Blankfein meeting was to get Najib kids Goldman jobs, 1MDB jury told

The star witness in the bribery trial of former Goldman Sachs Group Inc banker Roger Ng testified that ex-Goldman chief Lloyd Blankfein met in 2009 with then Malaysian prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak just ahead of big bond deals for the country’s 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) fund — and that the meeting came with an agenda. In return for the lucrative business, Goldman was to get Najib’s three children jobs at the bank, former Southeast Asia chairman Tim Leissner told the jury on Tuesday (Feb 22) in his second day of testimony about the 1MDB scheme.
