The Fifty-Five-Year-Old Patrol Officer Was Scammed & Turned to Work in the Scam Rings, Fired from His Position, and Sentenced

The punishment is still, NOT enough, considering how this WAS a police officer, who’d started, “moonlighting” for the, scam rings!  Off of the Newspapers, translated…

The Changwha Police was working a case of scams, found nine of the victims had, wired the money into the traffic patrol officer, Tu’s account, and found, that he got scammed for virtual currency investment, and was in need of quick cash, offered up his personal bank account to the scam rings to launder the money, and he was also working as a delivery pickup for the ring as well.  The Changwha County Police Department announced that he’d been given two major reprimands, and, cut off from the list of police officer candidacy.  The Changwha District Court found him guilty of organized crimes, sentenced him to two years nine months.  This can still be appealed.

The police department stated, that the fifty-five-year-old officer, Tu originally was a member of the traffic patrol officers, invested in the virtual currencies and had been scammed, due to how much money he’d lost, started in July of 2022, he’d offered up his bank account to the scam rings to use, and also worked as a delivery pickup for the ring, the police department of Changwha County had initiated the investigation, and asked the Changwha D.A.’s office to assist.

The verdict pointed out, Tu became a part of the “Scotland Bank Manager”, “C.E.O.”, an unknown scam ring, and worked alongside Yang to start up a investment scam organization, offered up his personal savings accounts from the post office, China Trust, Taiwan Cooperative Bank, and Land Bank of Taiwan, from  July to September of 2022, Wu and other victims had wired anywhere from $4,000N.T.s to $250,000N.T.s to his accounts, Tu withdrew the amounts out, handed the money to the scam ring members, then, Yang exchanged the amount into U.S. dollars, then, wired to the unknown foreign scam members’ accounts, so the police can’t chase the sources of the money, Tu received a total of $17,000N.T. for his work.

Tu denied that the amount was from working as a delivery person for the scam ring, but had reached settlement agreements with Wu and eight other scam victims, and the total amount was higher than $17,000N.T.  The judge weighed that Tu worked as a police officer, clearly, he would have a very clear idea of the massive number of scam cases, knowing that the ring had, caused the citizens to lose massive sums of money, but still got enticed, offered up his own account, picked up the drops, and handed off the sums, sentenced him to two years nine months.

See, this is why these SHITS are, still happening too many cases a minute, because there’s NOT a severe enough punishment, you get only, almost THREE short years, for causing someone to lose their entire life’s, savings, and, what do you think these convicted felons had learned, after they’re done, serving the time?  Absolutely, NOTHING, and this CONMAN was a police officer, and he needed to be punished, even MORE severely, for working for these, scam rings, as he was originally, a member of the law enforcement officers.  But he still only received, almost, three, SHORT, years.

My FAVORITE Time of the Y-E-A-R…

Letting MY SACARSM get the best of me here…

My FAVORITE time of the Y-E-A-R, is APRIL, not just because it’s my birth month, for I could care LESS about that, but because it’s, wait for it……….TAX SEASON!

And, every year, ‘round this time of year, that BITCH (do I need to reiterate who that might be again???) goes completely, P-S-Y-C-H-O (and note: the “P” is NOT, “silent”!!!), because OMG, I can’t get my Compuserve account log in, I can’t get my amount for the taxes I have on my JNJ shares which had been carried OVER from that mother FUCKERS past of working for the god DAMN company, yada, yada, yada, yada, and, it’s NOT just all in that TINY brain of hers that this SHIT’s going on, oh no…

This SHIT spilled out to everything in the house, and frankly, I couldn’t give a FUCKING (so???) RATS’ ASS about paying MY taxes (feel free to call the I.R.S., and report me on my “tax evasions” as if I have those, the dollars and cents I made are too, measly to get “charged” for the taxes here, ‘k???).  And, this is cyclic, every single April, because it’s TAX TIME, and, as the end of April approaches, that BITCH would get more and more, anxious by the clock (and yes, I can use the CLOCK like those biological clocks to “measure” this shit!)…

buried by so much, paperwork…photo from online

And this shit will keep on repeating, ETERNALLY, until she finally decides hey, I had enough of this SHIT, I’m selling EVERYTHING that your father (that LOSER again!) gave me, and I’m finally done with this SHIT.

But until then, I’ll be, STUCK in this, annual cycle of hearing her rant on, and on, and on, and there’s just NO way out, in short of, pulling the trigger that’s aimed as my, big OVERSIZED, bobblehead, and in which case, I know for a FACT, that the bullets in that revolver (a lot of rounds???) will all get, JAMMED, and I still don’t get to, KILL myself…

And note to all: I’m NOWHERE N-E-A-R SUICIDAL right now, a little HOMICIDAL, maybe, but NOT suicidal here!

Wanting to Make $30,000N.T.s, the Woman Smuggled Three Million Dollars N.T.s Worth to Heroin in Her Shoes

Knowingly, you’d, trafficked the heroine, and you got caught, and, because you were, truthful about it, didn’t dodge your responsibilities in the criminal behaviors, you might get some, leniency, and this was for, $30,000 MEASLY (considering what the risks WERE), dollars…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The Malaysian woman, Lin came on flight last Christmas, was suspected of trafficking 685.13 grams of heroin in her sneakers, in two separate packaging, with the black market selling price of at least three million dollars N.T.  As Lin entered through customs, the customs officers found something odd, stopped her, and the illegal substances were, found, the Taoyuan D.A.’s Office indicted her on trafficking level one illegal substances, drug smuggling charges.

caught, trafficking, on this, ISLAND of, DRUGS!!! Photo from online

The indictment pointed out, the thirty-two-year-old Lin was told by an unknown male, A of a drug trafficking cartel, and the WeChat individual nicknamed “Cookie”, trafficked the heroin from Malaysia to Taiwan; “Cookie” told her to meet him at the LeQuadri Hotel at Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia first on December 24^th of last year, where A gave her a pair of sneakers with the insoles of bags of heroin on it, along with the Malaysian Ringgit amount of 4,800 to her.

Lin stated, the following day, she’d put on these sneakers with the insoles of heroine, took the morning flight of Malaysian airline MH-366, came to Taiwan.  The flight landed at 4:28 that afternoon, and when Lin was checked by the customs for arrival, she was found by the customs officers to have something odd in her sneakers, and she was, pulled out, after the Justice Department’s Taoyuan City Investigation Department’s checking, the investigators found two packs of over 600 grams of heroin in the insoles of her right shoe.

During the investigations, Lin admitted to trafficking the substances, and there were the records of arrival of Lin, her communications with the man, A, Cookie, and others as evidence.  The district attorneys stated, that Lin was completely truthful in the interrogations, admitted to trafficking a level one controlled substance, that if in her trial, she’d also, admitted to this honestly, they will recommend to the courts, to reduce her sentence.

Yeah uh, I really don’t know WHAT this is: either enticed by the offers of huge sums of cash, or just, simply being, STUPID, or maybe, you were, expecting to get caught, who knows???  And, this still just showed, how Taiwan is now, an ISLAND of CRIME SPREES, with the drug traffickers, the scam artists, running, loose.

He’d Felt Weird, But Didn’t Check, the Driver Delivered the Drop to an Unpopulated Location, and Got Sentenced

And that sorry excuse would be???  “Your honor, I did NOT know that these were, stolen, credit cards, I was only, hired for a, job!”………….off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

An individual cabdriver, Hsu was suspected of taking the asking of a scam ring, went to pick up the drop of the ATM cards sent by the victims in a super convenience store, and, delivered, the package to the specified locations as told to him by the scam artist rings, the farthest location he’d driven to was fifty-seven kilometers, he’d received a pay off of $3,115 for a total of four pickups and drop-offs.  As Hsu was arrested, he’d claimed that he didn’t know he’d delivered the stolen credit cards of the victims, but the judge believed, that the work was not the same as the normal delivery service drivers, still charged him on four counts of accomplice of fraud, and that he needed to serve a total of six months in prison.

The investigators found, that the scam artists on July 13^th of last, managed to get Shue’s three A.T.M. cards, as Shue mailed them out in a package, he’d found something wasn’t quite right, and reported it to the, police.

Three days later, the man, Hsu went to the two separate locations to pick up the drop from two super convenience stores, and, as he’d been told, took the packages to the water tower by the split of the road to the tourist factory on the water freeway of Chiayi, and picked up the $2,000N.T. of the money that he was promised to, receive.

And the police were there before, as Hsu went to pick up the package at the super convenience shop, he was arrested, the two packages were, confiscated.  The investigation showed, that in that one month, Hsu picked up a total of FOUR packages as was told to him at the designated locations, and earned the illegally made profit of $3,115N.T.s.

Hsu denied the involvement in scam, the attorney told, that Hsu was only following orders, gone as he was told, by the delivery service network, to pick up the packages, and left the packages at the designated locations, to earn his keep, he’d not known where the packages were sent from, and as he’d accepted the job, then, the slip would show the details of the orders, and after he got into contact with the clients, then, he’d been told, where to, drop the packages, off to, and as he’d signed on the order slips, he couldn’t cancel as he wished, otherwise he would be penalized, and can only, fulfill the delivery, orders.

hello, the DROP-OFF location was, OFF-the-MAPS, and that should raise a RED FLAG! Photo from online

The attorney stressed, the demands made to his clients were sometimes absurd, and Hsu never thought, that the contents inside the packages were the savings ledgers, or the A.T.M. cards, or anything relating to scams.

The judge found, that the accepting the delivery slips weren’t all completely, automated; that the package pickup that Hsu had done, was different than that of the ordinary errand runners picking up the packages, that it’d been found unreasonable, that the terms of the delivery, the frequency of the deliveries, that the distance of the deliveries are about seventy-five kilometers, and, based off of the costs of operations, it’s just not, probable.

And, as Hsu testified, “I’d delivered the packages for a long time, never had I encountered such a strange case, as I saw the location of the drop, I’d felt, a bit, weird.”, concluded that Hsu was well aware that he was doing something that wasn’t, ordinary, but he’d not turned it down, that he’d not, cross checked the facts, that this wasn’t, normal.

And so, this scam pickup delivery person’s excuse was???  Oh yeah, you did NOT know any better!  Maybe you didn’t know, at first, but I’m more than certain, that you started having an idea of that you’re, doing something ILLEGAL, after that first, two, three times, I mean, how DUMB can you get?  The scam artist had you delivered the packages to an uninhibited location, and you’d driven, how far to make your deliveries again?  Those should be the RED FLAGS, but, apparently, you were too, hooked on the monetary offers, to know right from wrong.

Almost, There, a Poem

Those, Hatred that Got Nowhere to Go

Ends Right Here

Always, Lost to the Glories by a Minimum

A Far, Far Ways Away

From the Sentimental

The Colors, Not Visible Enough

Can’t Catch up to the, Bright and Shiny Colors

Of the Sadness, the Sorrows, or the, Losses

So, this is on how, things never quite, catches up to the times, we’re always, trying to reach that mark of greatness, and yet, every time we though we were, too close to reach it, someone lifted the goal higher up, and we’d, had to, begin from, ground zero again, and we get caught, in this, endless, pursuit of, reaching what we can’t, ever, accomplish in our, lives…

The Air, My Friend

Getting through the end of last year, entering into this brand new one, every tiny breath should be taken as, a huge, blessing…the column by Jimmi Liao, translated…

Congrats, for Getting through the Days, and the Years Too.

Congrats, Being ALIVE, is the HIGHEST Achievement You Can, Ever HAVE.

So, this seemed, too, menial, doesn’t it?  Being alive, and we should feel blessed by just that?  That’s not enough, NOT according to modern day man’s terms, because we are all in pursuit of more things we want, more we want to own in materials, and we forget, the most important thing of all, every BREATH we inhale, and exhale out…

The Unspoken

How as she’d compared her rate of earning, it’d made her upset, how the status quo doesn’t really matter, when you’re, feeling hungry, how things became, returned to the most basic of our needs, and all the pursuits of money, higher pay, fame, reputation (yada, yada, yada), no longer, mattered…translated…

There was a boss I’d worked for who’d, openly stated to the employees, which subjects we couldn’t, discuss at, work, like politics, religion.  Based off of how many temples and the voting rates are high in Taiwan, of course, NOBODY followed the rule, even the boss couldn’t follow this rule of his, own.  A lot of times, when subjects are, tabooed, they’re, more talked about often, the unspoken subject in the office, of them all, wages ranked, at the, very, top.

In my years as a rookie, I’d done tons of, stupid, things, naturally, they’d included, stepping on this huge landmine of, my payrate.  On a day off, there was only me and a recently hired employee, working our, overtimes.  During break, we’d started chatting, he’d complained about his wages.  And from before, I’d heard him complained one too many, times already, and now we’re, alone, I could no longer, pin down my curiosity, asked him how much he got, paid, as he’d told me, I was way too shocked, in the moment, I’d, also, blurted out loud my own wages.  He is, a good man, and the number I’d called out, made him, silent for a few, seconds.

The few hours after that on the day, I’d, kept my head down on my desk, tried to keep up my appearances of a working class, and, that tiny person in my mind, don’t know how many times she’d, rolled over.  So, the coworker who’d, complained about his low payrate makes, $20,000N.T. more than I, do, and, this difference, had, sent me, to the valleys of the, lows.  I was so unhappy for many months after this, to the point, of finding an older schoolmate, who’d begun working long before I had, to talk.  At the time, the older schoolmate who was the assistant director asked for our work experiences in detail, when we’d started working, the departments we worked in, she’d, rolled her eyes to the back of her, head.  She’d told me, that the difference between me and the coworker wasn’t just the work experiences, but because in my department, there are, six, to seven different work titles, that so long as I’m willing to work hard to learn, then, I will be able to, climb that ladder higher, higher, and higher still, but, my coworker’s department had a lower ceiling, and got the wages that she’d wanted when she was hired, because there was only a limited “climbing space” for her in the department where she works.

My older schoolmate had, warned me, without the context, the discussions of wages is mostly, meaningless, that I should, NEVER, discuss my wages with anybody else ever, again, because no matter whose is higher or lower, someone will be, displeased.  In truth, even if she’d not warned me about this, I will, NEVER discuss wages with anyone else I work with again, and, as I’d learned the truth, the shock that’s occurred in me then, still tilted me a little to even this very, day.

Reason why I’d been so very, sensitive of the wages was probably because it’s not just the cash I earned, but it’s related to that sense of security, the defining of my, self-worth, along with, love too.  From unable to retire if I have eight-digit saved up, to the comparisons of how much we’re making on New Year’s Eve at the family gatherings, to the point of how our parents are, dividing up the, assets, money became equivalent to dignity, worth, as well as, love too.  So long as we have the money, it’s, as if, we have everything, and, people either talked too much about this subject, or, not a word of it.

But, we will, get to the point of we don’t care anymore eventually.  After I’d quit my work, I’d tried working in jobs I’d never imagined I would, like for many times, I’d wanted to ask the female owner of a Vietnamese sandwich shop who always was about to erupt, when she had too many tasks to handle, that if I can get a free sandwich, by waiting the tables for her?  Before that physical, concrete Vietnamese sandwich, sense of security, self-worth became, totally, meaningless.

So, this is on how values get, redefined for us, we get too caught up in how much everybody is making, and we’d compared it to our payrate, and of course we would be, displeased, because there’s always that someone else who does a whole lot less and gets paid a whole lot higher than we are being, paid, but, the point is, how we, define our own selves, like this writer said at the very end, when she’s hungry for bread (something concrete and physical that she can hold in her, hands), everything else she’d, pursued went, out the, windows!

Israel’s Trying to Survive at ALL Costs, Causing the Country to Become the Perpetrator

If someone tried to ERADICATE you, wouldn’t you FIGHT, for your own right to, survive?  Fighting to the RIGHT, to EXIST on this, planet, that’s the origins of the wars in Urkraien, also in Israel too, can you, BLAME the Israelis for fighting to SURVIVE?  Of course N-O-T, but this is the governments’ WAR, with the PEOPLE living in these places, getting, SACRIFICED!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The Isarel-Hamas Conflict had continued for more than two months to date, and although U.S. hoped for a ceasefire from Israel, but Israel ignored, and started, attacking the Gaza Strip just the same, and Biden can only, hope on his own, that Israel can, aim more precisely AT the leader of the Hamas in three weeks, to reduce the casualties of civilians.  And, with no end of the Israel-Hamas Conflict in sight, Israel went from the international victim to the international perpetrator already.

the Russo-Ukranian…fighting for the territorial, rights of the land! Photo from online

Awhile ago, a friend with the humanitarian concerns from Germany came to Taiwan to visit, and in our meet up, we’d spoken of the Russo-Ukrainian and the Hamas-Israeli Conflicts.  To the former, he’d spoken strongly against Russia, and worried that Ukraine might become too fatigued, but to the latter, he’d only stated, that he hoped the conflict could be over soon.  My friend’s response toward the Hamas-Israeli conflict, reminded me of a conversation with a Polish individual working in a German company, he’d told, that his German coworkers refused to talk about the Israeli-Hamas Conflict at work, and as he’d asked them privately about it, he’d learned, it was because the coworkers felt ashamed of Nazi German’s behavior toward the Jews in the Holocaust, which caused them to not have a valid perspective to speak again or for the violent behaviors of Israel in Gaza.  And, this is probably why my German friends are so hushed up about the Israeli-Hamas Conflict.

The world had commemorated the murdered Jews in the Holocaust, and tolerated Israel for close to eighty years, taking over the land of the Middle East, sacrificing the rights of life of the, Palestinians.  Although Biden warned Israel, that increasing the battle forces of war would cause massive numbers of civilian deaths, which will cause Israel to lose international support.  The senior researcher of international relations in UC-Berkeley, Dailia D. Kaye believe, that Biden already noted how the extreme right government in Israel is the core of the problem of the Israeli-Hamas Conflict, so the U.S. needed to adjust its policies toward the Middle East seriously now.

the Israeli-Hamas Conflict, fighting to SET up their own country, to LIVE in a country without PERSECUTION from without! Image from online

Toward this, the PM of Israel, Netanyahu made a televised speech, stressed, that the Israeli-Hama Conflict is a war of survival, that Israel will withstand all the pressures, at ALL costs, and in the future, that Gaza Strips will be the non-military zoned under Israeli control.  At the same time, he’d told Sullivan, the National Securities Consultant of the U.S., that Israel will continue to fight until Hamas is completely, wiped out, to get that definite, victory.  And yet, he’d still had to consider, even IF Hamas is, completely, eradicated, there will be another anti-Israel organization that surfaces, because the hostility between Palestine and Israel had been going on for centuries.

Netanyahu’s proclamation was a slap across the U.S.’s claims that the Israeli forces isn’t to occupy the Gaza Strip, that the Gaza Strip should be ruled under the Palestine self-government.  “The Diplomatic Affairs” and other important journals already predicted, that Israel, other than planning to eradicate ALL members of Hamas, take over the entirety of the Gaza Strip, the country also planned to exile all the Palestinians, to MAKE Gaza into, Israeli territory.  The famous historian, Rashid Khalidi stated, the Israeli-Hamas Conflict is the results of the mistakes in foreign policies of the U.S., and he’d even, flat out criticized Biden’s policies on the Middle East.

From the standpoint of U.S. in the Israeli-Hamas Conflict, it’d shown, once again, the double-standards of U.S. in diplomatic affairs and foreign policies, because at the same time, the WH wanted the war to be over to reduce the casualties of civilians, the American government had, supplied the ammunitions that Israel wanted in the war, and, the behaviors of U.S. had caused the lives lost in many more civilians in the area, let alone, how it had, with one vote, voting against the plans of ceasefire of Israel-Hamas.

And, finally,, the Israeli government is NOT the representation of all Jewish population, like how Hamas isn’t a name for all the Palestinians.  Israel seemed to have lacked empathies for the victims in the past, and now, it’d lacked tolerance for all the victims in the Gaza Strip.  As the extreme right governments in world’s countries are rising up, the voters of Taiwan must, be even more careful, in electing the next, president.

and soon, in THIS, CENTURY…because WE want NOT the COMMIES to come and RULE us! Photo from online

And so, this is, borrowing from international goings on, how these leaders don’t have the best interests of the people of the land in mind, they only wanted more territories, and, that’s why the wars are happening in the world, and the world’s, a total, mess, and, this is not about race, it’s about allowing another group of people who may share the same roots as we do, to have their own ways of living, to allow them to be who they are, and that, is the BASIC RESPECT that we as a global planet need to show everybody we come into contact with, but we can’t have that, because if we have that sense of respecting one another, then, these countries would NOT be at war, and nobody is going to DIE, but, this is not how the world works here, unfortunate, so, we can have the outlooks of, more war leading us into, the next century to come.

Ke Became the Milkmaid in The Milkmaid & Her Pail

How the presidential candidate allowed the thirst for power get the better of him, destroying his own chances, of working together side-by-side with the KMT, to take DOWN the DDP, and this showed that he wasn’t honest enough, that he couldn’t, keep true to his words, and why would we want a LIAR, to rule over us???  Are we the people, that STUPID???  God I hope not!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The cooperation of the KMT and TPP went BUST, Ke, who’d been making trouble, switching back and forth repeatedly, all the way, in the end, could only get the daughter of the legislator of the TPP to be his, running, mate.  Ke refused to be second to Hou, and Terry Go refused to be his vice president, Lai also, went, bust too, and so, he’d been, forced to pair up with Wu in the end.  After the toss and turns of the thunder, the lightning, and the rain, did Ke actually, gain what’s precious, to him?

This story reminded me of Aesop’s Fable’s “The Milkmaid & Her Pail”.  The milkmaid thought, “I can buy the eggs with the money I sold the milk for, then, the chickens would hatch.  As the chickens grow up, I can sell them, and buy me new clothes, and get a ton of suitors to fall for me; but I will, shake my head, reject every one of them.”, and, as she’d, shaken her head, the milks spilled out of the keg she was carrying on her head.

As the KMT and TPP signed the six agreements, that was Ke’s best opportunity, and the futures of the TPP became, unobstructed and, bright.  At the time, he’d, proclaimed, “taking the DDP out of office is my, ultimate, goal!”, of the sixth agreement, “the TPP will be primarily responsible for supervising the balances of powers.”, that was, what he’d, sown down, “I wanted the justice department, the FSC, the NCC, the Department of Treasury, the Budget, Accounting & Statistics Executive Agency to be under my control”, but immediately, he’d, torn his promises up, because of the oppositions of his placement, continually using the differences in the polls to try and get himself the upper hand, and finally, the KMT had had it with him.

and, here’s that story in animation, in case anyone needed a “brush-up”, off of YouTube

Ke’s dreams of ruling, included the control over the justice department, the department of treasury, NCC, and all of these, were originally possible too, only as he was willing to keep his words, to work together with the KMT.  But, for Ke, this wasn’t, quite enough, he’d, destroyed his own beliefs, gone back on his, words, insisted on being named as the presidential candidate on the rosters; so, what had the man who can only, shake his head no, get in the, very, end?

The fables aren’t written for the children, the adults need to understand them too, especially for the adults, seeking the power positions.  Ke had, singlehandedly destroyed the chances of the TPP and KMT collaborating, and, a lot of the voters, would NEVER, vote for him.

And so, this is how it went, the presidential candidate from the TPP got too power-thirsty, and, destroyed his own, chances, he may have the ambitions of becoming a president, but he got, too, power-thirsty, too, greedy, the KMT had already, let him have a lot, and yet, he’d still, wanted more and more, and more, and more, causing the KMT to say, ENOUGH is ENOUGH, we do NOT need the TPP to work together, and that, is how Ke singlehandedly, DESTROYED his own chances, of doing something GREAT for this, “country” (are we still ones???).

The Case of in the Scam Rings, the Scammer Was Taken and Tortured, Called the Cops, and Was Rescued Out

That is, how it goes, when you go to the, bad side, and start going AGAINST the law, you get, SCREWED!  Call this, KARMA if you will…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The twenty-four-year-old Lin got his friend into working for the scam rings, the scam rings suspected that Lin’s friend had taken the $3.5 million N.T. stolen money for himself, on the fourteenth, had someone took Lin by force, kept him locked for three days, forced him to sign a $7 million N.T. cashier’s check, in exchange for his own freedom; Lin took the time when the suspect who was watching him was dozing off, called the police for help, the police traced the call, and twelve hours later, they found the motel where he was kept, rescued him, and arrested four suspects, after the district attorneys interrogated the suspects, they got out on bail.

The local police searched around a one kilometer radius of where the call was traced, and found nothing, and traced the data from the cell phone, found that Lin was from Taoyuan, after filtering through the data that came in, Lin’s girlfriend, Yang confirmed that after the last call from him on the 14^th, she’d lost contact with him.

The specialist task squad expanded the search, and confirmed that Lin had been abducted by car on the fourteenth, and managed to trace the GPS of his cell phone, and found he was abducted and taken to a motel in Bali, at the bridge of Guandu; at 1:15 in the midnight hours on the eighteenth, the police breached in, and got Lin out, arrested the thirty-four year-old suspects, Wu and Lai, the eighteen-year-old Hsieh, and Chu who is nineteen, confiscated two tasers, and eight cell phones.

Lin told the police, he was introduced by a friend into the scam ring, his friend was suspected by the ring to take the stolen $3.5 million N.T. of scammed money, the members of the ring came to him, told him to turn his friend over to them.  After he’d gone to visit his girlfriend in Bade on the evening of the fourteenth, he’d taken his scooter in for a fixing, and the members of the scam ring abducted him by car.

Lin told, he was blindfolded, tied to the back, first, driven to the city of Pingdong, then, to the motel in Hengchun, then, they took him up to Danshui, Hsinbei City, and in the three days, he was beaten, tased, and tortured, and forced to sign a loan slip of seven million dollars N.T.; during the time, when the kidnappers were asleep, he’d, used his cell phone to call the police, then, immediately, turned the phone off.

The suspect, Chu admitted to abducting Lin for being told to, to get back the $3.5 million N.T.s, the other three claimed that they didn’t know what they’d signed on for; the police after interrogations, charged the suspects on assault and kidnapping, after the D.A. interrogated the suspect, Chu’s bail was set at $60,000N.T. the three other suspects’ bail were set a $30,000N.T. each.

And so, you didn’t know what you’d, signed on for?  I mean, you MUST have the sense of you are involved in something ILLEGAL!  How RETARDED can you get?  This is still, blinding following the BAD leader at work, and now, you will all get, charged with kidnapping, physical assault, and money laundering for the ring!
