DAP lawmaker [Tony Pua](http://says.com/my/news/lester-melanyi-reveals-truth-about-sarawak-report-and-1mdb) also made it to the list when he was stopped by the immigration at low-cost carrier terminal KLIA2 yesterday at 3.15pm.
On 20 July, Malaysia woke up to an exposé by The Edge which claimed that the evidence it had put together showing various transactions between 1MDB and PetroSaudi International were nothing but a scheme to cheat RM6.9 billion from Malaysia
The Edge Financial Daily says businessman Low Taek Jho and PetroSaudi International conspired to cheat Malaysia of over US$1 billion through 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).

The Edge, currently being investigated by Malaysian authorities for its previous articles on 1MDB, named Jho Low, Tarek Obaid and Patrick Mahony, abetted by a few 1MDB top executives, as the people behind the scam which started in 2009 with an initial USD1 billion investment by 1MDB that grew to USD1.83 billion by 2011
In analysing "who got what", The Edge claims as follows:
In a note to readers, The Edge's publisher said the media outlet had a public duty to report the alleged scam. He said this was likely to be its last report on the matter and it would be handing over whatever it had to the agencies investigating 1MDB. "How can what we have done be deemed as a political conspiracy?" he asked.

In response to the exposé by The Edge, 1MDB was surprised by recycled, unproven allegations:
On 21 July, The Edge said, writing in an editorial, it is prepared to go to court to defend its articles related to 1MDB and Jho Low. It also offered to provide documents to government investigators.
Ho Kay Tat, Publisher and Group CEO of The Edge, says there is nothing wrong:
"As a media group, we believe we have a public duty to do, no matter how difficult and dangerous it may be for us. Meeting contacts to gather information is what media professionals do all the time in pursuit of a story. There is nothing wrong or sinister," the Group CEO said in a Facebook post following their front-page report on 1MDB.
Ho Kay Tat further said:
