Having money doesn’t mean you’re civilised, and some rich people are like a school in summer: no class. One woman in Hà Nội City proved this point recently, stopping in front of a shop in the city at 1:00 am on October 14. Spying two beautiful flower pots outside, she drove close to the shop, popped out of the car, grabbed the two pots with bonsai trees in them, put them in her car and drove off. As her luck would have it, the whole thing was all recorded by the shop’s security cameras. The shop owner who got the pots stolen quickly posted the clip on Facebook, with the caption "You are so strange, you have VNĐ700 million to buy the car, VNĐ15 million to get driving license, why do you steal two flower pots worth VNĐ500,000 of mine?” “I don’t miss the few hundred thousand đồng , but the bonsai tree pots I put in front of the shop are the lucky charms for my business.” Hopefully justice will be served and the thief is prosecuted, but while money doesn’t buy you class, in … [Read more...] about A woman driving a luxury car steals two flower pots worth just $22 at midnight

Buying property under assumed names is a popular method of money laundering. — VNS Photo Công Thảnh Viet Nam News ĐÀ NẴNG — The 2015 penal code includes revised articles and supplements to fight money laundering. Chief Justice of the Supreme People’s Court Nguyễn Hòa Bình said at a workshop in Đà Nẵng yesterday that some of the regulations are unclear, and guidance is needed to ensure the laws against money laundering are effectively carried out. "Money laundering criminals often disguise illegal sources of money from their offensive activities with sophisticated means. So, we need a law enforcement force with legal knowledge support and the comprehensive legal system to fight the crime effectively," said Bình.
