Roger Ng to finally face trial over 1MDB

NEW YORK: It’s been nearly three years since Roger Ng (pic), a former Goldman Sachs Group Inc banker, landed in the United States from South-East Asia to face federal charges over his alleged role in a scheme to loot billions from 1Malaysia Development Bhd.

Now, at long last, he is about to get his day in court – as the only person in all of Goldman Sachs to stand trial in the United States for a scandal that stretched from Singapore to Hollywood to Wall Street and beyond.
