According to the police investigation, in 2006, Ms. Yen was the owner of the daily hui chains. In April 2017, Ms. Yen continued to open many monthly hui chains with amounts ranging from 1 to 3 million VND. On May 15, Ms. Yen suddenly announced that the hui had collapsed.
At this point, there are still 69 unfinished hui chains with 1,035 hui shares. Among the hui chains that have ended, the Investigation Police Agency has determined that, during her time as the hui owner, Ms. Yen falsely listed 33 hui shares and arbitrarily used the names of hui members to collect 124 hui shares, with a total amount of money embezzled of nearly 4.6 billion VND.
The case is being further consolidated by Tra Vinh Provincial Police and handled in accordance with regulations.
