A criminal group led by Liu, a member of the Bamboo Union Gang's Lan Hall, has been accused of creating fake companies to defraud the public. They also issued fake invoices to help others evade taxes and launder money, illegally profiting up to 30 million New Taiwan Dollars. In August this year, the Taoyuan District Prosecutors Office charged Liu and others for suspected violations of fraud, business accounting laws, and other crimes.
The police stated that the crime group led by Liu engaged in diversified fraud activities, including purchasing identities to serve as heads of shell companies, and using these companies to issue large amounts of fake invoices to assist illegal businesses and gangs in tax evasion and money laundering, thereby making huge illegal profits estimated at 30 million New Taiwan Dollars.
The police further stated that in 2016, under the guise of "Xin Miao Technology Co., Ltd.," they issued "unlisted stocks" and claimed that "the company is engaged in future technologies with promising prospects, guaranteeing a surge in stock prices after listing, which would lead to huge profits," deceiving the public to invest in shell companies, resulting in a loss of 30 million New Taiwan Dollars for two victims.
The Criminal Investigation Bureau pointed out that in 2017, under the name of "Jin Mei Jia Co., Ltd.," they operated a "credit card for cash" scheme in the Greater Taipei area without actual transactions, charging fees, and using the shell company to issue fake invoices to offset related taxes. These fake invoices amounted to about 100 million New Taiwan Dollars, deceiving tax authorities to launder about 10 million New Taiwan Dollars of fraudulently obtained money, also implicating the card-using public in Liu's fraud and money laundering crime group.
The special task force detained and summoned Liu and 22 other suspects in Taoyuan City, New Taipei City, and Tainan City last year and this year, seizing 4.96 million New Taiwan Dollars in cash and a batch of evidence. In August this year, the Taoyuan District Prosecutors Office charged Liu and others for suspected violations of fraud, causing public officials to record falsehoods, business accounting laws, tax collection laws, securities trading laws, and company laws.
