‘I was sidelined for blowing whistle’

Alex Turnbull claims he was sidelined from his position at a global bank after blowing the whistle on allegedly dodgy deals.

In 2012 and 2013, while the PM’s son was working in Singapore at Goldman Sachs, the organisation raised bonds for scandal-ridden Malaysian sovereign wealth fund 1MDB worth $US6 billion.

“When the 1MDB deal was done with Goldman I sent an email to some of my colleagues saying, ‘What the f..k is going on with this? The pricing is nuts, what is the use of funds?” he told The Australian. “And I got a talking-to by compliance.”

He said he was “B-tracked” as a result and later resigned from Goldman Sachs.
