Fun fact, Not only Najib but the whole political party involved are still standing still in the country. They have earned much support from the community. When you have control of legislation, and hired the best lawyers team, you will be free of charges for any crime. For Jho Low, he is travelling in other country with all his money. Not even interpool could search which country he is in now.
Steal billions get a fine, steal a few dollars get jail for life.
Shoutout WSJ for bringing this to the international community. Real Journalism – highlighting the flaws in the US banking system and the rampant corruption of Najib and Jho Low
I was writing my assignment on this, I feel like more Malaysians must get into the know especially the younger generation. They really bamboozeled us with this one.
The real shocker of it all is that anyone is shocked at all. This is how things have worked for a long time. If it’s so appalling, then thousands of people need to be put on trial and sentenced to prison. But instead, those with the power to act are content to collect their share of the proceeds of crime.
Celebrities: Protect the environment! End corruption! Also celebrities: excessively lavish lifestyles, benefiting from corruptions It rings very hollow, doesn’t it?

It blows up when there is true investigative reporting We need more of that
What surprised me the most they’re many Najib supporters who still believe the charges against him are political and he’s the victim and innocent. 
So true that every 10-15 years Goldman manages to be found involved in some serious financial crimes or abuse of security loopholes. Each time is something different. Just like clock work, it was involved with the eventual collapse of Archegos. Deutsche, HSBC, Credit Suisse and many more international banks are also have the similar pattern of abuse.
Man, these banks have no fear of anything. If it’s something to do with the US, then Goldman comes up. If it’s something to do with Europe, then Deutsche bank comes up.
As Malaysian, let me give you the update.. he still walk freely, involve in parliament, and even file appeal for tax return.. thanks me later
Kudos to the excellent investigative journalism by WSJ.
Small thief goes to jail Big thief goes to parliament
Love this story. As long as J Low keeps taking his diabetes medication I reckon he will live to a good ripe old age enjoying retirement funded by the Malaysian taxpayers.
Great reporting! Far between nowadays. Good job
I feel for the good people of Malaysia
“Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.” ― Plato
Malaysia is famous for all the wrong reasons. From MAS to 1MDB to Kim Jong Nam’s assassination. But as the saying goes, malu apa bossku?
And yet there are still many staunch supporters of Najib believe that he is innocent till this day although he has been convicted in court for stealing the people’s monies.

Thank you WSJ for your reporting
It’s always after it happens that it’s blatantly obvious

Mark my words, this has all the beautiful facts to become a great movie .
a company pays a fine of 3 billion after earning 5 billion…
There’s a whole documentary on Netflix about it. An episode on Dirty Money I believe?
doesn’t anybody find it interesting that GS had to pay only $2.5B to Malaysian Govt, while the resulting debt through their wrongdoing was over $11B. Meanwhile they pay $2.8B to Uncle Sam even though they didn’t steal from him 
Every sleazy financial story that I hear about seems to have some connection to Goldman Sachs…..
WE ARE OF THE OPINION THAT THE GENTING WAS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO NAJIB’S IMDB’S CORRUPTION. THE PRIME MINISTER SHOULD DIRECT THE MCCC TO INVESTIGATE THE INTERRELATED CORRUPTION MATTER.
FYI: Najib out on bail and currently helping his political party to gain voters confidence for the upcoming election.
And as usual, no arrests. No indictments. A 2 tiered justice system.
Goldman Sachs is soulless
I’ll be honest, if could rip off the little man, I would do it. Some thieves are never caught.
What’s sadder is that the culprits are still walking free even into parliement
Robbers don’t wear mask, they wear suit and tie.
Notes for future: Turkish Wealth Fund will share same destiny with the 1MDB. WSJ may start to investigate.
Leo-our planet is dying because of pollution Also leo-lets do biggest party of year
A total disgrace to the nation. We are ashamed. Thoroughly.

Netflix’s Dirty Money covers this in more detail
Just finished reading Billion Dollar Whale, what a roller coaster of a book.. Much more detailed if you’re interested..
It’s funny this video targeted Jho the launderer instead of the wolves behind who insisted that they’re innocent. Seeing a pattern of a black sheep taking all the blames because the operation went wrong.
Hi Wall Street Journal, I like your content. I love watching your videos.
This should be a movie!!
Thank you Najib ,, you have made Malaysia famous for the wrong reasons …
Why isn’t a large portion of the Goldman (Government) Sachs fine/settlement with the US authorities being paid to the Malaysian government?
Freedom and democracy with capitalism equal to opportunity
The question is if Goldman and Sachs knew this was a scam right from the get go because if that was the case then they should be barred from doing business and just close shop
Isnt Malaysia a devout follower of Islam? why is the former PM wife living so lavishly ? May the people of Malaysia recover all the siphoned funds and see that justice is served. God is just and all mighty.
Stealing from government public funds? that’s “low”!
And the Malaysian people still love this “boss”
…and lots of people still believe the legendary Jibby is innocent
It was weird that a lot of Malaysian still praised najib razak and believe this scandal was a lie. They called him the boss. They still support him. Even the gov who won and start uncovering the scandal was toppled in just 2 years. The court have sentenced him to 12 years in prison, but he still roam freely, still hold his position as a lawmaker and perhaps, with the current Malaysian political situation, a second scandal like this is possible. 
. Hopefully not.
. Hopefully not.

Still smaller than India’s 2G scandal in terms of money
The sleepy penalty potentially fail because route uniformly bang around a skinny hail. hurried, whimsical comb
Why is it that Goldman Sachs is always involved in these kind of things.
“produced wolf of wall street” with stolen money.
They wanted to be the Wall Street of Asia, and now they wanna complain that they actually became the Wall Street of Asia. LOL. Be careful for what you wish…
In similar story from few thousand miles from KL there was called BUILT BUILT BUILT initiative, its now 3b $ and still growing, Cant wait WSJ has something to say on these worthless and overpriced projects.
One stold a lot of M. and fined only a cent. Really like s new business entity and motivates more others to copy. money is king and roam freely in.a world of his class. One person law is more powerful than law of the land.
ironic najib still wondering around, and holding government in malaysia.
Wait, why does the US government get to seize the assets? Doesn’t that mean the whole affair effectively transferred billions of Malaysians’ tax payer money into US government coffers?
Najib knew this all along, he just did not expect BN to lose.
They should hire the girl with the dragon tattoo, she can find the money
Pendedahan demi pendedahan .. DS Najib masih dgn muka tak bersalahnya .. tak tahu malu .. tak ada maruah langsung. Jadi seorang Islam sebenar. Jauhi sifat munafiq. 1. Bagi amanah dia khianati. 2. Bila berjanji dia tak tepati 3. Bila bercakap dia berbohong. Whole world had proved the wrong doing .. masih tak rasa bersalah. Apakah dah terlalu biasa dgn benda HARAM?
Is it believable Goldman Sachs CEO is not involved in a 6.5 billion deal?
And all the culprits still free moving around & continue doing their own business
I didn’t know a movie website could be this corrupt!
I want to believe that Najib is old/out of his peak and got scammed by this jlow guy, just like elderly got scammed by tech support. Maybe he does have the nation’s best intent in mind, just, his mind is already rusted. But what do i know
Goldman paid US government 2.8B USD?? What is in it for Malaysian people? Or the bond holders?
I thought Goldman Sackers was not longer an investment bank but a commercial bank?
Steal Billions and so far no VVIP, VIP and those involves go to jail….Crimes without Punishment….and so far Rakyat got to payback 1 MDB debts
the judge answered for Najib’s trial is simple… if it is donation where are the thank you letters.
Can see characticic on face. Most of them are thief, copycats. I can even see few are very nice and decent but like them are same people from same place. Only difference is stealing same a amount and big amount 
And today,he is still working around the globe freely.Malaysia democracy and law is dead.I hope big countries can interfere
That’s why I don’t invest a penny. Those con men will suck your blood dry and confused you with their papers
Najib supporters be like fake news!
Shouldn’t the us govt reimburse malaysia 🇲🇾 for part of it?
Jail all of them paid taxes for35 years always 1 month payment so in one year i earned for 11 months
Malasia’s former prime minister involved in the fraud was convicted and sentenced BUT he still roams freely and is debating in parliament. Kangaroo court of banana republic.
U already have Khazanah Nasional which is a very big sovereign fund but 1mdb want to join the league but in a corrupted and criminal way
I cant believe they stole 4 billion dollars just like that
Welcome to the club of world greatest financial fugitive this also includes India’s Vijay Mallya n Nirva Modi
If it was the same story with the corrupt heads of state around the world…
just watched Mr. Najib gave a speech in the live streaming of a parliament session with 12k viewers.
loves using his religion to justify his action.
meanwhile a millionaire paid USD750 tax, creative accounting
They should make a movie on this.
Well.if Malaysia pit more work into its own business instead of poking its nose somewhere else. Thi would not hve happened
Looking forward to the day I immigrate away from Malaysia for good.
I love this country
Why they do? Just for oligarchy…how many times they spend for sleep n food? Everything is lost in one times…think about it
they said allegedly 4 billion times
And he still an MP 
I don’t think he has heard “archipelago” been said before…
at least PM was accused and sent to jail,
you should really careful about chinese people I am from Indonesia and my lecturer once said this. “be careful with Chinese, if something wrong happen to them (like this Jho Low guy), they will go back to China and no one will ever find him anymore bcs almost entirely Chinese people have “same face”, and I assume no one can tell any different if this Jho Low guy wanders around China without his glasses but using the mask. He will live peacefully and quietly bcs they can speak Chinese while the one who’s after them cannot speak Chinese.
