In Vietnam a bank executive has been sentenced to death for fraud:
According to the BBC, the former head of a major Vietnamese bank has been sentenced to death for his role in a fraud case involving some 800 billion dong (which sounds like a lot of dong, but equals roughly $35 million) of illegal loans. Nguyen Xuan Son, who served as general director of OceanBank, was convicted of embezzlement, abuse of power and economic mismanagement. Bank founder, tycoon Ha Van Tham, and dozens of other banking officials are also on trial, accused of lending violations.

Meanwhile in the US, corrupt bank CEOs either retain their jobs or retire with generous golden parachutes. None have been prosecuted, let alone sentenced to death, for their apparent crimes.
How do you feel about this? Is Vietnam overreacting, or is the US too lenient?
