The ONUS case in Vietnam has finally made progress, with 700 billion VND involved and 350 kilograms of gold seized — a scale considered significant in Southeast Asia.

According to a report by the Vietnam Law Newspaper, the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security has disclosed the progress of the ONUS digital currency case. The Security Investigation Bureau (A09) of the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security stated that the police filed the case on March 23, 2026, and prosecuted eight defendants on charges including using computer networks, telecommunications networks, or electronic means to commit property appropriation and money laundering. The police said that since 2018, the suspects have used digital currencies and multiple "ecosystem companies" to create circular transactions, attracting individual investments, and the total amount of electronic currency sold to investors exceeded 700 billion Vietnamese dong (approximately 26.8 million USD). The police have received more than 2,000 reports, initially seized over 350 kilograms of gold and silver, and blocked eight real estate transactions worth 200 billion Vietnamese dong (approximately 7.7 million USD).
