The co-author of an exposé on Malaysia’s multibillion-dollar 1MDB scandal has been tweeting about the government of Thailand’s involvement in the scandal as well, in the wake of recent accusations from one of Thailand’s political parties of a 2014 “dark alliance” between the Malaysian and Thai governments.

Tom Wright, co-author of Billion Dollar Whale, tweeted that Low Taek Jho, the financier at the heart of the 1MDB scandal, “despite being an international fugitive, lived a life of luxury in Bangkok, protected by police, partying in five-star hotels, and even buying his own shopping mall.”
