According to the initial investigation results, in April 2024, Lê Bá Nam, Bùi Sỹ Sơn, Đoàn Thế Xuân Hiếu, Nguyễn Ngọc Phương, and Nguyễn Ngọc Chương rented a house in Gia Nghĩa City, Đắk Nông Province, to engage in lending activities with installment payments. In May 2024, Lê Bá Thắng and Bùi Hải Dương joined them.
The group created Facebook pages and linked advertisements to attract potential borrowers.

The investigation agency has interviewed 17 borrowers with a total loan amount of 845 million VND, through which the suspects earned illegal profits of 257 million VND.
On June 21, 2024, the Criminal Investigation Police of Gia Nghĩa City arrested the above-mentioned seven individuals and confiscated 180 business cards advertising installment loans, 81 receipts and commitments along with personal documents, and 14 mobile phones.
The case is under further investigation by the Criminal Investigation Police of Gia Nghĩa City.
