Episode 14: Picking up the Pieces – Recent Developments in the 1MDB scandal

As many of our listeners will know, 1MDB is synonymous with the largest financial fraud of the century, whose tentacles extend across the dark economy from Hollywood stars, complicit bankers and lawyers to Wealthy Arab princes and corrupt political dynasties. This is the story of how one man’s greed fed an ever growing web of deceit, that snowballs into corporate malfeasance and state sponsored corruption on a truly horrific scale. Following on from our earlier podcast in February, Dickon Johnstone, CEO of Themis sat down for another catch up with “Billion Dollar Whale” co-author and Wall Street Journal reporter Bradley Hope, to pick up the pieces and talk about the latest developments in the scandal that just keeps on giving. This podcast is brought to you by Themis with thanks to our partners Encompass.
