1MDB scandal - Challenge the US Attorney General if you are innocent

The consequences of Justo’s leaks are still reverberating around the world. When the US Department of Justice laid out the case against 1MDB last week, it pulled no punches. “The Malaysian people were defrauded on an enormous scale,” said Andrew McCabe, the FBI’s deputy director. US officials told the Guardian that any party who wanted to contest the attorney general’s claim must file a response in a federal court within 60 days to answer the factual allegations. The Guardian 

Loretta Lynch the brave AG

Well the US officials' statement in The Guardian sounds very fair, clear and could easily be understood by a 10 year old kid. Those who are not happy with US attorney general Loretta Lynch could challenge her in a court of law. 

Claims of kleptocracy, money laundering, fraud and implied treason following the US Department of Justice / FBI's joint investigations on 1MDB-linked crimes could be contested in a court of law. 

To begin with Prime Minister Najib Razak, who is the thinly-veiled Malaysian Official 1, should instruct his lawyers to file a response in a federal court (I suppose in the US) within 60 days. 

You can file it on Monday without having to wait for another Tuesday, if you have anything factual to prove that Lynch is wrong.  

I'm sure Najib could seek help from the local Legal Aid Bureau or the Malaysian Bar Council if he feels that his lawyers are not competent enough to stand straight when facing Lynch the US Attorney General.

Malaysian Official 1, if you don't file a response just zip it. We have had enough of your shadow play and outright lies. 

Just to recap below are recordings of Lynch and her fellow investigators press conference during which the 1MDB-linked kleptocracy was unveiled, as the biggest in US history. Listen carefully to the choice of words used to explain the crimes against Malaysia and Malaysians.

Actually Rosmah Mansor's son Riza Aziz and his buddy Jho Low who were named in the DoJ civil suit together with another Arab conman could start filing their response at a federal court in the US if they still happen to be partying in the US. I'm not sure if you could file a response in a US court while drowning your sorrows in a fortified bungalow in KL. No harm trying though.

Riza the stepson

Just remember that Loretta is not Apandi Ali and Apandi Ali is not Loretta. Btw, how many Tuesdays are there in 60 days from the 20th of July?

1MDB: The inside story of the world’s biggest financial scandal

On 22 June 2015, Xavier Justo, a 48-year-old retired Swiss banker, walked towards the front door of his brand new boutique hotel on Koh Samui, a tropical Thai island. He had spent the past three years building the luxurious white-stone complex of chalets and apartments overlooking the shimmering sea and was almost ready to open for business. All he needed was a licence.

Justo had arrived in Thailand four years earlier, having fled the drab world of finance in London. In 2011, he and his girlfriend Laura toured the country on a motorbike and, two years later, they got married on a secluded beach. The couple eventually settled down in Koh Samui, a tourist hotspot, just an hour’s flight south of Bangkok. After trying out a couple of entrepreneurial ventures, Justo eventually decided that he would go into the hotel business. He bought a plot with an imposing house and began building: adding a gym, villas and a tennis court.

The Guardian view on Malaysian politics: a scandal meriting the world’s attention

Editorial: Investigations into the 1MDB development fund and a new security law are both cause for concern

That June afternoon, he was expecting a visit from the tourism authorities to sign off on the paperwork. Instead, a squad of armed Thai police burst through the unlocked door, bundling Justo to the ground. The officers tied their plastic cuffs so tightly around Justo’s wrists that he bled on the dark tiled floor. The police quickly moved into his office, ripping out the computers and emptying the filing cabinets.

After two days in a ramshackle local jail, Justo was flown to Bangkok and paraded before the media, in a press conference befitting a mafia kingpin. Still wearing shorts and flip-flops, he was flanked by four commandos holding machine guns, while a quartet of senior Royal Thai Police officers briefed the assembled reporters on the charges against him.

Justo was charged with an attempt to blackmail his former employer, a little-known London-based oil-services company named PetroSaudi. But behind this seemingly mundane charge lay a much bigger story.

Six months earlier, Justo had handed a British journalist named Clare Rewcastle Brown thousands of documents, including 227,000 emails, from the servers of his former employer, PetroSaudi, which appeared to shed light on the alleged theft of hundreds of millions of dollars from a state-owned Malaysian investment fund known as 1MDB.

The documents that Justo leaked have set off a chain reaction of investigations in at least half a dozen countries, and led to what Loretta Lynch, the US attorney general, described last week as “the largest kleptocracy case” in US history. -

It beats common sense why members of the Malaysian Cabinet are still throwing their little left weight behind a known thief.
