Good thing we (the US) lost the war, or this lady would probably have her own team of lobbyists running their country.

    According to my quick Google search, there are about 100 million people in Vietnam. The average wage is $150 per month. $12.5B shared among each person is $125.

    Why not make her pay that amount instead of a death sentence?

      That’s actually what their “death penalty” is trying to do. Apparently most of the money she stole is in overseas bank accounts and relies on her taking action to actually give it back. She has appeals and if she paid up the appeals will probably back down from the death penalty.
