Jade Bahr Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Quote Leonardo DiCaprio Gives Grand Jury Testimony in Malaysian Corruption Probe (Report) The Hollywood star testified behind closed doors about an international money-laundering scheme that allegedly was used to fund 'The Wolf of Wall Street.' Leonardo DiCaprio has given secret testimony to a Washington, D.C. grand jury over his role in a multibillion-dollar Malaysian corruption scandal that ensnared the Hollywood star, his film The Wolf of Wall Street and its production company Red Granite Pictures, according to a report Friday in The Washington Post. DiCaprio's reps did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and a U.S. Department of Justice spokesperson offered no comment on the press report. Grand jury testimony is given behind closed doors, so there's no indication of what DiCaprio may have said. A spokesperson for DiCaprio in 2016 told The Hollywood Reporter that the actor supported "all efforts to assure that justice is done" after the DoJ first connected DiCaprio and his environmental charity to the Malaysian corruption scandal. The DoJ probe is understood to have investigated alleged ties between the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation and a Malaysian embezzlement scheme where more than $3 billion was withdrawn from a Malaysian sovereign wealth fund called 1 Malaysian Development Berhad (1MDB). While the DoJ probe has not targeted DiCaprio, the Post report indicates the star is considered a witness to an alleged conspiracy that used proceeds from the 1MDB fund to finance The Wolf of Wall Street. An earlier exposé in THR looked into the workings of the DiCaprio's foundation and questioned its ties to 1MDB and its lack of transparency, as well as the star's relationship with controversial Malaysian businessman Jho Low and Riza Aziz, the stepson of the Malaysian prime minister and co-founder of Red Granite Pictures. DiCaprio’s connection to the 1MDB scandal can be traced back to October 2009 and his relationship with Low. Still in his late 20s yet newly flush with what the government claims was $700 million in allegedly siphoned 1MDB funds, the Malaysian had embarked on a wild U.S. shopping spree — regularly dropping millions of dollars in A-list nightclubs as he attempted to lure celebrities into his paid-for orbit. In addition to DiCaprio, Paris Hilton and Jamie Foxx were among those drawn in by his spending spree, and he reportedly dated Miranda Kerr. Low received a "special thanks" for his part in financing The Wolf of Wall Street, before the U.S. government in November 2018 brought criminal charges against him and two bankers for allegedly looting the 1MDB fund. His whereabouts remain unknown. Source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxford25 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 New pix of Leo and group at JFK last night. The JJ articles seems to infer they group had just arrived in NY , but we know Leo has been in NY the last several days and was actually leaving. Near the end of pix , you can see Leo removes the hood, lifts the cap , so the TSA agent , like with any other traveler , can see his face does match picture on his license Jade Tks for all the many pix As to Leo/accordion pix, going by the hat Leo is wearing , I wouldn't think it was recent, but it is a good pix of him Barbie Tks for latest Once news. Yes, it does seem that Quentin's wife is either playing two parts, or it could be that she and Leo were in movie /tv show together and in this scene they are attending the movie/tv show premiere , and one name is the name of her character in the pretend movie/tv show, and other is her off screen name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxford25 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 At top of page you can see video of Leo and group arriving at airport and going through security. You can see with Leo is woman assigned to VIP's , who then takes Leo over to separate area to check through his carry on luggage,etc Notice woman across from him laughing , as she and others watch him https://theblast.com/leo-dicaprio-tsa-airport-screening-baseball-hat/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly he was one of the guys shot by Dr King Schultz in the very beginning and then he was at Candyland playing one of Candies men. The first time I was bit confused like didn't he die already so what the hell is he doing here? Maybe it's Tarantinos thing to cast smaller roles with the same actors. But I'm not familiar enough with his work to say he's always doing it. Just a presumption. Maybe they just look alike and I am completely wrong Thanks ox for recent pics Cute the last ones when Leo lifted his cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxford25 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 From DM new pix of Leo at last night's tribute concert to Chris Cornell Looks to me in the first pix is that he is with his long time rep/friend Rick Yorn Leo's pal Nikki posted insta story about concert, so it could be other pals of his were there as well They claim the 2nd pix was taken at Dan Tana's later, but odd that Leo would have changed jackets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
