How Leonardo DiCaprio's Wolf Of Wall Street Role Connected Him To A Criminal Investigation

Besides Prakazrel “Pras” Michel, Jho Low has a lot of connections in the Hollywood industry. The disgraced financier briefly dated model Miranda Kerr, and he grew close to DiCaprio. And because Low allegedly used embezzled money to invest in “The Wolf of Wall Street,” the film’s star was ordered to answer questions about his relationship with Low and testify against Michel.

“I understood him to be a huge businessman with many different connections in Abu Dhabi and Malaysia,” he said, per AP, adding that he carefully researched Low and his business before agreeing to anything, and indicating that he was under the impression the financier was a legitimate investor. “I was given the green light by my team as well as my studio. He was a legitimate business person wanting to invest in the movie.”

The actor also talked about how the financier was planning to help fund the reelection campaign of former president Barack Obama. “It was a significant sum — something to the tune of $20-30 million,” DiCaprio testified. “I said, ‘Wow that’s a lot of money!'” Although the case against Michel may be a recent happening, people seemed to be aware of Low’s schemes earlier on.
