Taking advantage of the assigned task and seeing loopholes in money management, Tho came up with the idea of appropriating ANZ's money. Tho forged a signature to register for Internet Banking service information of an account holder opened at the bank, from there transferring this customer's money to Tho's relative's account, appropriating 3 billion VND.
In addition to this act, Tho also created 12 fake loan applications for 9 customers, then asked the bank to transfer the loan money into the co-owned accounts that he had previously created to withdraw, appropriating 88.3 billion VND.
After appropriating 91.3 billion VND, Tho gave Vi more than 77.6 billion VND to participate in business capital contribution.
The investigation results have clarified that Tho and Vi used nearly 12.5 billion VND to buy houses and cars; and used about 1.2 billion VND for personal purposes. According to Ho Chi Minh City Police, Vi knew that the money Tho gave him was money embezzled from ANZ Bank, but Vi did not advise him to stop, but also provided information and signatures of relatives to help Tho commit the crime.
