    Low can speak Malay, English, Cantonese, Hokkien, and Teochew.[16]

    Career

    Low's first major deal was the Kuwait Finance House's purchase for US$87&#;million of a luxury high-rise apartment building in Kuala Lumpur.[15] According to The New York Times, "By , Low had formed an investment group that included a Malaysian prince, a Kuwaiti sheikh and a friend from the United Arab Emirates who went on to become ambassador to the United States and Mexico, and is now one of the most powerful right hand persons for the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi."[23] By , Low had consolidated his fortune into Jynwel Capital, of which Low was the principal steward.[15]

    As steward of Jynwel, Low cultivated relationships with some of the world's largest and most reputable sovereign wealth funds, including Abu Dhabi's Mubadala Investment Company and the Kuwait Investment Authority.[27] Jynwel is connected with deals including the acquisition of New York's Park Lane Hotel for US$&#;million in with The Witkoff Group and Mubadala; the takeover of Coastal Energy in for US$&#;billion; and the buyout of EMI's music publishing business in for US$&#;billion with the Blackstone Group, Sony Corporation and Mubadala.[28] Low was the architect for Jynwel Capital's unsuccessful US$&#;billion bid to buy Reebok from Adidas AG in October [29]

    Low supported Aziz in the establishment of Red Granite Pictures, a Hollywood production company responsible for films including Wolf of Wall Street and Dumb and Dumber To.[30] Recovery of the rights in both movies was the subject of actions for recovery by the US Government in and [31] The claims were settled in August , with the settlement stipulating that the payment should not be construed as "an admission of wrongdoing or liability on the part of Red Granite".[32]

    In , US authorities pursuing Low described him as a financial intermediary, which allowed him to use his connections to high net worth individuals and international institutions to launder the money stolen through manipulation of the 1Malaysia Development Berhad.[33]

    Although earlier in his career Low had often claimed to be investing and making purchases on behalf of other investors or "friends" to maintain a low profile about his family's wealth, in Low said that his family had considerable independent means.[23][19] While a The New York Times article suggested that his family was of "somewhat deflated affluence,"[23] a The Wall Street Journal profile had called him a "scion."[34]

    Legal issues and controversies

    Main article: 1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal

    1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal

    Najib Razak became Prime Minister of Malaysia in Soon, he became president of the board of advisers for 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), a Malaysian sovereign wealth fund.

    Although Low never received an official position, he admits that he occasionally "consulted" with 1MDB, and was involved in a number of transactions connecting his own interests with those of 1MDB, which he claimed were "arms-length and legally sound."[23][35]

    The Wall Street Journal has reported that a $&#;million condominium in Manhattan was owned by a shell company under control of Low's family trust, and then was sold and transferred to a shell company controlled by Najib's stepson.[36] Another home in Beverly Hills, California, "known as the pyramid house for a gold pyramid in its garden", was owned by a shell company controlled by the Low family trust, and was sold and transferred to Najib's stepson by transferring shares of the shell company to him.[36]

    In October , Interpol published a red notice at Singapore's request to locate and arrest Low in an investigation related to 1MDB fund flows within its jurisdiction.[37] The request for assistance to provisionally arrest Low was sent to the Hong Kong Department of Justice in April , according to a representative for Singapore's police, but the request was rejected by the Hong Kong authorities.[38]

    After the Malaysian general election in , new Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad re-opened the extensive investigations into the 1MDB matter and, despite prior findings by former Malaysian Attorney General Mohamed Apandi Ali and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission that no crime had been committed, issued arrest warrants against Low.[39] The filing of these charges leading to the arrest warrant were described by a spokesperson for Low as "political reprisal" by the Mahathir regime which was described as having a disregard for the rule of law.[neutrality is disputed][40] In light of the warrants, some consider him a fugitive as he has reportedly been sought by the Malaysian authorities in connection with the 1MDB matter, notwithstanding that Low agreed to assist with the probe.[neutrality is disputed][41][42]

    According to South China Morning Post reports, Low is still involved in affairs of his Hong Kong companies.

    He signed documents for private equity firm Jynwel Capital and non-profit group Jynwel Charitable Foundation in July ,[43] even though Malaysian authorities were looking to arrest him in connection with the 1MDB scandal which he has stated as politically motivated.[44] He was alleged to have been in discussions with the Malaysian government on a potential deal, but the Malaysian government and he did not come to a deal.[45]

    Low allegedly purchased a US$, white Ferrari as a wedding gift for Kim Kardashian in [46] The Department of Justice (DoJ) was reported to have sought restitution from other famous celebrities who had received gifts from Low, among them Leonardo DiCaprio, who has since returned Picasso and Basquiat paintings; and Miranda Kerr who returned diamond jewellery with a market value of US$8 million.[46][47][48]

    Low invested $ million into the production of The Wolf of Wall Street, which was subsequently nominated for the Oscars.

    Leonardo DiCaprio specially thanked Low for his involvement during one of the awards ceremonies.[49] Red Granite, a productions company that was backed by Low, threw a lavish party in Cannes which included a performance by Kanye West.[citation needed]

    In June , the US Government, in proceedings brought against certain assets in the Central District of California, sought return of millions worth of assets derived from the Malaysian 1MDB wealth fund.

    On 1 November , Low and two ex-Goldman Sachs bankers, Tim Leissner and Roger Ng Chong Hwa, were indicted by the United States Department of Justice in connection with the 1MDB allegations.[50][51]

    On 31 October , Low entered into a global, comprehensive settlement with the US government forever resolving all civil, criminal, and administrative proceedings concerning asset forfeiture claims against various Low-linked assets.[52][53] The settlement did not resolve the government's underlying money laundering and bribery charges and is not otherwise tied to the ongoing U.S.

    criminal case against him.[54]

    In , Low was accused of a connection to the Burning Sun scandal through his friendship with Korean musician Psy; Low, Psy and others denied the allegations.[55][56] The case was closed for lack of evidence.[57][58]

    On 11 June , the U.

    S. Department of Justice announced charges related to violation of United States federal law.[59] "Low Taek Jho, 39, also known as Jho Low, and Prakazrel "Pras" Michel, 48, are alleged to have conspired with Elliott Broidy" related to their " engaging in undisclosed lobbying campaigns at the direction of Low and the Vice Minister of Public Security for the People's Republic of China".[59]

    Career as a fugitive

    Low is believed to be residing in China where he secretly travels extensively through major cities.

    In November , Al Jazeera reported that Low was currently living in Macau, in "a house owned by a senior member of the Chinese Communist Party."[60] He has managed to travel freely despite the Malaysian police submitting an Interpol red notice.[61][62][63] The Chinese government has denied harboring Low, although he was allegedly filmed at Shanghai Disneyland on Christmas Eve on a witness's cellphone.[64][65]

    In May , Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said that his government was collaborating with many countries to expedite Low’s extradition back to Malaysia.[66] That same month, Al Jazeera reported that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) believed Low was still hiding in Macau.[67]

    Civil forfeiture

    In June , Low agreed to forfeit more than $ million in assets to settle two civil cases with the U.S.

    Department of Justice, which includes a luxury apartment in Paris and artwork by Claude Monet and Andy Warhol. This agreement is in addition to a $ million yacht and another $1 billion previously forfeited by Low and his family. Low continues to face separate criminal cases for money laundering and bribery.[68] Malaysian authorities said they would continue to track down Low.[69]

    Other activities

    Politics

    Electioneering in Malaysia

    Consistent with his personal connections to the Najib Razak family, Low supported and funded the Prime Minister with 1MDB cash during the elections.[19] He organised a free pro-government concert in his home state of Penang featuring American musicians Busta Rhymes and Ludacris,[35] which was criticised by the local opposition government as unfair electioneering even though Low's close friend claimed the concert was for charity.[35][23]

    Lobbying activities in the United States

    According to a 6 May United States Department of Justice's indictment, Low was allegedly involved in a conspiracy to gain access to, and potentially influence, Barack Obama's campaign without disclosing the foreign origins of the money funneled to Obama's Super PAC.[70] The indictment against Low revealed that he directed the transfer of US$ million from foreign entities to former Fugees rapper Pras in for funneling into the US election.[71]

    Low was also helped by former Justice Department employee Higginbotham, who pleaded guilty to a charge in November , to set up bank accounts for a lobbying campaign against the US investigations into the 1MDB scandal.[72][73] In response, a spokesman for Low stated that "Mr.

    Biography essay graphic organizer Jho Low is a Malaysian businessman and international fugitive who is wanted by authorities in connection with the 1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal (1MDB scandal). He is accused of being the mastermind of the massive fraud, which allegedly involved siphoning US$ billion from a state-owned fund into his accounts.

    Low has never made any campaign contribution directly or indirectly in the United States."[74]

    The FBI has considered whether a donation of $, to Trump Victory in originated with Low.[75][76][77]:&#;&#; The Wall Street Journal reported that $75 million was offered to Elliott Broidy, a businessman and a Republican fundraiser, and his wife if the Justice Department ended its probe into 1MDB.[78][77]:&#;&#;

    In June , Low was charged by a federal grand jury for running a back-channel campaign to get the Trump administration to drop an investigation of Low and the 1MDB investment company.[79][80]

    Philanthropy

    Low has contributed money to various charities.[81] However, much, if not all, of his charitable giving occurred after the 1MDB scandal began to unfold, and thus critics claim that the money provided to various charities was stolen from 1MDB and that Low's charitable giving is simply part of a public relations strategy to burnish Low's tarnished image.[82][81][83]

    Citizenship

    Low, born in Malaysia and granted Malaysian citizenship at birth, has reportedly possessed numerous passports obtained by economic citizenship.[84] Low is presumed to have used these passports, from Caribbean and Mediterranean nations, to evade arrest.[84]

    Malaysia does not recognize dual citizenship,[85] and in June , Malaysian immigration authorities revoked Low's Malaysian passport on the basis that having more than one passport is a criminal offence in Malaysia.[86]

    In , it was reported that Low had been granted a Cypriot passport years earlier, under a Cypriot citizenship investment scheme,[87] "within two days after investing in some property" in Cyprus.[88] At the time, Low had not yet been criminally charged for the 1MDB scandal, but was already under investigation.[89] Low's Cypriot passport came to light after the Cyprus Papers revealed that the Cypriot government, under the presidency of Nicos Anastasiades, had granted citizenship to Cambodian elites, bringing scrutiny to the investment scheme.[90]
