      You can pass it, when you hire newly graduates, or those who is just as blind as the rest of the leaders. And maybe this is one of those situation that, "needed to be created".. but the law sided with the people. So down she goes ? It sounds very political...

      Auditors are here not to find something wrong in the balance sheets. The thing is that you do not understand what auditors are for. They are not fraud investigators. Auditors can not check their balance in a bank. If you say you have 3 billion dollars in US federal bonds they can not check it up. Even law enforcement would need a judge's permission. They are here to ensure that numbers are done correctly, that everything is valued correctly etc. Without them, most of financial fraud would end up with: "Ooh sorry, we did not steal anything, our Indian intern just only valued AT1 bonds badly."

    "Every 1 percent unemployment goes up, 40,000 people die." That's not just 40000 deaths but 40000 broken families and multiples of ruined lives.
    Theft of a large enough scale should be recognized as the atrocity that it is. It is an act of pitiless economic violence against the working class, no different than if a country decided to enact economic sanctions against another country to starve their civilians.

You cannot use PPP GDP figures in situations like this as the fraud amount is a real 44bn, not 44bn equivalent in purchasing power. So her crime is even more severe and damaging for the country than the video states.

Of course there is always the risk of a "black" operation by the government but that's not so simple (especially if she chose the right country) and there's private security.

Her company started plotting the embezzlement around the 2010s, which was when we had a very incompetent, greedy, and corrupt prime minister who single-handedly plunged our economy, giving her the first step to do all of this. Other than that, I can say that, on some level, our government actually cares about the people.
    Also, thank you for mentioning Nguyen Phu Trong. He wasn't just a powerful figure; he was beloved by the people, which is something we can't often say about politicians anywhere. He brought hope back to the people, and it's been a long time since we've wholeheartedly trusted our government.

I see, you are a communist and since you choose, that's the entire country's choice. Tell you what, I am a foreigner who traveled Vietnam extensively and talked with many Vietnamese both domestic and overseas include those who are here in the US (on business/school/temporary visa,...). Many would be so happy if they were given an opportunity to make a choice like you said whether the country should be communist or not. Since you are so logical, rational in your argument, ask yourself honestly sincerely whether the Vietnamese people are entitled to the fundamentally, biologically inalienable right to choose the governance system they live in. If you are so confident that a majority of people would vote for communism, then why not do it for real for the world to see and justify the communist mandate? Even if, say 60% of people choose communist, does that mean 60% have the right to impose their will on the 40% minority? Are you familiar with Alexis de Tocqueville's notion "tyranny of the majority?" Do you know the difference between such an Athenian democracy versus a constitutional republic? I would not have bothered a reply, if it weren't for my heart aching for so many Vietnamese right now who languish under "your chosen communism" and long for freedom and democracy. Think about it. If you love your country, you must love your people, and if you love your people, you must listen to them and let them own the country, not the party.

    i still remember the day when one of my Vietnamese friends walked into the office smiling/laughing saying that her dad became a billionaire. when asked, she said, he is a Vietnamese billionaire, meaning, he now finally had $25000 USD

    Truong My Lan was given the death penalty over a life sentence because of her defiance in court.
    She maintained throughout the entire trial, while looking at the evidence, that she did nothing wrong.
    Vietnamese women are stubborn like this, it's a cultural thing.
    Problem for her was that she forgot how to turn off this cultural programming to save herself (review other cases to see that they can switch, in a pinch, to save themselves).
    Prior to blazing furnace, there are other examples, like Ocean Bank, that had the same outcome.
