One thing about my friend is that she keeps immaculate records of everything in her life, from conversations, schedules, meetings, projects, people and profiles to her private thoughts and feelings; she does not talk about them and will frequently refer to her journals when asked about an event, but she documents everything.
The purpose? As headlined on the top of every digital page of her journal: Feedback—either use it, think about it, or forget it.
A few things she wrote about Chinese/Taiwanese psychopath and fraudster Ya-Chang Robert Lin and the projects he got her involved in back before she discovered that her marriage was a sham for this peddler of fraud’s immigration and professional benefits:
He proudly told me that a person can easily launder money and not be afraid of getting caught by loading up on all these small denomination Visa gift cards; he learned this trick through reading about the financial frauds that scandalized the then-president of Taiwan and his family. In response to why he wastes hours reading such crap: it is useful to learn how other people—especially people with power and influence get out of trouble.
With inventory and purchasing data from AAFES through their Walker and WebEDI [Electronic Data Interchange], he can extract information allowing him to capitalize on systemic miscalculations and/or human manipulations and buy electronic and digital items in bulk for resell purposes before bringing the flaw/fraud to the company's internal auditors' attention for correction. Did he just plan to make the purchases from AAFES or Exchange stores while on our family vacations [which are his out-of-town work-related training/conferences on which D and I tagged along; be careful]? Where is he getting all the money to buy those items? He also talked about not pissing in his own backyard—is that an actual quote from The Score starring Robert De Niro and Edward Norton, another one of his favorite movies?
He asked that I help him set up a business that is modeled on his WebEDI project in AAFES. He had insisted that both my mother and I be co-owners of this other business even though I only understood the theory behind the business and not its technical implementation and execution. [I am working on my own to understand this latter part; no point asking repeatedly for his assistance when help is given only in part and never whole so that my knowledge is incomplete.] I was to sign a contract denying his affiliation with and relieving him of all liabilities with respect to this business. It seems fishy to me; hold off on the contract and if pushed, No.
Based on his credential in AAFES, he was able to gain access to the digital forensics division of CERT where he downloaded ISO image files of Aperio, CryptHunter, LiveView, among other software that he wanted me to play with before reporting to him as to their functionality and effectiveness in collecting e-evidences. I remember seeing a label on a software of some kind that mentioned "for law enforcement usage only" but when I mentioned it to him, he told me not to worry needlessly as AAFES is part of the DoD or Department of Defense and thus, higher in authority than law enforcement.
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 [AAFES or The Exchange, USCIS, ICE, and DHS], higher education [Fort Hays State University and Navarro College], and information technology auditing and security [ISACA and ACFE]. Among his legacy: A son who refused any connection with him and wished that he were dead.
