LOS ANGELES (Bloomberg): A vintage French "King Kong" poster, a Jean-Michel Basquiat drawing, and several luxury watches are among the latest haul of returned treasures that were allegedly bought with money stolen from the Malaysian 1MDB state fund.

"Wolf of Wall Street" producer Joey McFarland (pic) agreed to hand over the items that he said he received as gifts from Low Taek Jho, the alleged mastermind behind the theft of billions of dollars from the Malaysian fund, and his accomplices, according to a filing Monday (July 15) in Los Angeles federal court.
