NEW YORK: A high-upkeep love affair, job offers in return for multi-billion dollar deals, code names for fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho and even a possible bribery in the transfer of funds – these were among the revelations made by the star witness in the bribery trial of former Goldman Sachs Group Inc banker Roger Ng.

Ng’s former boss Tim Leissner testified that he had had an affair with a media CEO who later blackmailed him into buying her a US$10mil home in London, according to Bloomberg.
