https://pjmedia.com/richardfernandez/the-global-city/ Unnoticed in the blizzard of "Russian collusion" news coverage are the dramatic events in Malaysia where the ruling party lost its 60 year old grip on power over voter anger at what has been dubbed the largest financial scandal in history. [...] One of Razak's alleged henchmen was Malaysian businessman Jho Low, an aspiring player on the globalized business scene. He was the very model of the global man. A graduate of Harrow and Wharton business school, Low had connections with China, Singapore and the Middle East. He was reputedly close to Riza Aziz, the stepson of now deposed Najib Razak. Aziz himself was cut from the same cloth. "Riza holds a BS degree in Government & Economics and an MS in Politics from the London School of Economics. ... In 2010, with producing partner Joey McFarland, Aziz co-founded Red Granite Pictures, an American film finance, development, production and distribution company."
I love stories about big money - particularly scandals. The referenced article reads like a pretty good movie script about the theft of $5 billion. A quote I like: "No masks or firearms were involved."
Reminds me of the saying, give a man a gun and he can rob a bank, give a man a bank and he can rob the world.
