Vietnam tycoon Truong My Lan sentenced to death in $12.5bn fraud case
The largest case of fraud in Vietnam’s history has been uncovered as part of a major state anticorruption drive.
reddit libs seething lmao
I think it's hard to understand these numbers for a lot of people. They go from 12.5 billion to 44 billion. That's not some petty cash, that's 3-10% of Vietnam's GDP. This is money that, if lost, warrants budget cuts by the government, costing people quality of life. All for the enrichment of herself and her cronies.
Sure, death is hard. But she didn't think about the lives of thousands if not millions of others either.
Imagine how many people had to suffer, or even died, because of her and her ilk. That amount of money can play for a lot of life saving procedures, repair unsave roads, improve sanitation of many.
Imagine how many people were involved enabling this theft.

12.5 BILLION?! Yeah, wall. And before that a thorough investigation how this could happen in the first place. I'd make Beria look like a saint clearing and cleaning up that shitshow.
It feels good to see justice being blind. Corruption of this scales costs lives.
The numbers are a bit over the place, ranging from 12.5 billion to 44 billion.
I feel the number should stop mattering to the penalty well before 1B in fraud.
Yeah it was just that the more liberal the news outlet, the higher the number lol
Wouldn’t life in prison be a better option under socialism/communism instead of the death penalty? I understand the reasoning, but I don’t really see the purpose in executing someone in general, especially over such a crime.
“Setting an example”. Wouldn’t life in prison accomplish the same exact thing?
Why not just let them rot?
I'm not sure, but it's in line with what the Soviets did:
But even your source says:
or for his life
The argument this is making is that if you sentence a person for 20-40 years, then they’ll be entirely unable to reintegrate back into society once they finish their term; so there’s no point giving someone with an armed robbery charge 25 years, as you inevitably do more social harm then good.
So we’re still back at square one as even your source states that you might as well imprison someone for life.
Also, the source isn’t arguing for or against the death penalty, and they explicitly state that they don’t want to make a stance on it. Instead, they’re saying that a judge should either sentence for 10 years or under, or simply execute a person as there is no societal difference between 25 years in prison or death.
Yeah I don't really know what to think about it either.
