According to the complaint, Mr. Thai Chinh and his wife borrowed money from the victims but did not pay them back on time. When the creditors came to collect the money, they discovered that Mr. Chinh and his wife had been on the run for nearly a month and were currently uncontactable.
The amount of money that the victims accused Mr. Thai Chinh and his wife of borrowing was nearly 4.5 billion VND, in which there were cases where they lent up to nearly 1.5 billion VND.
According to the leader of Dien Hoa commune, under the pretext of borrowing money, paying high interest, and being fair to invest in business such as buying wood, expanding mechanical workshops, opening pawn shops, etc., Mr. Chinh and his wife borrowed money from many people.
Many people even mortgaged their land titles worth hundreds of millions of dong at the commune credit fund to borrow money for Mr. Chinh and his wife. The amount of money Mr. Chinh and his wife borrowed could be more than 4.5 billion dong because many victims have not yet come forward to report.
