Goldman's ongoing 1MDB scandal - Reputation and outlook?

Hi all, I've been fortunate to receive a couple of S&T summer internship offers in Asia(HK/SG) and I currently find myself leaning towards GS as I really liked the team I interviewed with.

Is it wise to take an offer given the ongoing scandal implicating GS's Asia offices? Will conversion chances look sub-optimal as a result? Hoping to get some advice from experienced professionals in Asia.

Thanks in advance.
