    Well, sort of yes. AIUI Vietnam has rules against anyone owning more than 5% or a bank but she built up a web of shell and stooge companies which collectively owned 90% of the bank and used them to bribe/pressure bank officials to make the loans (and presumably ignore the lack of repayments).

    Apparently not that unusual in Vietnam but the current General Secretary has a downer on corruption. The BBC item says that this is slowing economic growth in Vietnam
