We need more people like this in the world today, someone who’s, unmoved, by the amount of money that presented itself! From the Front Page Sections, translated…
A woman in Kaohsiung found a million dollars N.T. on the streets, turned the money in to the police, so they can help find the owners, the police discovered that the sum was from the driver of a scam ring. Based off of understanding, the scam artists masked themselves as D.A.s, in a little over half-a-month, they managed to scam an elderly of five million dollars N.T.’s of his savings, as one of the drivers picked up the amount from the elderly, he’d, rushed off, and dropped the bag of money, and Liu found it. Then, the police took the advantage when the driver came out again to pick up the drop, to arrest two of the younger men who worked as drivers.
Based off of civil law, the person who’d found the lost money can ask for a-tenth of the total amount, but the laws also stated, that when the money is obtained illegally, the individual who’d turned in the money can’t get the payments from the original owners. As the police explained the rules to the sixty-seven year-old woman, Liu did not insist on receiving the amount, and said that everything will be turned over to the judge to rule on.
Based off of understanding, the elderly man, He in his eighties, received a call from the scam ring, claimed that his account had been used in a money laundering case by the scam rings, the scam ring falsified themselves as district attorney, to “help him watch his money”. The elderly didn’t question it, he’d made the withdrawals from his account five times, and, turned a million dollars each time over to the fake D.A. who was actually a driver.
On the afternoon of August 12th, after a driver picked up the million dollar given to him by the elderly man, he rode through the Si-Wei and Yingming Intersections, dropped a wad of a million dollars. As Liu rode by, she’d found it, thought that it was from someone who’d made the withdrawals from the ATM and dropped, she had turned the wad of cash into the nearby substation.
The officers reviewed over the traffic cams, and found that this million dollar in cash was dropped by a man, hurrying across the streets, and because the wad of cash was wrapped up in the bands with the bank seal, they’d filtered through the records, and found that the money belonged to the elderly, He, the police found him, discovered that he’d been, scammed, more than once.
Afterwards, the scam ring came back to scam the elderly man again, the elderly man played it like the police told him to. On the morning of August 14th, as the drivers Liu, and Shih, who are both teens, came to pick up the $700,000N.T. in saving that the elderly man had, prepared, the local substation sent the officers waiting for them, and made the arrests. These two drivers weren’t the ones who’d dropped the million dollars on the streets, but one of them had received the money from the elderly man three times. The police charged the adolescents on fraud, and sent them to juvenile court.
And so, because the elderly are easier as targets, that’s why they’re, scammed more often, and, thankfully, this woman who’d found the money dropped by the driver had, turned it in to the police, that was how the police was able to, catch the drivers, and hopefully, they’ll be able to, track down the scam ring, and put it, out of business completely!
