(Dan Tri) - The indictment accused Thanh "Bet" and his accomplices of loan sharking by using the form of lottery.
The Hanoi People's Procuracy has just issued an indictment to prosecute Doan Quoc Huy (31 years old, in Cau Giay district, Hanoi, aka Thanh "Bet") for the crimes of Extortion of property and Loan sharking in civil transactions.
According to the indictment, in 2022, Thanh "Bet", Nguyen Khang Nam (32 years old), Nguyen Quang Anh (36 years old) and Truong Van Thang (28 years old, all living in Hanoi) each contributed 400 million VND to lend money at high interest rates by using the form of "bat ho".
Thanh "Bet" and his accomplices lent money in 25-50 day packages, with interest rates of 4,000-8,000 VND/million VND/day, equivalent to 146%-292%/year.
To operate, Thanh "Bet" created a chat group "HCN2" to exchange information, and at the same time asked Nam, Thang and Quang Anh to set up subordinate agents, including a team leader and team members.

In which, the team leader directed team members to post advertisements in credit lending and bad debt groups on Facebook to find information and phone numbers of customers in need of loans and then transact with them.
When a customer arrives, the team members will ask for a photo of the customer's ID and address to verify. If the conditions are met, the customer will be given a loan.
To get the money, borrowers must pay the subjects a processing fee of an average of one day's principal of the loan and have their interest cut in advance. From 2022 to 2023, Thanh "Bet"'s gang established 5 groups.
To manage employees and revenue and expenditure activities in the groups, Quang Anh registered 3 accounts including "Phattailoc66666", "Phattailoc9999" and "Phattailoc99999" on the 1Cash.Info page.
According to the indictment, this website has features for managing pawnshops and financial loans with a cost of 1.8 million VND/account/month. Quang Anh assigned the accounts to 5 groups for management and shared use.
During the lending process, if a customer is late in paying their debt, the team leaders will ask team members to remind them. If the delay is too long, the borrower will have shrimp paste, cooking oil, etc. thrown into their house.
The profits are divided among the 4 "shareholders" 25% each, after deducting the costs of rent, account rental on 1Cash.Info and salaries for team leaders and employees.
The team leaders were paid 7 million VND/month by Thanh "Bet" and his accomplices and were given 5% of the total interest collected from customers under their team's responsibility.
The members are paid 5 million/month and receive money from collecting fees for processing loan applications.
The prosecution agency accused the "Thanh Bet" gang of lending money to dozens of people at high interest rates, but many people refused to report. Therefore, the prosecution agency was only able to identify 45 cases.
From March to December 2023 alone, according to the indictment, this group let 16 people pick their bowls, illegally earning more than 205 million VND.
