Quick Glance: Death Sentence for Real Estate Tycoon in Vietnam's Largest Fraud Case

Truong My Lan, a prominent businesswoman and real estate tycoon, was sentenced to death in Vietnam's largest financial fraud case, marking a shocking development in the country's escalating anti-corruption campaign.

Born in 1956, Lan founded the Van Thinh Phat company with her family in 1992, which grew to become one of Vietnam's richest real estate firms linked to some of Ho Chi Minh's most valuable properties.

She was accused of using the bank as her cash cow, illegally controlling it between 2012 and 2022, and using thousands of 'ghost companies' in Vietnam and abroad to give loans to herself and her allies.

Her arrest in October 2022 falls within a period of increased anti-corruption efforts in Vietnam ramping up since 2022, impacting the country's economic outlook and unsettling foreign investors.

Quick Glance: Jury finds NRA and Wayne LaPierre liable in civil corruption trial

Wayne LaPierre diverted millions of dollars from the National Rifle Association to live luxuriously, while the gun rights group failed to properly manage its finances.

The jury ruled that the National Rifle Association failed to properly run its nonprofit and its assets between March 20, 2014, and May 2, 2022.

Jurors found that LaPierre and other executives violated their statutory obligations, causing monetary harm to the NRA.

State Supreme Court Judge Joel Cohen will make decisions on monetary damages and potential oversight of the NRA's finances.
