In May 2012, Mai and Tuan Anh introduced My Xuan to serve a man named N at her home in District 2, Ho Chi Minh City for $2,200. Xuan received $1,000 and the remaining was for Mai and Tuan Anh.

After working as a prostitute, Miss South Mekong 2009 Vo Thi Xuan became a pimp.

Xuan and Hoa formed a high-end prostitution ring, with the participation of models and singers, to serve rich men.

In April 2012, Xuan introduced a beauty named D to serve a man at the price of $1,000.

On June 2, 2012, Xuan introduced two girls to serve “clients” at a hotel in HCM City, at the price of $3,000. These girls and their clients were caught in the act. From the testimony of these girls, the high-end prostitution ring was uncovered.
