Unfortunately, we can't work like the Japanese, with a MORE severe punishment for this charge, instead of a tiny slap on the wrist for these, scammers, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
It's no wonder Taiwan is dubbed as "safe haven for scam artists", there were the five drivers who were arrested in Japan, one was sentenced by a local court to three years eight months, currently serving his time, the other four, in jail in Japan, awaiting the trial results; the Japanese court system had the speedy trials and severe sentences for these scam artists, causing the heated debates in the legal realm, and there were the law enforcement officials who'd stated, that the Taiwanese laws for scammers either sentenced too lightly, or, released the felons, it's no wonder, that Taiwan had been dubbed, "a safe haven for scam artists".
justice is, BLIND, as, always, and had, left the, "building"...comic from online
This particular scam ring targeted the retired elderly persons in Japan, Chen recruited the delivery persons to go to Japan to collect the cash, from last July to this January, there'd been a total of five pickup delivery persons getting caught; of them, the man, Huang, shortly after his arrested in July of last year, was speedily tried and sentenced by the courts in Japan, the rest of the suspects are all now, awaiting trial, and there should be the conclusions of their cases soon.
Practically, the fraud involving three or more, can get the suspects anywhere from one to seven years; but based off of the trends of the suggestions of sentencing, if the suspects admitted to what they did, and the total amount of fraudulent gains is under five million dollars N.T., considering that it's a first offense, there would be the recommendations of a year eight months to two years six months sentences, with the suggested time served being two years, and in the reduction of sentence requirements were met, the years served will get reduced even more.
Comparing, the Japanese courts' trials for the scams are speedy, and the sentences, very heavy, a district attorney specializing in fraud said, compared to the speedy trial and the severity of sentencing, it's a wonder, Taiwan gets dubbed as, "scam haven".
So, due to a not harsh enough punishment, and it's all nothing more than, slaps on the wrists, soon as these convicted scammers get returned "back to the wild" again, chances are, they'll, return to their original business, and get caught, get slaps on the wrist, sentenced, released back to the, "wild" and this FUCKING cycle still, REPEATS, ETERNALLY. If we can apply a very HEAVY sentence for these fraud cases, then, I'm sure, that no one would, DARE go down that road, again, again, and again. But unfortunately, the DDP is using the "leniency", like how it's, getting RID of the DEATH penalty, altogether, or at least, it's trying to right now. No WONDER, there are, so many, crimes currently happening on, this, ISLAND of scammers, murderers, etc., etc., etc., etc. right now.
