[Recommended] Billion Dollar Whale by Tom Wright and Bradley Hope

[dr.wailing]

The definitive inside account of the “extraordinary” (Financial Times) 1MDB scandal, “a true life thriller” (Ben Mezrich) about a “modern Gatsby” who managed to swindle over $5 billion with the aid of Goldman Sachs and others–a “must read” (Booklist) “epic tale” (Publishers Weekly) that exposes the secret nexus of elite wealth, banking, Hollywood, and politics from two award-winning Wall Street Journal reporters.

In 2009, with the dust yet to settle on the financial crisis, a baby-faced, seemingly mild-mannered Wharton grad began setting in motion a fraud of unprecedented gall and magnitude–one that would come to symbolize the next great threat to the global financial system. His name is Jho Low, a man whose behavior was so preposterous he might seem made up.

An epic true-tale of hubris and greed, Billion Dollar Whale reveals how this young social climber pulled off one of the biggest heists in history–right under the nose of the global financial industry. Federal agents who helped unravel Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme say the 1MDB affair will become the textbook case of financial fraud in the modern age–and its fallout is already being credited for taking down the prime minister of Malaysia. With his yacht and private jet reportedly seized by authorities and facing money-laundering charges in Malaysia, an Interpol red notice, and an ongoing U.S. Department of Justice Investigation, Low has become an international fugitive.

For readers of Liar’s Poker, Den of Thieves, and Bad Blood, Billion Dollar Whale will become a classic, harrowing parable about finance run amok.

Chief Natural Aristocrat, who used to be very buddy to MO1, was introduced to Jho Low by the latter. By the way, MO1 is the designation given by US DOJ to the infamous kleptocrat of Malaysia.

Thanks to Jho Low, the wife of CNA who is also the owner of Teamasick, bought some real estate in the Middle East at steep discounts. Through their private investment companies, both husband and wife are shareholders of some of Dubai's glamourous infrastructure, including its tallest building.

The question to ask is: where do the private investment vehicles of CNA and his wife source the money to fund their multi-million dollar purchases? Definitely not from 1MDB or Jho Low.

To answer the question, all Sinkies need to ask is: who are the owners of Sinkapore?
