Former Goldman Sachs Managing Director Roger Ng was sentenced Thursday to 10 years in prison for his role in the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) fraud scandal.
Ng was found guilty by a federal jury in April 2022 of conspiring to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and commit money laundering.
