#1MDB global financial scandal that has spread from Malaysia to Hollywood

Accepting his 2014 Golden Globe Award for acting in “The Wolf of Wall Street,” Leonardo DiCaprio thanked “Joey, Riz and Jho,”

“for taking a risk on this movie.”

The film is based on the memoir of a stockbroker who defrauded investors out of millions of dollars in the 1980s.
latimes.com/world/la-fg-ma…
The three men — Joey McFarland, Riza Aziz and Jho Low — have since been accused in connection with an even bigger fraud: the theft of more than $4.5 billion from a Malaysian government investment fund known as #1MDB.

💰1MDB Global Scandal💰

What is 1MDB?

Short for 1Malaysia Development Berhad (which means limited), the fund was set up in 2009 by then-Prime Minister Najib Razak to invest government revenues in real estate

MAIN THREAD #1MDB
Questions arose in early 2015 when the fund failed to meet payments on $11 billion in debt.

🔑The WSJ then published documents showing that about $700M from 1MDB-linked entities had ended up in Najib’s personal bank accounts just before elections in 2013.
latimes.com/world/la-fg-ma…
By far the largest transactions that flowed into Malaysian PM Najib’s accounts were two deposits of $620M & $61M in March 2013, during a heated election campaign in Malaysia.

I've debated responding bc this isn't surprising, but it's still jarring to see how tone deaf, self-congratulatory& unable to learn from past mistakes #Hollywood can be -- despite what might be best intentions on all sides. A thread #Syria
variety.com/2018/film/news…
I appreciate @lenadunham @jjabrams Spielberg using their high profile to highlight #Syria stories.But why not enable Syrian storytellers? There are so many Syrian writers/directors who have lived a version of these stories or are at least way more intimately acquainted w/them
If no Syrians can be found, there are also Iraqi Lebanese Palestinian Egyptian and Arab American artists who are more intimately acquainted with these stories. Some of them are already in Hollywood...

For 3 years, @bradleyhope & I have investigated one of the largest financial heists in history. Its mastermind is a man named Jho Low, a fugitive. In our new book, Billion Dollar Whale, on-sale today, we tell a true-tale of crazy rich Asians. Read on: /1 barnesandnoble.com/w/billion-doll…
Low’s is more than just a heist story--though the theft of $5B, is staggering. It's a tale about how money buys anything in the world: a mega-yacht, friendship with Leo DiCaprio, trips to the @WhiteHouse, attention from @GoldmanSachs. Money+chutzpah make the world go round. /2
And the more money you have, the more you can manipulate it. Born into a moderately wealthy family in Penang, Low got his taste for wealth at the elite UK school Harrow. He talked his way into a nightclub for the first time (ChinaWhite) and played his first game of roulette /3
