Leonardo DiCaprio, Paris Hilton, Miranda Kerr and Lindsay Lohan. Other alleged players in the scandal -- chief among them the international financier Jho Low -- remain at large, out of the reach of Malaysian and US authorities. Instead, according to US prosecutors , 1MDB was used as a slush fund by Najib, Low and other high-ranking officials at the fund, who allegedly embezzled more than $3.5 billion over six years.
