Kimora Lee, ex-model and ex-wife of former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. banker Tim Leissner, claims that shares worth about $93 million that he was ordered to forfeit as part of his 1MDB guilty plea actually belong to her.
Kimora Lee Simmons arrives at the premiere of Touchstone Pictures and Miramax Films' 'The Tempest' at the El Capitan Theatre on December 6, 2010 in Los Angeles, California. — Kimora Lee, the former model and ex-wife of former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. banker Tim Leissner, claims that shares worth about US$93 million that he was ordered to forfeit as part of his 1MDB guilty plea actually belong to her.
Leissner, Goldman Sach’s former Southeast Asia head, pleaded guilty in 2018 to conspiring with financier Jho Low, the alleged mastermind of the sprawling fraud scheme, to bribe officials in Malaysia and Abu Dhabi to facilitate bond deals. Low, who remains a fugitive, pocketed US$1.42 billion from the fraud, the US has said.
Leissner, who was the government’s star witness at a trial of his former subordinate, Roger Ng, was also ordered in March to surrender US$43.7 million in cash in addition to the shares.
