KUALA LUMPUR, July 19 — Fugitive Malaysian financier Low Taek Jho, better known as Jho Low, has supposedly been located in a luxury neighbourhood in Shanghai, China, where he is said to be living under a false identity and working with entities linked to the Chinese government.
Former Wall Street Journal reporters Bradley Hope and Tom Wright — who broke key details of the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) corruption scandal and co-authored Billion Dollar Whale — claimed that Low is now residing in Green Hills, an exclusive enclave in Shanghai.
The duo made the claims during a live stream titled Finding Jho Low, hosted yesterday by their investigative platform, Project Brazen.
They alleged that Low is using the alias Constantinos Achilles Veis and carrying a fake Australian passport, which allows him to travel within China while concealing his identity.
“Jho Low is now a behind-the-scenes strategist for the Chinese government,” Hope said.
They added that Low’s alleged responsibilities include “helping sanctioned Chinese companies navigate difficulties around the world.”
Low is the alleged mastermind behind the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal, in which at least US$4.5 billion (approximately RM19 billion) was misappropriated from the Malaysian sovereign wealth fund.
The US Department of Justice has previously stated that the stolen funds were used to acquire luxury real estate in the US, a private jet, a superyacht, high-value artworks, and to finance the 2013 film The Wolf of Wall Street.
Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who starred in the film, publicly thanked Low by name during his 2014 Golden Globe Awards acceptance speech.
In 2016, US authorities moved to seize assets linked to the film’s production, alleging it was funded with embezzled Malaysian money.
Low has been on the run since 2015, after international investigations into 1MDB intensified. His whereabouts have remained unknown since, with occasional speculation but no confirmed sightings.
Hope and Wright’s latest claims represent the most detailed account of Low’s location and activities in years.
However, there has been no official confirmation from Chinese or Malaysian authorities at the time of writing.
Is the Albenese Administration involved in this ?

ReplyDeleteGet fatty.
allegations after allegations w/o real substance proofs!

Sampah tulin, aims for eyeballs!
Why must a Chinese looking guy using Latinos named passport to travel within China?
Wakakakaka… fishing for Gullible Guppies to simply Buka Mulut dan Telan Sampah.
Most likely Jho Low has been incorporated into CCP influence operations against Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteFatty knows where the Cacing and Tikus are in Malaysia. Who is anyhow pro-CCP, who can be persuaded to ensure positive decisions towards CCP, and who has skeletons and Kompromat that can be manipulated.
And who may be outright hostile to the CCP...wakakaka.......wakakaka.....and may require serious countermeasure if it becomes necessary ..
CCP has an objective to have most, if not all , of South East Asian countries under strong CCP influence.
Right now , they have just one country , Burma completely under CCP thumb. A few others such as Cambodia and Laos are CCP client states that will mostly follow CCP direction , but still have limited freedom in their ties with other countries.
Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia have strong ties to CCP but still maintain important links to the West. They will not do doing anything that will irritate CCP, but they still preserve national interests that are linked to the West.
Just last week there was a major land army exercise in Perak that involved the Malaysian Army, Australian Army and -shock !- US army.
The Defence Ministry actually put out a statement advising Malaysians not to be alarmed if they encountered American-flagged soldiers and vehicles - they are here on invitation of the Malaysian Government .
Aussies have had strong defence ties with Malaysia going back 7 decades.
A few countries. , such as Singapore and Phillipines, are essentially Washington allies.
Mfer, if u truly understand the in&out of 1MDB, then there is only one supremos - aka pink faced jibby.
DeleteJho Low, despite all his glamours, were playing with the blessing of the pinky fatlady pact.
Jho Low's inner circuit rwere all thus linked closely to that pinky pact.
Now, who's incharge? Where is jibby now, with his diminishing umno influences?
This, all jiiby's connections r now descended valleys, only the blurs would travel.
If ever China needs to influencing anything in bolihland, there r betyer choices. Jho Low's knowledge & connections r equally blocked & useless.
Mfer, go read so REAL espionage fictions to sharpen yr f*cking know-nothingness.
