It's seems kind of stupid to click a link described as "The world's most terrifying spyware", Just saying.
he from malaysia not china you racist
Make a video about how Israel stole Palestine
how much do you pay for this propaganda..
how much do you pay for this propaganda buy anwar
The irony of him stealing money to fund a film about a guy stealing money just makes me chuckle.
He funded what he knew best
Also because Jho Low was desperate to be around major U.S celebrity types.
DiCaprio played him
America is trash
So he got himself whitewashed, "@@worldchangingvideos6253"???
When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
"Many events, including ecological upheavals, wars, the schism in My Church on Earth, the dictatorships in each of your nations - bound as one, at its very core - will all take place at the same time."
"Arab uprising will spark global unrest - Italy will trigger fall out"
The Book of Truth
I wouldn't have wanted The Wolf of Wall Street to be funded any other way.
@Human Rights wtf
How ironic 🤣
😂😂😂
I bet Scorcese and DiCaprio heard the rumors and thought the exact same thing
Makes the movie even better.. 😀
As a Malaysian, im so happy that this is still being talked about years after. Corruption and nepotism is so real in this country.
Indonesiaa too
Thoughts on najib?
India too
Only foreign media are talking about it still. The Malaysian media and government seems to have stopped reporting and investigating. And how the hell is Najib not in jail, and even in politics still? What a crazy country.
Are the authorities still trying to catch the criminal, Jho Low? I find it pretty slack.
As a kid he grew up around the wealthy... crazy to think that feelings of envy at such a young age can shape the course of one's life so dramatically
We are products of our environment 💯
It may not be envy every time. Sometimes hanging around rich people shapes your mentality. It makes a person think the way Rich people do, conduct bussiness like the rich. And most of the time end up doing deals that earn them millions. I know many people like that personally.
It’s the same way people growing up in gang run areas see these guys with tons of cash compared to the working class and are envied leading to kids getting involved. They really aren’t that different it’s just violent crime and drug sales vs white collar crime
There was a good article that pointed to the fact the school he attended was also compromised of kids of corrupt business families such as the Trumps so it was just a breeding ground of white collar criminally minded young men and women. It was almost as if he had landed in a cell of Enron executives in Federal prison except it was a business school compromised of wealthy children who had grown up watching how their parents got rich through questionable practices aka white collar crime.
He just realized it means nothing, he didn’t have the cover of actually being in those families
The perfect way to make a movie about a guy who stole millions on Wall Street is to have it financed by a guy who stole millions from Wall Street.
Jho Low didn't steal from Wall Street. He stole from the sovereign wealth fund of Malaysia.
That said, the actual Jordon Belfort knew the movie was a scam at the casting party for the movie.
@@Praisethesunson and the video makes it out to be like BILLIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONS with lots of SSSSSSSSSSSS but it was only 4bil. goldman's sack got bigger fraud happening each day lmfao
You are talking about wall street, filled with scammers and crooks. Serves them right.
@@MrPaxio The main difference is that this Goldman sach fraud actually punished Goldman
@@MrPaxio it was a terrible exchange for Goldman lol. They took in $600M from Jho and ended up paying multi billion to the Malaysian government 😂
A fraudster stole a 100 million dollars through fraud, to make a movie about a fraudster who stole more than a 100 million dollars through fraud. That's gotta be an instant classic.
What's wild is that the movie ended up being about the most legit thing that they did with the sov wealth fund. They put loads of money in and got more money back out.
I also think he wasn't actually the absolute only person, he was just the one who at the end had the least political connections and no one to cover up for him.
Belfort ponzied like 230 Million dollars not just 100 M
@@letsburn00 i know for a fact he wasn't the only one and he was the unlucky one getting caught. I've heard it from other men that actually did so at that time. Eventually the sec just needed a head to show.

Mistake that was made; Jo saw power as him being known, while his power would’ve been greater if he was unknown

exactly! why. be rich and popular, when you can be rich without being popular and a well known public figure.
He sold the idea to those who has greater power and share his ambitions. He was given the key by the great one to open the doors to 'heaven' 🤑

@@VuTron30 Role Models, great film.
The fact that the Wolf of Wallstreet was made with fraudulent money is just hilarious.
I love Malaysia, as a foreigner who lived two years there. However corruption there is somewhat truly disappointing, as to how it is sometimes overlooked by its own parliament. Hopefully, the country can be economically strong soon.
Thanks for novelty. but i'm not being positive about the word 'soon'. Have a nice day. XD
Corruption and Nepotism existed way before Najib in many countries everywhere. I’m laughing because everyone seems to be in shock and don’t want to face the music that this is part and parcel of politics. Corruption in Malaysia is honestly not as “expensive” in other countries. KSA asks for bribes in the hundreds of thousands- they just don’t talk about it. Here it’s “RM10 for my pocket money.”
People pay taxes here, and some races are not happy. They can pay taxes in Europe- no complaint (white worshippers) but not in a Muslim country - it’s considered “stealing their money.”
Now, I’m laughing back at the failed GE and knew it was gonna happen.
Oh, boohoo if no one can face the reality of how politics work. Idiots are idiots if they think that the PM makes sole decisions- (oops, the 4th PM did for his own advantage ) but a shocker? Hell NO!!
They couldn’t care less , all they are waiting for is their turn to be in that position so they can profit them selves , like any other politician in any other country . Left or right doesn’t matter , they are there for for 2 things MONEY and POWER
Parliament is the wrong place u put your hope in
Poor conduct of ethics won't make a country economically strong
The fact that the corrupt politicians in Malaysia can still walk freely and campaigning political elections without any punishment killed me inside
So just like the US then?

As a Malaysian... this the biggest heist in the world. I'm ashamed of what our PM did to our beloved Malaysia.
Someone has to pay for this either Jho Low or najib himself.
Both them altogether
the parmacys created a virus using your tax money, released it and developed a vaccine... with your tax money. Forced your country to buy it and forced you to take it.... and they willl never pay any taxes.... this article is a distraction.

More like around $8 Billion were stolen
when you have that much money and you have connection in china, u are set for live. This dude will not go anywhere out of china
They were way more people involved in this that are pleading that they were duped and had no clue.

Nah, its a part of sucsess.
Ya it's amazing
public hanging
Growing up is realizing that rich people get rich not by pulling up their bootstraps, but by clipping the strap and stealing the boot.
A person acquiring money from their job, typically will know how much they'll be financially earning!
Or know the specific number of hours they'll need to work, to earn the figure that's of interest.
Rich people know the average person's lifestyle and the specific route they chose for earning financially, doesn't buy them multiple holidays every year! Don't have the resources to drive the fastest cars, live in the most luxurious homes and dine at the finest of restaurants!
So this then makes it easy for the rich people to avoid the choices of average people and pursue routes that provide a luxurious lifestyle!
its incredibly depressing because you also realize you, the worker, aren't getting paid enough to survive
For real tho…i really learned that
Can't get rich by working anymore anyway.
Commies in this thread
Mr. Najib is still walking around Malaysia as a free man, campaigning for UMNO. Nice
He is Bossku. Malay people still loves him...a lot
Wtf?!?! Even if he's appealing he should be in prison!!! F**k I was honestly happy when it said 12 years, but of course the rich & powerful NEVER serve their time, and flaunt their immunity. People of the earth need to charge into their houses and reclaim everything. I'd even go so far as the execute the ones who blatantly escape justice like that. After a few heads start rolling I'd imagine they'd start walking the same line as the rest of us
Bossku and his wife recently got his passport back to travel outside Malaysia even the court case still ongoing. In Malaysia if your are powerful and corrupt politicians under BN and PN your can do anything by manipulate the system.This is the Boleh Land has becoming a laughing stock for the world.

We're so lucky and grateful when people like Tom and Bradley find each other. Thanks you guys for this great report!
should really emphasize that najib is currently walking free
So sad that non of any corrupted politicians got arrested like Najib or Jho low, najib use money to buy times and Jho low literally rolled into the abyss with his fat belly and have since never been seen.
that's why there is no such thing as karma...i am sure jho low & jibby are relaxing and enjoying comparing to most citizens throughout the covid pandemic
Excuse me, what?! That is pretty shocking…
Najib must have powerful back-up or connection, i bet this is not only about najib or JL. Other politicians might be involved thats why they keep it hush.

The Wolf of Wall Street was funded with stolen money? LOLOLOL I am screaming.

Yep. Jho Low literally used to stolen money to fund a stupid movie about stolen money.
Fun fact. If you go buy that movie today. The profits from that sale go to the U.S government to give to the Malaysian government to try and recover some of the money Jho Low stole.
@@Praisethesunson stupid movie? You live under a rock?
Naive kid :)
It is a pretty stupid movie tho. Seems to be big amongst fanboy types who simp for the caricature of Jordan, who was nothing like the character in the movie. Scorcese did it before with Goodfellas: it made Henry Hill look like a bigshot when in reality he was just a pathetic addict (not judging addicts), wannabe gangster and, of course, total rat. Being played by Ray Liotta in this glamorous flick was worlds apart from the reality, all based on a book which was sensationalized in itself in order to make Henry Hill seem bigger than he was. Same with WoWS - based on a book by a guy who exaggerated, bended the truth and even made stuff up to make himself appear a lot more interesting, dynamic and audacious than he really was. The problem with Scorcese is that he indulges these people and takes their stories at face value, rather than looking into the stories and the characters that they're based on more objectively. They're fun films but dumb - they feed the ego of those behind the subject matter and fool gullible audience members (mostly young, ambitious men and often very insecure) into thinking that 1) that kind of life is attainable (if even actually remotely realistic) and 2) that these people and their lifestyles are something to emulate. I was into Goodfellas when I was a 14 year old wannabe gangster and I remember seeing Henry Hill on Howard Stern. He and his wife were literally begging for a drink, which they were promised by Stern's staff and, Stern being who he is tortured them with it for a bit and made them wait. It shone a light on who this guy really was - far away from the character portrayed by Ray Liotta. Anyway, we all know that Hollywood is make-believe, aspirational nonsense for people who live mundane lives anyway, right? Its like a form of pornography but, instead of jacking it over simulated sex, you are mentally jacking it over a lifestyle that is 1) either grossly exaggerated or outright fake and 2) completely unattainable, just like pornography of course! However, a realistic, gritty portrayal of the reality of Henry Hill and his miserable existence wouldn't do well at the box office, would it? Although I would love to see that, personally.
Hilarious
"A Chinese businessman called Jho Low" He's a Malaysian citizen, but racially Chinese. Important distinction.

And yet the average person couldn’t steal a bag of chips from 7/11 without being arrested..
yep, that's how our world works nowadays
Saw John Oliver’s 4th episode on the Sackler clan & the opioid crisis and it truly boggles the mind how there are people doing years of prison for being caught with weed while these billionaire barons have done everything they could to drive tens of *millions* of people into a cycle of increasing use of opioid drugs. They funded research, they influenced the FDA, they bribed the doctors, they manipulated public perception, they did everything with the clearest possible intent. And now after everything came into the open their "punishment" is a sick joke. czcams.com/video/uaCaIhfETsM/video.html
stealing a billion dollars or a bag of chips is also thief. oke. even if you steal a small amount of money you are still a thief.
you steal a bag of chips. the shopkeepers still lost money. so of course if you stole his/her bag of chips you would be arrested .

@@stronk8107 Selfishness, greed and dishonesty.
Malaysia needs a reboot, from law enforcement to the judicial system to politicians. Young Malaysians need to get into politics, otherwise it will probably continue with the same corrupt individuals and their families.
Malaysia has it all, from its geographical location, the Straits of Melacca to its mineral resources and culture, corruption is preventing any progress. From my observation, corruption seems to be normal in Malaysian society with people joking about the police putting up roadblocks to collect money, for example during Deepavali. People would be furious if that happened in Central Europe for example.

I believe those who were in Jho Low's inner circle at that time should be equally held accountable for their connection with the man. I remember seeing on the news that Australian super model Miranda Kerr had to return the jewelries gifted to her by Low, it was reported Kerr cried when she was forced to hand over the million dollars worth of jewelries - which got me thinking! The guy just did a massive op of money laundering which possibly entails that some of his investors trusted their retirement money to this bloke IF NOT they're life's savings on his supposed iron-clad investments... And here's this $1M contract model balling her eyes out refusing to return something materialistic (a gift attained from illegal embezzlement, no less)... like what the f¡! They are enablers to these kind of frauds, they do not question nor do a little research on the man/woman they are acquainting themselves with. We should be aware that there's big difference between attending a party hosted by these fraudulent individuals and actually being part of their inner circles of friends, lovers and colleagues so its fair to say celebrities and businessmen are just acquainting themselves with these people to keep up their impressive resume. But my gosh, the VS model with multi-million dollar earnings yearly making a big fuss out of a freaking diamond collections being then fully aware whose money Jho Low was brazenly wasting inexcusably is beyond comprehension. :-\
Well… most of those he used as a leverage to move money around are in places where this is the norm and legal implication is close to zero.
One of those people happen to be the UAE ambassador to the US. Guy took close to $100M to assist Jho Low yet he is not facing any known legal repercussion. Meanwhile, he is buying multiple high end properties around Washington DC and NYC 😂.
I don’t know why Miranda Kerr would cry over this tbh. She’s literally married to a multi-billionaire
@@yeee33333 Yeah, and she herself was undoubtedly already a multi-millionaire when she married. Smh... never enough, I guess.
Most people aren't curious how wealthy people obtained their wealth. Jho was a "money guy" and that's where people's interest in him began and ended. There's tons of fraudsters in every major financial hub and most of them don't get caught because they're either a) not blatantly obvious or b) no one's bothered to investigate them. This guy took it to the next level.

Tom Wright came to speak in my school and it really intrigued me to look into this more as someone who is passionate in following a business major.
30mil USD was actually the amount of cash seized from the ex prime minister apartment, not counting the jewelries, and it has seen returned to the ex PM, because reasons :)
The Fed's took away 7 million diamond ring from Miranda Kerr. That's not right, give her ring back. She worked her ass off for the diamonds, Literally her ass!!
Just to let others know that Najib even though he is "sentences" 12 years to prison, for some reason he is still free in Malaysia and not in prison yet.
It's almost like Malaysia is super corrupt.
12 years seems so short for what he did, he should be sentenced for 30-40 years!! Drug user get heavier sentence but this dude only 12 years? Wow
Yeah because he got support of people also, during his time as Malaysia Prime Minister, he like to give Malaysian money by create all this "politic support" like BRIM
It is rules for thee, not for me, kind of deal

I was a foreign student in Malaysia 2010-2014. Wonderful people. I was always surprised by how much marketing was done for 1MDB back then.
@Khartikeyen Satheraman but you had it for awhile.
I don't understand why they can't arrest him, when substantial evidences build against him?
He’s in China. Why would China extradite someone to a country with which China is not friendly?
He paid his way out . How much money do you think the judges prison wardens make a year?
@@strawberry7799a When there is a global scandal, and you dig deep enough, you're bound to find the Chinese behind it... 7:33
The Chinese authorities won't take foreign police seriously unless there's an exchange of prisoner held in their country
It really takes big brains to pull something like this off. I can’t comprehend how he actually did it but godam props to him.
If anyone wants a longer video about this scandal, Netflix has an episode dedicated to this on their docuseries Dirty Money.
Oh, thanks for the rec 👍
yo lo , his name matches to his actions lmao
😆 LMAO 🤣
im a malaysian and i just wanna say, that sadly najib and his kleptocratic party is gov once again, truly a great day to woke up as a malaysian
It is always an embarrassment being a malaysian to you guys, yet you stayed and offend every citizen who truly loves this country. Immigration isn't illegal in malaysia and it only cost rm20 to have your citizenship stripped off your benighted self. Have a great life in a country you can truly be proud of. I, for one, just don't want you here anymore.
@@azazurahabdullah5995 it's not the country which is bad it's the people who vote for idiots like Najib and his party
wtf!!!!
@@christinalaw3375 bumi agenda is a joke, decades of implementation and malays are still crawling to live a decent life
@@azazurahabdullah5995 next time, try to differentiate between hating my country and hating the government, I would die for Malaysia, but I will never tolerate robbers who disguised themselves under the name of my race religion while robbing billions from the same race he claimed to protect, by hating robbers like these I'm doing my service tot he country
A movie about fraud funded by fraud, I love it.
The world needs more like you *TUFLIJAA* . If we had many others like you, we could stamp out these total loss in no time. I admire that youre helping the victims, too Its ultra gratifying when you are able to save people in real time Like you do Im g
So, the movie, Wolf of Wall Street, about a thief, was make with money provided by a thief.
How ironic!
They were the new wolf of wall street 😂

Good call
📌📌📌
How can you not interview DiCaprio or Scorsese for this story!?
This is so crazy that they need to make a movie out of this story..Wouldn’t be surprised if Jho Low funded that too
Bloody hell this is the first I have heard of this crime. I think I'll get the book and enjoy a weekend reading it. Thanks
It's wild. As much as we know the West has corrupt politicians, it's nowhere near the levels of these countries.
The non European West is moving in this direction though. Huge chunks of the population who don't care that "their side" is corrupt as all hell.
At the same time, we the voters can remove these scum. It's simply our lack of will to do it, since the media is 90% pushing us to a "let elites take control" attitude. Whether it's CNBC, Fox News or OAN. They all work for elites. Its just like middle ages dukes, fighting wars against each other, when really they are all on the same side.
@@letsburn00 hello, I would say what you wrote was true one time about removing the scum but now I'm not sure it's possible. The way the GOP have changed the laws and rules to bend in their favor kind of makes it seem impossible. I fear for the USA now b/c nothing that comes out of it is real. Brainwashing people into believing a election was stolen was one thing but to not take a vac to save your life? Well that is a whole other messed up thing that affects others lives. It's all hate and anger raging now. Feels like everyone fell down that rabbit hole.
Al Jazeera has a good documentation about this topic
They always had good documentation. Its just malaysian who always hate when others talk bad about their countries even if its the truth just like that covid 19 immigrant case

Why don’t you watch them ?

The Hollywood stars and international celebrities who partied with and took gifts from him like Paris Hilton, Leonardo Dicaprio, Miranda Kerr, Psy should be cancelled.
Gotta admit, it takes quite some intelligence and wittyness to pull off a scheme of such magnitude!
This is the type of guy who when sitting in an interrogation room, the first thing he would say is....
"In a moment, someone is going to knock at the door..."
Crazy how cheaters and thieves always get ahead 🤷🏼♂️
Seriously. His scheme of pretending to be an important rich person and using that to get close to people reminds me of Simon Monjack (the late Brittany Murphy’s late husband). People like that are just the lowest of the low.
These things are too short. I want more details!
That ful edit for a sentence got me
They still haven't found him yet. I thought how hard it is to find a whale on dry land?

Someone need to make a movie about this dude
Lemme steal some millions from wall street first, and I'll finance it
that's the true catch-me-if-you-can character.
This is absolute STONKS
As a malaysian , i'm ashamed because my country got recognized by other for biggest corruption in the world.. Sadly the mastermind 1MO still free as a bird.
You are also famous for hiding traitor
We hear your frustration hun.....🤬🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸!
Perhaps we will see / hear some individuals that need to be seen and heard from.
God willing, we can hold hope.

It's so disappointing that the Malaysian authorities have forgotten about this and have been focusing on capturing a Malaysian transgender who has ran to Australia (and has also been granted asylum). Like they're literally begging for her (Sajat) to come back to Malaysia so they can 're-educate' her. The fucking priority, man.
😂😂
Sad how these people spend so much money and yet the own country is so poor
I always curious why Najib isn't being locked down since there are a binding judgement from the judge? Can someone explain?
Might give malays a bad name.
Its because of his father. Abdul Razak Hussein.
@@NH-ib1lv I am sorry, but is it possible to interrupt court verdict or bail someone out from jail according to Malaysia rule?

This story is told really poorly. I get the general idea but they should really include definitions for lots of terms and infographics to show the connection between different ppl, etc.
perhaps it was condensed for brevity?
They are promoting their book
You’re watching a free video. For good quality content, you gotta go outside CZcams. CZcams don’t pay jack

So low he went under the radar
Nice job with this Vice
At the very least, I now grasp the concept of leverage.
Creating wealth and financial freedom isn't as tough as many people believe. Building wealth and remaining financially stable indefinitely is a lot easier with the appropriate information. Participating in financial programs and products is the only true approach to make a high income and remain affluent indefinitely..
Most people simply enter the foreign exchange market without comprehending matters like this. The first stage in building money is determining your goals and risk tolerance, which you may do on your own or with the assistance of a financial counselor who works with a verified Finance agency. And also you can learn the facts about saving and investing and create a clear plan, you should be able to acquire financial security over time and enjoy the benefits of income management.
That is why I work with John Desmond Heppolette, who introduced me to a better Financial community, a verified agency where I learned how money works and how to create it, as well as free books, courses, and daily lectures. You also get to meet new people, which was the best decision I ever made.
Yeah, that guy is one asset manager that gives the breakdown of everything on how things are done, joining an effective financial community can be 100% beneficial when joined properly that's all I can say out of experience
Thank you so much for the advice. Your coach was simple to discover online. I did my research on him before I scheduled our phone call. He appears knowledgeable based on his online resume.
I curiously made a research of his full names after reading what you shared, I came across his webpage on-line. My portfolio suffered a big hit, holding it further won't be any good. I've heard of people netting hundreds of thousands this red season I'm really glad to see this...
Man, what a life that must be..

Ironically, Najib has cashed in on the pandemic and rebranded himself as “the voice of the people” on social media. Now he’s more popular than ever and even gained the endearing nickname “bossku”, meaning “my boss” among followers
You know they're being sarcastic with that bossku nickname, right..
Takkan tak faham sarcasm
