The U.S. Justice Department filed forfeiture complaints Thursday seeking to recover $540 million in assets, part of the estimated $4.5 billion stolen in a massive global money laundering scheme that stretched from Malaysia to Hollywood.
The complaints seek the forfeiture of Red Granite Pictures’ interest in the movies “Dumb and Dumber To” and “Daddy’s Home,” a condominium in New York City worth nearly $5 million, diamond jewelry, artworks by Pablo Picasso and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and a $260 million megayacht called The Equanimity.
