A series of "hot" news about Shark Bình's empire.

(Dan Tri Newspaper) - This past week, prominent business news focused on many issues related to Shark Binh's business empire.

What remains of Shark Bình's empire?

At a press conference on the afternoon of October 6th, a representative of the Hanoi City Police announced that, following suspicions related to businessman Nguyen Hoa Binh (Shark Binh) and the AntEx cryptocurrency project, authorities have launched an investigation. Currently, the police have received a report from an individual who was defrauded of approximately $2,000.

In 2001, at the age of 19, he founded PeaceSoft, a software company that later developed into the NextTech Group ecosystem, operating in the fields of fintech (finance and technology), e-commerce, logistics (goods management and transportation), and startup investment with brands such as Nganluong.vn, BoxMe, mPOS, Vimo, etc.

However, NextTech's charter capital has "evaporated" from 500 billion VND to 4.2 billion VND. Notably, Shark Binh also entered the real estate sector with Nextland Investment and Real Estate Business Joint Stock Company.

In addition, Mr. Binh is also the legal representative of a series of other businesses established between 2012 and 2020, such as: Taxially Vietnam Joint Stock Company, Weship Vietnam Joint Stock Company, Shippchung Vietnam E-commerce Joint Stock Company, Hoa Binh Technology Solutions Joint Stock Company, O2O Vietnam Distribution Technology Joint Stock Company, Vietnam Financial Technology Services Company Limited, and 12Trip Joint Stock Company.

However, these companies have all been dissolved and ceased operations.

Besides NextTech, Shark Binh's Ngan Luong Company also reduced its capital by 85%.

Not only NextTech, but its key member, Ngan Luong Payment Gateway Joint Stock Company (Ngan Luong), also experienced notable changes.

In early 2024, Ngan Luong registered a change in its charter capital, drastically reducing it by more than 85%, from nearly 370 billion VND to just over 52 billion VND. Alongside the capital reduction, the company also changed its senior management, with Mr. Dinh Hong Quan (born in 1988) being appointed as General Director and Legal Representative.

AntEx, linked to Shark Binh, is under investigation: NextTech company speaks out.

Microtechnology Joint Stock Company (part of the NextTech ecosystem) has just issued an official letter to its customers and partners regarding information that the Hanoi City Police Department is investigating and verifying the case related to Mr. Nguyen Hoa Binh (Shark Binh) and the AntEx cryptocurrency project.

The company asserts that the AntEx project is a personal investment project of Shark Bình, and is not within the scope of its operations or ownership.

"Mr. Nguyen Hoa Binh is not involved in the management of Micro Technology Joint Stock Company. The company has an independent management team and operates according to a clear and transparent corporate governance structure," the company stated.

Vingroup wants to raise capital.

Vingroup Corporation (stock code: VIC) has just announced the closing of the shareholder list for obtaining written opinions. The opinions being sought relate to the issuance of shares to increase share capital from equity capital and other matters within its authority.

According to the announcement, the record date for shareholders to vote is October 30th. The shareholder voting period is expected to take place in November.

Vingroup's latest move comes as VIC shares surged to their ceiling price of 192,000 VND/share on the afternoon of October 10th, boosting Vingroup's market capitalization to 740,000 billion VND.

What is Hoang Huong's connection with Thien Duoc Pharmaceutical?

The Investigation Police Department of the Ministry of Public Security has initiated criminal proceedings against businesswoman Hoang Thi Huong (38 years old, from Phu Tho province) for violating accounting regulations causing serious consequences.

According to the allegations, during approximately four years of business, Hoang Huong instructed her employees to keep nearly 1,800 billion VND in revenue off the books and to falsely declare over 2,100 billion VND in value-added tax.

Before being prosecuted, Hoang Huong had advertised many products of Thien Duoc Pharmaceutical Joint Stock Company, such as Crilin Women Health royal virgin herb pills and Latimen health supplement - whose main ingredient is Crila royal virgin herb extract...

How much is Thaco, owned by billionaire Tran Ba ​​Duong, worth?

Thaco is not currently listed on the stock exchange; however, its significant enterprise value is attracting attention and was revealed in the Q2/2025 financial report of VietinBank Securities (CTS). According to CTS's transactions, each Thaco share is worth approximately 35,000 VND.

Thaco, chaired by Mr. Tran Ba ​​Duong, currently has a charter capital of VND 30,150 billion, equivalent to over 3 million outstanding shares. Based on a share price of VND 35,000, the company is valued at approximately VND 105,525 billion, or roughly USD 4.2 billion.

Billionaire Tran Ba ​​Duong receives urgent news from the US Department of Commerce.

The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) has just announced its preliminary findings in its anti-dumping investigation into vehicle chassis and components imported from Vietnam.

The DOC stated that Thaco was the only company in Vietnam considered separately, and after the analysis process, the agency calculated the dumping margin and imposed a preliminary duty of 511.16%. This is considered a record-high provisional duty in cases involving heavy industrial products originating from Vietnam.

The DOC also determined that the entire entity in Vietnam cooperated during the investigation. Therefore, the Department decided to apply Thaco's dumping margin to all vehicle chassis goods exported from Vietnam.

Prime Minister: The private sector needs "3 pioneering initiatives and 2 strong growth initiatives" to achieve breakthroughs.

In his concluding remarks at the first Vietnam Private Sector Economic Overview Conference (ViPEL 2025) held on the afternoon of October 10th, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh expressed his hope that the business community and entrepreneurs would implement "3 pioneering initiatives, 2 strong growth initiatives, and one overarching goal".

Concluding his speech, the Prime Minister presented the conference with 20 words: A constructive state - Pioneering entrepreneurs - Public-private partnership - A strong nation - A happy people.

Meeting with the Prime Minister, the leaders of Hoa Phat, FPT, and TH Group shared many special insights.

Mr. Tran Dinh Long, Chairman of Hoa Phat Group, expressed his desire for Resolution 68 on the development of the private economy to be implemented more quickly, creating favorable conditions for businesses. He also suggested that business proposals should be considered and resolved more promptly, and that flexible response policies should be implemented to protect domestic production.

FPT Group Chairman Truong Gia Binh promised the Government that large enterprises would join hands to help small and medium-sized enterprises so that the situation of "every man for himself" would no longer exist.

Meanwhile, Ms. Thai Huong, Chairwoman of the Strategic Council of TH Group, pointed out two bottlenecks. Specifically, the issue of the law not being retroactive. Businesses consider the law as a guiding principle, but the law also needs to be guided by regulations.
