Alterno Lawsuit: Court Evasion and Unverified Evidence in Vietnam (SAND - Part 18)

Following the July 2025 events detailed in Part 16, the legal proceedings concerning my unjust termination by the remaining Alterno co-founders continued. During this subsequent phase, a clear chronological pattern emerged: the submission of unverified documents followed by procedural stalling tactics, all while attempting a legally prohibited corporate dissolution to shed liabilities.

The July 31st Hearing and Evidentiary Failures

A court date was set for July 31, 2025. During the proceedings, Alterno submitted multiple documents in an attempt to support their defense. However, critical and important documents appeared fabricated, and only photocopies were submitted, despite an explicit official request from the court for original copies.

Under Vietnamese civil procedural law, unverified photocopies do not meet the strict evidentiary standard required for court acceptance. This fundamental failure prevented these documents from being validated or accepted as part of their official defense. The reliance on these photocopied submissions and the refusal to provide requested originals necessitated further procedural reviews, effectively halting immediate progress and initiating a cycle of delays.

The Pattern of Procedural Delays and Illegal Dissolution Attempt

Following the July 31st hearing, the legal process entered a prolonged holding pattern. Between August and December 2025, the proceedings were repeatedly delayed.
