According to the investigation results, in July 2022, Tin went abroad to find a job. Here, Tin was hired by a foreigner (Tin called this person "boss") and paid 17 million VND/month with the condition that he would set up a multi-level group to trick Vietnamese people into opening cryptocurrency investment accounts and then appropriate them. Although he knew that the activities of the group he was working for were fraudulent and violated the law, when he learned that if he could lure and trick more people into joining the group, he would be paid 35 million VND/person...
Tin contacted his hometown to entice and trick people into coming to work abroad to receive the above-mentioned commission. From August 2022 to early October 2022, Le Bao Tin committed the above acts 3 times and brought 11 people to work abroad.
The victims were tricked and sold to the "boss" by Tin, organized into a group and forced to sign contracts to commit fraud, luring other victims to gamble online, trade virtual currency... on cyberspace; forced to work, not allowed to leave the facility. During the work process, they were assigned targets for defrauding and luring players on a specific day; if they could not do the job, they would be sold to other employers or forced to call their families and relatives in Vietnam to pay ransom before being allowed to return home.
