Authorities disclosed a new round of seizures and bank-account freezes in the ONUS investigation, expanding earlier action that included gold, property-linked transaction curbs and hundreds of suspended accounts.
Vietnamese law enforcement authorities disclosed a fresh round of enforcement actions in the ONUS cryptocurrency fraud investigation, saying police carried out new asset seizures and imposed additional bank-account freezes. The update expands on earlier action in the case, in which the Ministry of Public Security said investigators had seized more than 350 kilograms of gold and silver, frozen transactions tied to eight properties worth VND200 billion and suspended more than 300 related bank accounts. Police filed criminal charges against eight defendants on March 23, alleging they used computer and telecommunications networks to appropriate assets and launder money. The case underscores how crypto-related fraud probes can extend beyond digital assets into traditional holdings and banking channels as investigators trace suspected proceeds and restrict money flows.
