Has the death penalty been used for this sort of crime before in Vietnam and has it been effective at deterring others in a measurable way?
The death penalty in this case isn’t to deter future crime of the same type. It’s to remove a specific type of malignant cancer from society and ensure that it can’t spread to others. All of her cohorts that could be punished were sentenced for a range of time and a fine as is appropriate.
Has the death sentence been a deterrent for any crime?
No it’s a big show for statists to show how strong and dominating they are. It’s not about your lowly practical concerns. It doesn’t even matter of they kill the right one. As long as blood is spilled. The anger of the masses will be sated for a little while and all will know there is no escape from the violence of the state.
I dunno, try it and find out?
Singapore kills drug dealers which is a bit scary.
I hope that city gets an asteroid.

Tin pot dictator states get the asteroid. Quick before the authoritarianisn disease spreads.
In Vietnam? Not sure. The French seemed to have a lasting benefit from doing this to every landlord they could lay hands on in the late 1700s, though.
Vietnam, still undefeated
The French beg to differ
France lost to Vietnam though, that’s why there’s still a Vietnam and not L’Indochine Française or whatever they were gonna call it
I don’t know if this is sarcasm or if you consider six decades of being colonies as a win
Now do Trump
Do both the genocidal candidates actually
This but unironically.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The 67-year-old chair of the real estate company Van Thinh Phat was formally charged with fraud amounting to $12.5 billion — nearly 3% of the country’s 2022 GDP.
Lan and her family established the Van Thing Phat company in 1992 after Vietnam shed its state-run economy in favor of a more market-oriented approach that was open to foreigners.
She had started out helping her mother, a Chinese businesswoman, to sell cosmetics in Ho Chi Minh City’s oldest market, according to state media Tien Phong.
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.
She indirectly owned more than 90% of the bank — a charge she denied — and approved thousands of loans to “ghost companies,” according to government documents.
In November, Communist Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, Vietnam’s top politician, said that the anti-corruption fight would “continue for the long term.”
The original article contains 621 words, the summary contains 159 words. Saved 74%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Are they wearing the same lipstick? She must have pissed off a high ranking communist.

1 down, 2780 to go.
Let’s keep the kill streak going!
They do love their state murders in Asia
death penality is for weak countries
I don’t believe these things happen because of great work or investigations, she must have stepped on someone else’s toes or something, that’s the only way influential people go down…
You must be from VN to know that thing. That’s for real though
There’s your answer:
Her actions “not only violate the property management rights of individuals and organizations but also push SCB (Saigon Joint Stock Commercial Bank) into a state of special control; eroding people’s trust in the leadership of the Party and State,”
When rich people get affected, people go down
More of this.
I’m usually not fond of the death penalty, but these are the kind of people it should be reserved for.
Meh, could have just as easily seized her assets and prison forever
Dead panalty is cheaper option.
iirc the death sentence is just being used as a motivation for her to return all the stuff she got from corruption and if she does it’ll be downgraded to life in prison
Can we make some kind of fried rice/stir fry with her butt meat

SEE! THEY’LL KILL YOU!!
Wait, so in other countries… fraud has consequences?
…negative consequences?
