The Billion-Dollar Party: inside the 1MDB fraud

In 2009, Malaysia launched 1MDB as a national development fund meant to fuel growth and prosperity. But just a few years later, it became the centre of one of the biggest financial scandals in history.

Billions of dollars vanished through a web of shell companies, secret deals, luxury assets, and political connections. At the heart of the story were a prime minister, a shadowy fixer, and powerful global banks that helped move the money.
In this episode of Crooks in Suits, Ray — a chartered accountant and CFO across banking and fintech — breaks down how the fraud worked, who was involved, and how the whole scheme finally unravelled.

From yachts and mansions to Hollywood parties and prison sentences, this is the unbelievable story of how a sovereign wealth fund was turned into a billion-dollar theft.
