Tim Leissner (center) struck a plea deal with the government but is still being raked over the coals in court. He was “ married to two different women at the same time – twice.” The attorney also accused Leissner of forging documents including divorce papers and of having sexual relations with Jasmine Loo Ai Swan, formerly the general counsel for 1MDB who received a $5 million transfer from the fund. “Tim Leissner uses people,” Agnifilo said in court on Feb.
