Van Thinh Phat would grow to become one of Vietnam’s richest real estate firms, with projects including luxury residential buildings, offices, hotels and shopping centers. This made her a key player in the country’s financial industry. She orchestrated the 2011 merger of the beleaguered SCB bank with two other lenders in coordination with Vietnam’s central bank.

You know, say what you will, it would be completely impossible for a billionaire to get the death penalty here, no matter how many lives their crime destroyed.

Probably not good for her that her mom is a Chinese businesswoman either. Vietnamese aren’t big China fans.

It took 35yrs for the Nikkei to recover from the bank fraud 35 yrs ago.
The honorable Japanese didn’t even send anyone to jail.
You know, say what you will it is completely impossible for a billionaire to get the death penalty except in extremely few nations on earth. Most of which, had they greased the right palms would not be executing them.

Thank you. I don’t remember made-up names.

Executions were once carried out by a firing squad of seven police officers, in which the prisoners were blindfolded and tied to stakes.
The firing squad was replaced by lethal injection in November 2011.
The link below has an interesting list of the “Penal Code Articles with Capital Punishment”, and mentions various exemptions.

Madoff got a life sentence. But he stole from the wrong people.
