  • A Vietnamese property developer was sentenced to death on Thursday for looting one of the country's largest banks over a period of 11 years.
    Truong My Lan was convicted for taking out $44bn (£35bn) in loans from the Saigon Commercial Bank.
    Prosecutors said $27bn may never be recovered.
    Authorities said 2,700 people were summoned to testify, while 10 state prosecutors and around 200 lawyers were involved.
    The evidence was in 104 boxes weighing a total of six tonnes.
    Eighty-five defendants were tried with Truong My Lan, who denied the charges.

    Long story short, for those who don't really understand this case : In vietnam, each individual is not allowed to own more than 5% share of a bank. Truong My Lan built up multiple ghost companies, each of the companies she own invested in the bank, own a total of 93% share, making her the anonymous owner of it. She also bribed some politician so that she can easily take all the amount of CASH from the bank whenever she want without being caught. The total amount of money she took from it is worth 44 billions dollar but in cash, it's literally just bank robbery without being noticed by the authorities. That's why she being sentenced to death

    I am Vietnamese and to summarize this world-wide case as follows, it notes that Truong My Lan is a woman of Chinese descent, and she is not the only one in charge of this case but she had an agent behind her to plan and carry out this embezzlement for 11 years.
    Basically, she manipulated the bank and countless related parties with the money that people save in the bank, to lend without collateral and without needing to collect debt, like calling out for project investment and then taking the that capital to create more and more projects and then she laundered the money and sent that large amount of money to Switzerland.
    She owns a huge of real money that can be easily used directly which are not share and virtual money , so this is called a massive case in the world.
    When it doesn't mention about her criminal charge, her mind is extremely out of this world.

Without those Vietnamese officials from the top involved, she wouldn’t be able to do that much. But those Vietnamese officials don’t face the same death penalty.
