The book, written by Tom Wright and Bradley Hope, describes how Malaysian Jho Low, whose real name is Low Taek Jho, has been accused by the US government of masterminding the theft of billions of dollars from the Malaysian state-owned investment fund 1MDB, which was sent to bank accounts in Switzerland, Singapore and the Virgin Islands.

The TV series will be co-produced by Beau Willimon, who was involved in the hit political drama House Of Cards.
