Prakazrel ‘Pras’ Michel was convicted in 2023 after a trial that included testimony from Leonardo DiCaprio and former US attorney general Jeff Sessions.
In the early 2010s, Low - now a fugitive believed to be hiding in China - used billions of dollars stolen from a Malaysian state investment fund known as 1MDB to invest in luxury US real estate, fine art and Hollywood films such as DiCaprio’s The Wolf of Wall Street.

FIRST OF ALL, sorry for not posting the full article, next time I will.
SECONDLY, sorry for just cut pasting one passage extra in there for confusion.
THIRDLY, you know, I had a LOT of questions myself. It says for instance that he, I don’t know, laundered money through charity or whatever- as far as I can understand there’s this dude Leo? Low. Low is the big time scammer, and as far as I can understand, Pras was a middle man or “goalie” as we call it where I’m from. You know what I mean? But this is just pure speculation. I just thought it was really weird that The Guardian went with the title “Big Time Rockstar Funded Obama Campaign” rather than “Scammy Scumbag Has Scammy Friends Doing Scammy Shit” you know what I’m saying?
But that’s just me, your guess is as good as mine.
