Jho Low: The Asian Great Gatsby Who Never Got Caught

You probably remember The Wolf of Wall Street, the hit movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio and directed by the legendary Martin Scorsese. The script was based on the true story of Jordan Belfort, a real guy who spent 22 months in prison for stealing millions in a penny stock scheme back in the 90s.But this story is not about Jordan Belfort.This story is about the guy who paid for the entire movie (and a lot of other things), all with billions of dollars he stole from the Malaysian government.In this episode of Truly Unreal, host James Lee Hernandez drops writer and comedian, Justin Michael, into the story of Jho Low, a chubby, awkward kid from a small island in Malaysia who threw the biggest party Vegas has ever seen, manipulated one of the most powerful banks in the world, and quietly became one of the greatest financial criminals in history.This story has everything: a Malaysian prime minister, Paris Hilton, monster trucks, and an ending you really can't make up. Because somehow, this guy stole $4.5 billion, spent billions of it on luxury gifts, super yachts and the most insane parties of all time....and the craziest thing is, he never got caught.
