Leonardo DiCaprio Says Malaysian Financier Planned to Donate to Obama's 2012 Campaign
Channel News Asia ^ | 04 Apr 2023

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio told a Washington jury on Monday (Apr 3) that Malaysian financier Jho Low revealed his plans to donate up to US$30 million to help US President Barack Obama's 2012 reelection campaign in what prosecutors allege was part of an illegal foreign influence operation.

"It was a casual conversation about what party he was in support of," DiCaprio said, telling jurors that Low said he planned on giving "a significant donation" to the Democratic Party that was "somewhere to the tune of US$20-30 million."

The Titanic star took the witness stand in the trial of Prakazrel "Pras" Michel of the Fugees hip-hop group, who faces criminal charges for his alleged role in a foreign influence campaign aimed at the administrations of Obama and Donald Trump. Michel has denied the allegations.

What a Surprise! NOT! Obama & company probably looked for the families of Clinton bagmen Charlie Trie and Johnny Chung. Charlie and Johnny funneled more $$$ than the Buddhist Monks.

Mark Levin used to point out Obama’s published daily schedule. While past Presidents had very full schedules, Obama didn’t publish or disclose most of his shenanigans. The typical day would be NOTHING before 10:30am, a meeting before lunch, then go talk with SloJo, and that was it. Who he actually connived with (Acorn, Antifa etc) was not listed.

“... In August 2017, the DOJ asked for a stay on its civil lawsuits seeking to seize more than US$1.7 billion in assets allegedly bought with stolen 1MDB funds because it was conducting a related criminal probe.

Among the assets sought were a US$250 million luxury yacht bought by Malaysian financier Jho Low, named as a key figure in the US lawsuits. The lawsuits claimed that Mr Low used proceeds diverted from 1MDB to procure Equanimity, which it described as a 300-foot yacht registered in the Cayman Islands.

Mr Low’s whereabouts are unknown and his Hong Kong company has not responded to requests for comment. ...”

Obama’s team was allowed to remove security measures from his donation websites. And surprise surprise. Millions poured in that were the same amount from those sites.

DOJ report 2019: The Department of Justice has reached a settlement of its civil forfeiture cases against assets acquired by Low Taek Jho, aka Jho Low, and his family using funds allegedly misappropriated from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), Malaysia’s investment development fund, and laundered through financial institutions..., including the USA, Switzerland, Singapore and Luxembourg. These assets, located in the USA, the UK and Switzerland, are estimated to be worth more than $700 million. With the conclusion of this settlement..., the United States will have recovered or assisted in the recovery of more than $1 billion in assets associated with the 1MDB international money laundering and bribery scheme. This represents the largest recovery to date under the Department’s Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative and the largest civil forfeiture ever concluded by the Justice Department.
“As alleged in the complaints, Jho Low and others, including officials in Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates, engaged in a brazen multi-year conspiracy to launder money embezzled or otherwise misappropriated from 1MDB....

Leonardo DiCaprio should be in jail. He was aware of a major criminal act to undermine the United States.

I remember that when donation lists were reviewed for Obama campaign:

Donations listed as being from GEORGIA—USA-—Had an international phone number & the “Donation” came from GAZA.

NOTHING was done.

I remember some Indonesians greased the Clintons real good, too. Bill then dedicated an Utah coal area as an untouchable landmark, so that the Indonesian Riadi brothers had the low-sulfer coal market cornered. Dedication was held in front of the Grand Canyon, to avoid any embarrassing encounters with POd coal miners.
