What's left of Shark Binh's empire?

At a press conference on the afternoon of October 6, a representative of the Hanoi Police Department said that, in response to suspicions related to businessman Nguyen Hoa Binh (Shark Binh) and the AntEx virtual currency project, the authorities have stepped in to verify and investigate. Currently, the police have received a complaint from an individual who was robbed of about 2,000 USD.

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 - technology), e-commerce, logistics (management - transportation of goods), startup investment (startup businesses) with brands such as Nganluong.vn, BoxMe, mPOS, Vimo...

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

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

Prime Minister: Private economy needs "3 pioneers, 2 strong" to break through

In his concluding remarks at the first Vietnam Private Economic Panorama Conference (ViPEL 2025) held on the afternoon of October 10, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh hoped that the business and entrepreneur community would implement "3 pioneers, 2 strengths and one consistent goal".

Meeting the Prime Minister, the bosses of Hoa Phat, FPT, and TH Group had many special things to share.

Mr. Tran Dinh Long - Chairman of Hoa Phat Group - expressed his hope that Resolution 68 on private economic development would be implemented more quickly, creating favorable conditions for businesses. Business proposals need to be considered and resolved more quickly, as well as having flexible response policies to protect domestic production.

Ms. Thai Huong, Chairwoman of TH Group’s Strategy Council, pointed out two bottlenecks. Specifically, the issue of non-retroactive laws. Enterprises consider the law as a guideline, but the law also needs guidance.
