The named suspects include Vuong Le Vinh Nhan, associated with XPLOR, the Singapore-based parent company of ONUS Pro; Tran Quang Chien, the technical administrator of the ONUS exchange; and Ngo Thi Thao, head of HanaGold Jewelry JSC. The Vietnamese police operation was conducted in multiple locations, summoning over 140 people and seizing relevant evidence. ONUS and its parent company, Vemanti, have not yet released detailed information regarding the case.
