Sex, bribes, Bank Negara and Najib begging for his children to get jobs at Goldman Sachs were all shocking disclosures for many.

Leissner revealed he had affairs with three Malaysian women, and one of them blackmailed him to buy a $10 million apartment in London.

Following Najib’s loss in elections a month earlier, Rohana resigned from Astro in June 2018, saying that she wants “to pursue other interests.”According to Tim Leissner, a Goldman Sachs middleman in the 1MDB controversy, Najib met with the bank’s ex-global boss Lloyd Blankfein at fugitive Jho Low’s flat and begged him to provide his children employment.

The juicy disclosures in Malaysia’s 1MDB scandal continue to send shockwaves, with Najib scurrying on Wednesday to contradict evidence by the crucial witness. The overnight transfer of US$1 billion from 1MDB to PetroSaudi was “unprecedented,” according to Leissner.
