Maybe it's just me, but when the original Post article said that Low isn't spending his own money and his friend from Kuwait took the credit, I assumed the mystery was over. Especially, if you consider that rich Middle Eastern businessmen have been flying starlets around and renting time with beautiful women for at least, three or four decades. All in all, the whole thing sounded like a bad cliche.
@raincoaster: OK, but there are actually very few places where a photocopier salesman from Milwaukee is considered a "rich Middle Eastern businessman."
@trucha: I believe the chubby one is Kim Jong-Nam (unless there's more than one), and here's a video of a recent "interview" with him: [news.bbc.co.uk]#jholow
@Claire Buoyant: I think they are all chubby, but here is where I read about Jong-un a while back.
"The chef worked in Kim Jong Il’s kitchens for 20 years and in his memoirs describes Kim Jong Un as pleasant, overweight, capable of holding his drink and a fan of the US basketball player Michael Jordan."
@trucha: The Nammer has/had a mole on his chin (his left side). Hard to tell but it doesn't look like our Jho Low here is sporting a mole. (Enlargeable photo please) #jholow
So ... they send this guy out to do the partying for them? I'm not understanding how the puzzle pieces of this article are meant to be put together. #jholow
@skt.smth: The idea is that Jho Low parties with an entourage; one of the entourage is actually the moneybags who chooses which starlet he wants to meet today, and they just put out that Jho Low is the big shot of the group.
@BaldwinPeriphetes: Yeah. The William Hung-like fellow looks non-threatening, while those guys in the shadows might actually scare away the prospects. #jholow
@BaldwinPeriphetes: I'm still not buying it. How does Jho Low know this (or these) "hard" guy/s in the first place? It seems to me that, if the dude were Russian, we'd just assume he was heir to an oil fortune or something and move on. Why does Jho Low have to be involved in gun-running (or be the front for a guy who is)? Because he's Malaysian, and a Malaysian can't possibly have enough money to club like that? #jholow
I would like to be hyper rich just to contrast with these people by living normally. And by normally I mean eating my take-out in front of the TV in my luxury submarine. #nightlife
Taek Jho Low? If memory serves me correctly, stock recommendations weren't his strong point. See, for example, his waxing lyrical about the value of Infinity Broadcasting shares, based largely on the involvement of founder and CEO, Mel Karmazin... [media.www.whartonjournal.com]
Karmazin resigned less than two months later due to quibbles with Viacom antediluvian corporate overlord (TM Mark Lisanti), Sumner Redstone. #nightlife
@son of spam: HAH! Didn't see that one. Well, he clearly didn't make his money on the stock market.
Psst. Hear he's got the word on a once-in-a-lifetime investment opportunity with a NY high-flyer. Goes by the name of Bernie something-or-other. But keep it on the quiet, son o'spam. Don't want the whole world to know.

Just by writing his name you have signed your warrant. The First Rule of Horny Billionaires Club is: Don't let people write about Horny Billionaires Club. #nightlife
Clearly, this man is a fop and a dandy, all of which I can forgive. (I got my Ph.D in foppery and dandiness.) What I cannot bear is a charlatan, and this man, claiming to be French, is obviously a charlatan--where in God's name is his beret? His clove cigarette?
We need a Marshall Plan II, to send to suffering mademoiselles our bountiful surplus with nary an expectation of personal gain.
Not grain or loans, of course. I'm referring to their pubic hair shortage. #media

Rumored to be chubby and according to Wikipedia: "To date, only one known image of Kim Jong-un exists, taken when he was eleven." #jholow
