Tracing the victim of Hoang Van Thuan's gold sales scam, urgently need to go to the Investigative Agency!

The Ninh Binh Provincial Police Investigative Agency is investigating a case of fraudulent appropriation of property carried out by Hoang Van Thuan, with the trick of deceiving the sale of gold and appropriating deposits to pay a huge debt of nearly 23 billion VND and more than 500 gold threads.

The Investigating Police Agency of Ninh Binh Provincial Police, through the Criminal Police Division, is currently urgently accepting and expanding the investigation of the criminal case for the crime of "Fraudulent appropriation of property". This serious incident occurred in the area of what is now Giao Hoa commune, Ninh Binh province (formerly Giao Thuy district, Nam Dinh province). The fraudulent method is determined to be the fact that the subject takes advantage of the name of gold business to appropriate the deposit.

Audience portraits and business covers

The mastermind in the case has been identified as Hoang Van Thuan, born in 1978, residing in hamlet 1, Giao Lac commune, Giao Thuy district, Nam Dinh province (now in Giao Hoa commune, Ninh Binh province). In order to create a legal cover, on 09/9/2016, Hoang Van Thuan established Trung Thuan Private Company in Hamlet 5, Hong Thuan Commune, Giao Thuy District, Nam Dinh Province.

This establishment registers for multi-industry business related to precious metals, including: processing, processing, trading in gold, jewelry, fine arts, silver, gemstones, and services of receiving and paying Vietnamese dong. With a methodical business record, Thuan easily built trust to carry out fraudulent transactions later.

Debt impasse and appropriation tactics

According to investigation documents, Trung Thuan's private business is not effective. This establishment was officially dissolved and ceased business on July 3, 2024. However, Hoang Van Thuan's financial situation had fallen into a serious impasse before.

As of January 3, 2025, the total debt that Thuan is bearing is very large. Specifically, the subject borrowed from banks and 34 other individuals with a total amount of approximately VND 22 billion 964 million and 564.5 gold threads 9999. In order to have money to repay debts and solve personal difficulties, Hoang Van Thuan defied the law, used tricks to deceive and sell gold to many buyers, then appropriated the deposit that the buyer had delivered. This behavior has caused particularly serious damage to many victims.

The police call on victims and related people to report

Currently, the Ninh Binh Provincial Police Investigative Agency is urgently expanding the investigation, collecting evidence to strengthen the file and clarify all of Hoang Van Thuan's criminal acts.

In order to serve the investigation and ensure the interests of the victims, the Criminal Police Division of Ninh Binh Provincial Police urgently proposes the following citizens:

The timely provision of information will play a key role in the investigation process, helping the authorities to soon complete the dossier, strictly handle the case and provide maximum support for the recovery of the appropriated property.

Ninh Binh Provincial Police urgently warn all citizens, especially those involved in the Hoang Van Thuan case: During the process of the Investigation Agency expanding the case, fraudsters can take advantage of the victim's anxiety and impatience to carry out acts of profiteering. Be absolutely wary of any calls or texts claiming to be investigators, prosecutors, or relatives of the accused, asking you to transfer money to "run the case," "underwrite assets," or "assist in debt collection."
