      I think it's hard to understand these numbers for a lot of people. They go from 12.5 billion to 44 billion. That's not some petty cash, that's 3-10% of Vietnam's GDP. This is money that, if lost, warrants budget cuts by the government, costing people quality of life. All for the enrichment of herself and her cronies.

      Sure, death is hard. But she didn't think about the lives of thousands if not millions of others either.

        Imagine how many people had to suffer, or even died, because of her and her ilk. That amount of money can play for a lot of life saving procedures, repair unsave roads, improve sanitation of many.

        Imagine how many people were involved enabling this theft.

        Exactly, over here we just tell them well done you did it; our entire system is built to sustain and reward people who do this.

        This dynamic playing out in Vietnam reminds the upper class who is actually in control.
