The lifestyle of Vietnam’s nouveau riche elite was exposed during the devastating trial in Ho Chi Minh City that convicted Truong My La Lan of stripping the country’s biggest bank huge sums of money in a scam worth $44 billion. (…) She broke down in tears as she battled for her life before the sentence was announced. It was “due to my lack of understanding of legal matters,” she said, that she “did the wrong things.”
Watch me boombling and bamboozling my way around with my eyes closed and absolute zero awareness of my general environment as I accidentaly scam billions of dollars. Whoopsies.
Lack of understanding of legal matters…
She didn’t realize the law applied to her!
To be fair I feel like Kevin O’Leary just used this excuse for trump. He essentially said we do it all the time you normies never say anything I don’t see the problem, I’m paraphrasing but here’s a Jon Stewart piece about it

You can tell this is written by an American because it keeps bringing up the war for no reason.
I applaud holding rich people accountable, yet I’m militantly opposed to the death sentence.
I think there’s quite some no wage labor left in them, let them try that out for a change.
The most difficult argument to argue against against the death penalty is that you cannot repair for the damages of executing a person you’ve wrongly convicted, if new evidence appears too late.
This doesn’t even mean there aren’t people who deserve to die, or who deserve suffering. Rather, it’s an acknowledgement of the fallibility of human institutions.
That’s why death penalty shouldn’t exist for crimes like a wife killing a husband. You might be 99.9% sure she poisoned him, but you cannot know for sure.
However, a school shooter caught red handed shooting a school?
Some crimes and scenarios can warrant the death penalty in my mind
Next argument is “what if the government framed people to execute them?”
Why in the world would the government point out that they are executing someone?
If the government (the rich controlled government) wants you dead they would do it quietly.
Even something as simple as cutting your brake lines. You really think local police are going to figure out that the government had soldier 65478 tamper with your brake lines?
It’s reversible at least. I’m not for unusual punishment, just got the exact conditions of a Vietnamese laborer at the bottom rung.
So you’re okay with sending someone to a work camp if “they probably did it, more than likely”? Because at least it’s reversible…
So what if they have to spend 10 years breaking rocks in the sun. Oopsie daisies
Concise writing is a dead art, isn’t it?
I guess the death sentence is one way to deter people from similar offences.
Maybe she didn’t bribe them well enough? She should’ve been buying officials rather than property like we do in the west.
From the article:
“She faced an array of charges along with her husband, Eric Chu Nap Kee, a billionaire Hong Kong real estate operator, and 85 co-conspirators, including lawyers and banking regulators from the capital of Hanoi, the seat of communist rule.”
So, she did bribe officials. Probably pissed off the wrong one, though.
