US Securities Commission Bans Tim Leissner And Names Najib Razak For Receiving Bribes
The headline is no exaggeration for the Summary Order includes this paragraph:
Leissner and others instead planned and executed a scheme to misappropriate more than $2.7 billion and distribute the money as bribes and kickbacks to government officials in Malaysia and Abu Dhabi, including but not limited to Najib Razak.
While the US court order has only just been handed down the matter of Najob Razak's and the theft from the Malaysian sovereign wealth fund has been in the news since 2015; quite apart from media reports the US Department of Justice has been seizing assets related to the theft since mid 2015.
Najib Razak's private banking accounts at Malaysia's AMBank, which has been under the effective control of Melbourne's ANZ since 2007, was identified as "Ground Zero" of the theft by the DOJ,and the matter publicised widely by among others the Wall Street Journal.
All of that has been ignored by the Government of New South Wales when it made the decision (which surprised many. Meanwhile, the NSW Attorney General's Chambers and his Department Of Justice have still not explained why they believe stories by even ABC Four Corners about the 1MDB theft are mere fabrication.
