In addition to his LUXURY WACTH store located on Nguyen Binh Street in Dong Trieu Ward, Dat also conducted online sales via platforms such as Facebook, Tiktok, and Zalo.

Further investigation revealed that from 2022 until the end of 2025, Dat's business generated revenue that was not declared or taxed, resulting in nearly VND 125 million in evaded taxes.
