Fake relationship masquerading as marriage

My friend is humming with energy and happiness this morning as she came into Starbucks for her “venti shaken ice coffee with nine pumps of Classic and 75% coffee and 25% cream.” 

Decked out in a silk blouse, leather skirt, and simple classic pumps sans her work accoutrements, she did not linger for conversations nor settle in for the usual meet. 

Perhaps tomorrow. 

Having already penned many posts for this blog, I hesitate to publish them, dreading they might inadvertently derail my friend’s court hearings in the days ahead. A firm believer in the saying, “First do no harm,” [that is attributed to Thomas Inman as recently as 1860 and not as part of the Hippocratic Oath as widely believed], I am going to bide my time in releasing my writing and the documentations supporting my arguments. 

In the meantime, as I work my way through her journal about her experience, I will quote from her diary, and then follow with my own opinion, if need be. 

… 

More than a year after removing myself from the situation did I realized that the “marriage” I was in was a fake relationship. One that looked like a relationship on the surface—we spend a lot of time together, we had met each other’s loved ones, and other people refer to us as a “couple.” But appearances aside, I was not having a real relationship—one based on love and characterized by harmony. … 

… My marriage was nothing more than a temporary bridge to this psychopath’s green card, work authorization, an ambitious climb up the federal and academic job ladders, and eventual citizenship in the United States—a fake relationship masquerading as a real relationship. 

Instead of love, harmony, support and understanding, it was characterized by: 

a. The same patterns of the same issues and same arguments again and again that seemed unable to be resolved permanently or successfully. 

b. That back-of-the-mind feeling of unsafe or misunderstood, as if I had to shut down a part of myself. A relationship cannot be real if you constantly feel like your significant other just does not get you, and that you are not free to say exactly what is on your mind. 

c. Power struggles in proving or disproving someone is right. I did not care to play the role of the victim or the perpetrator, nor was I vying to be one. Does it even matter who is right and who is wrong? I did not care who wins, only that we resolve the issue once and for all so we can move forward together. Looking back, I know now that that was never going to happen. 

d. Real relationships are hard work but when you are consistently feeling drained with your significant other, watch out and heed that warning sign! Especially if you are a person like me who invests a lot in being a responsible person. Sure, everything takes effort, but are you not supposed to feel happy and at ease with each other when making an effort on their behalf?

...

Finally, I am able to see my “blind spots” that doomed me to keep pedaling the cycle of pain and struggle. 

Finally, I am able to move forward in creating that joyful, loving and connected relationship we all deserve. … The truth can set you free—you just have to live through the pain first before you can breathe freely. 

Here’s to initiating the things I know will make me feel complete, whole, and in the driver’s seat of my life. 

I second that, wholeheartedly!  

Stay tune, and until next post,

About this blog 

Excepting this introduction and what are—and will be—posted after March 2015, this blog mirrored a now out-of-commission blog, http://ya-chang-lin.blogspot.com, which was taken down on October 21, 2013 by its author Phandeluys Truong. 

The author's original contents and supporting documents were captured by multiple means from the above-mentioned blog while it was alive and active. There may have been a glitch here and there that prevented me from downloading the complete blog as it had existed. Thus, readers familiar with the original blog may find a few missing posts and/or comments. Those postings that I was able to grab and preserve in their entirety are reposted here under my name, however, all rights remain that of the original author. 

This series of posts documents the fraudulent, sometimes criminal, and frequent unethical/immoral activities of Ya-Chang Robert Lin, a Taiwanese native of mainland Chinese parentage, who defrauded a naturalized US citizen, Phandeluys Truong, into a marriage that had been his shield against USCIS for his intentional violations of immigration law: 

as a nonimmigrant F-1 student, he had willfully operated an international students recruiting business without prior work authorization from the then United States Immigration and Naturalization Service; 

as President of said business, he had knowingly helped both mainland Chinese and Taiwanese students to evade military drafts in their countries by facilitating their applications to study in the US and abroad; 

as President of said business, he had knowingly helped both mainland Chinese and Taiwanese students looking to enter the United States with the intention of gaining permanent US resident status under the pretense of studying; 

as President of said business, he had purposely evaded paying taxes on the commissions received from it and failed to report the earned income to the IRS by having the payments wired back to Taiwan to his mother Chang Hsueh; 

he had applied for reinstatement of his F-1 or student status and a change of status, while knowingly withheld the preceding facts on his own applications for permanent resident and citizenship in the United States. 

And those are just the tip of the iceberg. Ya-Chang Robert Lin had been employed at AAFES or The Exchange headquarter in Dallas, Texas as an information technology auditor, where he managed to steal—by downloading to CDs that he kept in his personal possession while abiding for time and opportunities to "do business" in Taiwan and/or China—thousands of his colleagues’ Social Security numbers and personnel files while working on one of its HR projects. The HR data on one of these projects became the basis for an academic paper, speaking proposal for ISACA, and a consulting business he was "collaborating with " [more like conning other people into developing and fronting for him]. 

Ya-Chang Robert Lin is a reprobate with a seared conscience. Lacking normal capacity for empathy, remorse, and reciprocation of good will, he is addicted to lying, cheating, and stealing for the pure pleasures derived from being able to get away with it. Because he is such a good liar—so charming and well versed in manipulation techniques and acting skills—it is hard to distinguish him from reprobates. 

Ya-Chang Robert Lin was able to dupe some of the smart people in federal government, higher education, and information technology auditing and security. Among his legacy: A son who refused any connection with him and wished that he were dead.

Lies, lies, and more lies—let's expose them, one by one

Here at the Starbucks frequented by Phandeluys to find her accompanied by her “significant other” and partner in ballroom dancing and teaching. 

Her companion is tall, polite, confident, straight talking, strong, young—at least 10-15 years her junior. They draw many furtive glances their way, perhaps due to their age difference, though my friend does not resemble a woman in her forties, except for that tinge of grey in her hair … 

I do not see what is the big deal with a mature woman taking a dip in a junior demographic; we men do it all the time, so why exclude women from the fun? Aside from the physicality, what matters are dependability, trustworthiness, and giving your heart completely, even if it is a spring fling. And I am not insinuating theirs is. 

He is tenderly and somewhat possessive toward her—it is not enough that they are holding hands, but he keeps trying to wrap his arm around her as they work on their GitHub projects. Possessive, definitely—a characteristic of many South Koreans I have seen but not overly dominating. I think my friend would not tolerate the latter very well, given her personality and inherent dislike of all those “negative emotions” and “clinginess” in relationships. … 

Well, that did not make my day, but it is her show and her song, so let him sing harmony to her melody. 

As I had promised to write about some of those outright lies psychopath Ya-Chang Robert Lin had engaged in telling under oath and on the stand during the trial on or about July 2014, here goes one. 

Psychopath and habitual liar Ya-Chang Robert Lin claimed to not know the reason why his “marriage” failed apart other than perhaps his wife—my friend Phandeluys—might have been having an affair with another man, and that was why she had withheld sexual intimacy in their “marriage.” 

What psychopath Ya-Chang Robert Lin failed to mention was that his habitual uncleanliness—see that post here and the pictures here and here; there are also medical reports for diagnoses and treatments of his private part resulting from his lack of good hygiene but I will not post those on this blog [email me if you are that kind of readers and want copies]—that caused Phandeluys to refuse to be intimate with this psychopathic and lying pig in a semblance of a man. 

Straight out from my friend’s diary: Not to be unkind, but would you want to explore another person’s body if you are repulsed by his hygiene just to make him happy and to cultivate and keep the domestic tranquility you’ve always wanted? Not when the cost of sex—in terms of time, energy and missed work—is prohibitively high. And that is just supply and demand in action.

Most of the time, I am too tired and too angry—not in the mood—to jump into bed with a dirty and icky person who has a serial, almost childlike misrepresentations to avoid criticism or responsibility … I have tried to lovingly express my reservations about his lack of hygiene, only to be harshly rebuked or punished by his passive aggressive behavior. I am aware that marriage is work but it is too much for me to deal with my sexual needs, his habitual lack of personal hygiene, and his hurt ego when I broach the subject. … Unless you're in a comatose, it is plain common sense that good personal hygiene is a turn on for someone like me who showers at least once a day. If you want a happy and available partner, come to bed clean. Simple. … Some things are worth fighting a battle over. Sex with this person is not one of them. The costs far outweigh the benefits.

Supply and demand and cost-benefit analysis, indeed—not very complicated principles to grasp for a psychopath who claimed to have studied Economics.

Results of the accidental crowdsourcing of the translation of psychopath Ya-Chang Robert Lin's original birth certificate

I was reading through some of the court transcripts of the trial and am amazed at how much lies there were coming out of psychopath Ya-Chang Robert Lin’s mouth. 

I am already aware how he disses this country’s immigration laws by lying on his applications for student visa, green card, and citizenship [see that post here] but to unashamedly lie while under oath and on the stand, well, I should have anticipated that. It is not too far a leap to jump from fudging on applications to USCIS to lying under oath in the District Court of Denton County. 

I will delve into some of those lies in the coming posts. But for now, I wanted to let readers and subscribers know that I have received your personal translations of this habitual Taiwanese liar and psychopath’s birth certificate, along with the certified copy I had had translated from a company that USCIS itself uses. 

Its posting on this blog will have to be delayed, pending my friend’s hearing, however, I can assure you that your translations are not too far off the mark, and that we are justified in labeling this cover-up poseur a liar and a psychopath.

A psychopath's lesson in money and savings

Late last night, I was browsing through a private forum that hosts therapeutic writing by teenagers and found this piece by my friend’s son about his first lesson on money. 

I think it ties in nicely with the post about the hauntings of 1205 Shamrock Drive in Flower Mound, TX 75028. 

Only a small portion of the essay is reposted below. 

Okay, assuming that there are ghosts in your house, can ghosts take your money if you leave it lying around? 

When I was much younger than 16, I would leave the allowance that I receive from both my mother and grandmother, about $60 every month, out in the open space of our house—on the dining room table, on the kitchen counter, next to the stairway rail, et cetera—only to find the money missing when I come back to retrieve it after several days. 

Almost always, I would asked my father if he might have seen my money and/or taken it only to have him denying ever seeing my money, then blaming “the ghosts” that reside in our house for wanting to teach me a lesson in “savings,” and after a few weeks of witnessing my angst and growing suspicions, admitting he “might have seen” my allowance lying around the house and picking it up for “safekeeping” before telling me that since I was careless about my money and he had picked it up, my money now belongs to him. 

Of course, I could not argue back but in the back of my mind, what he did is what I would define as “stealing.” And that is how I "branded" him. ...

I still leave my money lying around the house; I am just more careful whenever my father is around, especially if I think he might see it.

A quick post revised

Seems that my friend was served this morning to appear in court for a hearing on a Motion for Enforcement. 

She does not look too worry or anxious, though, as she reads her Shakespeare while sipping her coffee. That’s a good sign. 

I had been meaning to complete that other post before, but became hesitant after journeying deeper into Phandeluys’ diary. Without muting her voice, though, I am going to spill the guts of that other post below. 

I am reading through Phandeluys' digital stack of documents, which had been retrieved from the hard drives and laptop she had discarded and among which included her legal pleadings; the length of this digital mound would make War and Peace short reading. 

Now, I truly understand why she insisted on annulling her marriage after 15+ years. 

I would, too, had my heart, hope, dream, and family been exploited and maimed by a spinner who makes up lies faster than anyone can question him, accompany by total absence of anxiety, fear, worry and guilt where there otherwise would be, and the fundamental concepts of honesty and kindness. 

In her digital diary, Phandeluys wrote that love is a basic human right and an individual choice—choices based on our values, beliefs, and perceptions of where a selected one may take us—and that marriage is a business in which we invest our lives. 

In normal circumstances, choices are difficult because at times, we cannot collect all the data, analyze the options, and reach a sound conclusion resulting in a decision that we will have to live with. But what if the choices we made were the result of spreading misinformation and defensive maneuvering—including playing dumb, stalling, bluffing and misrepresenting—meant to deceive us and to drag the people we love into violating the laws? Is the choice we made then still the choice we must live with? Should we not be allowed to right the wrong? 

That’s the question she was struggling with, and a question am pondering. 

I am experiencing what she must have felt, and I have been terribly offended.  

Stay tune, and until next post,

Thank you, readers, and keep them coming!

While my systems went on their scheduled automatic maintenance, I headed off to Starbucks to catch a glimpse of my friend on her coffee break. 

Do not know what she is working on but seems like she has Mark Russinovitch’s Process Explorer installed on the laptop that she uses for virtualization and data processing. Interesting! 

She’s also studying—highlighting and note taking seem heavy-handed for a pleasure as leisurely as reading—Data and Goliath by Bruce Schneier, one of my favorite authors and “one of the world’s foremost security experts.” 

Anyway, just a nod thanking the readers and subscribers of this blog for sending in all your information as it relates to Ya-Chang Robert Lin and that may help my friend in her upcoming hearing. I will ensure that relevant and missing information find its way to Phandeluys.

The hauntings of 1205 Shamrock Drive, Flower Mound, TX 75028

Thanks to M.F. for the following interesting tidbit about the house at 1205 Shamrock Drive, Flower Mound, TX 75028, my friend’s residence for 10 years until it was sold in early 2015. 

It was posted on Phandeluys’ social channel. The content is reposted below. 

It's been quite some time since my last posting ... been busied with multiple projects and settling into my new place ... immensely enjoying the lack of hauntings that had plagued, scared, and intrigued me for the last 10 years. Initially, I had thought that the hauntings were somehow related to me and my interest and experiments in the metaphysical arts and sciences ... now, am convinced the house itself is haunted by multiple spirits from the world beyond. I have had ... well, read for yourself the warning I wrote and posted on the walls to potential buyers of the property at 1205 Shamrock Drive in Flower Mound, Texas 75028.

I would not want anyone to experience what we had experienced without a fair warning ... never thought a newly-built house would be haunted yet it had been from the very first day we moved in and up until the very last day when I was moving my things … Even as I was driving away, I could still hear my name being called to stay ...

Stay tune, and until next post,

Many more posts must wait ...

It seems that the hearing for my friend’s new trial is canceled and has not been rescheduled, so I am left with lots of posts that I had to write, accompanied by a stronger feeling for doing what is right for my friend and her cause … 

Now, I am heading off to a dancesport or competitive ballroom dance class my friend has been co-teaching with her partner. Truth be told, I am not much into dancing—regardless of style—but I am curious about Phandeluys’ passions. And after that first session, I find myself hooked by the way my friend and her partner dance their choreography combining the American and International Tango. It is powerful, energetic and exotic. It brings out that craving in me to develop and master the finer art in ballroom dancing. What can I say ... beauty and passion do not need to be justified. 

Oh, and just in case some of you are wondering, this class is not your typical dance class for the average social dancers. It is a three-hour long class: the first hour is for reviewing, mastering, and dancing the basics. I am not kidding when I say that the basics are strictly enforced in their class. If you are just looking to learn patterns and how the patterns are combined into a choreography that you can take to the social dance floor, their class is not for you—look into other classes by other instructors. We have had one couple “released”—in a very polite and friendly manner—from class simply because they short-circuited their practice during class. 

The second two hours is for diagnosing, dancing, and mastering the particular dance technique—usually advance—of a dance style that is being taught during a particular month. I love this component of their class. It is where the students are invited to bring a video of a dance technique they and their partner have been trying to learn, yet and for whatever reason, have not been successful in understanding, duplicating and mastering. 

For example, last week, a student brought in a laptop on which there was a YouTube clip showing a couple performing the International Style Silver Tango patterns of Promenade Link, Reverse Promenade Link and Overturned Four Step and wanted Phandeluys and her partner to diagnose, demonstrate, then teach the patterns so that he and his partner—and the class—can learn it. I had a blast just watching Phandeluys and her partner trying to decode, dance and then teach the steps in those two hours. 

I have to say that that level of transparency—their willingness to laugh at themselves and with their students as they analyze and establish the how-to of the pattern under study—is very rare in any instructor but especially so for an “amateur” couple whose backgrounds are not dance-related in any way. In a world of narcissistic dancers and ersatz instructors who constantly look down their superior noses at you while hiding their techniques, it is refreshing and energizing to be around instructors who are strict in their philosophy toward teaching, learning and practicing yet the environment that they create is such that the students are relaxed enough to absorb, learn and share. 

It boosted the confidence of many students to see in “real time” how Phandeluys and her partner applied their knowledge in troubleshooting not just their own but the students’ specific dance-related trouble spots, with the parties usually ending the class in a state of delirious happiness. 

It also puts me in the right frame of mind for success and enjoyment of the coming night. 

Stay tune, and until next post,

Meet Chinese-Taiwanese conman and fraudster Ya-Chang Robert Lin of AAFES or The Exchange | Will the real one please stand up!

Bet you can't ace this multiple-choice question:

Who, who, who is Ya-Chang Robert Lin or Robert Ya-Chang Lin or Robert Lin or YC Lin? 

a. A Taiwanese native born to Taiwanese parents who were born in Taiwan. 

b. A Taiwanese native born to mainland Chinese parents who were born in the Szechuan Province of China. 

c. A Taiwanese native born to a Taiwan-born father who worked as a laborer and a Taiwan-born mother who worked as a school teacher. 

d. A Taiwanese native born to a Communist Chinese father who worked as an engineer and a Communist Chinese mother who worked as school teacher before they immigrated to Taiwan to work as a laborer and a school teacher. 

e. None of the above. 

f. Answer is dependent on what and who Ya-Chang Robert Lin or Robert Ya-Chang Lin or Robert Lin or YC Lin needs to become and for which purpose at any moment in time. 

Are you confused? So am I, thank you very much. 

Would his original birth certificate help us to clarify who he is versus who he claims to be?

Well, it is not of much help to those of us lacking fluency in Chinese. But there is the certified translation of the original certificate that we can preview. 

Alas, there are two of those: 

The first certified translation is by Loanwords Translation Service in Kaohsiung, Taiwan on December 28, 1995, which stated that both his father and mother’s native place was in Wan Hsien, Szu Chuan, Province of China. The former’s occupation was listed as labor; the latter’s, teacher. Their address was in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan at the time of Ya-Chang Robert Lin’s birth. Keep in mind that this is the birth certificate that Ya-Chang Robert Lin submitted as part of his immigration applications, first for F-1 student visa to enter the United States to study back around 1995; second, for US permanent resident, around 1998 then again around 2004 through 2006; and third, for US citizenship in mid-2013. 

It is also the one Ya-Chang Robert Lin claimed, while under oath and on the stand during the trial, to have not recognized. Conveniently enough for Ya-Chang Robert Lin and his legal team, this original certificate "went missing" after it was introduced into evidence by Phandeluys. In her digital diary, the majority of which I was able to retrieve, my friend wrote in detail about how every members of the court tried in vain to find this missing piece of evidence while Ya-Chang Robert Lin "alone sat in his chair smiling, looking as though nothing out of the ordinary had happened." 

The second certified translation is by Ya-rong Zhou of Sino-U.S. Translating & Notarizing Co. in Plano, Texas on July 21, 2014, stated that both his father and mother’s native place was in Tainan County, Taiwan. The former’s occupation was listed as engineer; the latter’s teacher. Their address was in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan at the time of Ya-Chang Robert Lin’s birth. Notice the date on which this certified copy was produced—July 21, 2014, around the date of the original jury trial for my friend’s annulment suit. Thus, I am inclined to think that this “certified” certificate—by a Licensed Court Translator nonetheless, must have been produced solely to pull the wool over the eyes of the court and the jury.

 
When I first read about this in Phandeluys’ legal documents and her digital diary among the text I had retrieved from her cast-off drives and laptop, my first question had been whose idea was it to have another certified copy of the original Chinese birth certificate translated with data that was obviously doctored? The psychopath himself or his cadre of cheating attorneys. But then I realized that was a wasted thought—both are of the same breed, otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to stomach each others' company, much less collaborate on the psychopath’s defense, not only against my friend, but the immigration services, too. 

Though this Ya-rong Zhou may be a licensed translator—I could not verify his status on the Texas Association of Judiciary Interpreters & Translators website or any credible sites—like all “experts," pay them enough and they will testify to your version of the truth; this Chinese translator is no exception. I wonder how deep Ya-Chang Robert Lin had to dig into his pocketbook in order for this Chinese translator to “mistranslate” his birth data to suit his legal purpose. 

Out of curiosity, I am asking all my Chinese friends to give me their translation of this psychopath’s original Chinese birth certificate. Furthermore, I am having his original birth certificate translated by a company that the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services or USCIS uses for all of its translation needs. The result will be posted here for your comparison.

A quick post

I am reading through Phandeluys' stack of documents, which had been retrieved from the hard drives and laptop she had discarded and that include her legal pleadings—the length of which would make War and Peace short reading. Now, I truly understand why she insisted on annulling her marriage after 15+ years. 

I am experiencing what she must have felt, and I am terribly offended. 

More on this later. Heading out for some Starbucks and a glimpse at my friend.

The justice system

Below is an excerpt from a writing therapy assignment my friend’s son wrote about his experience with and understanding of the person whose DNA he shares. 

It had been posted to his online social channel. 

Thanks, C.S.P., for the access. 

One of the things my father “schooled” me in is the fact that most Chinese and Taiwanese are afraid of the justice system—about nine out of ten Chinese and Taiwanese will do just about anything to remain beyond the reach of the legal realm. This is because the majority of them make their living or accumulate their financial assets not through hard and honest work but through under-the-table bribery, corruptions, blackmails, manipulations, threats, and outright “accidental” killings, if necessary; and having the justice department even glancing their way make for a really inconvenient way to live “as usual.”

He himself boasted to me on a few occasions that his father—my yèhyé—trained him, at an early age, on how to pick up unmarked bags of bribery money before sending him out on those “money runs” back in Taiwan. He had seemed so proud recalling such memories until I asked him if my mother was aware of the things he was telling me. Then, he just clamped down and asked me why I had to go and “ruin everything” by bringing up my mother in our “talks.” But this subject and another conversation in which he told me if while traveling in Taiwan, you accidentally hit a pedestrian with your car, it would be best if you go ahead and kill the pedestrian and escape rather than try and help the latter because that pedestrian—like everyone in Taiwan—is looking to make easy money and will be forever badgering and suing you for all kinds of care for the remainder of his or her natural life, are writing topics for another day.

So, if one is keen on cheating a Chinese or Taiwanese out of resources or assets that are not yet firmly in his or her grasp, just mention the fact that you are considering taking them to court or suing them and the chance that they will give in to your “negotiation” is 99.99 percent.

Now, I do not know if what he said is truthful fact or fancy delusion, and this is something that I must always struggle with when it comes to evaluating the words that flow out of my father’s mouth.

But that is how he goes about getting “free” services from his own community. For example, he would contract an individual for her tax or accounting services, and after this person rendered her services, he would refuse to pay the full amount due by claiming that the work done is sub-par. To prevent the service provider from arguing otherwise, he would threaten to have her work “evaluated” by a third-party and have the evaluation fee charged to the service provider before taking her to court for trying to “cheat” him. In the end, he gets what he wanted: free service or a fifty or more percent discount off the original service fee.

I am not a judgmental kind of guy but swindling a service provider out of her or his living wage may be a street-smart tactic. It just did not sound very smart—or right—to me.

Stay tune, and until next post,
