Other people who participated in the 1MDB scandal includes Razak’s stepson, Riza Aziz, who co-founded Red Granite Pictures and was a producer on The Wolf of Wall Street, as well as playboy Jho Low, who is reportedly now on the run to escape extradition.
Word of The Wolf of Wall Street’s troubled financial origins first came out back in 2016, and Jordan Belfort, the man who The Wolf of Wall Street is based on, saw the producers throw a launch party for the movie that could have cost around $3 million when production hadn’t even began yet.
Later on, there were even calls for Leonardo DiCaprio to return his earnings from The Wolf of Wall Street.
It’s also worth noting that Red Granite Pictures also produced Dumb and Dumber To and Daddy’s Home, but back in March, the company settled with the U.S. Justice Department for $60 million.
