Taiwanese doctor Hao Zhihua, husband of former Austrian representative and ex-Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Shi Yaping, was sentenced to 2 years in prison for deceiving a terminally ill female surnamed Li with claims of a 'self-fat stem cell therapy' that could control her condition. Li, who had colon cancer, paid 2.4 million Taiwanese dollars for the treatment at the You Jian Meng Wei Clinic but tragically passed away despite the false promises. Despite denying fraud, the courts found Hao guilty of exploiting the vulnerable patient and sentenced him accordingly, with the case finalizing in Tai Chung. The clinic was also found unauthorized to conduct such treatments for cancer.
