The Kleptocrats

Overview

Three investigative reporters from major outlets dig into the disappearance of $3.5 billion from a Malaysian sovereign wealth fund. Following a trail of luxury real estate and movie financing, they trace the stolen money straight to the highest levels of the Malaysian government. In a deeply ironic twist, the swindlers used the cash to bankroll the 2014 hit *The Wolf of Wall Street*. Hollywood stars, including Leonardo DiCaprio, attended lavish launch parties hosted by the flamboyant mastermind Jho Low and Riza Aziz, stepson of the prime minister. As the scandal unravels, assets are frozen and the fallout begins.
