As promised, below is a portion of Phandeluys’ digital journal about the various forms of misrepresentation psychopath Ya-Chang Robert Lin used to deceive my friend into a fraudulent marriage and in creating illusions to sustain it.
It begins on a day after she began cleaning up the garage and accidentally uncovered paper trails centering on the international students recruiting business, leading to correspondence between psychopath Ya-Chang Robert Lin and his then attorney about his residency application, along with the facts and documents needed to prove his marriage was bona fide.
He is not in a courtroom, he is not on trial, and he is not presumed innocent. Neither am I a judge nor a debating partner, and the worst thing he can do to make the situation worse is by continuing to deny and lie and divert from the subject. I was not plagued by self-doubt, agonizing over whether he really harbored those thoughts, nurtured those plans, and committed those acts or not. Right or wrong, I had already made up my mind. If it weren’t the case, I would not have broached him on the subject in the first place. So him pulling an attitude and accusing me of magnifying my suspicion in my mission to right a perceived wrong made me dig in even more and not back down. Thus, began my tentative steps into the world of private investigation and public records research.
What I slowly learned is that Ya-Chang Robert Lin didn’t just openly lie or speak falsehoods; he used all sorts of techniques to paint a false picture about his status, family, personal history, and circumstances and lifestyle.
At the heart of his deception is misrepresentation. To be sure, he told straight-out lies, but he also engaged in overstatement and understatement. And sometimes, he lied through his silence, and oftentimes, with the help—intentional or inadvertent—of his acquaintances, colleagues, and friends.
Among the various forms of misrepresentation available to this psychopath are the following:
Falsification: deliberate statements of false information. For example, telling me that both his parents were born in Taiwan when they were actually born in Szechuan Province of China. From the first moment we met, I had been explicit—to the point of being redundant and blunt—about not wanting to enter into a long-term and serious relationship with any person who was or whose parents were born in mainland China.
Concealment: withholding important information in an effort to promote or sustain a false impression. For example, having me quit my job as a researcher/writer to work full-time in his international students recruiting business without letting me know that he did not have a work permit and was not authorized by the United States immigration services to set up, own, and run a business while under the F1 academic student status.
Diversion: redirection of a conversation, particularly when it involves direct questions. For example, I ask straightforward questions about his international students recruiting business, and he changes the subject. Or I ask to see the original paperwork and certified translations on the loan he said he had borrowed from his parents for the down payment on the house in Flower Mound, and he says he wants to talk about how much he misses me.
Exaggeration: embellishment and inflation of story elements to enhance a personal position or create a false impression. For example, telling me his mother’s side of the family owns a bank in Taiwan, when it’s actually one of his aunts who works as a branch manager at one bank. Or that his mother has a Master’s degree in English when she can barely greeted me in English. Ms. Chang’s Master’s degree turns out to be a Certificate of Mastery in English for the six weeks she spent at the Language Institute.
Understatement: minimizing or downplaying significant events in his personal history. For example, telling me and my mother he shares rooms and boards with three other international male roommates while actually cohabiting with his girlfriend of four years in a university apartment they leased together.
...
One of the lessons I learned is that suspicion is a psychological mechanism that protects us from real or imagined threats. When properly channeled it can save us embarrassment, heartache, or pain. What I had failed to do was to take suspicion to a healthy level.
Stay tune, and until next post,
We dream | We believe | And we will succeed
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.
