1mdb Pay Up Anwar Tells Goldman Sachs


 
SINGAPORE: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has demanded that Goldman Sachs Group Inc honour its settlement with the government for its role in the 1MDB scandal, saying the Wall Street firm shouldn’t use its financial strength to dictate terms.
The abuse of the sovereign state fund was made possible because of "complicity” from institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Anwar told Bloomberg Television’s Haslinda Amin in his first interview with international media since becoming prime minister.
"My only appeal is for them to settle this deal with Malaysia because 1MDB is known throughout the world,” Anwar said Monday in Singapore.
"It is there in the books and I think that Goldman Sachs should come out clean and deal with Malaysia.”
State development fund 1MDB became the centre of a multi-billion dollar scandal that spawned probes in Asia, the US and Europe. Goldman Sachs in 2020 admitted its role in the biggest foreign bribery case in US enforcement history, reaching multiple international settlements in the billions of dollars to end probes into its fundraising for 1MDB.
The Malaysian government in 2018 turned its attention to Goldman Sachs for its work raising US$6.5bil in 2012 and 2013 for 1MDB.
The bonds were earmarked for redevelopment but all but US$2bil of the money was diverted to pay bribes to government officials, US federal prosecutors said.
Authorities spent years tracking funds that allegedly flowed from 1MDB into high-end art and real estate, a super yacht and the hit Hollywood movie "The Wolf of Wall Street”.
The settlement announced in July 2020 called for Goldman Sachs to pay
US$2.5bil while guaranteeing the return of US$1.4bil of 1MDB assets seized by authorities around the world, in exchange for Malaysia dropping charges against the bank.
Goldman must also make a one-time interim payment of US$250mil if Malaysia has not received at least US$500mil in assets and proceeds by August 2022, according to the bank. However, the two disagree over whether the government had received the US$500mil in proceeds by the August deadline, Goldman Sachs said in a filing last year.
The bank in the filing had also accused Malaysia of having "unilaterally reduced” the value of one asset by US$80mil, while declining to include substantial additional assets in accounting of assets and proceeds recovered.
"Given a fair deal, we are supposed to be paid much more than that, which I intend to deal with them if these things are not settled amicably,” said Anwar in response to Goldman’s claims.
"It’s not my intention - I’m just new in the game. I just want to settle old scores, in the sense of old commitments that we have made. We have to move on.”
Goldman Sachs spokesman referred Bloomberg to the firm’s 10Q filing when reached for comment.
At the time of its filing, Goldman Sachs had said the parties had a three-month window to try and resolve the dispute. The matter would be settled by arbitration should no resolution be reached.
"But if they come and pressure us with this, I will have no choice because I have a mandate from my people, and people are struggling to live and you with your hundreds of billions of profit and squandering, you can’t just get away by ignoring your moral responsibility and financial responsibility,” Anwar said. – Bloomberg
