Damn, they got no chill in Vietnam, that’s for sure….

It was the most spectacular trial ever held in Vietnam, befitting one of the greatest bank frauds the world has ever seen.

Behind the stately yellow portico of the colonial-era courthouse in Ho Chi Minh City, a 67-year-old Vietnamese property developer was sentenced to death on Thursday for looting one of the country’s largest banks over a period of 11 years.

It’s a rare verdict - she is one of very few women in Vietnam to be sentenced to death for a white collar crime.

The decision is a reflection of the dizzying scale of the fraud. Truong My Lan was convicted of taking out $44bn (£35bn) in loans from the Saigon Commercial Bank. The verdict requires her to return $27bn, a sum prosecutors said may never be recovered. Some believe the death penalty is the court’s way of trying to encourage her to return some of the missing billions.

Can you even begin to imagine the squealing from the likes of Musk, Zuck, Trump (of course) and the rest of the plutocrats. They’d be absolutely shitting themselves, terrified they’d be next. They’d probably all start retreating to their doomsday bunkers, LOL.

OK, off to go do some things. It’s a nice day out.
