I think that the mention of the billions from Malaysia relates to the story covered in the "Billion Dollar Whale". I really recommend that book.
Many celebrities ended up involved, and it's a story that wouldn't be believed if it were fiction.
At the center of the tale is Jho Low, the wild-spending financier who burst onto the scene in 2013 by backing “The Wolf of Wall Street,” Scorsese and DiCaprio’s $100 million look at financial fraud and bacchanalian excess. As Low’s influence in Hollywood grew, scores of celebrities partied on his private jet, drank his Cristal and accepted his lavish gifts (DiCaprio landed a $3.2 million Picasso and a $9 million Basquiat), at least until his elaborate embezzlement scheme unraveled and he became a fugitive.
For an entertaining read on this whole ordeal, read the Billion Dollar Whale. I just finished it, it's quite a good read but eye opening the amount of corruption around the world.
I recently read Billion Dollar Whale (https://www.amazon.com/Billion-Dollar-Whale-Fooled-Hollywood...) which I enjoyed. It seemed to me to be surprisingly easy to launder money through shell companies like the ones listed here. I would speculate also that a company with many name changes would involved in some weird stuff.
