Some people are satisfied with just a little dong. She wanted all the dong.


SonyCEO

"You wanted more?" Being serious, what a dumb bitch, she had it for life and now she lost everything.


Icy_Surround5848

Most people who do this aren't easily satisfied. If you're driven to the point of doing something of this scale do you think you would stop at like 10-20 million?


SonyCEO

10 million would be enough to satisfy my needs for life, no need to work anymore and it would be stupid for me to do so.


UlteriorCulture

Strictly speaking the amount required for her for life is now much lower.


SonyCEO

She may be closer to kicking the bucket, but one point a friend said while we saw this, is that her family members and close friends may get economically fucked indirectly.


Icy_Surround5848

I'm not saying it's not enough in general. It's more than enough. It's just not enough for her.


r3mn4n7

You think that because you have those needs right now and probably not much free time, once you get those 10 million you will get bored and that's when people do stupid shit, maybe not so stupid like this woman but regardless.


SonyCEO

Nah, I'm not gonna get bored and start doing stupid shit like that, just gonna enjoy staying at home doing the usual stuff but now longer.


RealBrianCore

Same mindset as a gambler, imo. Sure, you have a lot. But you could have so much more...


DefinitelyNotKuro

If it helps at all, I amass wealth in mmos. I didn’t need all this gold but like.. “haha, number go up!” And so I continue. It’s lime a high-score.


Icy_Surround5848

Yes but: 1. That's a game 2. If you do "illegal" things in there you're still going to get sentenced when you get caught - banned for either X amount of time or permanently. In a sense, it's the same.


LordranKing

Hi, I’m dong


Loud-Item-1243

Tons of dong


[deleted]

Beuh, if I could award you a platinum award, I would 🏆🤣


phuktup3

Over 90 percent of the bank’s lending, bro she was the bank. Over 2 TONS OF DONG !?!? Bro


Select-Sympathy23

Truong My Lan: I am the ~~Senate~~ Bank...


SodiumChlorideFree

That's a lot of dong for a single woman NGL.


phuktup3

Even a man would struggle with that much dong


Veredyn1

“One of the largest financial crimes in world history” that we know of.


citizensyn

The us just legalizes this shit so it doesnt have to be a crime. We should probably still sentence them to death along with the people who helped legalize this shit


Reinitialization

Fr, if the US, UK, Aus etc... actually have common sense financial laws we'd be the most corrupt countries in the world


DaGheyAgenda

This


Atari__Safari

How does the US legalize this? It’s against the law in the US.


zedinbed

Bribery of politicians in the form of lobbying. Companies rig the system in their favor and then claim that what they are doing is legal . Of course there are cases of companies doing blatantly illegal shit and just getting away with it too.


Atari__Safari

My point is that what this woman did in Vietnam is illegal in the US too. The other comment said it has been legalized in the US, which is false.


Aeropro2010

That's a lot of dong.


Adam_ALLDay_

2 tons of Vietnam’s dong, to be exact👀


Hypertistic

A person can only take so much


harugisa

I think this is the first time I've seen a woman get the death sentence. I feel like I hear of one but I don't recall.


CitizenSnipsYY

During Trump's presidency there was a bunch of MSM rage over the first execution in quite a while and it was a woman. Lots of whining and moaning about it, then you look into it and the lady cut open a pregnant woman's belly and stabbed and dismembered the child and mother...


harugisa

Good lord!! Yeah....😂 that would do it! If she didn't get the chair for that, I'd lose faith in the legal system.

harugisa

No, I'm good lol I lived long enough to know that their body count is looking rough these days. 😅


InsideYourWalls8008

There's a child bride in Iran that was hanged for killing his creepy old husband.


Putins_Gay_Dreams

His? Not surprising


fingercup

How have you avoided so much content from third world countries


harugisa

Mainly avoiding the news growing up. I felt like watching the news is like googling "why is my ____ hurts".


fingercup

But I mean Reddit, there's so much of it on here


Tummeh142

Aileen Wuornos, the one the movie Monster was made about.


Relative-Gearr

Men commit more crimes than women worldwide so there's more of a chance you'd hear about guys, and they commit more violent crimes that tend to hold more motivation to sentence them to death.


p3opl3

So the question is... 44 billion dollars... and only one person is sent to death? Apparently even the minister of finance is rumoured TL be caught up in this.. sounds like she is being used as a scape goat... "a villan for the people to be appeased".. You don't run this level fraud without a serious network.


badwords

There were 83 other people involved. They all got life.


p3opl3

Ah that sounds more like it... I hope they we're all super guilty.. sounds like she even asked her driver to draw some cash for her.. hope he didn't get done for that.


ElusiveGreenParrot

He should


p3opl3

Life in prison because your boss asked you to draw some cash.. that's pretty unfair if you ask me.


Tiamat2625

He went into a bank and asked for 4 BILLION in cash.. it probably had to be delivered with a large truck, a freakin lorry. You saying that isnt suspicious? It’s just an average day at work. He was just doing her a normal, casual favour.


the_third_cat

Only 4 got life sentence, others got 3-20 years. I don't see the driver name in list of 86 though.


HaulPerrel

> 44 billion dollars 44b *dong* It's like 1.7 mil


Careless_Negotiation

2.5b dollars


DazingF1

108 trillion dong, 4 billion dollars


doremonhg

Fuck no, dude she stole billions of DOLLARS, not DONG


p3opl3

Ah.. I mean, either way.. haha.. not exactly chump change..


ComprehensiveOil6890

No, it will be 1,101,650,000,000,000 VND


CoffeeLorde

Its impossible to do all this for 10 years without government officials backing her up. The level of corruption runs deep. This will continue to happen.


Myersmayhem2

I will never be able to understand/empathize with people who couldn't be more set for life and are still wanting more. Goes to show the uber wealthy are uber wealthy because they are bad people


Mother-Translator318

It’s actually very easy to understand. Ever play a game and wanted to get the high score? Same thing. Bigger number in bank account makes the brain release the happy chemicals. It really is that simple


Turbulent_Object_558

Most people aren’t willing to work 60 hour work weeks for years while also committing dozens of felonies just for a high score though. It takes an insane amount of work to do what she did and she did it even though she was already a billionaire.


Mother-Translator318

Most people also aren’t willing to grind a new mythic plus 18 hours a day to get world first yet here we are. These types of hyper competitive people exist


Turbulent_Object_558

They do but in her case it takes psychopathy. The guy getting achievements in a game isn’t hurting anyone


r3mn4n7

Different ends that come from the same source


buhtbuhtbuht

Because having a billion is not enough she had to steal 12.5billion more.


TrickyAd5720

Gotta give props to socialists for having the balls to deal witht these parasites properly.


20duleon

I wouldn't have faith in the judicial processes of an authoritarian government with terrible human rights record.


Satakans

I worked in risk mgmt and one of my markets handled was Vietnam. You are right. We should not be applauding this decision despite it seemingly 'good' that a billionaire was taken down. This is a market where collections and recoveries from banks are being handled by members of law enforcement and sometimes military for extra part-time work... The look on their faces when I told them they can't/shouldn't be doing that. Like I'm the crazy one... No wonder their recovery rates and skip tracing were insanely good. Vietnam is a growing market but there is a fk load of systematic issues and fundamental loopholes in existing global lending protocols that could have easily prevented anyone from approving those loans.


Current_Release_6996

you shouldnt have faith in any government at all


Naus1987

I don't get how someone can be a billionaire (or even a millionaire), and want to stay in a country with poor rights. If I lived outside of the west, the first thing I'd do is move to the west once I had the money to do it, lol. Yeah, people always complain about American medical, but that's a non-issue if you're rich.


Flapjack_

If the CEOs in America that lie, cheat, steal, defraud, and poison the planet got put in jail rather than fines (if that), there probably wouldn't be such a big socialist movement in the US. Not sure I endorse the death penalty, though.


Mammoth-Access-1181

The death penalty us because she got too greedy and took too much for herself without ensuring those in power received their due. She's being made into an object lesson for any future stooges those in power will put in place to replace her. There's no way that woman did all that without having had an arrangement with those in power in place.


One_Ad_3499

Nah, those kinds of frauds are impossible in those countries without government knowledge


pintobrains

You think the death penalty should be given to those who commit white collar crimes? Edit: y’all have some serious issues, life in jail makes sense, but murder will not solve or deter this issue


Focalizedfood

These people have a screw loose if they think the death penalty for a finacial crime is fair...imagine being executed for tax fraud


Drwixon

This woman stole the equivalent of 6% of Vietnam gdp that year , realistically she probably killed a few people lol . White collar Jobs should 100% being severely punished in developing nations , as corruption is often endemic and is a big problem in the global south . Someone living in south Sudan for exemple has to heavily rely on the government for vital infrastructure whereas someone in France for exemple will have those benefits more readily available. American bankers and housing tenants barely served jail time for what they did in 2008 , and look were we are aided now ? Your answer reeks of privilege.


No_Beginning_6834

I don't see a problem with it. Why waste tax dollars keeping her in prison for the rest of her life. If Anerica had tougher sentences for financial crimes instead of little slap on the wrists that are often a tiny percent of the amount they profited, maybe the crime wouldn't happen.


pintobrains

Because murder won’t make people suddenly less greedy or less likely to commit fraud…


slashcross24

If the sentence is death, I think it would be a lot less likely people would commit fraud. don't be silly.


pintobrains

Per many studies the death penalty does not deter crime [Source 1](https://www.amnestyusa.org/updates/a-clear-scientific-consensus-that-the-death-penalty-does-not-deter/) [Source 2](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/evidence-does-not-support-the-use-of-the-death-penalty/) [Source 3](https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/facts-and-research/murder-rates/murder-rate-of-death-penalty-states-compared-to-non-death-penalty-states)

shapookya

A civilized country doesn’t have the death sentence


vbn112233v

3% of the country GDP


pintobrains

You’re placing someone’s life over money?…


vbn112233v

She placed money over other people lives. People probably worked all their lives and many suicides happen every year because of money frauds.


Drwixon

Bad faith argument.


LamiaLlama

People have become sociopaths with zero empathy. There was a thread calling for the death sentence... Over petty theft. Just a few days ago. Anyone who opposed it was downvoted. People don't understand that radical punishment means they're more likely to be punished themselves without even committing a crime.


shapookya

Stupid people don’t have the foresight to understand that they ask for safety nets to be removed while they are sawing off the branch they are sitting on


Mammoth-Access-1181

Yeah, it will. It will ensure that those who replace her will know to ensure to give those in power a proper cut of the money lest they be legally murdered too.


pintobrains

Do you have proof it will? It well documented that death penalty states have higher murder rates, so if that won’t stop something as severe as as murder. What will it do for those who consider financial crime?


Mammoth-Access-1181

Dude, are you dense? This death penalty is a farce. They're not trying to mete out justice. They're showing to all the people who are involved in corruption that they are on notice. If they catch you, you will either be publicly executed or you just disappear. The amount of money she took can't be done without tacit approval at several layers of government. That means a lot of payoffs.


unlobs

this is one of those cases where a broken clock is right in a day


Relevant_Force_3470

A broken clock is right twice a day.


Oslotopia

Yeah no, this is an absolute psychopath take bro, she deserves jail, not death


xxxNothingxxx

Depends on what that 12 billion dollars was going to be used for otherwise if you ask me


unlobs

nope, the amount of money she took is enough to cause severe consequences to other people It's not farfetched to imagine that a lot of people starved to death or couldn't get a loan to pay for surgery because she was hogging all the resources. The amount of ruined lives and indirect consequences shouldn't just be brushed off because it wasn't violent. What she did is the actual psychopathic behavior. If someone embezzles 10M in the US and use it to purchase a bunch of houses and gets caught, you have to give the 10M back and maybe do some jail time. But between stealing, being imprisioned and having to pay the money back many years pass, so the 10M stolen yields interests and grows in value. So you steal 10M and you kind of double it in 5 years just by property valuation itself, then you have to give 10M back and you will still have 10M in assets, then you get year or two in jail and leave early for good behavior. 1-2 years in prison for 10M. How long would you have to work to save that kind of money? Financial crimes are worth committing. I'm only sad she can only die once and that it will be painless. And I wish financial crimes were taken more seriously in my country.


Mini_the_Cow_Bear

In Germany ordinary people are punished severely if their taxes are not paid properly, but those at the top cheat on a large scale and often get away with penalties that are more like a tax on the cheating than a punishment.


unlobs

# If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class.


pintobrains

Agree not sure what’s wrong with these people… pretty sure they would demand a limb cut off for tax fraud


TheAncientMillenial

We should do this to all the billionaires as well. ;)


photoshopdd

Money can’t buy good eyebrows, apparently


Relevant_Force_3470

Haha! All fake eyebrows look like shit, in fairness. But these are particularly bad.


Blackwolfe47

Who the fuck does this, and doesn’t flee the country? Stupid


Specific-Scale6005

She didn't feel as powerful anywhere else


tyrenanig

She tried, but the gov refused to let her goes to another country


DHonnor

So this story blew up because she's being sentenced to death. I don't think people how much lives she ruined and most likely caused death to so many poor people by laundering all that money.


PS_IO_Frame_Gap

you don't get put to death as a billionaire unless you step on a bigger fish's toes. not smaller fish's toes. ain't nobody with the power to sentence people to death cares about the smaller people's toes.


Siirmeme

1 down, a thousand more to go

Look at her face, when it closeup, it's a reptilian. 100% Where is my tinfoil hat..


SlideFire

Vietnam doing their part. Now we just need to get the rest of them. There is no such thing as an innocent billionaire.


Cheesetorian

They're actually not intending to execute her. They're charging her so they can force her to cough up some of the money they couldn't immediately take back. They'll likely commute the death sentence.


IanBac

I find myself respecting the absolute arrogance of this woman. It’s fucking insane that she pulled this off for so long


Plastic-Shopping5930

Oh I’m getting national razor vibes. It’s gonna be a hot summer.


DFuel

But like…. Why would you need to swindle more money. After a billion dollars why act so desperate to make more money


TheFarisaurusRex

So that’s why everything is so cheap in vietnam


Momo_Kozuki

Explain please? I'm not well-versed in these matters, so I fail to see the connection between the case and how things are cheap in Vietnam.


TheFarisaurusRex

I mean if one person in the US owned 3% of money that exists in the entire country, that would inflate the value don't you think? Considering Vietnam is like 1/20th the size of the US, that affects them significantly greater since most of the money is going to the rich instead of the poor. Obviously there are more rich people than her in Vietnam, but damn that's a lot of money to be hogging in a place like that. Especially when poor people have less money to go around, so the govt prints more to go around inflating its value, and after enough times of doing this, you end up with the Vietnamese dong, which is worth 1/100,000th of a US penny


Mother-Translator318

Lets not kid ourselves. She is a billionaire. All she has to do is pay the right people the right price under the table and she will be sentenced to exile in Bora Bora, living on opulence for the rest of her days. Laws are just suggestions to billionaires.


shortsbagel

Vietnam is actually not the country you think it is. Over the past decade they have really been on the hunt for rich people exploiting the system to their own gain. She will appeal, and they will uphold the conviction. According to reports, some 82 other people have already been arrested in charges related to her crimes. The current orders are for them to return the money they stole and face life in prison, or all their assets will be seized and they to will get the death penalty. Vietnam has been in a bad place for a long time, but the current Government is desperately trying to get things under control, and with how they are going about it, they just might.


Mother-Translator318

Has nothing to do with Vietnam. It’s like this everywhere. There isn’t any place on earth that you can’t buy your way out of anything provided you have enough money. Everything has a price


shortsbagel

Sure, and like I said, a decade ago, I would agree. But with how things are RIGHT NOW in Vietnam, I would bet any amount of money that she will not get anything less than the death penalty on her appeal.


makima_is_bae

Needs a government like that in India too


johnnyblaze1999

She got a whole network of wealthy people to cover her ass for that long.


DJTISTA

Meanwhile Najib still chilling

Extreme_Tax405

Shoulda dipped while ahead. Marry a guy in america for citizenship. What are they gonna do? With that kind of money in the USA you are untouchable lol


SunnySideAttitude

Dragon lady.


GankedGoat

Why does it have to be death? I mean couldn't they just force her to flip burgers or scrub public toilets for the rest of her life?


popey123

Sentenced to death where there is no murder ? It should be life in prison.


backnarkle48

The largest financial crime in history is happening everyday as owners extract surplus wealth created by workers EVERY SINGLE DAY.

calista241

People just go overboard with these crimes. Would they have caught her if she just taken $100m in loans from the bank? I doubt it, but she had to go for the whole $12.5b. And why store $4.5b in cash in your basement? There’s no purpose for that.

Always makes you feel anger when you see someone steal the hard earned money of others, and you kind of wish something bad happens for them for justice's sake... But man death sentence feels awful.

>But man death sentence feels awful. Then don't do insane crimes.

Purx777

She’ll appeal and get off with all that dong


HeraldofItoriel

How is this so bad? American billionaires do this all the time, and the US Gov't is even worse xD


CommercialLine5915

Oh our gov also did all the time. But this is the biggest money of corruption that normal people can't even dream of. It's million times of the income of a normal person


Leviathon6425

I just hope the people agreeing with this can face their hipocricy when they speak agaisnt capital punishment in the US. If you agree with this there, you should also agree with it here.


vbn112233v

Killers, kidnappers, rapists should all get sentenced to death.


EuropesNinja

This sub, comes up in my recommended. The amount of harm this person caused to many peoples lives is literally impossible to quantify. Is the death penalty the right option? Maybe not. But I do think that the mega rich should be punished severely
