A dozen or so months ago, before those gutter rats from Ba Dinh annihilated this forum the seond/third time, there was a very good thread discussing the course of action that Mr. Tong has taken after the event.
Basically, his lawyers went to the Internal Revenue Service (the infamous and much feared IRS), and made inquiries about the visa status of those so-called "performing artists" from Vietnam.
According to the discussions that I can recalled, it turned out, most those cunning performers, this thing included, travelled to the U.S.A. on a tourist visa (or so, I cannot recall exactly) which does not allow them to work! In other words, they cannot earn any money while in the U.S.A.
Now, they could have easily obtained another type of visa (I cannot remember the technical details), which would allow them to work, that is, to earn money; but they will have to pay taxes.
Being cunning which is their natural way anyway, they intentionally avoided this type of visa: their ulterior motive was to avoid paying tax altogether!

What is McDonalds (the golden arch thing) main business? No, their main business is not selling burgers! No, not at all. Their main business is real-estate! Yes! Land! They now own more prime real-estate than even the Church!
Anybody with even an average IQ can see that the seemingly hilarious thing that Mr. Tong did to that thing was just a steping-stone for the next action that he's taken! One have to figure out the business behind the business!
It turned out, as I recalled, that thing actually owes the IRS around $300K in back tax or so? Anyone can clarify this?
-- In the past, the U.S. government could not get Al Capone on the numerous murders that he had committed; they got him instead on tax evasion: or not paying tax while earning money.
As a consequence, it became harder for the so-called performing artists to ever sneak themselves into the U.S.A. and milk the American-green-cow!

Ladies and gentlemen, that is why they are so bitter!
Mr. Tong is a hero or not, let's the passage of times judges him. As it did to that stinky bloating corpse in Ba Dinh where the rats come from!
