Dirty money funded the making of a movie about dirty money? And it involves the prime minister of Malaysia? Now all we need is an assassination plot, brainwashing, and Blue Steel.
If you haven't done any reading on the fund behind all of this (1MBD) then you should, its all stuff that sounds like an onion article.<p>It has<p>- ties to the highest level of wall street, with a few very high up people at GS loosing their jobs over this,<p>- the prime minister of a small country,<p>- Cayman islands shell companies<p>- a few hedge funds who have had to be wound down because of this<p>- and now a holly wood connection<p>There are investigations in over 10 countries now due to the activities of this fund. I'm guessing there will be more jail time handed out from this than over the 2008 financial crisis.<p><a href="http://graphics.wsj.com/1mdb-decoded/" rel="nofollow">http://graphics.wsj.com/1mdb-decoded/</a><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1Malaysia_Development_Berhad_scandal" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1Malaysia_Development_Berhad_s...</a>
Staggeringly brazen:<p>>Mr. Al-Husseiny is an American who then headed Aabar Investments PJS, which is an arm of an Abu Dhabi sovereign-wealth fund known as IPIC. The state-owned firms did business with 1MDB. For instance, IPIC guaranteed some of the Malaysian fund’s bonds.<p>>In connection with the IPIC guarantees, 1MDB reported in corporate filings that in 2012, it sent $1.4 billion to Aabar as collateral.<p>>Investigators believe this money never got to Aabar in Abu Dhabi but went instead to a separate, almost identically named company that Mr. Al-Husseiny had helped set up in the British Virgin Islands, called Aabar Investments PJS Ltd., said people familiar with the probes.
