They don't get to walk away from criminal prosecution.
If GS refuses to pay, the best they can do is ban them from the country. What else can they do, seriously?
But fraud is fraud, Malaysia can sue them in good, old, USA. Who thinks that GS, the paragon of integrity, behaved correctly, raise their hands. Right, zero hands.
Goldman Sachs did have to pay 5.1B for the Great Recession scams [1].
As long as GS can keep the "financial innovation" in Malaysia they will probably pay it after trying to reduce it, if they can't gain from it further in the future they won't.
