Back in May, Red Granite Pictures forfeited $57 million. That money was sent back to Malaysia and put into an account set up for the recovery of the $4.5 billion that was stolen from the 1MDB fund.

The former Prime Minister Razak and his wife Rosmah Mansor have both been charged by authorities in Malaysia in connection with the 1MDB scandal that brought down Razak's government in 2018. He is charged with money laundering, breach of trust, and abuse of power. His wife is charged with money laundering and tax evasion.

The missing funds fueled the lavish lifestyles of Razak's family, Riza Aziz, and their friend Jho Lo, according to the U.S. Justice Department which is also investigating the missing money.

To sum it up, money went missing from 1MDB, a Malaysian government fund. Then much of it was spent in an enormous global shopping spree. Some of the money was used to finance The Wolf of Wall Street. The stolen funds were also used to buy influence in Hollywood and the feds are looking to take back the rights to Dumb and Dumberer To and Daddy's Home, as well as a 1927 lithograph by Heinz Shulz-Neudamm for the 1927 silent film Metropolis.
