Vietnamese billionaire Truong My Lan sentenced to death in largest-ever fraud case | DW News

Vietnamese businesswoman and billionaire tycoon Truong My Lan has been sentenced to death for financial fraud in her native Vietnam. The state-controlled newspaper Thanh Nien reports that a court in Ho Chi Minh City handed down the sentence against the 67-year-old, who was found guilty of embezzlement, bribery and breaching banking regulations as chairwoman of property developer Van Thinh Phat Holdings Group. She is alleged to have obtained around €11.6 billion through fraud. This is equivalent to almost three per cent of Vietnam's gross domestic product (GDP). It is the largest case of financial fraud in the country's history.

    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.

    The death threat is an incentive to uncover where the remaining money is hidden and who are among the bribed officials. This case is blown wide open as it's about 10 % of the country GDP. It will be interesting to see who else is involved.

  • @kevbrown1867

    Not sure if the case was broadcast live everyday but if it was I would like to see a clear explanation of where they get these numbers from . When she was first arrested the numbers talked about were 40 million USD but when the court case got close it went up to 12.5 billion and during the case 30 billion and 44 billion was thrown out in the open . Where did they get those numbers did they pull out of a hat ? Numbers are important you need the exact numbers when somebody’s head is on the chopping block otherwise it is a sham court case . She obviously is corrupt but you can’t do business in Vietnam without bribing someone it is part of every day life so obviously a large corporation has to grease some palms . All the money she took was for buying real estate and she has a habit of buying property sitting on it a while then flipping it for a profit.Once she got her profit for sure she would have paid back the banks .The problem came when the police decided to arrest her and there was a run on the bank and obviously like any bank in the world if everyone wants to take their money out at the same time there isn’t enough . The now CEO of SCB that is still in business actually said Lan owes the bank 30 billion causing another run on the bank and again where did he come up with all these numbers . At no time in their history did SCB bank have 30 billion in assets Lan probably does have money stashed away she was named in the Panamá papers so the government probably trying to scare her with inflated numbers and the death penalty but making up insane numbers that she could never pay doesn’t give her a reason to pay back anything . In the past with such cases if the person repaid all the lost money they would get out of jail .Death penalty would be better than life in prison in Vietnam and she probably has made sure her daughter in Hong Kong is looked after . It is an interesting story with different angles first she is ethnic Chinese and the Vietnamese hate China and the news always liked to point the fact out she is Chinese even though she was born in Vietnam. Another strange thing is soon after she was arrested 3 people close to her mysteriously died were they silenced and by who ? There is also the fact that her husband was related to a very high level Chinese government leader and then rumours about the previous President of Vietnam being poisoned. So this would definitely make a good Hollywood movie . For sure this will put a damper on foreign investment in Vietnam most of which come from neighbouring Asian Countries it shows what a major gamble it is doing business in Vietnam and you could end up losing everything including your head .
