1. Us Vietnamese has a joke about her is: She is Gol.D Roger because she said she hide those money out sea

2. I suspect she was the fall person for someone else in the shadows pulling the strings.

3. Vietnam is a corrupted country anyways. If she hadn't done that, there would have been someone else. Everyone wants a piece of $$$$$, it's just the matter of how much. Anyway, corrupted country.

4. back in that day, we have a joke "let's find Truong My Lan's treasures", like in One Piece anime
   the whole country are shocked by her, by the things she made, the "harmful" thing to our economy
   but now most of us already forget her, who want to remember a criminal

5. What would you do with this kind of money? Small island and a castle cost less. In case of some cataclism/nukler war/virus on earth you want to go to space to life few extra months? At this amount money is just numbers. This is just extreme megalomania, specially if you have a legal buissnes in place where other people work for your wealth. Also death sentence changes nothing. Its only a display of power and a way to reduce cost of detection of this things, hoping no one will do it again by fear of being murdured.

6. nah, she stole 11%

7. Bigger than Najib's 1mdb. 😱

8. i know bro im a viet namese

9. She said she left all of it in the sea, then created the generation of pirates

10. I STILL TRYING TO FIND THE TRUONG MY LAN TREASURE LIKE IN ONEPICE

11. 44 billion dollars is equivalent to the GDP of the two neighboring countries Laos and Cambodia combined.

12. She deserves an Oscar award

13. I wish they could this in USA!!!

14. in Vietnam we have a meme-trend talking about one piece treasure is Truong My Lan long lost money and it was funny asf

15. I think she is just the fall guy….real culprits are sipping beer in unknown places

16. She likes to collect money 😀

17. Truong My Lon

18. KPMG and Deloitte are accomplices.. Nothing is free. The latest news people get is that the former Vietnamese PM get a bribery amounted to 100 million dollars. Does it surprise you ? The entire Vietnamese ruling party members, their associates are crooked. Period. The victims are the entire Vietnamese Jane and john doe. LMAO. the world is naive ? no, they are all accomplices.

19. The real life smaug

20. Her money or the government could be jealous?

21. Her sentence in Vietnamese legal context is proportionate to the damage caused to the victims and society as a whole.

    From my limited recollection there is no minimum or maximum sentencing In Vietnam the sentences are supposedly dealt out in proportion to the crime a person is convicted of this, is why drug crimes are harshly (drug smuggling almost always leads to execution) dealt with as, the percieved impact to society from substance abuse is considered high … regardless of data…

    Now to say there wan't a polical slant to her sentence would be a flat out lie because, Vietnam has been purging from the top down and private sector corruption like mad ever since they started to negotiaete and eventually sign TPP (CPTPP) in order to actually properly benifit from the potential capital influx.

    On another note if, she has kept her bribes to not cash but, luxury items she probably would have stayed under the radar. In Vietname "gifts" are pretty commonly overlooked but flat out cash is not.

22. Viet's and family run banking is always a problem….

23. Best is in the Uncle Sam, there is no corruption, no death penalty for economy and financial causes. At best it's simply political donation. But no corruption.

24. 44 bil is just the surface she have money hiding all around the world.even the sea somehow

25. the fact that the vietnamese even compare her embezzlements to top artist's net worth makes it even crazier

26. One party systems can be a boon or disaster…no safety valve and it completely rest on the leader …once it achieves success the leader think they can do no wrong and the slide starts…

27. Her husband (Eric Chu Nap Kee) is a wealthy Hong Kong power broker and real estate mogul. There are rumors that she was laundering money for him through her bank (hence the infinite money glitch), because she could've stopped at any point, but had to keep going because of her husband. On top of that, she had multiple chances to flee the country and forego her Vietnamese citizenship but she always came back, so I definitely think there were people, who engender her to keep going. I reckon there might be others involved and she ended up the scapegoat.

28. InVietNam,we call that 44 billion ONE PIECE

29. She a baddie

30. Even after this, corruption still continues in other places.

31. Skill issue

32. This is yet another proof that those who manage to reach the top of the social ladder and make it in life would have never done so by telling the truth.

33. at 7:12. Vietnam is not that poor, lol

34. Well, im a Vietnamese. My parents got decive and lost 3 bilion vietnam dong. It was a huge money for us😢. Our family are so mad😡 to lost money for nothing, she trick alot of people, too. Now, the SCB bank disappear from Vietnam after that.😭

35. Nigeria need this.😂😂

36. so smart and so dumb the same time, all that money, she could bought the whole Vietnamese government, or at least the judges, if none of them work, hire hundreds of hitman, buy tanks and fighter jets. so much money, she could do whatever she wanted. wasted opportunity. look at our supreme court in usa, some of them judges already bought

37. how can one woman do this…to accept this blindly is the same being the weak government that let this happen without control…she looks like a woman of character…respectable…truly a waste for the country…hopefully she survives and later contribute to the country…

38. BBC presenter called it a brank fraud

39. she's richer than Batman by stealing, impressive

40. Trương Mỹ Lan mà cứ đọc là Trương Mai Lan là sao vậy😢

41. Waaahh she is just on rank with our Najip Razak 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 our Najip also very 'mastered' in stealing money from our country treasures. But far away from our Mahathir's ranking! Just like imagine that Mahathir's sons are all billionaire and now all of them are under Malaysia Anti Corruption radar for sometimes! 😂😂😂😂😂

42. When you have people saying trump's court rulings on fraud and corruption is "business as usual" and shouldn't be pursued you are saying the USA is going to become like this, and you are just fine with it….and don't say "we are already there", we are not, but you are making us closer to it.

43. What was she planning to do with all the money? Did she intend to give it back after profiting from the investments? So confused, she couldn’t just keep all 44billion

44. Oh wow, best example of strong female villian, disney, Hollywood, take notes 😂😂

45. How could the charge be too harsh? It's too lenient.

46. It seems if Vietnam has a problem of punishing its bankers too much when they commit massive amounts of financial fraud, in the US we have the problem of rewarding bankers when they commit fraud on a level that almost brought the global economy to its knees.

47. 3% GDP = 44 billion. really dat Vietnam GDP so high than Netherland ?

48. So true! Wealth has no shortcuts, here are ways to acquire it..🔥

49. She's the one who created the One Piece treasure…
