This is sounding ominously familiar considering what is going on a hemisphere away right now.
One of the main embezzlers, and leader of the country, dismissed everyone who tried to investigate him. Only a few years ago was the investigation resumed in earnest.
We kicked him out of office a few years ago, then prosecuted his ass and jailed him. Happy ending? Not quite. His political party is permanently on the verge of freeing him, and there’s a non zero chance he’ll be PM again at some point in future. Malaysian politics are a ride.
Gee I wonder why Trump wants an easily raidable piggybank that has been demonstrated to be raidable by a government’s leaders.
There’s also demonstrated links between Malaysia’s ex-PM and Trump’s white house (attempted bribery to drop US prosecution of him and his family, $100ks spent at Mar a Lago)
