In May 2020, Hien was assigned by another company, House Land, to act as a broker, finding clients to acquire real estate in the Thuan Phat Land Housing Project in Tru Van Tho commune and Lai Uyen town, Bau Bang district, Binh Duong province.
Through her brokerage activities, Hien deceived a customer into transferring money to purchase three plots of land in the Thuan Phat Land Residential Project. However, instead of allowing the customer to meet with the developer to negotiate and make the payment, Hien arbitrarily used the legal entity of the company where she worked as an accountant to sign a deposit receipt and collect over 1.2 billion VND.
Subsequently, Hien returned 700 million VND to House Land Company, using the remaining amount to repay personal loans. House Land Company reported the incident to the police.
