How much did Goldman Sachs raise for 1MDB, and how much was allegedly stolen?

Question

Accepted Answer

Goldman Sachs Raised US$6.5 Billion for 1MDB, with US$2.7 Billion Allegedly Stolen

Goldman Sachs raised a total of US$6.5 billion for 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). Prosecutors allege that US$2.7 billion of these funds were stolen by a Malaysian financier and two former Goldman Sachs bankers.
Funds Raised for 1MDB

Goldman Sachs arranged three bond issuances for 1MDB. The total amount raised through these transactions was US$6.5 billion, comprising two bonds in 2012 and another in 2013.
Alleged Diversion of Funds

Malaysian prosecutors contend that a significant portion of the US$6.5 billion raised was misappropriated. Specifically, allegations suggest that US$2.7 billion was siphoned off by a Malaysian financier and two former employees of Goldman Sachs.
Financial Impact and Legal Actions

Beyond the funds allegedly stolen, Malaysia is seeking compensation from Goldman Sachs. Putrajaya announced in December that it is pursuing up to US$7.5 billion in compensation related to the scandal. This figure includes the US$6.5 billion linked to the two 1MDB bonds and an additional US$1 billion intended to cover the "excessive" US$600 million in fees paid to Goldman Sachs and the higher-than-market-rate coupons on three bonds. In December, criminal charges were also filed against Goldman Sachs subsidiaries in Malaysia concerning the three bonds handled for 1MDB.
