Tim Leissner (born November 2, 1969) is a German-born investment banker and convicted felon. As managing director at Goldman Sachs and chairman of the bank's Southeast Asia division Leissner helped orchestrate the 1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal, one of the biggest financial scandals in history, in which billions of dollars were stolen. He was arrested in June 2018 in Washington, D.C., forced to pay a $43 million fine. As of 2020, he faced up to 25 years in prison, but due to his cooperation has avoided spending any time in jail. On 29 May 2025 Leissner was sentenced to two years in Federal prison.
