Despite concerns raised by Business intelligence, Compliance and FWCC members, Goldman continued with the transactions, bank transfers and bribery scheme. Along the way, senior managers ignored or failed to follow up on serious concerns. After the bond deals were completed, and as increased press attention and red flags uncovered, internal phone calls among Goldman's executives focused on serious bribery concerns and misconduct. Goldman failed to investigate these concerns or perform any internal review. High-ranking employees failed to escalate concerns, despite being required to do so under existing policies and procedures. Goldman executives were involved in several internal phone calls in which employees reported bribery concerns and disparate treatment and review of the 1MDB transactions versus other Goldman deals. Goldman executives ignored these reports and brushed them aside.
