The morale of the police is really dropping here! From the Front Page Sections, translated…
The officer from Sanchong Substation of the Hsinbei City Police, Lee, was addicted to gambling sport, and he’d pulled his classmate from the academy, Huang into the gambling ring with him, and because of this, Huang accumulated over three million dollars N.T.’s worth of debts, Lee was suspected of hounding Huang down for the bookie, warned Huang on LINE, “They will NEVER let you go”, as Huang asked for the loans from the man in charge of a borough he patrolled, and was denied, that, was how this came to the open; after the preliminary investigations, the Sanchong Police Substation gave Lee and Huang both one major reprimand each, transferred them to alternative posts, and, had the D.A. indict them on gambling.
The deputy manager of the Sanchong Substation, Liu said, that Lee worked in the subprecinct in Zhongxing Bridge, and Huang worked in the Tsi-Fu Subprecinct, the two of them were best friends from the academy. Two months ago, Lee was addicted to sports gambling, and had Huang gotten involved in the gambling, and Lee had accumulated gambling debts to $760,000N.T.’s, while Huang had accumulated up the debts to over three million N.T.’s.
Liu said, because Lee knew the bookie, plus the bookie pressed Lee to pay up the debts, Lee had pressed Huang to pay many times on LINE, and warned him, “Someone will be waiting for you outside of the substation”, “So long we still have our limbs attached, they won’t let us go”, “pay $1.5 million N.T.s first, then we will have it settled”. Huang was at wits end, and tried to get a loan from a man in charge of a local borough, but the man denied it to him, he’d told an officer he knew, that, was how the case got busted wide open.
the end results…not my photo still…
As Huang was being investigated, he’d admitted to gambling and told that it was Lee who’d introduced him to it, that the amount owed, was whatever Lee told him, and forwarded the conversations the two of them had on LINE to his superior.
But, Lee denied all allegations of the accusations for gambling, and owing the debts, along with pressing Huang for payments, claimed that he was only playing the online games, that he wasn’t clear why Huang got involved in gambling; as the Sanchong Substation conducted its investigations, both men were given major reprimands, and transferred, and the case is being considered as illegal gambling, and the police is looking to bringing in the leader of the gambling ring.
So, this, is how easily people CAN get addicted, and, once you are addicted, there’s, NO way out for you, and these two men, they were POLICE officers, and yet, they still couldn’t, say NO to the temptations that the short-term rewards of gambling has to offer, they’d gotten, in too deep.
