NEW YORK: Two former Goldman Sachs bankers sought advice from a feng shui master in 2016 on how to handle a U.S. investigation into the looting of funds from Malaysia's 1MDB sovereign wealth fund, one of the bankers, Tim Leissner, testified on Tuesday (Mach 1).
Leissner was the prosecutors' star witness at the Brooklyn federal court trial of Roger Ng, 49, who had pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiring to launder money and violate an anti-bribery law. Leissner, 52, pleaded guilty to similar charges in 2018 and agreed to cooperate with the government.
