7kbw has maintained an enviable reputation and experience in all aspects of insurance and reinsurance; shipping and transport; civil fraud; professional negligence; international trade and commodities; energy, oil and gas; agency; injunctions and arrests; shipbuilding; sale of goods; banking and financial services; futures and derivatives; aviation; media and communications; construction; conflicts of law; and international investment. The allegations centre on a close friend and former colleague of ag michael lauber, rené brülhart, whose private investigation company apparently received payments of 2.5 million euros from petrosaudi, as recently as 2016-17 when the company was under investigation by the swiss authorities. Their company cpven was subcontracted to manage all the drilling work for the petrosaudi adventurers (who had no clue how to run an oil operation).

However, brown claimed that now she has some 3 million emails detailing this crime, in which petrosaudi international was an engaged party in her possession. When the pdvsa negotiators attempted to put in further break clauses on the contract petrosaudi legal counsel aggressively refused, saying the drill ship's daily fee must be guaranteed.

Now, the swiss newspaper tribune de geneve has scooped a story about jho's associates tarek obaid and patrick mahony, who were tarek of 1mdb joint venture partner petrosaudi, that will make life uncomfortable for the country's attorney general, who until recently claimed considerable credit for vigorously prosecuting the 1mdb scandal.

After six months, 1mdb disposed its entire 40% stake in the jv for us$1.2bil worth of islamic debt papers issued by petrosaudi international ltd. So, the company that had brought no cash to its venture with 1mdb then placed $120 million of malaysia's 1mdb's cash into its venture with venezuela's pdvsa as an upfront loan. Petrosaudi has developed a reputation as a partner of choice, working in alliances with major international oil companies.

The asset valuation report prepared by edward l. Morse was submitted on sept 29, 2009, which was the same date of confirmation of his appointment by 1mdb chief executive officer, and received one day after the jv agreement was signed. There were hopes the petrosaudi bid was an opening move towards a massive saudi investment into venezuelan oil extraction infrastructure, which in turn might bring further opportunities within saudi arabia, thanks to petrosaudi's pitch.

Sarawak report had earlier this year reported that low taek jho had orchestrated the entire deal so that he could use petrosaudi as a front to siphon us$700 million from 1mdb. On september 28, 2009 the jv agreement was signed between 1mdb and petrosaudi holdings (cayman) ltd. Petrosaudi, it appears then decided to exercise their letter of credit in order to get back the $130 million agreed under the saturn contract.
