But the part that has completely blown my mind, ... Jho Lo is a fugitive!
Federal law enforcement in this country has become a total laughing stock. High profile arrests/pleas for process crimes and 7-day sentences after multi-million dollar investigations, and then this.
Where was Treasury? Where was FinCEN? Where were the Feds?
To say nothing of the apparently hundreds of people implicated in receiving stolen property. If you receive gifts worth millions of dollars which was stolen money, I mean are they even trying to claw back any of these millions from the “stars” he lavished?
To say nothing of the investors who actually bought the bonds of the now bankrupt fund?
“A billion here, a billion there, eventually you’re talking about real money.”
This guy is a financial terrorist. If you can’t extradite him, legally designate him an enemy combatant and take him out with a Hellfire.

They did: > Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr has turned over jewelry worth $8.1 million to the U.S. Department of Justice that she received from an ex-boyfriend, Malaysian businessman Low Taek Jho, in 2014. > Leonardo DiCaprio has already turned over a Picasso painting worth $3.2 million that he received as a birthday gift from Low as well as a Jean-Michel Basquiat collage valued at $9 million, both of which were listed in the June court filing. https://eu.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2017/06/27/miranda-kerr-returns-8-million-in-jewels-ex-boyfriend-low-taek-jho-bought-with-malaysian-government-funds/103224860/ https://eu.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2017/06/27/miranda...
- zaroth 8y agoWell I guess it’s a start. Now how about the rights and royalties for the movie? IMO, they should be charged as co-conspirators in the fraud.
- Twirrim 8y agoHow, exactly, were they to know the gifts were purchased using fraudulent money? At the time they would have received those gifts, Jho Low was believed by most of the world to just be an extremely successful businessman.

- conanbatt 8y agoIf you couldnt take laundered money you cannot take any money in the world.
- 21 8y ago> Now how about the rights and royalties for the movie If you would have bother to read the article you'd have seen they also did that: > Last year, the Department of Justice moved to seize the rights to the Oscar-nominated film and recover royalties and proceeds from the film.
- zaroth 8y agoApologies. I started reading, realized I had no idea what this story was about and ended up reading the background story linked by empath75. By that point I was fuming and back here writing my comment. RTFA fail.

- wiz21c 8y agoIf I read the article well : >>> This guy is a financial terrorist. This is not a guy, it's a system.
- _cs2017_ 8y agoIf you want to execute people for stealing money, you will find many people who think you a greater evil than the thief. I don't care either way, but surely you are aware that in the Western world execution is considered highly inappropriate for non violent crimes?
