Vietnam tycoon Truong My Lan sentenced to death in $12.5bn fraud case 

If this was India, the billionaire would have ran to Europe or some Rich Western Country. In USA, the billionaires can become influential politicians.

In Indonesia, in a corruption case like this, initially, she was given the death sentence. After a few months, it was changed to a life sentence, and then, after a few more months, it was reduced to just three years. 🤦‍♂

ALWAYS SORRY AFTER they are caught. NEVER a hint of remorse before they are caught. Typical criminal.

We need these verdicts here in the US. The woman works decades and they take everything from her. Just horrible!

3% of gdp is a lot, she even manage to did it without being a dictator

We need this in America

If My Lan were conducting biz in Indonesia, she would have full support of the generals, ministers, and the parliament. Guaranteed

AT LEAST VIETNAM know what to do with white collar crime. The US and England just give them 10 years and the criminals get to keep all the money.

america needs the same justice

she forgot the most important part of her corrupt business..DON'T GET CAUGHT !

Our corrupt industrialists should also follow suit

In USA, they serve a couple years then get a million dollar book deal.

some people on here saying something about having compassion and humanity with regards to the death sentence...compassion for who? for the people who stole hard earned money from hardworking people without remorse? if death sentence is truly their answer to the problem, i hope the people get their money first. I agree with the lady in the video (dont care what happens to the criminal, just as long as they get back their life savings). My compassion goes for the victims of the crime

She's prosecuted because Vietnamese property market crashed...otherwise she's a star.

Stealing the poors pity them

May this become trend everywhere.

Corruption is everywhere.. but the question is can any country out there send a billionaire to death? As we all know vietnam that we called corrupt and communist

If this is implemented in Indonesia. Generals, ministers, MPs, all will have their heads roll. Corrupt event at the lowest level

The problem for that old lady her money is gone she won't get back.

In Indonesia ms. Truong is free to go anywhere lol.

All these reports are from 2 weeks ago. A death sentence? Not for money. If this woman did anything wrong then time in jail is appropriate. To execute this woman would be an atrocity. It must not happen.

We Westerners should not gloat or mock about corruption and bribery are Asian thing, or poor country thing. Corruption and bribery have ALWAYS been around, including here in the West. Human behavior involving greed is intrinsic. Once you becoming rich, you get really defensive about protecting your wealth and building on it, even by illegitimate means. Bribery to expand your manufacturing company, to overlook regulation violation. If you can't bribe your way, you hire lawyers to LOBBY to change laws to favor your industry or company. Poor countries use bribery, Western countries use lobby to change tax and finance laws. Our American billionaires lower their tax obligation by donating money to non-profit organizations that they create and disburse money to their own causes, mostly to the charities owned by their children and grandchildren, with the owner as joint owner. Even 200-400 years ago royal families change law to take land from the farmers, then use those same farmers to work on the land that they lost. The royal families will then give bits and bits of land to their family members to build a protective layer of dependents that change the law to protect their collective wealth. Western billionaires bribe our government through the lobby mechanism to steal billions of dollars from our treasury, defund programs that benefit low and middle class people such as infrastructure rebuilding, primary and secondary school improvement, affordable tertiary education and health care. They take billions then dole out couple of millions as charity to cover their track and buy positive P.R. Then they wonder why the mass hate them, and at some point, they will ask why we burn their companies and castles down. Have you wondered why different countries are sharing the same symptom of apathy if not class struggles and anger? It doesn't matter what nation or culture or religion you are looking at, the world share the same problem of expanding gap in income, wealth, opportunities, health and justice.

What will it be? Hanging, electric chair?

What would happen to the government officials who’s taken the bribery ?

It’s well known by locals that your money will be gone if you put it in the bank.

She won't send to death. Corrupt people will send her to other countries and hide for life. She can do plastic cosmetic surgery. Cash is King.

There's nothing similar to SOX there?

What kind of system allows this to happen for 11 years?

My respect. We need this Law and judges in USA

What happened to accomplices?

Where is the money?

If that is in Pakistan she would have been even made a prime minister. TRUONG MY LAN"S humble beginnings and hard work is actually something to learn and emulate, GREED AND POWER GOT THE BETTER OF HER as her business grew each year. I just feel sorry for the ordinary people.

I so wish this can come to South Africa.

Oh my, that poor lady. She will never get her money back

A lost soul living out her last days before her inevitable descent into the eternally dark abyss of shrieking, agony and pain for which she was destined

The total amount of fraud amounted to 44 billion USD, equal to the total GDP of neighboring countries Laos and Cambodia combined. (2023) and about 10% of Vietnam's GDP (Vietnam's GDP in 2023 is 440 billion USD)

We sure instilled American values in that country. Looking for sucess in any country?

Greed Greed Greed...overcomes what is right and what is wrong.

RISKS = CORRUPTION = NO INVESTMENTS = $0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 = MONEY GONE

How will death sentence in financial fraud case help victims? She should be made to pay money to victims.

40 billion not 12

Why? What’s the price you pay? Was it worth the effort? A lesson to all, always be honest with your dealings with money

Expecting an explanation from cold fusion.

Sie ist 67, was macht da die Todesstrafe für ein Sinn?

I think she is Heist. She heist SCB Vietnam in HCMC

Usa uk and germany will grow if they do this

Go big or go home. She tried to achieve equality with all the men in one attempt

Great they gave her a harsh sentence but nothing happens to the people who took bribes?

Here in the Philippines those who steal govt funds by the millions or billions are very lucky ones they are even investigated by congress n senate but after that nobody was send to jail or the stoled money never rsturned to the govt the politicians loved them n idolized them bcoz there are 320 congressmen i congress n 24 senators in senate and not one of them got the courage to file n pass the Death penalty law on plunder economic sabotage 25M to be punishable by public hanging o firing squad but the law is very harsh on the SR citizen who picked up a mango ang he was sent jail immediately thats the grim reality in the Philippines

Yikes

Dear god what if businesses follow the law oh no how terrible for them

APPEAL! Death for money is insane.

Perioddddd

Same in china if you murdered someone or ordering a murder is death sentence.

Where are the American investors... You know g.i. isn't far behind and was in on the take IYKYK

Neanwhile Sam Bankman-Fried is getting 25 years.

GG VIETNAM

Mark my word, she will be free without no one noticing :)

If she had been black african she would have bought the judges and entered politics and won elections 😢

The only what you can do Vietnam court is to congratulations this woman that she find a way how to get big amount that's all and money never disappear money is always in place encircle so the sentence this woman for death penalty this is full of bullshit you should learn from this smart woman how she did this and nobody look after her

She contribute to the development of Vietnam and now she gets the death sentence. Makes you think twice about being a tycoon in Vietnam. How many tycoons don't bribe the politicians. We just call it donation.

All You internet keyboard lawyer and wanna be politicians...Look at the USA! 100 billion in Cali for rail...not even 1/4 start...165 billion to Ukraine and counting...FTx...billion triple...and you guy believes in Vietnam court...lol

$12,000,000,000.00, that's some change, even if it's Dong... And the Vietnamese inveterately claim total autonomy from China, that crime and judgment seemed pretty Chinese to me! Chinese Ghost City and Ghost Mall developers, lookout! Sleep tight!

Communism ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Their lawyers should be asked for acquittal and not the death penalty, that's nonsense. and Vietnam should learn something from this woman because only a smart woman can do something and this woman is not stupid the only thing Vietnam court can do is acquittal and leave her three million and confiscate the rest that's the end of the discussion. just to conclude Money never disappears Money is always and forever our companion in good or bad so I would say acquittal for this woman, she must have a high IQ

😂,😅😅 mai gua , uuh pan wau , BUKU , OS TO BUKU MONEY She loves that investors long long time .😅😅😂

JUSTICE IS SERVE TO HER.. MORAL LESSON DONT BE SO GREEDYYYY SHARE YOUR BLESSING TO OTHER LIKE ROBINHOOD DID
