The MB24 case is a warning lesson for greed and ignorance.
(Baonghean)In July 2012, when Online Trading Training Joint Stock Company (abbreviated as MB24) had an electronic trading floor at the addresswww.mb24.vn, the head office in Hanoi and branches in the provinces have been investigated and handled by the police, in Nghe An, the illegal acts of this company branch were also exposed by Nghe An Police. The following is a short interview with Colonel Dao Hong Lap - Head of the Economic Police Department - Nghe An Police about this incident.
Reporter: Dear comrade, after the serious violations of 24-hour trading nationwide, up to now, this network has been exposed with the participation of the Ministry of Public Security and the Public Security of provinces and cities. So, how did the Economic Police Department of Nghe An Public Security get involved to contribute to bringing this network to light?
Colonel Dao Hong Lap
Colonel Dao Hong Lap:Under the timely direction of the Provincial Police Director, the Economic Police Department has focused its forces to verify and clarify the MB24 branch in Nghe An. Specifically, the process of establishment and operation of the branch from October 1, 2011 to July 31, 2012. We have investigated and clarified the organization, methods, operation process, money collection, money transfer, commission and bonuses of this branch in the area.
PV: Could you please tell us more about the activities and the extent of damage caused by the MB24 Branch in Nghe An?
Colonel Dao Hong Lap:MB24 is a type of e-commerce activity. This type is essentially a bridge between production and e-commerce. If used properly, it serves very well for production and production development. But here, MB24 subjects in general and Nghe An branch in particular focus on developing members with the aim of earning more commissions.
During the investigation, we clarified that in Nghe An in 10 months, the subjects had propagated to more than 6,000 people to hear about MB24 and of those more than 6,000 people, more than 1,000 people participated in buying a total of 2,519 booths. We determined that for every booth, people had to pay 5,200,000 VND. However, there was also a deduction process, such as deducting 1,500,000 VND for new people who introduced them. Thus, here there are people who are both victims and also people who cause harm to others.
PV: The most important concern of the victims in this case now is how to get back the money they gave to MB24. In your opinion, is there any solution to help them?
Colonel Dao Hong Lap:We will actively coordinate with the Hanoi Police Investigation Agency to investigate and clarify this case and during the investigation, two issues will arise. These are the criminal responsibility of the criminals and the economic and civil responsibility. Specifically, the subjects who benefited from the victims must be responsible for compensating the victims and will be dealt with in a judgment. Specifically, how much compensation is required is very difficult. Because this is a complicated process, with deductions and deductions, and a certain percentage must be dealt with in a judgment.
PV: Through this, what warnings does the authorities have for the people?
Colonel Dao Hong Lap:Those who are too greedy for profit, have little knowledge, are lured into participating in similar commercial activities, the Colony case (illegally mobilizing financial investment online in Vietnam) is a warning lesson to determine: Making money must be through training and hard work, not simply sitting on the computer, mobilizing subjects to participate in making money like the subjects MB24 mobilized and suffered losses as recently.
Thank you, comrade!
