Orange County Supervisor Vice Chair Katrina Foley released the following statement on June 6, 2025, in response to the federal indictment against Peter Anh Pham, founder of Viet America Society. Pham was charged with multiple counts of bribery, fraud, and money laundering related to his alleged pocketing of $12 million in pandemic relief funds, in connection to former Supervisor Andrew Do.  

“Andrew Do would not have been able to orchestrate the theft of $12 million in taxpayer dollars without Peter Pham, who knowingly accepted funds meant for vulnerable seniors and those facing food insecurity as a means to get rich quick and launder money back to Mr. Do and his daughter Rhiannon Do.” said Vice Chair Katrina Foley “Pham and Do added insult to injury by using deceptive marketing and promotional videos to mask their crimes and deceive the public. Finally, the co-conspirators involved in this orchestrated scam to steal from taxpayers will be held accountable.”  

Former Supervisor Andrew Do is set to be sentenced Monday on federal bribery charges, accused of accepting more than $550,000 in bribes for directing and voting in favor of more than $10 million in COVID-19 relief funds to a charity he had a personal affiliation with.
