At court, lawyer Nguyen Van Hau (defending defendant Bui Anh Dung, former Chairman of the Board of Directors of SCB) asked why Bui Anh Dung was chosen as Chairman of the Board of Directors of SCB. Defendant Truong My Lan said that it was not her choice.

Defendant Truong My Lan does not remember who she gave it to or how much.
Lawyer Nguyen Van Hau continued to ask, is it true that in 2020, Truong My Lan awarded Bui Anh Dung 20 billion VND, and in 2021, she gave him an additional 20 billion VND as a Tet bonus?
Defendant Lan stated: "I don't remember, I only know that Bui Anh Dung is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of SCB, his wife and children both work at SCB; the employees at SCB gossiped a lot so Thanh asked him to tell Bui Anh Dung that he worked for the same period. I told Dung to let his wife take a leave, then I gave him some money to cover living expenses. Because I didn't ask Dung for anything, I don't remember if it was 2 billion VND or 40 billion VND."
Defendant Dung further stated that when he was Chairman of the Board of Directors of SCB, he received a salary of 180 million VND/month, not 500 million VND/month as previously stated because he remembered wrongly.
According to defendant Dung, when he took office in December 2020, he did not receive the State Bank's inspection conclusion stating many violations of SCB. If he had known, he would not have accepted this position.
Defendant Dung is not the only person who received money from defendant Truong My Lan but "cannot remember". At court today, when asked by the lawyer whether she gave former SCB Deputy General Director Truong Khanh Hoang 10 million shares (equivalent to 100 billion VND), defendant Truong My Lan said she could not remember who she gave it to or how much.

Defendant Lan said: "I gave it for no purpose. I gave it to all the people working at SCB and it was my money, it had nothing to do with anyone or SCB."
Defendant Truong My Lan further stated that she never mentioned or remembered what she had given.
"Appointed as Chairman of SCB Board of Directors because he is kind and not disruptive"
According to the accusation, during his time working at SCB, in addition to salary and holiday bonuses, Bui Anh Dung was also given 500,000 SCB shares (equivalent to 5 billion VND) by Truong My Lan.
According to the indictment, Bui Anh Dung worked at Tin Nghia Commercial Joint Stock Bank since May 2009. After the merger, Dung continued to work at SCB in many positions and titles such as: in 2013, he held the position of Director of Ben Thanh Branch; in 2018, he held the position of Deputy General Director of SCB in charge of the enterprise sector; in early 2019, he was a member of the Board of Directors and in charge of the enterprise sector. Later, introduced by Dinh Van Thanh as a gentle and non-disruptive person, Truong My Lan agreed to let Bui Anh Dung become Chairman of the Board of Directors from December 2020.
The indictment determined that defendant Bui Anh Dung actively assisted Truong My Lan in creating fake loan documents and withdrawing money from SCB, causing extremely large losses. Specifically, from April 10, 2013 to September 22, 2022, Bui Anh Dung signed legal documents for 611 loans, causing losses to SCB of VND 291,867 billion.
However, at court today, defendant Truong My Lan stated that she was not the one who decided on Bui Anh Dung's position as Chairman of the Board of Directors.
