(FILES) In this file photo taken the headquarters of Goldman Sachs is pictured on April 17, 2019 in New York City. – Global financial titan Goldman Sachs is preparing to admit wrongdoing in the massive 1MDB Malaysian bribery scandal and pay the US government $2.8 billion, The Wall Street Journal reported on October 20, 2020. The deal would end the criminal probe into the corruption case involving the Malaysian government’s investment fund, the newspaper reported, citing people familiar with the matter.An Asian subsidiary involved in the case is expected to plead guilty this week, allowing Goldman to avoid pleading guilty — a key development, as such a plea would damage its ability to do business, according to the report.
