  1. I guess in a way she’s a bank robber of sorts.

  2. 12 billion is around 2-3% of Vietnams GDP, That’s the equivalent to 600$-700$B in % of the US economy.

  4. A death sentence is.. extreme.

    But I do agree with the idea of more severe sentences in white collar crime. Maybe we would have less financial crime, poor decision making, and financially predatory bullshit from companies if CEO’s and Boards of directors went to jail over causing massive financial loss from greedy decision making that runs companies into the ground.

  6. I am against the death penalty, but I believe that in a country that has this type of penalty, the sentence was fair.

    for the amount of money and people she defrauded, even more so considering that even though Vietnam is not necessarily a country with endemic hunger, but is still not rich, the number of lives she destroyed isn’t small. How many people died as a result of her actions?

    but there is probably something political in that sentence

  8. Well… i am not a fan of the death penality (and we will see if the sentence will not be converted to life in prison in the aftermath), BUT harsher punishments for white collar crime, which can lead to the ruin of many lifes are a good thing to see.

  9. Justice I can get behind. Let’s import this standard to the US.

  10. I’ve seen articles with 4 billion, 24 billion and now 12 billion, I don’t know which is the correct amount

  12. Death for stealing fucking money is insane to me, any amount.

  14. why wealthy people don’t leave the game before they get caught.

    it’s like you stole an absurd amount of money, why still live in vietnam? why hang around this much?

    You stole a couple of billions get the hell out before they catch you, it’s not like she stollen all in a week.

    with half of that money you can start a new life anywhere on the globe, have everything you ever wanted and still not work a day in your life.

    greed….

  15. Definitely a high-end swindler, wonder how many meals that pile of cash could’ve bought. Running for office next?

  17. If she did this it’s a terrible crime but I still think death is way too extreme for any crime. Life in prison…fine. We as a civilized society shouldn’t be putting others to death as a punishment (speaking generally).

    Also, I live in the US, so I have no idea if she did what she did. But this smells to me like she made enemies with the wrong people. It’s a way for a government to take down single individuals once they get too powerful.

  18. Good.

    Normalize executing billionaires (after a fair trial) and redistributing their wealth back to their victims.

    Billionaires are parasites on society

  24. Stole 304 trillion dongs while running Van Thinh Phat Holdings Group.

  25. Ik she defraudesld people from millions of their money and she deserves to go to jail for life but i still just don’t agree with the death penalty

  28. When only one of them is punished you know something is wrong. Corruption on this scale will involve many officials, police officers, army generals, other tycoons, and many politicians.

  29. Bring this to America.

    Any theft / fraud over $100mil should be eligible for death penalty.

    If the punishment for a crime is just a fine then it is only a crime for the poor.

  30. Are we really starting to issue death penalties for corrupt rich people?

    Hey, as long as we still do executions at all, I say let’s go for it.

  31. If Billionaires were to face death for fraud there’d be whole lot less billionaires and fraud. Why don’t we hop on this train?

  32. This is the third headline I have read and each had a different money amount.

  33. From the little I know about this case, it’s very possible this woman’s being scapegoated.

  34. I wonder how the US would be different if those who committed massive fraud faced similar consequences for the damage they do to the working class with their greed.

  36. Badass, the United States should do stuff like this more

  39. Take note world; that’s how it’s done. Death, not a slap on the wrist.

  40. She must have some good lawyers as it started at $44 billion, then I saw $37 billion, and now $12 billion, all today. If things keep going as they are she’ll be the one owed money and will walk away with a nice cheque…

  43. America would be a much better place to live if we followed this example.

  44. Suddenly Bankman-Fried has an enduring love for the USA!!!

  45. After the 2008 financial crisis, there was a massive spike in suicide because of every day people who’d become financially destitute. While the most rich and powerful who caused the collapse got off with a finger wagging from the government and fired with golden parachutes.

    If you could be executed for financial crimes in the USA, I’m sure you wouldn’t see as many Bernie Madoffs’, Elizabeth Holmes’, or SBFs’ out there ruining peoples lives. Even Musk could be up for a public stoning.

  46. Sentenced to death. Hmmm. Honestly if the US did this for ‘white collar’ crimes it would prob do some real good.

    It’ll never happen tho

  47. So many articles with the same photo but different amounts each time is so funny

  49. You know I’m ok with the death penalty for billion dollar plus frauds.
