Goldman Sachs Group Inc. banker Roger Ng wasn’t always included in meetings held by key players in the multibillion-dollar looting of 1MDB, according to testimony presented by his defense team.
Ng, the only Goldman banker to go to trial in the 1MDB scandal, is accused of plotting with his former boss Tim Leissner and Malaysian financier Jho Low to pull off a fraud in which billions of dollars were siphoned from the Malaysian sovereign wealth fund.
