NEW YORK/SINGAPORE, Feb 25 (Bloomberg): Former Goldman Sachs Group Inc banker Roger Ng, the only employee of the bank to be tried and convicted over the global 1MDB scandal, asked a US judge not to send him to prison for his role in the epic looting of the Malaysian fund.

Ng’s lawyers said in a filing early Saturday to a federal judge in Brooklyn, New York, that the 50-year-old native of Malaysia has suffered enough, having spent six months in a Malaysian prison and four years alone under house arrest in the US.
