A lawyer in Taipei, surnamed Yao, pretended to have insider connections and scammed 300,000 NT dollars from a defendant named Wen by claiming he could bribe judges for leniency. Yao was initially sentenced to 1 year in prison, but upon appeal, his sentence was increased to 3 years, and he was subsequently disbarred for life by the Lawyer Disciplinary Committee for misconduct and damaging the image of justice. The committee stressed the importance of upholding legal and ethical standards to maintain trust in the legal profession and the justice system.
