Hung had taken and threatened to share explicit digital photos and video. Hung was reported to be being held in a temporary detention facility by the Go Vap District Police in Ho Chi Minh City on the evening of February 2.

Hung demanded money from his mistress in a “hot” clip he threatened to release.
During this time, Hung and Ms. S. sensitively chatted on video with each other. During these times, Hung covertly recorded all of their private video chats.
Due to a lack of funds by around December 2021, Hung sent Ms. S. “Sexy” images of Ms. S. to ask Ms. S. to send money to Hung. When Ms. S. refused, Hung threatened to send pictures of Ms. S to her friends and shared them on social media as a form of intimidation.
Ms. S. was apprehensive about “hot” pictures and videos on social media and sharing them with her friends, so she sent Hung money many times. Hung tricked Ms. S into transferring more than 100 times and took more than 1.4 billion VND (16,000 USD). Hung inquired of Ms. S on February 1 to travel back to Vietnam and deliver 30,000,000 VND.

The driver, however, consciously objected and defied orders. Driver Sang finally consented to move the truck to the station to weigh the load after much convincing.
Thus, using the tonnage scale, the truck in the previous sentence went 35.7% over the permitted volume of transport.

Washington’s legal crackdown on cryptocurrencies was long overdue, and the SEC on Friday, January 15, 2023 accused some of the biggest names in the industry of running an unauthorized lending service that caused significant losses for clients.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) accused Genesis Global Capital, a cryptocurrency lender, and Gemini, a former business partner, of selling unregistered securities through Gemini Earn. Genesis is a division of the Barry Silbert-founded Digital Currency Group, while Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, who are both billionaires, run Gemini.
The companies are charged with using the success of Gemini Earn, which guaranteed investors a return of up to 8%, to raise billions. The issue: According to the SEC, they broke securities laws by disregarding “disclosure requirements intended to protect investors.”
The SEC claims that 340,000 Earn customers have a $900 million loss. Injunctive relief, civil penalties, and restitution for “ill-gotten gains” are demanded in the complaint.
Additional writing on the wall for the crypto bust is Crypto.com also announcing on Friday that 20% of its staff would be laid off. The crypto exchange grew “ambitiously,” according to CEO Kris Marszalek, but was unable to withstand the demise of Sam Bankman-Fried’s crypto empire FTX, he wrote in a blog post.
Losing a job is better than losing your life savings. With Vietnamese media companies pushing pump-and-dump schemes on their unsuspecting readers, one wonders what billionaires in Vietnam are behind the positive spin of Crypto, which has been proven to be riddled with fraud and lacking intrinsic value.
Vietnam appears to lack any “disclosure requirements intended to protect investors” and the government should step in with regulations to prevent the loss of millions, and the media should not be creating a new financial crisis to benefit the billionaires.
