Victims paid the subjects more than 60 billion VND

The Hai Duong Provincial Police's domestic security force is the first unit in the country to expose and clarify the fraudulent behavior of the Vietnam Bronze Drum Original Energy Organization (hereinafter referred to as the Original Energy Organization).

Based on the results of this investigation, on May 3, 2024, the Investigation Police Agency of Hai Duong Provincial Police initiated a case, prosecuted the accused, and temporarily detained Hoang Thi Hao (born in 1969, in Ke Sat town, Binh Giang district, Hai Duong province), Tran Thanh Van (born in 1986, in Nam Dinh city, Nam Dinh province), Nguyen Nhat Linh (born in 1990, in Viet Tri city, Phu Tho province). These are the "followers and disciples" who effectively helped this organization deceive the people.

The Investigation Police Agency of Hai Duong Province Police has summoned and worked with active members of the Representative Board, Service Board of the Original Energy Organization and other key members in many provinces and cities across the country. These subjects have admitted that the use of original energy to "heal" and support treatment is vague, not real, has not been verified by any agency, and has no value in treating diseases.

Currently, most of the core members of the Original Energy Organization have abandoned their activities and disbanded the group. Many have livestreamed to express their opinions, refute the organization and apologize to the community.

On December 20 and 24, the People's Court of Hai Duong province brought the three defendants to trial on charges of "Illegal provision of information on computer networks and telecommunications networks". The court sentenced Hoang Thi Hao to 2 years and 6 months in prison. Tran Thanh Van and Nguyen Nhat Linh were each fined 300 million VND. Previously, these two defendants had been detained for 5 months.

Currently, the founder of this organization, Le Van Phuc (from Dong Nai, American nationality), is still abroad. The police have separated the actions and documents of Phuc and related subjects to continue verifying and handling.

Some people, after studying and practicing original energy, do not see the effectiveness, and at the same time realize the absurdities of this subject, so they want to give up and refute it. However, because they are ashamed of their family and friends, afraid of being condemned by the community of people studying original energy, afraid of being punished by Le Van Phuc and "Mr. Original Energy"... they do not dare to publicly boycott and condemn it.

Ambiguous tricks to gain illegal profits

As reported by Hai Duong Newspaper, during the investigation, the Internal Security Department of Hai Duong Provincial Police determined that the Original Energy Organization took advantage of sick people to spread false propaganda, exaggerating the miraculous effects of "original energy".

This organization believes that in the universe there is an energy source called “root energy”. If humans receive it, it will upgrade the frequency of brain activity, stimulate stem cell activity, help improve physical and mental health and solve problems related to health, food, poverty, etc.

Although the core members of the Original Energy Organization have been dealt with, the consequences for the victims are still very severe. The police determined that those who participated in the original energy course paid and contributed more than 60 billion VND, including many victims from Hai Duong. There are 96 people in Hai Duong who paid 2.5 billion VND to the subjects. Many people attended classes abroad, paying from 500 - 2,600 USD/person.

The trick of the original energy group is to take advantage of effects, psychological therapy, and beliefs. Taking advantage of the philosophies and teachings of some religions and folk beliefs to force participants to believe in what this group propagates. This group often uses concepts such as "healing" and "support" to avoid legal regulations on medical examination and treatment.

Hoang Thi Hao is one of the 7 members of the Original Energy Representative Board in Vietnam. Tran Thanh Van is one of the hosts of the program "Unifying love to create happiness" on the YouTube channel and the programs and videos of the YouTube channel. Nguyen Nhat Linh provided technical assistance in creating the YouTube channel to post videos about Le Van Phuc's original energy subjects on social networks. The subjects propagandized and attracted people to participate in classes taught by Le Van Phuc in the form of live and online. The participants were mainly middle-aged people, retired officials, the elderly, people with health problems, etc.

When participating in online classes, members are informed about the principles, activities, and how to practice the formula of transmitting and receiving original energy to heal themselves and transmit energy to heal others. There are many superstitious and untrue contents, such as practicing according to original energy will cure many diseases, including serious diseases such as cancer, paralysis, infertility, etc.

Since then, many people have believed in and contributed money to support the activities of Original Energy, and traveled abroad to attend direct level 4 and level 5 classes of Original Energy in Thailand, Malaysia, and the US.

The consequences of propagating Original Energy cause patients to develop the mentality of not needing to go to medical facilities for treatment or to miss the golden time for treatment, affecting the spiritual and religious life of a part of the population, causing psychological confusion, affecting people's health and the life of each family.

From the documents collected by Hai Duong Police, the Ministry of Health, the Government Committee for Religious Affairs... have issued a document concluding that Le Van Phuc's act of propagating the use of original energy to influence sick people for the purpose of treatment in Vietnam is a violation of the law, and at the same time, those who practice this method in Vietnam are also violating the law.
