UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v.

LE VAN HUNG, a/k/a "Hung Van Le," a/k/a "Van Hung Le," Defendant.

The Grand Jury charges:

OVERVIEW

1. From at least in or about 2020, through in or about May 2024, LE VAN HUNG, a/k/a "Hung Van Le," a/k/a "Van Hung Le," the defendant, and others participated in a sprawling, transnational scheme to launder at least approximately $67 million of illegally obtained funds (the "Money Laundering Scheme"). The Money Laundering Scheme benefited a multinational media company headquartered in Manhattan, New York (the "Media Company"), certain entities affiliated with the Media Company (together with the Media Company, the "Media Entities"), and the Chief Financial Officer of the Media Company ("CC-1").

THE DEFENDANT AND RELEVANT ENTITIES AND ACCOUNTS

2. At all times relevant to this Indictment, LE VAN HUNG, a/k/a "Hung Van Le," a/k/a "Van Hung Le," the defendant, has been employed by a particular foreign office of the Media Company (the "Media Company's Foreign Office"). The Media Company's Foreign Office is

[UNREADABLE EXTRACTION]located in a country other than the United States (“Foreign Country-1”). HUNG is based in Foreign Country-1.

3. Certain of the Media Entities, including the Media Company, are headquartered in Manhattan. The Media Entities have held bank accounts with a particular bank (the “Bank”), which is headquartered in the United States. The Bank’s deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).

THE DEFENDANT’S ROLE IN THE MONEY LAUNDERING SCHEME

4. LE VAN HUNG, a/k/a “Hung Van Le,” a/k/a “Van Hung Le,” the defendant, recruited and managed various co-conspirators, including co-conspirators who worked with the Media Company’s “Make Money Online” team (the “MMO Team”), which was located in the Media Company’s Foreign Office. Members of the MMO Team and others used cryptocurrency to knowingly purchase tens of millions of dollars in crime proceeds. The MMO Team and other participants in the scheme purchased the crime proceeds at a discount and transferred those proceeds into bank accounts held by the Media Entities.

5. Members of the MMO Team and other scheme participants moved the crime proceeds into the Media Entities’ accounts through tens of thousands of layered transactions utilizing, among other things, prepaid debit cards and financial accounts that were opened using stolen identification information, including the personal identification information of U.S. residents. Some of the crime proceeds were further transferred into bank and cryptocurrency accounts belonging to CC-1.

6. In or about 2020, the Money Laundering Scheme caused tens of millions of illicit dollars to be transferred into the Media Entities’ bank accounts. In fact, that year, the Media Company’s internal financial accounting reflected an increased annual revenue over the previous

2year of approximately 410 percent—from approximately $15 million to approximately $62 million. A significant portion of this increase was attributable to the Media Company’s Foreign Office, including the MMO Team.

In or about 2020, LE VAN HUNG, a/k/a “Hung Van Le,” a/k/a “Van Hung Le,” the defendant, recruited a co-conspirator (“CC-2”) through a social media platform to assist the Money Laundering Scheme. HUNG directed CC-2 to, among other things: (a) obtain at least one prepaid debit card, receive funds to the card, and transfer the funds to the Media Entities’ bank accounts; (b) use CC-2’s U.S. address to receive in the mail physical prepaid debit cards that were issued in the name of individuals other than CC-2, and transfer images of those prepaid debit cards to HUNG; and (c) call the Bank and falsely claim that CC-2 was the account holder of a certain account by using the personal identification information of the purported account holder so that the Bank would unlock the account, so that HUNG and his co-conspirators could move funds in and out of the account.
