Real estate tycoon Truong My Lan was sentenced Thursday to death by a court in Ho Chi Minh City in southern Vietnam in the country’s largest financial fraud case ever, state media Vietnam Net said.
The 67-year-old chair of the real estate company Van Thinh Phat was formally charged with fraud amounting to $12.5 billion — nearly 3% of the country’s 2022 GDP.
Lan illegally controlled Saigon Joint Stock Commercial Bank between 2012 and 2022 and allowed 2,500 loans that resulted in losses of $27 billion to the bank, reported state media VnExpress. The court asked her to compensate the bank $26.9 million. More

Hey! That gives me an idea!
Good, I hate those guys. Just kidding. What did he do?
The Vietnamese commies don’t mess around in punishing criminals, even white-collar criminals any more than the Chicoms do.
That gives ME an idea, too!
My scion Beau died buying reel stake in Vinneam. No joke, he was protectin the…th…anyway…them Vinnemam gals sure are small!

Oh yeah, that Trump guy causing Vinam to sell all their buildings to him. Well get that guy and end his global warning, my word as a…an…you know, the thing!
This might have traumatized some of their young fighting age males. We need to fly them over here and take care of them until they feel strong enough to take over.
Me fraud you long time.
Obviously, some group didn’t get their cut.

C’mon man! Where’s my 10 micent?
Obviously if Truong My Lan, the defendant tells anybody “Me love you long time”, she is lying.
Don’t embezzle, don’t die. It’s that simple.
Sounds like a great solution to a festering problem over here. You’d only see realtors, lawyers, and bankers affected. Exactly the class of folk who need a cleansing, and I don’t mean with a bran muffin. Of course…who’ll prosecute them given the bribes they’ll lavish on prosecutors?
Why didn’t I think of that?
Van Thinh Phat. You can’t make this stuff up.
