This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Alex Ritman (January 30, 2023). "Corruption Scandals, Fugitives and On-Set Strife: How History Caught Up With 'Emancipation' Producer Joey McFarland". The Hollywood Reporter. Archived from the original on February 4, 2023. Retrieved February 4, 2023. Interestingly, McFarland's Wikipedia entry is very light on references to Red Granite or the corruption scandal, mentioning once that he was "vice chairman of Red Granite Pictures" and containing a solitary line about the 1MDB scandal that notes how in 2019 he "voluntarily" surrendered "luxury goods" traced to stolen funds. Low doesn't appear at all, his name (and mentions of his ties to McFarland) having been removed in edits made in 2020.

McFarland and 1MDB[edit]

In BLP's we stay far away from discussing crimes that are alleged, and haven't been proven. Please see this: People accused of a crime. All the more so when he hasn't even been accused officially of any crime. The fact that is former partner was, or that Red Granite MIGHT have been funded in part with ill-gotten funds, should be the subject of another article. These types of statements are not NPOV and should be avoided, as stated above, by the guidelines for BLPs. The sources do not support, at all, that McFarland was friends with or associated with Jho Low, so please leave him out of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.92.136.119 (talk) 11:16, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
