U.S. Chases Penthouses and Beverly Hills Mansions in 1MDB Probe
- One condo in the Time Warner Center has a 64-foot-long terrace
- Jho Low and ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ backer said to divert fundsOne apartment in Manhattan’s Time Warner Center has a 64-foot-long
terrace outside a master suite with a walk-in closet, two bathrooms and
a separate dressing room. A mansion in Beverly Hills features a
pyramid in the middle of an indoor pool.Those are two of the 11 pieces of real estate the U.S. government is
trying to seize as part of an investigation into the alleged
misappropriation of $3.5 billion from a Malaysian state fund,
according to a court filing Wednesday by the U.S. Justice Department.

The U.S. links most of
the real estate to Riza Aziz,
a stepson of Malaysia’s
prime minister, and Jho Low,
a friend and financier known
for partying with Lindsay
Lohan and Paris Hilton.
Riza produced “The Wolf
of Wall Street,” a movie
about decadence and greed
starring Leonardo DiCaprio,
and Low got an on-screen
credit and a mention in the actor’s Golden Globes speech. Money they
allegedly diverted from the fund -- 1Malaysia Development Bhd.,
known as 1MDB -- was raised through bond offerings underwritten
by Goldman Sachs Group Inc., according to the complaint.“Unfortunately and tragically, a number of corrupt officials treated
this public trust as a personal bank account,” Attorney General
Loretta Lynch said Wednesday.‘Fantasy Island’
Among the other properties is a $33.5 million condo at the Park
Laurel near Lincoln Center allegedly bought by a shell company
controlled by Aziz. It has a 1,244-square-foot (116-square-meter)
terrace wrapping around a corner, according to a listing that mentions soundproofing and heated marble floors. Low is said to have
spent $39 million on another mansion in Beverly Hills that once
belonged to “Fantasy Island” actor Ricardo Montalban, then built
a gym and upgraded the audio-visual system, the complaint says.

Money traveled through
shell companies, checks,
wire transfers and accounts
with JPMorgan Chase
& Co., Deutsche
Bank AG, Rothschild Bank
AG and BSI Bank Ltd.,
according to the Justice
Department, which didn’t
accuse them of wrongdoing.
The deal for the $30.6 million
Time Warner penthouse allegedly involved money diverted from
1MDB to a Swiss bank account to one in Singapore to an account
in the name of Low’s father, according to the complaint.Low has said he provided consulting to 1MDB that didn’t break any
laws, while the fund and Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak have
both denied wrongdoing. The investment fund said in a statement
that it wasn’t a party to the suit and hasn’t been contacted by the
Justice Department.Pricey Penthouse
The government wants to seize more than $1 billion of assets.
Besides residential real estate, money that allegedly ended up
with public officials and their relatives and associates was spent
on a private jet, Monet paintings, a stake in Central Park South’s
Park Lane Hotel and gambling expenses at Las Vegas casinos,
the Justice Department alleges. Its complaint says Low gambled
there with DiCaprio.His character in “The Wolf of Wall Street” has a condo in
midtown Manhattan, complete with a terrace that his friends
use to dangle a man over the street. In real life, it sold for less
than $8 million, a fraction of the $50.9 million price for the
penthouse in Chelsea’s Walker Tower allegedly bought by an
associate, Khadem Al Qubaisi. The former United Arab Emirates
official diverted funds to buy it, the Justice Department said.Lynch said the civil action and asset seizures are the largest ever
brought by the department’s six-year-old Kleptocracy Asset
Recovery Initiative, set up to combat corruption and money laundering.Jordan Belfort, the real-life stockbroker played by DiCaprio,
was convicted in 2003 of money laundering and securities fraud.
He served about half of a four-year prison sentence.Mana mahu lari???Lu Fikir La Sendiri!!!
"The controversy erupted when The Wall Street Journal reported that the United States delivered $400 million in cash to Iranian officials after Tehran released the American detainees. It has provided an irresistible opportunity for Iran-bashing and Obama-bashing." TNYT

Waima TNYT mengatakan WSJ membuat fitnah ke atas Obama yakni dalam kata lain bukan sekali WSJ buat laporan palsu malah Tun M sendiri pernah dilaporkan telah menggelapkan wang rakyat sebanyak 50 bilion! Damnm you WSJ.
Wakakaka
Bila komen di akhiri dengan wakakaka tuh bermakna pengkomn nya tak serius, komen main main aje, tak perlu di hemahkan apa dia kata.
PadamPahal pun komen bodoh, orang cakap pasal harta di Beverly Hills dll, dia cakap pasal cash kpd Iranians. Gila punya Jing Jibo.
orang takut bini mmg mcm ni eh jing jibo...nafsu besar nak berbini ramai tapi yg ada satu ni pun tak terlawan..
PadamDuit 1MDB dicuri dan disalahgunakan oleh personaliti2 tertentu boleh menyebabkan sakit darah tinggi.....
BalasPadamNamun apabila terlihat gambar Rani Kulup buat Repot Polis dalam Sinar Harian.....hilang pula rasa marah dan timbul senyuman dan gelaK ketawa
1. Laporan polis banyak dan dibuat, namun PDRM buat derk jak kalau involved 1MDB dan MO1.
2. Teringat kes Duit Pisang Di zaman jajahan jepun di sarawak... langsung tak laku....serupa laporan polis yang jumlahnya tak payah disebut.
Saya suka lawak Raja Bomoh meninjau dengan teropong buluh, kebodohan ali tinju dan jamal ikan bakar....ia boleh mengubati hati yang susah....terhibur katakan
Hanya ada perasaan malu dengan bangsaku yang sama2 menganuti agama islam seperti zahid, hishamuddin, nazry, azalina, bung, salleh, rahman, shahidan, aziz kiprawi, tajudfin, mahadzir, anuar musa, shahrir, mad 3.85, khairy, idris harun dan lain....maruah dijual demi pangkat, kuasa dan harta.....sedih
Setuju, sedih. Mereka semua dah termakan dedak. Dedak dalam bentuk wang tunai. Beratus ribu, malahan berjuta, macam kata Shahrir, Ketua UMNO Bahagian Johor Bahru yang mengaku dia terima RM1 juta.
Padam"At that time, Washington froze Iranian assets in the United States, including money paid by Tehran for military hardware that the United States never delivered after its ally there, the shah, was overthrown. In 1981, the two countries agreed that a tribunal at The Hague would adjudicate the legal claims." TNYT
BalasPadamKomen:
Cuma kerana negara Islam bertukar dari monarki kepada republik, berbilion harta rakyat negara Islam dirembat oleh AS. Ini adalah menepati ciri-ciri kleptokrasi sebenar iaitu tindakan sebuah kuasa besar yang merembat terang-terang duit rakyat di negara Islam tapi tak mahu mengaku dan PBB hanya sebut "Oh I See" (OIC).
Jing Jibo seperti biasa takda fakta dan hujah nak defend anak tiri dan kroni Najib, keluarkan cerita Iran. Paling bodoh punya ... ah well, kalau ia pun, dia anjing.
PadamBila Doj pejam sebelah mata terhadap rembatan yang AS lakukan, Doj dengan sendirinya hilang kelayakan untuk tegakkan keadilan terhadap lain lain kes. Perkara ini penting kerana melibatkan perkara paling asas dalam aspek keadilan iaitu hanya pihak yang adil boleh memberikan keadilan sementara pihak yang tidak pernah adil tidak mungkin dapat hulurkan keadilan sebenar.
PadamAli Tunji dan Jamal tongkol sebenar tidak bodoh tetapi bijak mengambil kesempatan atas kebodohan orang lain. Sama macam kes Shamsul Baharin menipu laki Syahrizat lembu.
BalasPadamWahh banyak tuu...jadi apa yg boleh kita buat..?mohd najib seolah2 keball..semakin banyak terdedah semakin dia buat2 muka poyo..seolah xde apa2 berlaku...

Fuck him. He is an accomplice to the crime Najib committed. He might even be the bastard who schemed and proposed to Najib the wanking of the monies from 1MDB. He ought to shot. In communist China, he would.
sama la citer nya lim guan eng dan DAP melantak duit rakyat kat Penang...dan Azmin Dayus dan geng2 PKR DAP nya melantak duit rakyat kat Selangor...
BalasPadamFuck you. For saying sama.

Ini Jing Jibo mengarut dan mengacau tak habis habis, cakap wild accusations, without any explanations or justification.
PadamPembaca yang tak biasa di sini boleh baca pengenalan atau CV nya -
Anjing Jibo
Anjing Jibo di blog ini sekor saja. Selalu masuk tak pakai nama, ada masa menyamar pakai nama yang orang lain dah pakai di sini, ada masa pakai nama seperti Keris Berayon dll. Semua Protun di sini tahu bahawa yang di hayon nya ha nya bola dia. Dan bola Jibo, bos dia.
Bola yang kecut sebab Jing Jibo ni dah tua. Masuk sini pagi petang siang malam, walau pun pukul 2-3-4 pagi. Menipu, membohong, memfitnah. Dah tua baka tapi otak budak kecik. Itu pasal apa yg dia cakap selalu nya mcm bebudak.
Anjing Jibo ini gunakan berbagai mode, cara, gaya bahasa, nada bercakap. Kekadang guna mode bertitik ... kekadang mode bebudak kikiki, hahaha, hehehe, (terakhir ini Warghh kaahh kaahhh kaaahhhh pulak), kekadang serius, bahasa tinggi sikit. Terakhir ini, banyak memantun macam kartun.
Tapi pada umum nya - terutama nya bila dia dah tak tahu nak response atau meradang - dia mengarut dan mencarut. Dia di kasi makan dedak, takda melukut yang ada habuk beras sikit pun, takda zat, tak membina otak nya. Pengtahuan nya cetek, selalu nya bodoh, bangang, bongok, bingong, bingal, baghal.
Kita teruskan balas, bidas, sebat, belasah, hentam, tibai, kritik, kutuk, ketuk, sekel, pelangkong, kentot dan tahikan dia. Itu saja cara nak deal dengan dia.
Pada masa masa nya, jangan pedulikan dia, pulaukan dia.

Piihak berkuasa polis dan SPRM ada kalau mau siasat
Tak usah le nak hasut ajak rakyat ikut juga jadi sesat
1. Saya bukan penggemar mahathir secara peribadi sebab beliau bukan maksum. Namun tiada siapa yang boleh menidakkan keupayaan beliau sebagai PM Malaysia. Jasanya jauh lebih dari apa yang anti mahathir lemparkan..tak apa.
BalasPadam2. Dalam umur saya seusia kemerdekaan malaysia (sabah, sarawak dan malaya).. sememangnya banyak telah berubah dari tunku hingga mahathir turun takhta. Malangnya Pak Lah kurang mampu untuk membawa negara ke tahap yang kebih tinggi.
3. Aspirasi dan harapan rakyat tinggi menggunung apabila najib, "the chosen one" mengambil tempat pak lah. Manusia, rambut sama hitam, hati dan niat lain2. Masaalahnya apabila nafsu mengatasi akal.....lahirlah 1MDB yang sangat menyedihkan hati
Sekumpulan orang dalaman mshu membetulkan keadaan, namun di singkirkan. Orang yang telah lama menerajui jabatsn3 yang penting telah FIKAMBINGHITAMKAN.
4. Mahathir telah lama memerhatikan langkah2 ini dan cuba mempebaikinya. Namun gagal sebab melayu sekarang mahu materialistik namun bersembunyi atas nama melayu, agama dan negara.
5. Apabila mahathir menulis pasal "the yan sris, semua menuding kata mahathir telah expose kes alleged conspiracy. I have reac his comments on this snd i discover many prople did not see his wisdom. He said "one of them betray the others"....becos 3 tan sris were mentioned, they forgot there were 4 tan sris..MAHATHIR PURPOSELY LEFT OUT KHALID becos people will ask where is khalid? Remember, there were 4 tan sris formed to investigate????? Thats the wisdom of old man.
6. Now the market is saying the BETRAYER is khalid....
I must qualify my statement that i am no fan of mahathir and i am an east malaysian. But he has wisdom, inspite of being despisef and condemened by najib's henchmen.
Wallahuaklam
Well said, bro. Agree with a lot of what you said.
PadamI have not been a fan of Mahathir but things have become so bad since Tun Dol's time, and especially during Ah Jib Gor's time, that Mahathir has appeared as a hero.
I now really wish that Najib goes ASAP.
3.30, 4.49...
Padamsendiri tulis sendiri puji nampak...
he he..
This Jing Jibo must really be a sick bastard. He can't even type 303 properly. He ought to be shot for being a menace in this blog endlessly.
Padam4.58,

4.49...can u introduce yrself, please.
Najib's supporters are really weird. They lack argumentative skills
The DoJ"s six-year-old Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative, set up to combat corruption and money laundering.
BalasPadamWhat a coincidence. Najib's Kleptocracy is also six year old.
Th DOJ should really bring Najib to court in US after the MO1 has been fully identified. They did to Ukrainian President Lazarenko in 2014 for a much less amount of misappropriation of Ukranian funds and money laundering in US.
“Unfortunately and tragically, a number of corrupt officials treated
BalasPadamthis public trust as a personal bank account,” Attorney General
Loretta Lynch.
Well said. The biggest culprit is Malaysian Official 1. Everybody concerned thinks that it's Najib.
The rest are 1MDB "officials". But doubt that Reza Aziz was one. He had nothing to do with 1MDB at all, a mere recipient of funds presumably for and on behalf of Najib and Rosmah. What utter crookedness.
Ooooooo Reza Aziz controlled a shell company buying properties worth $33.5 million at the Park Laurel near Lincoln Center.
BalasPadamIn that case, yes, he may be considered as an 1MDB official as well. Good that his assets are being seized by DoJ. Hopefully returned to the Malaysian government via the court action in US by Husam Musa and Mathias Chang, as well in Malaysia by Zaid Ibrahim.
Jordan Belfort, the real-life stockbroker played by DiCaprio, was convicted in 2003 of money laundering and securities fraud.
BalasPadamHope the real life 1MDB criminals will be charged, at a later date, for the misappropriation of 1MDB funds and money laundering stated repeatedly in the DoJ 136 pages report and asset-seizure legal action now brought to the court.
