Goldman Sachs had just opened business in Malaysia and Leissner had been introduced to Jho Low by Roger Ng. Leissner’s own association with the ‘PetroSaudi boys’ has been well documented by, for example, the book about Jho Low, Billion Dollar Whale. By the following month Goldman Sachs had smoothly obtained its own licences to raise bonds directly in Malaysia. Najib repeatedly justified 1MDB’s financial activities by referring to the stellar reputation of the international bank advising his fund, Goldman Sachs. If so, forget the fugitive Jho Low.
