The mastermind and leader of this ring is Tran Ngoc Hoang (36 years old), residing in Binh Hung Hoa ward, Ho Chi Minh City.

To conceal their crimes, the suspects created and used anonymous accounts to communicate through various highly secure social media platforms such as Telegram, Zalo, and Facebook; they also frequently changed their communication methods, used SIM cards not registered in their names, and used intermediary bank accounts to evade law enforcement.

Accordingly, Tran Ngoc Hoang used a Super (super agent) level football betting account to log in to the website agbong88.com. From this account, Hoang used electronic devices and information technology to create, manage, and grant access to many subordinate accounts, forming a multi-tiered gambling system, including 9 Master accounts (general agents), 9 Agent accounts (intermediate agents), and 104 Member accounts (direct players).

Through a tightly structured hierarchical system, the suspects lured many people into online football betting across numerous provinces and cities nationwide.

From the beginning of 2026 until the time of its dismantling, the total amount of gambling transactions conducted through the system operated by this network reached over 600 billion VND.
