Roger Ng a former Goldman Sachs banker charged in connection with the 1MDB scandal is getting a smaller ankle bracelet.
This will allow him to jog more comfortably and judge Margo Brodie in a Brooklyn court allowed his request.
He claimed his ankle monitor was too big and Federal prosecutors objected to the smaller ankle monitor.
They were arguing that the former head of investment banking for Goldman Sachs in Malaysia could become a greater flight risk.
Lawyers for Roger Ng says the “cumbersome and heavy nature” of the GPS monitoring device made it uncomfortable for Ng to run.
While he jobs, the device constantly streamed Ng’s location to authorities. His lawyers also told the judge jogging is his preferred method of exercise.
