However, by reading what his response from Vietnamese forums and The Houston Chronicle following article which is proved Al Hoang “clear by 2 serious charges” and only working on 1 charges (Al Hoang claimed that he did not know the rule of reporting the dates of donations and occupations of donors who gave more than $500 in a reporting period.
