According to investigators, the criminal organization operated in a tightly knit manner, with specific job assignments for different teams and groups, seeking out Vietnamese victims and relying on pre-planned scenarios to carry out fraudulent acts to seize property. The more people they defrauded, the higher the rewards they received.

Dinh Van Quan (residing in Thanh Hoa province) was assigned the task of directly carrying out the fraudulent activities. During his time working there, Quan defrauded approximately 1.5 billion VND from Vietnamese victims. The total amount of salary and bonuses Quan received was approximately 150 million VND.
