On Monday, renowned actor Leonardo DiCaprio testified in a federal court and revealed shocking details about an alleged money-laundering conspiracy. The scheme allegedly featured Malaysian financier Jho Low, who allegedly used a well-known rap musician from the 1990s to channel money to former President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign in 2012. DiCaprio’s testimony certainly had many people on the edge of their seats since it offered a unique look at the inner workings of a complex business.
DiCaprio said, “It was a causal conversation about what party he was in support of, I told him what party I was in support of. And he told me that he, or he and a group, were going to make a significant contribution to the Democratic Party.”

“It was a significant sum… something to the tune of $20-30 million. I said, ‘Wow that’s a lot of money! ” actor gave testimony.
The New York Post reports:
While foreigners are prohibited from contributing to US campaigns by federal election law, Low allegedly enlisted Prakazrel “Pras” Michel, a founding member of the legendary 1990s hip-hop group The Fugees, to transfer the funds to Obama’s reelection campaign.
Prosecutors claimed that Michel accepted tens of millions of dollars to lobby on behalf of Low and the Chinese government as a whole.
Much of the money was reportedly stolen. Low is accused of embezzling a whopping $4.5 billion from Malaysia’s state investment fund known as 1MDB.
Due to his long-standing friendship with Low, whom he considered to be “a great businessman” with contacts in Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, DiCaprio, 48, was asked to testify in the case. Low contributed to the production of his 2013 film “The Wolf of Wall Street,” for which the actor took home the best actor Golden Globe.
DiCaprio recalled being a part of a party that used Low’s jet once to spend New Year’s Eve in Australia before continuing the celebrations in Las Vegas the next day. He claimed that Michel, whom he had first met in the 1990s backstage at a Fugees show, had joined some of the journeys.
When it comes to promoting environmental causes, former president Barack Obama and Leonardo DiCaprio make a potent team. The two have frequently collaborated to raise awareness of the urgent problem of climate change and the importance of protecting our planet’s resources, whether at conferences throughout the world or in private encounters. DiCaprio and Obama combine their enthusiasm for sustainability and conservation to make a powerful force in the struggle for a greener future.
Leonardo DiCaprio, the hunky star of Hollywood, received a special designation as a United Nations Ambassador of Peace in 2015 with an emphasis on climate change. Given that DiCaprio has historically supported environmental preservation, this comes as no surprise. Speaking of utilizing popularity for a good cause, he even spoke with former President Obama for his climate change documentary “Before the Flood.”
At the White House South by South Lawn festival in 2016, former president Barack Obama and actor Leonardo DiCaprio shared the stage. Instead of working together on a movie or political campaign, they did so to address the urgent global problem of climate change. The two took part in a panel discussion on the subject, using their prominent platforms to push for awareness-building and action. It was a unique chance to witness two people from very different backgrounds come together for a similar goal and a reminder that despite our differences, we all have a duty to safeguard the planet we call home.
The well-known perpetrator of a significant fraud scam involving Malaysia’s state investment fund, Jho Low, has been charged with stealing billions of dollars for personal gain. In 2015, the horrifying incident became well-known and spurred worldwide inquiries and legal actions in a number of countries, including the USA.
Low, a man who has eluded capture since the historic scandal broke, is rumored to be hiding out in China. Despite his repeated insistence on his innocence and denial of any misconduct, his detractors do not believe him and believe the accusations against him are more politically motivated than anything else.
One of several court cases surrounding the infamous 1MDB scam, Leonardo DiCaprio testified in a trial involving Pras Michel. Due to the scandal, numerous people and organizations have been accused of bribery, money laundering, and other crimes. The US government is making unrelenting efforts to recoup assets that were bought using money that has been determined to be stolen.
That?? Deserves a WOW!! SO.. it’s not just Biden who belongs in jail!!
Obama must’ve been his mentor!!
All of Obamas assets and all of Bidens assets should be seized and all checked out to see how much was illegal and then fined 100 million before returning anything, they are both communist.They should all be in jail and Trump should go free and the NY should be made to pay Trump 10 billion for his troubles. in my opinion
In my opinion Obama made this country an Abama-Nation, which Trump was in the process of correcting then Bi-Dung became president, through corruption, taking up the gauntlet and further destroying America for profit! Obama manipulated the market making billions and destroyed hundreds of thousands of people’s investments in the market! Again which was recovering under Trump, but once Bi-Dung took over it immediately went downhill again, mainly through insider trading which is completely illegal and is yet another reason why Bi-Dung should have been impeached a long time ago, before he had a chance to destroy America, and become a traitor to the American people!
