Pada 30 Jan, 2012, Pengerusi Falcon Bank Mohamed Al-Husseiny telah dihubungi oleh seseorang yang berupa sebagai "Eric Tan" dengan menggunakan akaun e-mel erickimloong.tan@gmail.com , dengan permohonan kepada bank untuk membuka akaun bagi pihak seorang kawan.
Al-Husseiny menjawab Eric Tan dan panjangkan salin e-mel tersebut kepada Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Falcon (CEO) Eduardo Leemann, yang kemudiannya mengarakhan Sturzenegger untuk pergi ke Kuala Lumpur untuk bertemu Eric Tan.
Di Kuala Lumpur, Sturzenegger telah dibawa ke kediaman oleh Eric Tan yang kemudiannya memperkenalkan semula dirinya sebagai Jho Low.
Tetapi Sturzenegger diberitahu oleh Jho Low untuk terus mengenalinya sebagai "Eric" atau "Eric Tan" atas sebab2 keselamatan.
Ia hanya semasa proses pembukaan akaun itu, baru Sturzenegger menyedari bahawa Eric Tan dan Jho Low bukanlah orang yang sama selepas dia melihat salinan pasport dan kurikulum vitae Eric Tan Kim Loong yang sebenarnya.
Sehingga Oktober 2012, empat akaun telah dibuka dengan Falcon bawah nama Eric Tan. Akaun2 ini akan kekal aktif sehingga Mac 2013.
Pada 18 Mac, 2013, melalui arahan melalui e-mel daripada Eric Tan Falcon telah diberitahu untuk menjangkakan aliran masuk lebih daripada AS $ 1 bilion daripada tiga dana: Dana Pelaburan Cistenique, Dana Pasaran Baru Muncul Enterprise dan Dana Devonshire Ltd.
Akaun e-mel yang sama (Eric Tan) juga telah menghantar arahan kepada kedua-dua ibu pejabat Falcon dan cawangannya di Singapura supaya memasukkan dana2 itu kepada pelbagai pihak lain.
Menurut Timbalan Pendakwa Raya, Sturzenegger menjadi "amat bimbang" mengenai pergerakan jumlah wang yang besar dan mempunyai keraguan bahawa dana itu sememangnya modal yang diperolehi dari pelbagai dana yang kemudiannya dilaburkan dengan Tan.
"Dalam perbualan pada 21 Mac, 2013, dengan rakan-rakannya, tertuduh menyatakan kebimbangan bahawa aliran masuk dana mungkin berkaitan dengan pengubahan wang haram(money laundering)," kata Timbalan Pendakwa Raya Leong Weng Tat. - theedgemarkets

Ooops!!! Jho Low dan Eric Tang
olang yang sama...
Najib Razak sebelum ini mendakwa wang AS$681 juta atau kira-kira RM2,600 juta yang diterimanya melalui akaun peribadi di Ambank adalah derma daripada kerabat Diraja Arab Saudi.
WSJ dalam pendedahannya, bagaimanapun membuktikan bahawa wang itu disalurkan daripada akaun Tanore Finance, sebuah syarikat yang didaftarkan di British Virgin Island dan dipunyai oleh Eric Tan.
Pemindahan wang tersebut dilakukan melalui Falcon Private Bank di Singapura.
Najib menerima wang itu pada Mac 2013, kira-kira dua bulan sebelum pilihanraya umum 2013 diadakan.
Peguam Negara, Apandi Ali ketika membersihkan Najib daripada sebarang salahlaku berkaitan penerimaan wang yang dikaitkan dengan 1MDB kemudian mengatakan sebahagian besar wang itu iaitu AS$620 juta telah dipulangkan kembali kepada pendermanya kerana ia tidak digunapakai.
Baiknya hati Najib...barangkali hanya beliau seorang di dunia ini yang pernah diberikan wang AS681 juta, tetapi kemudian memulangkannya kembali sebanyak AS$620 juta kerana ia tidak digunakan!!
Pengembalian wang itu berlaku pada 30 Ogos 2013, sama tarikh dengan akaun Najib di Ambank ditutup.
Sarawak Report dalam butirannya mendedahkan, wang itu sebenarnya dikembalikan kepada Tanore Finance iaitu syarikat yang sama yang memasukkan AS$681 juta kepada Najib sebelum itu.
Mudah kata, Najib dapat AS$681 juta daripada Tanore Finance dan AS$620 juta kemudian dikembalikan kepada Tanore Finance juga.
Itu cerita yang mula heboh sejak 2015 dahulu dan masih menjadi bualan hingga sekarang.
Dua hari lalu di mahkamah Singapura iaitu pada 11 Januari 2017, dalam kes perbicaraan bekas Pengurus Cawangan Falcon Private Bank negara itu, Jens Sturzenegger atas kesalahan berkaitan penggubahan wang haram, telah didedahkan bahawa Jho Low dan Eric Tan adalah orang yang sama. Baca seterusnya...
Jho Low's alias revelation brings
new twist to 1MDB saga...
A significant twist has emerged with regard to the 1MDB saga where it was disclosed in a Singapore court that billionaire Jho Low had also used a different name in his financial dealings involving Malaysia’s troubled investment fund.
Though investigations into 1MDB transactions are being carried out in various countries, Singapore has been the swiftest, shutting down BSI Bank and Falcon Private Bank for facilitating the laundering of 1MDB-linked funds and charging former employees of these banks.
Earlier this week, the Singapore court heard that the often mentioned "Eric Tan Kim Loong" was in fact an alias for Low. According to the Singapore case, Falcon Private Bank Singapore branch manager Jens Sturzeneggar had been in communication with the email address, erickimloong.tan@gmail.com, but later discovered that he was actually corresponding with Low.
When the two met, the Malaysian-born billionaire revealed that he used the name Eric Tan on some occasions for "security" purposes. Tan, whose name had cropped up repeatedly as the owner of several companies to which 1MDB funds were allegedly diverted to, had been a mystery from the onset.
Unlike Low, who is known to be a close associate of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's family, Tan did not fit into the 1MDB puzzle apart from being described as a "business associate" of the billionaire. The Singapore case established that four Falcon Private Bank accounts were held by companies controlled by Low using the alias "Eric Tan Kim Loong" and that Sturzeneggar had tried to conceal this fact.
On Wednesday, Sturzeneggar pleaded guilty to this and five other charges and was slapped with a 28-week jail sentence and a S$128,000 fine. Two of the Falcon accounts mentioned in the case were held by Granton Property Holdings Limited and Tanore Finance Corporation. The latter was the origin of the US$681 million in Najib's personal bank accounts.
Based on the revelation that the accounts were controlled by Low through an alias, there appears now to be a direct money trail link between the prime minister and Low.
Najib had maintained that the colossal sum was a donation from a member of the Saudi royal family and denied abusing public funds for personal gain. Attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali, who cleared Najib of any wrongdoing, also claimed that US$620 million of the money was returned to the donor.
According to US Department of Justice (DOJ), which has sought to seize more than US$1 billion in assets purchased with “stolen money” from 1MDB, the specific amount - US$620,010,715 - was returned to Tanore.
Bulk of funds held by Low
The latest Singapore revelation fuels more interest in Low as it suggests that the returned money went to the billionaire as he controlled Tanore through an alias. The DOJ had alleged that US$835 million and US$430 million were diverted into Tanore and Granton respectively from a US$3 billion bond intended for the development of 1MDB's Tun Razak Exchange.
Apart from the US$681 million for "Malaysian Official 1", US$137 million from the Tanore account was used to purchase artwork. Some US$100 million of these artworks were gifted from Tan's Tanore to Low with letters that read: "Gift of art-works... in consideration of your friendship, your charitable contribution to the world, and passion in promoting the understanding and appreciation of art-works."
The development in Singapore raises the question as to whether Low wrote the letters and gifted the artworks to himself. According to the DOJ investigation, Christie's Auction House, which sold the artworks including pieces by Monet and Vincent Van Gogh, viewed Tanore and Low interchangeably even though Low made specific instruction for all communications to be directed to Tan.
Funds from the Granton account was also used to purchase artwork while US$235.5 million ended up in Low's personal account at BSI Bank in Singapore after passing through intermediaries. Tan is also named as the beneficial owner of Blackstone Real Estate Partners, a Standard Chartered bank account where large sums of 1MDB funds were allegedly diverted.
Falcon Bank CEO Eduardo Leeman said this to Jho Low...
Australia's ABC News, based on bank statements, claimed at least US$120 million flowed into Najib's personal bank accounts from the Blackstone account. It is unclear if the Blackstone account with Standard Chartered, which was beneficially owned by Tan, was also an alias for Low, as it was in the case of accounts with Falcon Private Bank.
No Standard Chartered employee had been charged in Singapore to date but the bank was slapped with a S$5.2 million fine by the Monetary Authority of Singapore in December last year.
While Jho Low had used Tan's name as his alias, Tan himself is believed to be an actual person, according to Sturzenegger. Sturzenegger claimed that he knew this because he had seen Tan's passport and curriculum vitae. This begs the question whether Tan's identity was abused or if he willingly allowed his name to be used.
The DOJ found that both Tan (player XXX8710) and Low (player XXX4296) were listed at Venetian Casino Resort in Las Vegas, where 1MDB-linked funds were used to pay off gambling debt. It could be that the real Tan was gambling with Low or that Low had two casino accounts under different names.
The Singapore court case managed to shed some light on Tan but he remains shrouded in mystery despite his name appearing as the beneficiary of several companies to which 1MDB funds were allegedly diverted to. - mk
Pendedahan nama lain Jho Low perkembangan terkini saga 1MDB
Jho Low guna nama proksi Eric Tan
Wow folks. This is real life that is stranger than fiction. Just like in Tamil Nadu the recently expired former movie star Chief Minister Jayalalitha perhaps died days or weeks earlier. The crooks embalmed her body and had everyone believe that she was being secluded in an ICU in the hospital. First a hospital in Chennai. Now they say that she was actually secretly flown out to a hospital in London. Donno if the Brits can confirm their end of the story though. I must put a disclaimer - these are the many versions of the story. I have stopped following the story. Maybe just wait for the movie to come out.
Stranger things have happened and are happening in Malaysia. Yup its 1MDB again. You must read the latest report from The Thingy here.
As I said earlier, this is simple thievery. Ini kes curi. The 1MDB related cases (four so far) are being heard in the Singapore courts. The nitty gritty of the thievery are now coming out in Court.
Forged letters, dummy companies and now fake signatures or pretending to be someone else (who may not even have existed). There must be at least one event of "hiding behind doors" somewhere along the line.
The Thingy says that the person signing cheques as Eric Tan could be none other than Hippo herself ! ! She wanted to control the money.
Here is an excerpt :
Who was the actual signatory on the accounts?
Last week The Thingy connected the dots and concluded that the name of ‘Eric Tan’, the beneficial owner of several 1MDB related bank accounts, appeared to be merely an alias for the master-mind behind the thefts, Jho Low.
Now, the Singapore court has confirmed this suspicion, explaining that the Falcon Bank branch boss, Jans Sturzenegger, had confessed that Jho Low told him he used the identity on certain occasions ‘for security purposes‘.
Sturzenegger was sentenced to 28 weeks jail and a fine for initially lying to the authorities and failing to report suspicious transactions, making him the first western banker to be convicted in this affair.
That Tan was actually Low confirms the point made by The Thingy that someone who has stolen billions of dollars would be highly unlikely to trust the money in the hands of another.
It was for this reason that it was obvious Low would not have put a genuine associate in control of these vast accounts.
However, Low was not the only player behind this sorry saga and there were others who likewise were anxious for their own assurances.
The Thingy has heard through very well-placed sources that there was therefore a check on the use of these accounts, which was that the actual signatory was not Jho nor Eric, but someone else. That signature was needed to authorise payments.
The Thingy has been told that this signatory was a woman with whom Jho Low was closely associated in the matter of 1MDB.
So, when insiders informed us over a year ago that Hippo had complained over Jho Low’s spending, exclaiming “It’s my money as well”, perhaps this is what they were referring to?
I have always wondered about this part. The husband acted as the 'receiving agent'. But surely Hippo must have put in some control mechanism to make sure that she was in full control of the money.
This is where Eric Tan comes in.
And .. .. jeng jeng jeng Tanore Finance.
"Tanore Finance, the company which passed on the cash, was in the name of Jho Low’s associate, Eric Tan .."
Well we know now that Eric Tan was JoLo (with Hippo as signatory??)
Therefore Tanore Finance was also JoLo and Hippo.
Lets refresh our memory a little folks : recall that on 22 March 2013 Tanore Finance transferred US$835 million into MOI's accounts at Ambank. This was part of that famous RM2.6 billion. (Would you believe it, the exchange rate was only RM3.11 ! ! )
NOW HERE IS THE OTHER BLOCKBUSTER : That pendek fellow confirmed that the RM2.6 billion was a donation and that after a certain amount was used, the balance of the donation was returned to the same source.
Folks there was no donation.
The source of the US$835 million or RM2.6 billion "donation" was Tanore Finance which was owned by a fake "Eric Tan" who is actually JoLo whose bank accounts were also co-signed by Hippo. (And one Jasmine Loo Ai Swan.)
After deducting for election expenses, the balance remaining from the RM2.6 billion was "returned to the same source".
What this means is that the balance money was sent back to the Hippo's control at Tanore Finance's account in Falcon Bank.
The Singaporeans know this. Well no big deal, the Singaporeans would know the facts of the case. If that is what happened then the Singaporeans would find out from their investigations. You cannot hide things like this.
This is a really serious twist to the whole crime. The Singaporeans will issue a warrant of arrest for JoLo. They should or they must. Now they can also issue a warrant of arrest for Hippo ! ! Instead of MO1 ! ! It will be a great face saving device for 'across the straits relations' if MO1 was left out of the Courts in Singapore. But not the wife.
In fact this information already implicates the wife. The warrant may be issued for her instead. Or maybe the Americans or the Swiss may do it instead.

Sabah Water Department :
Again Najib did not disappoint!...
Today....as expected....Najib's government did not disappoint us!
SPRM stamped the file NFA (No Further Action). No corruption...any action will be "atas kesalahan pengubahan wang haram!"....movement of illegal cash.
It is just past 6 AM here in Melbourne. And that is the first piece of news I terima from Bolehland this Saturday morning 14th January 2016. How does one react to this latest piece of blatant, arrogant and "could not care a rats ass what the Rakyat thinks" piece of s**t that this corrupt prime minister of ours has just sanctioned SPRM to announce?
My first reaction is not anger...it was more me telling myself a quiet "I told you so" with a shake of my head to comfort my aching heart and to acknowledge that again, we have been f**ked by this BN government led by Najib.
Nor am I incensed at the audacity of a prime minister brave enough to tell the people that the millions found at the home of a civil servant serving under his administration are NOT the proceed of corruption. Why should I be when we have seen him deny that billions gone missing from 1MDB and FELDA....I repeat billions not millions.... are the result of any wrongdoing within his administration! That the 2.6billion found in his personal account are not the proceeds of any crime but merely a donation from sources still unknown to us all.
I read about this latest Najib sanctioned SPRM NFA decision on the Jabatan Air Negri Sabah incident without spilling a drop of the coffee I was drinking...either in anger at the audacity of it all or at the "courage" of Najib and the head of SPRM to come up with such a statement. Neither was I upset that the head of SPRM did not exercise some common sense and stood his ground....and said "NO...I will not do so"...but he did not! He has mouths to feed, probably mortgages and hire purchases to take care of and his pension to think about.
So how?
First I resolved to finish my coffee. Then, I told myself, I will sit down to write this piece and tell myself.....another day ...another nail in Najib's coffin. This is how najib will commit Harikiri ....not by slicing open his stomach with a dagger and moving the dagger from right to left to slice open his stomach and let his intestine spill out onto a tray ...and then have some one decapitate him to ensure a a swift death to restore lost honour...
No no no...not for Najib!
He long ago cast honour to the winds.
He commits Harikiri by tiny pin pricks onto his body...and each time he does so, he draws blood....and the more he does this ..the more he nears death for the human body can only lose so much blood before it dies on itself. The 2.6billion donation did not kill him. Neither did FGV or 1MDB.....but his life is ebbing away.....and soon he will be dead...of this I am sure. Politcally dead. Politically irrelevant. A political dodo consigned to be with the dogs....the very same dogs who he now feeds with copious amounts of dedak!
Kita tunggu aja. - Hussein Abdul Hamid@steadyaku47
