    The greatest financial heist - how an unknown guy called Jho Low stole billions of dollars in an audacious financial scam involving Malaysia's investment fund, 1MDB. Jho Low probably had more spending power than anyone else on Earth, since his money wasn't tied up in stocks, real estate or other illiquid assets and investments. Jho Low had cash to spend. And he spent those millions of dollars the same way any of us might dream of: throwing extravagant parties, networking with celebrities and even financing movies like The Wolf of Wall Street (which is kinda ironic a film about a financial scam was financed thanks to a financial scam).
    Jho Low's financial fraud was achieved through shell accounts, tax havens and the use of loopholes and bearer shares. But most importantly, Jho Low become a billionaire because of his networking abilities - he strategically worked his way into the lives of the rich and famous. However, financial fraud like this has very real world repercussions - that money was meant to help the country of Malaysia, and be used in construction products that could have really benefited a lot of people. This is the insane story of Jho Low, and how to get rich fast if you have no morals.

    Money. Power. Status. Jho Low wanted them all, and identified sovereign wealth funds as his opportunity to get rich quick. With some political bribes and the help of Goldman Sachs (and investment banker Tim Leissner), Jho Low become extremely rich very fast. This is the INSANE and controversial story of Jho Low and the 1MDB fund. I hope you enjoy this finance mini-movie from MagnatesMedia! :) #finance #wealth #richlifestyle #documentary #business

    🙏Quick favor… if you enjoy these videos, please can you make sure you’re subscribed and have notifications turned on for this channel? And then I will love you forever. 💖
    Also, this video was a long while in the making, and would not have been possible without our video sponsor, Waves: jo.my/waves_exchange15_37 - a decentralized crypto trading platform with low transaction fees, that’s very easy to get started with, and even lets you earn passive income by staking your crypto.
    Quick warning though: because crypto is mentioned in this video, the spam bots are gonna be out in full force even more than normal. So just as a reminder… I will NEVER reply to a comment asking you to message a number/person with some investment deal. This is a common problem on any finance/business channels with scammers impersonating them and using their logo. But it’s obviously fake. The world is full of mini Jho Low’s looking to steal your money, so stay safe out there. 👍

      You must seek the truth because actually till today there is no concrete proof Najib stole any money but because he become pro-rakyat , then Mahathir gets angry as this affects Mahathir's families and cronies and he work with PH to take power. But the country is destroyed under PH and Mahathir because they dunno how to manage the country or even fulfill their empty promises aka lies. In the end , the kangaroo court (control by Mahathir) put the wrong person in jail just to silent the people. in the end Malaysia lose and ruined and unstable.

If you think a PM will give someone access to billions of dollars without oversight, you're more naive then we give you credit for.
      Remember, even before Najib became PM, as a defense minister, this guy already wasted hundreds of millions or even billions in dead end military purchases that amounted to nothing.
      Corruption, oligarchy, bumiputra policies, Malaysia was already going downhill long before, he just pushed it over the edge and gave the Malaysian people a hard awakening.

    The sad irony of the situation is that if he had actually used this money legitimately, he probably could have ended up an ultra-rich man anyway, but this time from actual payoffs from legitimate businesses AND the Malaysian people wouldn't have been robbed blind.
    He made the choice to go hard and fast instead of a bit slower. I know that he literally has the character flaw of being addicted to attention and massively compensating for being an insecure little shit, but still, he only needed to bide his time for a few years and he still could have made big money. This wasn't just illegal and immoral, it was also stupid.

    Honestly the celebrities showing up and performing for money makes perfect sense and no that doesn't just mean in the sense of being on stage. These are people who's very skillset is performance art you want them to look and act the part and you have the money to pay that is what you get. Most of them probably see it like a short term improv gig. The events were fake so actors and performance artists really are the best sort of talent to hire this is what they do best putting on a show.

    this is the true definition of a sociopath: someone who lies, scams, and does whatever it takes to paint a certain image of themselves. a sociopath is an actor who never stops acting. nowadays the term “sociopath” is thrown around inaccurately at anyone who hurt someone’s feelings, or even confused with a psychopath. but no this man is a true example of a clinical sociopath. they’re not dangerous in the way of harming animals and humans, they are scammers and liars and need to feed their ego constantly

    Belfort not liking Jho Low oddly reminds me of Aizen going against Yhwach in bleach, former villain vs current villain

    It’s intriguing to hear about this guy because wolf of Wall Street is my favorite movie of all time

    Jaw dropping at Jho Low's intelligence but tragically he used it in the wrong way. With such a cunning sharp mind he could have help humanity and enjoy a greater rewards, instead of a short term success that ends in tragedy. So in the end he isn't smart, just plain stupid

    After the fraud was discovered, he changed his name to Lei in order to both avoid detection and to better reflect his current status.
