The People’s Court of Hanoi charged Duong Chi Dung, the former chairman of Vinalines, as the state-owned company is known, and Mai Van Phuc, its former general director, with embezzling 10 billion dong ($474,000) each, according to an indictment by the Supreme People’s Procuracy. Prosecutors are seeking death sentences for the two men. The trial is the latest high-profile case as the government seeks to curb corporate graft. Vietnam is trying to reform a banking system weighed down by Southeast Asia’s highest rate of bad debt and turn around an economy that grew at the slowest pace since 1999 last year. The central bank governor vowed last year to crack down on violations by groups of shareholders opposing bank reforms.[/quote]
In America, they would just be awarded more money :v: On a serious note, that's a really harsh punishment for just money.
As much as I advocate stamping down on corruption hard, death is way too much.
That's a lot of dong
That's just a tad bit harsh I think.
I guess you could say Dung is in deep shit

Impossible, there aren't ten billion dongs on the entire planet, let alone in Vietnam to embezzle.
