In July this year, the U.S. Department of Justice announced an investigation into Malaysian sovereign investment fund 1MDB, which was suspected of laundering $3.5 billion in the United States, and a considerable part of the production funds for Xiao Li's highly successful work The Wolf of Wall Street in 213 came from 1MDB. Xiao Li was mentioned twice in the prosecution documents of the U.S. Department of Justice. The latter won the Golden Globe Award for The Wolf of Wall Street. In his acceptance speech, he thanked Joey, Ruiz and Liu Tezuo, three founders of Hongyan Film, and 1MDB invested money for The Wolf of Wall Street through Hongyan Film. Liu Tezuo was also the core figure in the money laundering case.

It is worth mentioning that Xiao Li and Liu Tezuo are strangers. Liu Tezuo has generously withdrawn millions of dollars for Xiao Li and others to gamble together in the casino. Previous reports from foreign media also said that the DiCaprio Foundation also has many contacts with 1MDB, which has donated millions of dollars to Xiao Li's foundation and given expensive gifts such as sky-high champagne and works of art.

A few days ago, the DiCaprio Foundation officially responded to this. A spokesman said: "In July this year, Mr. DiCaprio learned about this for the first time through the news reports of the government investigating the producers of The Wolf of Wall Street. He immediately contacted the Ministry of Justice through his agent to confirm whether he and the foundation have received gifts and charitable donations from relevant people, and if so, he will return them as soon as possible. " He stressed: "It was Mr. DiCaprio who contacted the Ministry of Justice first, and they will fully support the work of the Ministry of Justice."
