On June 7th, the Bac Giang Provincial Police’s Security Investigation Agency is investigating two suspects, Nguyen Minh Nho (born 2002, Dak Ngo commune, Tuy Duc district, Dak Nong province) and Luu Van Nho (born 1992, Dong Cuong commune, Dong Hung district, Thai Binh province), for their involvement in money laundering activities. This development expands upon an existing case involving an international criminal organization operating out of Cambodia, specializing in online fraud and extortion through sensitive image manipulation and dating app scams.
Nguyen Minh Nho and Luu Van Nho confessed to opening 31 bank accounts, which they rented out to foreign individuals involved in the criminal organization. Since the beginning of 2025, these accounts have been used to launder tens of billions of Dong, extorted from over a thousand victims across Vietnam.

Prior to this development, the Bac Giang Provincial Police’s Cyber Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention Division had already made significant progress in the case. They identified and apprehended three key members of the criminal organization: Vu Quang Quynh (born 1998, Dai An commune, Vu Ban district, Nam Dinh province), Nguyen Van Toi (born 2001, Phu Lam commune, Nghi Son town, Thanh Hoa province), and Le Viet Hoang (born 2004, Ward 13, District 4, Ho Chi Minh City).
This criminal organization has employed a variety of deceptive tactics, including sensitive image manipulation and dating app scams, to extort money from their victims. Notably, they have targeted officials from various sectors, businesses, and individuals across Vietnam, threatening to release manipulated sensitive images unless their demands are met.
