Posing as Chan (left), Leissner used the accounts to have various conversations with Simmons (pictured on right with Leissner). The email correspondences showed he routinely declined Simmons' invitations for Chan and her children to vacation with the former model and her family in Paris, Austria and on a private Caribbean island. The ex-banker also admitted in court last month that he faked divorce documents to marry Simmons, 46, in 2014 while he was still married to Chan, a former analyst at Goldman and the daughter of a coal-mining business owner in China. Chan's family also owns the nation's top winery and a slew of other businesses. He alleges his former colleague conspired with him to help Malaysian financier Joh Low embezzle $4.5billion in funds from Malaysian government development fund 1MDB in a 'brazen' scam and divert the money to fund their lavish lifestyle.
