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,

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 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.
