Sam Bankman-Fried might be having a rough go of it as he faces 25 years in the slammer, but hey, at least he didn’t commit large-scale financial fraud in Vietnam.
What happened: Real estate developer Truong My Lan has been sentenced to death by a Vietnamese court for orchestrating the country's largest-ever financial fraud. She embezzled over US$12 billion (or ~3% of Vietnam’s GDP) from the Saigon Joint Stock Commercial Bank.
