: The Finance Ministry on Friday said US investment bank Goldman Sachs has agreed to a US$3.9 billion settlement with the government over the multi-billion dollar 1MDB scandal.
The deal includes a US$2.5 billion cash payout by Goldman and a guarantee by the bank to return at least US$1.4 billion in assets linked to 1MDB bonds, the Ministry said in a statement. Prosecutors filed charges in December 2018 against three Goldman Sachs units for misleading investors over bond sales totalling $6.5 billion that the bank helped raise for sovereign wealth fund 1MDB .
Goldman Sachs has consistently denied wrongdoing, saying that certain members of the former Malaysian government and 1MDB lied to it about how proceeds from the bond sales would be used.The US Department of Justice has said around US$4.5 billion was misappropriated from 1MDB. —
