Roger Ng seeks delay to start of 10-year sentence


NEW YORK (Bloomberg): Former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. banker Roger Ng (pic) asked a US judge to delay the start of a 10-year prison sentence for his role in the global 1MDB fraud, saying he needs three months to allow for his wife and young daughter to arrive in New York from Malaysia.

US District Judge Margo Brodie sentenced Ng on March 9 and ordered him to surrender to federal prison officials on May 4. His defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo on Friday asked the court to allow Ng to delay going to prison until August.
