Last year, Leonardo DiCaprio handed over to federal authorities an Oscar once awarded to Marlon Brando, as it was a gift to him from a Malaysian financier that has been arrested on charges of committing fraud against an investment fund to the tune of billions of dollars, and using the funds in the most extravagant way imaginable.
According to a feature report published Sunday byย The New York Times, prosecutors say that arrested financier Jho Low and the former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak were among those who siphoned billions from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), a fund meant to benefit projects that would service the Malaysian public.
