Keywords:
Tags:
The movie "Wolf of Wall Street" with Leonardo Di Caprio was made by Red Granite Pictures which has connections with 1MDB Fund in Malaysia and provided $100 million, according to this story in the WSJ. This story says $1.2 billion was sent by MDB to a Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund investment arm Aabar Investments PJS which setup an identically named company in the British Virgin Islands where the money actually went. The money for the film came from this company in the British Virgin Islands. Najib Razak, Malaysian prime minister's stepson is described to be the head of the Red Granite Pictures Company. The film was never shown in Malaysia for morality reasons and its depiction of a penny stock swindler.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
