Silly Silly Najib

You know, here's the point behind what I was saying recently about the acclaimed super-wealthy, and their chances of experiencing real happiness. At the heart of all stories of wealth, big business, material riches, lies not money nor even intelligence but raw power - the ability to control what a group of people are doing. And as soon as this ability starts to fracture and fray, suddenly the underlying stupidity of those involved at the top becomes exposed, and shortly afterwards the wealth is all entirely lost.

It's easy enough to note that the recent huge scandal involving the one-time Prime Minister of Malaysia, Najib Razak, more or less really began when one of the corporate officers 'broke ranks' and began releasing computer data showing swathes of suspect bank transactions involving very very large sums of money. The guy himself was threatened, he was jailed in Thailand in a clear-cut act of criminal corruption by the Thai government, senior police and judiciary (uh-oh, I can't go there now!!) but the whole corrupt endeavor was so incompetently handled that it all turned into a major mess in which hardly anyone knew what their roles were to the extent that nothing planned actually worked and people meant to remain silent spoke to the media and those meant to talk, didn't!

Now at this point I have to state that not everything currently out in the press, in the media, is 'as stated.' And by that I mean to say that there is some surreptitious involvement on the part of not one, but several foreign intelligence services acting in concert, and some meddling by foreign governments acting adversely against the interests of Najib Razak - he has a point when he says charges against him are politically-motivated and involve state secrets and foreign interference; those things are perfectly true.

But for me the most salient part of the whole sad and sorry episode is that underneath everything that was 'meant to be' going on - what was going on - are clear indications of arrogance and ignorance about capital, and especially, utter insanity when it comes to techniques of money laundering. Absolute utter derelict stupidity and ignorance. These people yes, accessed power and pushed some big dollars around, but ridiculously pathetically. 

After many decades in the business of high level professional money laundering, the one thing I can tell you about governments, big businesses, and well-known names who come asunder, is that what you are told is 'big money' or 'big capital' is almost always based on no money at all when claims are made that the money is there.

You see, 1DMB (the Malaysian government enterprise that is now the corporate front-end of the whole financial scandal) was originally based on a Terengganu State capital fund which had monies owed to it in the present, and at a future time, but which it had not yet received in any legitimate liquid form other than 'promissory notes.' Now I'm going to assume that Goldman Sachs 'made' those promissory notes which derived from investment they made on behalf of Terengganu State in ordinary Wall Street term investment products, converted into so-called 'Islamic Halal' investment notes... And I think, Goldman Sachs knowing that the Muslims would be able to do nothing about it, never paid up on time or at any time.

But, 'someone' proffered some idiots to the Malaysian Government to nonetheless 'capitalize' on the 'income' and 'royalties' from those initial 'notes' and brought in Prince Turki (one of the 'Prince Turki's,' at least, because there are several of them).

For me I'm seeing a trap having been laid by maybe Goldman Sachs here...

Because I need to tell all fifty of you who read here, none of whom are in 'sovereign wealth funds' nor are any of you Najib Razak or any government leader in fact and so on who naturally enough knows far far far more than a simple world class money launderer who has never been apprehended, like myself (why do fat people never ask thin people for advice by the way?) - that from what I can 'see' of the story about 1DMB, there never ever needed to have been a scandal, nor a mess, and that in fact, the 3 billion claimed by Turki to be able to result from his oil extraction businesses, was EASILY attainable.

For god's sake, how is it possible that there are that many bloody damned idiots walking around the world stage doing this crap that 1DMB did and utterly FAILING, at what was essentially a completely simple thing!
