CEO of "Who is that person" Tong Dong Khue lost the lawsuit and had to pay his girlfriend 44 billion.

More than two years after the case was filed, on the afternoon of October 14, the People's Court of Ho Chi Minh City announced the appeal verdict on the property dispute between Ms. Doan Thao Nhi (31 years old) and "hot boy" Tong Dong Khue (26 years old).

Accordingly, the court rejected all of the defendant's appeals, forcing Mr. Khue to return VND 43,995,619,987 to Ms. Nhi. The temporary measure of banning Mr. Khue from leaving the country was also maintained until the sentence was completed.

According to the case file, Doan Thao Nhi and Tong Dong Khue met and fell in love around 2020. Trusting each other, during the period 2020-2022, Ms. Nhi transferred money to Mr. Khue many times with a total value of more than 106.8 billion VND, mostly for the purpose of investing and buying and selling supercars.

Documents show that during this time, Ms. Nhi made dozens of money transfers, including large amounts ranging from several hundred million to tens of billions of VND for Mr. Khue and partners in the luxury car industry. Part of the transactions related to the purchase and sale of car models such as Rolls-Royce, Maybach, Ferrari were determined to total more than 53.7 billion VND.

The relationship between the two people was not registered as a marriage. The plaintiff argued that the above amounts of money were civil transactions between two individuals, not joint property or marital support. Meanwhile, Mr. Khue argued that the two had held an engagement ceremony and "lived as husband and wife", so the money transfer was an act of sharing and supporting out of affection, not a legal obligation.

At the first instance trial held by the People’s Court of Region 15 (Thu Dau Mot City, Binh Duong), the court ruled that Mr. Khue must return nearly 44 billion VND to Ms. Nhi. Disagreeing, the defendant appealed the entire verdict, requesting a review of all content and evidence.

During the appeal hearing, the People's Court of Ho Chi Minh City examined a series of bank statements, transfer documents, statements of related persons, and additional evidence and documents provided by both parties.

Pursuant to Clause 1, Article 14 of the Law on Marriage and Family, the court affirmed that there was no legal marital relationship between the two people, so it was impossible to cite the property obligations between the husband and wife to exempt them from the responsibility to repay. The panel of judges determined that the reason "because of feelings" given by Mr. Khue had no legal value and was not sufficient basis to reject Ms. Nhi's request for property.

During the debate, the defendant claimed that some of the money was voluntarily transferred by Ms. Nhi, or was a joint investment that resulted in a loss. However, Mr. Khue did not provide specific evidence, nor did he have a written confirmation or text message showing a request from Ms. Nhi.

The testimony of the third party, Mr. Phan Cong Khanh, who had traded cars with Tong Dong Khue, showed that he only worked directly with Mr. Khue and did not know Ms. Nhi, proving that these payments cannot be considered to have been directed by the plaintiff.

The documents, vehicle inventory and profit and loss book submitted by the defendant also do not prove Ms. Nhi's investment role or her agreement to share the risk. On the contrary, the plaintiff presented detailed bank statements for each transaction, with clear transfer content, showing that she actively transferred money to Mr. Khue or to third parties at his request.
