Vietnam sentences real estate tycoon Truong My Lan to death in massive fraud case

pbs.org/newshour/world/vietnam-sentences-real-estate-tycoon-truong-my-lan-to-death-in-massive-fraud-case

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: 'The Sympathizer': Revealing Vietnam War's History

HBO and A24's satire 'The Sympathizer' features Robert Downey Jr. in four roles to shed light on the history of the Vietnam War.

Viet Thanh Nguyen's Pulitzer Prize novel 'The Sympathizer' is adapted into a seven-episode miniseries exploring the memories of a half-French, half-Vietnamese Communist spy during the Vietnam War and his new life as a refugee in Los Angeles.

The series offers a blend of loss, immigration, espionage, and satire, showcasing many faces of the war through the Captain's perspective.

Despite some unevenness in execution, the series captures the sharp wit of the source material and advances the conversation about the Vietnam War in mainstream media.
