Edit to my post above: She actually stole 10.7% ($44b) of Vietnam's yearly GDP in total. The 6.6% figure was the amount that she couldn't return. So it's like $2.7 trillion USD in the US. Stealing this proportion of a country's money by one person is simply unprecedented.

Is there a reason she couldn't return that much? Was it already spent or locked in offshore accounts? Or given to other accomplices?

What you just said. Some of the money left the country. Her husband was a Hong Kong businessmen. No doubt a lot of money was “lost” through there.
