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 smartor right—to me.
Stay tune, and until next post,

About this blog 

Excepting this introduction and the posts that are published 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 application 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 stealby downloading to CDs that he kept in his personal possession while abiding for time and opportunities to "do business" in Taiwan and/or Chinathousands 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 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.

  1. Street-smart tactics from a psychopathic lowlife on his own people, all right.
