Lauchlin Bernard Currie was a Canadian economist best known for being President Franklin Roosevelt's chief economic advisor during World War II. After Roosevelt's death, he led the first World Bank survey mission to Colombia and eventually settled there, becoming an economic advisor to the Colombian government.

It is possible that this occurred because he had been named by two Soviet defectors and in nine partially decrypted cables sent by Soviet agents, but he was never charged with a crime and debate remains around if he knowingly collaborated.
