Judge reveals ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ extra among alternate jurors


NEW YORK: The judge in the case of an ex-Goldman Sachs banker involved in the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) scandal revealed that an alternate juror in the case had worked as an extra on the Hollywood movie The Wolf of Wall Street, which was partly funded by cash looted in the scam.

Bloomberg reported that during a break and outside the jury’s presence on Monday, US District Judge Margo Brodie read out loud the alternate juror’s note to her for the prosecutors and defence lawyers of the accused Roger Ng.
