3. Journalists Tom Wright and Bradley Hope, who exposed the 1MDB corruption, claim Jho Low is active in global finance and possibly aiding Chinese-linked companies with sanctions navigation.

4. Malaysian authorities, including Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, have acknowledged the reports but lack official confirmation on Low's current activities.

5. The 1MDB scandal involves a $4.5 billion theft, with ongoing recovery efforts by Malaysian, U.S., and other international authorities.
