Former chairman of the Straits Exchange Foundation, Cheng Wen-tsan, was involved in a bribery case related to land change and was found receiving an amount as high as 5 million yuan. However, a weekly publication pointed out that the amount was claimed to be a loan from a friend. Taoyuan City councilor from the Kuomintang, Ling Tao, raised three doubts, questioning why 'Big Brother' Cheng Wen-tsan would need to borrow 5 million. Ling Tao also questioned if the promissory note for the 5 million could have been used as a safety valve, ready to be used at any time, and whether Cheng Wen-tsan's claim of not knowing the contents of a bag containing money was reasonable. Ling Tao further criticized Cheng Wen-tsan's decision to borrow money, mentioning that as a prominent figure, he should not have financial needs that require borrowing.
