  • Vietnamese law prohibits any individual from holding more than 5% of the shares in any bank. But prosecutors say that through hundreds of shell companies and people acting as her proxies, Truong My Lan actually owned more than 90% of Saigon Commercial.

    They accused her of using that power to appoint her own people as managers, and then ordering them to approve hundreds of loans to the network of shell companies she controlled.

    The amounts taken out are staggering. Her loans made up 93% of all the bank’s lending.

    The scale of fraud was huge.







  • Akudama Drive was rad as hell. GitS is obviously a classic. Belle… is certainly a movie. By all rights it should be such a great movie. The soundtrack is amazing, even the dubs sound good. The animation is beautiful. But my suspension of disbelief can’t handle the game they’re playing. I’ll spoiler tag my main problems with both types of tag, so it should work no matter how you’re viewing lemmy

    Belle spoilers

    Is it PVP or PVE? Is it a massive sandbox? Are the no admins? >!Why is there The Gun That Doxxes People?!< That one is the thing that I really couldn’t take seriously. Like, I can handle the disconnect between what appears to be a PVE world and the PVP elements that we see–maybe it’s just part of the game’s social structure that everyone agrees to no attacking people in cities. I just can’t get over that >!Gun That Doxxes People!<. What psychotic programmer makes that item? How does the game still have players when they know that someone can always come by and >!shoot them with a Gun That Doxxes Them???!<

    Other than that it’s so good. I just couldn’t keep my suspension of disbelief intact.
