It would definitely solve a lot of problems...but it should just be a life in prison sentence

I don't support tue death penalty.

That said, screwing over anyone 44 billion dollars is begging to find some enemies who want your head. Can't say I'm surprised, not that I support it.

The decision is a reflection of the dizzying scale of the fraud. Truong My Lan was convicted of taking out $44bn (35bn) in loans from the Saigon Commercial Bank. The verdict requires her to return $27bn, a sum prosecutors said may never be recovered. Some believe the death penalty is the court's way of trying to encourage her to return some of the missing billions.
Apparently the hope is Vietnam might actually get the money back in exchange for commuting her to life imprisonment or less.

They said they'd change it to life in prison if she gives the money back

There are fates worse than death, Vietnam. People like this would suffer much more being poor and in eternal debt.

Fucking hell, what kind of greed do you need to have to steal up to $44b?

What was she trying to do, buy Twitter?

The thing I never got about this is that if you eat the rich, then won't you now be the rich person and have to be eaten? Unless the idea is their wealth is distributed.

Damn, not a lot of people get sentenced to death for white-collar crimes, let alone women.

Damn she could have bought Twitter for that and grifted even harder.

Moral of the story is if you're going to steal do it from regular people, not rich people or corporations.
