Eighty-five others were tried with Truong My Lan

All of the defendants were found guilty.

Uh... either the scale of fraud is huge, at the level of a crime syndicate, or they are convicting some innocent people. Usually the government overcharges people to encourage confessions, leading to some people being found innocent.

Do we really think the Vietnamese prosecutors are the best in the world? Maybe the jury really hated these people.

The Vietnamese government is highly corrupt, the billionaire could probably pay them off.

I read in a separate article that basically that's how she got to where she is. A bunch of people that took bribes over the years are also going to jail. This is supposedly the Vietnamese government trying to fight that corruption. !remindme 5years to see how it works out...

For the sake of VN and its citizens, I hope they rid all the corruption.
