Sure, but at least tar and feather them first.

The Vietnamese government does things like this on a cyclical basis. Every rich person here and everyone in government is corrupt as fuck. The president resigned a few hours ago over corruption. The president before him resigned just over a year ago over corruption. They're all stealing money. New government comes in and puts the old government in jail for corruption. A newer government comes in and puts that government in jail for corruption. Death sentences for people in top positions and bankers and whoever else. But they're all corrupt. Everyone above middle class here is corrupt.

Killing them won't change that.

Man people on this site are so bloodthirsty. Why not just seize their assets and liquidate them?

You really shouldn't call their P gross.

I get what you're saying and I can't say I disagree, but conversely:

Eat the rich

As they say, there are no moral ethical billionaires. In order to enrich themselves so much over their peers, they have necessarily trampled over them.

I do agree that giving a government the official power to just execute whoever they want (it would be trivial to manufacture a case like this in Vietnam) is a very bad precedent to set.

But, I mean, Vietnam is an authoritarian government, so this shouldn't surprise anyone.

They're not exactly known for human rights support.

On the other hand, they actually stopped a genocide in living memory, which is more than you can say for most nations.
