A rising star at Morgan Stanley just nabbed a big promotion at the New York investment bank, according to a memo reviewed by Business Insider.

He joined the bank after graduating college in 1990, and has quickly risen through the ranks.

Notably, Pick helped revive the firm's fixed-income business, according to the memo penned by chief executive James Gorman and Colm Kelleher, the president of the bank.

A $4.5 billion corruption scandal allegedly linked to a Goldman Sachs exec is coming to an end

Malaysian police have issued an arrest warrant for Jho Low, the fugitive financier they believe is at the center of a corruption scandal that syphoned $4.5 billion from Malaysia's sovereign wealth fund, according to Reuters.

Low was last seen in Hong Kong but is believed to have fled to nearby Macau by ferry, according to the South China Morning Post.

Goldman earned $600 million in fees from the sale of bonds for the fund, called 1MDB.
