 1946 to 1952. Coe was a member of the Soviet spy group known as the Silvermaster ring.
When testifying before the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee in 1952, Coe interrupted his testimony by invoking the Fifth Amendment when asked if he knew Philip Jessup, who at the time was being considered for the World Court.
In 1958 Coe moved permanently to China to work for the Maoist regime during the Great Leap Forward, culminating in what Chinese history recalls as the Three Years of Disasters. By 1959, Coe was writing articles justifying the Rectification campaign, which the Epoch Times characterized in December 2004 as "darkest and most ferocious power game ever played out in the human world".
Coe died in China in 1980.
