Nguyen Van Hien arrested for alleged tax evasion

Nguyen Van Hien, Director of Hien Tai Production and Trading Joint Stock Company, has been arrested and detained by Hung Yen provincial police for alleged tax evasion.

Investigations indicate that since 2022, Hien Tai Company has been trading High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) resin to various businesses and individuals across the country. Authorities allege the company failed to issue invoices for sold goods to conceal revenue and evade tax obligations, with the initial tax amount identified at nearly 1.9 billion VND.

Hien gained significant social media popularity through a TikTok video featuring the phrase “HDPE is ngon luon” (HDPE is great), which became a viral meme. He frequently used his large following on Facebook and TikTok to promote his business activities and share advice on investment, entrepreneurship, and wealth creation. The investigation is ongoing to clarify further violations and the involvement of other individuals or organizations.
