The accused, Yen and Nghia
At the Public Security Agency, the accused initially admitted that, due to their awareness of the demand for bank accounts in Vietnam from individuals in Cambodia for fraudulent activities, Nghia and Yen purchased 64 bank accounts at prices ranging from VND 500,000 to VND 3 million per account from 12 individuals. They then sold these accounts to the aforementioned individuals in Cambodia for illegal profits.
