From an essay on Honorable and Honorability as written by Phandeluys’ son and published on his private social channel. As the essay is a part of his e-book series, only a portion is republished here :
I don’t trust him [Chinese/Taiwanese fraudster Ya-Chang Robert Lin]. Plain and simple. I don’t think he care either to connect with me or to rebuild the relationship. He has never once been humble and explain honestly and simply what happened. Nor has he ever apologized for the wrongs he has done me. My mother taught me well that when one is sincere about repairing any broken trust, that one makes an extra effort to put in extra work if one needs to, and keep one’s word. Transparency and showing a genuine concern for the other person’s needs will go a long way in rebuilding trust and reestablishing rapport. But The Jerk is anything but transparent and genuinely caring. …
One thing I envy about The Jerk: his ability to build rapport and use it cynically or manipulatively in order to sell someone something that they wouldn’t otherwise want, or that will do them harm. I see it so often in his interaction with people that his insincerity no longer bothers me or seems like a desperate act to connect through a fake interest. However, it does make me question why people are so gullible. …
What is the point of speaking clearly and confidently when everything that comes out of your mouth is either exaggerated facts or stories or plain falsehoods? Someone really ought to teach him to simply stick to the truth. …
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 [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.
