Former Taiwan President Imprisoned--- I have been waiting for it, and finally


From Vicky Fan:

As a Taiwanese, our former president- Chen Shui Bian entered prison on Tuesday was the biggest news so far in Taiwan history. I was going to wait see what’s would happened in the couple days, and I saw someone post the news already. Then I have to DEFINITELY write something about it.
People can read the article online- “Court order detention of Taiwan ex-president”, and I have been watched Taiwan news channel since Monday about this news. Main reason is our former president- Chen’s entire “family” and “governors” that worked for him were extremely corrupted. Two- three years ago, there were rumors about the corruption, but he was the president, so the legislation system couldn’t take any actions. The original case found out back 2-3 years ago was Chen’s wife used President special expenses to buy a Tiffany diamond ring.

In May, we elected our new president, Ma Ying-jeou, which is opposite party of Chen, and that’s when all the investigation of Chen’s corruption started again. Later on, we found out Chen and his wife has bank accounts all over the world in Switzerland, Japan, the United States, Singapore, and the Cayman Islands. The money sent to different people’s accounts and then transfer back to their accounts (includes his son and daughter’s account). This is a very OBVIOUS money laundering case, and the entire family was denying and lying about it ALL THE TIME.

So far, the prosecutors have collected numerous solid evident about Chen’s corruption. They have detained our former head of “CIA” officer, Chen’s personal accountant, Chen’s personal secretary, Chen’s brother in-law, and other head officers of private corporations which helped Chen’s corruption- total of 9 people in the jail. Besides people’s testimony, and there are so many evident that prosecutors have found- paper documents, receipts, name lists…etc.

In the past 4 months, Chen was claiming the money in his/ his family bank account which he has “stolen” was the funding for Taiwan’s independency. The rumor has claimed that the total amount might excess over half billion US dollar, but so far, AT LEAST $21 million has found. I feel shame on Chen. He was a great lawyer in the past, and now he is the biggest liar in Taiwan’s history. He had a lot of press conferences and lied about his corruption. During the press conferences, he always accused about the other party tried to make the rumor about his corruption until now he still says himself is innocent. The phoniest part was Chen would despite all the evident prosecutors have shown in front of him, and he still claim this is a political persecution, and Ma (our current president) is partnering up with China to “kill” him. Also he still made speech while he has hand cuffs on- “Long Live Taiwan, political persecution.” This is just a JOKE to me, and Chen eliminated basic human morality. I am still waiting the day that he truly apologizes to entire Taiwan about what he has done.
