This is the fascinating story of how Jho Low, young Malaysian
businessman educated in Harrow formed one of the most notorious
and lucrative business partnerships with the Malaysian Prime
minister and they syphoned off a jaw dropping $4.5 billion

It’s the story of how Jho Low and his friends spent their ill
gotten gains by splashing out on parties, multi-million dollar
properties, jewellery, art as well as financing Hollywood movies-
1 movie in particular that you’ll definitely know.

And it’s a story of Malaysia and the endemic corruption that
emanates from the very top- a prime minister who not only
brazenly lootes the national coffers but who is also the main
suspect in the grisly murder of a young woman.

This episode was recorded in April 2023, and even now in April
2024 there are still some court cases going on related to
1MDB because this is a business scandal that’s going to be with
us for many more years- It’s a really fascinating story and we
hope you enjoy it.
