Malaysia disaster: 1MDB: The United States v The Wolf of Wall Street...

There is a scene in the 2013 Hollywood smash hit The Wolf of Wall Street where Leonardo DiCaprio, playing corrupt stock trader Jordan Belfort, is chatting with his mentor Mark Hanna, portrayed by Matthew McConnaughey. Hanna explains to him how to cheat clients of their money.

Mark Hanna: "The name of the game, moving the money from the client's pocket to your pocket."

Jordan Belfort: "But if you can make your clients money at the same time it's advantageous to everyone, correct?"

Mark Hanna: "No."

Going through the 136-page court filing from the US Department of Justice that names the Wolf of Wall Street film as the defendant, you wouldn't be blamed for thinking you were reading the script for a sequel.

The allegations are damning. Full story...
