Dollar Whale: Tom Wright and Bank Accounts

dollar whale: The book Billion Dollar Whale by the Wall Street Journal reporters Bradley Hope and Tom Wright describes how the Malaysian financier Jho Low is accused by the US government of masterminding the theft of billions of dollars from the Malaysian state-owned investment fund 1MDB, which was sent to bank accounts in Switzerland, Singapore and the Virgin Islands, according to The Guardian. It has been widely reported that Low, 36, is facing money-laundering charges in absentia in Malaysia and is the subject of an Interpol red notice. Free speech campaigners said the decision to threaten a book's distributors rather than the publisher or author could be seen as an attempt to short-circuit the legal process around libel law and risks setting a precedent that would intimidate booksellers. Low insists he has not broken any laws, is not guilty of any fraud and is not being investigated. Billion Dollar Whale has received positive reviews in the US, where it is released next week. His lawyers say that the allegations in the book are defamatory and wholly untrue. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
