To acquire enough money to pay for the bank, Truong had to borrow 300 million VND at an interest rate of 3,000 VND/1 million VND/day on the black market. He also started gambling in the hope of making enough money to pay for the debt. However, his dept became larger, and finally Truong decided to cheat people out of money.

Through his personal networks, Truong posed as a senior bank staff, and started seeking people with their needs for jobs at banks. He asked his victims to hand him from VND 150 to 300 million as employment fees.

Based on his confession and other information sources, the investigation agency has so far concluded that Truong conducted 14 employment fraud cases and cheated his victims out of nearly 3.2 billion VND.
