1MDB

I'm Singaporean as well.

What does she do? So she made friends with Claire Brown, who is the 1MDB journalist.

Right.

And Claire said she knows that the Financial Times has been trying to expose Wirecard for the last five years and getting nowhere.

Everybody felt like they needed to be part of Berset.

Everybody felt that, oh, okay, there's this big project that we are part of and that project is either clean and fair elections or, you know, the 1MDB corruption or, you know, bringing down the grand old party and so on and so forth.

And I even remember even before the 2018 election, right? So this 2013 was my first year in college and...

During the 2013 election, so many people were glued to their laptops analysing election results.

And what is so amazing about this Trump grift that we're living through is it's literally like – the U.S. government is now like a party to that.

Like to the most corrupt, I mean, Venezuela, a DRC mine, like Turkish sons-in-law, you know, like there's all the, like this is, it touches, I keep waiting for some connection back to like, you know, 1MDB in Malaysia or something, you know, like this is just like this circular connection you know, like arteries of corruption in the global economy that like the most powerful people in the United States are just now like diving headfirst into them, you know? And every time I see one of these stories, I'm like, this is what we know about.

You know, like these are the ones that are just like coming to our attention.

Like, can you imagine like how much of this there is? I mean, because it also suggested the Kennedy Center, R.E., piece of this is kind of interesting, too, because like Rick Grinnell was ostensibly in charge of the Kennedy Center while he was also like a Venezuelan envoy.

We have many or more issues to discuss in Malaysia Where you see the continuing Najib Razak crisis and debates over former Prime Minister Najib.

He lost his bid to suspend his 15-year 1MDB sentence on medical grounds.

But there are questions involving whether or not he will be able to go home without paying his 50 million fine.

These are things that are ongoing.

So it's a very heavy burden at 14 years old, you know? Now she's a bit older.

I'm recounting the story, right? So these are the practical difficulties that if you don't think about it, right? If you're someone who is from a family that is overreaching, okay? Why would the child of an ultra-rich want to do you a favor unless you're doing something for them? Like Joe Lau, right? Joe Lau, 1MDB, right? He was organizing parties for them.

He was getting girls for them.

You know, getting...

Those PEPs included Genaro Garcia Luna, a former Mexican security minister who bought millions of dollars of U.S. property while accused of taking bribes from the Sinaloa cartel.

And the stepson of former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, who was arrested in 2019 for his alleged role in the 1MDB scandal.

So, you know, it's no big deal, right? You have operators for the cartel, people who are in bed with Sinaloa.

No problem.
