Exiled From Goldman Sachs, a Fallen Star Finds His Next Act
Andrea Vella, who was banned from the US banking industry over his alleged role in the 1MDB scandal, speaks on his new business ventures, including an investment in psychedelic drugs.
Andrea Vella is upfront: He’s not going to talk about 1MDB and the scandal that ended his Wall Street career.
Vella, or co-conspirator No. 4 to the US Justice Department, says he’s moved on from all that — from the tale of bribery and money laundering and the flamboyant Jho Low, the fugitive moneyman accused of masterminding the scheme to loot the Malaysian government investment fund.
