- Episode Duration |
- 00:58:25
In the 2010s, US Navy officers took cash, prostitutes and more from a Malaysian defense contractor known as Fat Leonard. To tell a story that bears more than a hint of resemblance to the Jho Low 1MDB scandal, award-winning journalist Tom Wright (@tomwrightasia) joins me to discuss Fat Leonard’s relationship with the military and how it all came crashing down.
Tom is the host of the podcast series FAT LEONARD, and previously wrote a New York Times bestseller on Jho Low titled Billion Dollar Whale.
We discuss
How Fat Leonard managed to earn millions through US Navy contracts
The fate of the Navy officers who got mixed up with him
The secret orgy recordings now in China’s possession
Which Chinese historical events deserve the Death of Stalin treatment
