In Da Nang, authorities have initiated a criminal case and prosecuted Tran Thi My Hanh for “fraudulent appropriation of assets.” 

Investigations indicate that beginning in July 2025, Hanh targeted personal acquaintances by providing false information regarding investment opportunities in wholesale, liquidated, and household goods. She reportedly used social media imagery to fabricate profit margins and utilized a scheme where funds from new investors were used to pay principal and profits to earlier participants to build trust. 

In reality, no legitimate business activities occurred, and the misappropriated funds—estimated to exceed 15.4 billion VND from three victims—were used for personal expenses, debt repayment, and paying previous investors. The Da Nang Police Investigation Agency is seeking additional victims or organizations who may have transferred funds to her.
