From February 26, 2019, to September 12, 2022, Dung transported a total of VND 108 trillion (over $4.6 billion) and over USD 14,000. Out of this, VND 6,330 trillion ($275 million) originated from Lan's criminal activities.

Tran Thi Hoang Uyen, Lan's secretary since 2012, was responsible for receiving money from Dung and managing credit card payments for Lan's relatives and acquaintances. Uyen was aware that Van Thinh Phat Group and SCB were owned and controlled by Lan, and the money from Dung was sourced from SCB.

Between March 30, 2019, and August 17, 2022, Uyen received over VND 5,824 trillion ($253 million) from Dung, which originated from Lan's embezzlement and fraud. Following Lan's instructions, Uyen transferred this money to other individuals. Uyen also regularly visited SCB to sign documents and complete procedures for depositing money into Lan's husband Chu Lap Co's credit cards without actually depositing any cash.

According to the Supreme People's Procuracy indictment, after committing embezzlement and fraud through SCB and corporate bond issuance, Lan directed her subordinates to launder money to conceal the origins of her illicit funds. This group carried out money transfers out of SCB or drained cash from accounts to obscure and legitimize the origins of VND 445,748 trillion ($19 billion).

The primary cash withdrawals occurred at SCB Saigon Branch. Lan instructed former SCB Deputy General Director Nguyen Phuong Hong (deceased) to coordinate with other defendants to execute the cash withdrawals.

The actions of Bui Van Dung and Tran Thi Hoang Uyen are determined to have facilitated the laundering and legitimizing of the illicit funds obtained through Lan's criminal activities of embezzlement and fraud.
