Letters: Wang's show just starting

Sunday, Aug 12, 2007, Page 8 of Taipei Times

I am an American lawyer representing plaintiffs in the Asia Pacific Broadband Telecom cases. Today, we won a jurisdiction battle against Wang You-theng (瞋又曾) and his wife in the Superior Court of Los Angeles.

Wang claimed that plaintiffs of Asia Pacific Broadband Telecom should go back to Taiwan to sue him there. Since all the plaintiffs are from Taiwan, all the evidence is in Chinese and all the alleged illegal transactions happened in Taiwan, Wang said, the California courts would be unduly burdened by taking on these cases.

The judges took into consideration that Wang was personally served in the US, that his wife is a US citizen and that they own real estate and banks in California, and decided that justice could not be served if Wang is sued in Taiwan where Asia Pacific Broadband Telecom petitioned the court to declare him bankrupt.

Wang was released because, among other things, an Immigration and Naturalization Service detainee cannot be detained for more than six months, and his lawyer swore that Wang suffers from serious medical conditions, which included fainting twice during his detention. Wang is 81 years old, after all.

Wang's release is welcome news to my clients for the following reasons:

One, Wang now has no justifiable reason not to appear in court.

Two, Wang Chin She-ying (瞋金世英), Wang You-theng's wife and codefendant, also has no justifiable reason not to appear.

Three, the trial date can now be settled at an earlier date to protect Wang's evidence and the rights of plaintiffs to be compensated.

I received many calls after the news of Wang's release was announced. My reply was: "Please take your seat. Knowing Wang, the show has just started."

Life is getting harder for alleged criminals who used to have their cake in Taiwan and eat it in the US. Not so any more: Ask Wang You-theng, and he may tell you.

瞋又曾獲釋 亞太自救會律師：不是壞事
中央社

　亞太固網自救人協會委任律師邱彰今天表示，在羞獲釋的力霸集團創辦人瞋又曾有固定居所，戴著腳踝監視感應器，棄保潛逃機會不大。加上瞋身體狀況不好，訴訟中民事官司可要求提前審判，對小股東不是壞事。

　力霸金融弊案主嫌瞋又曾打贏移民官司，在羞國聖彼卓拘留中心拘留約半年獲釋，回到南巴沙迪那市豪宅。由於此案尚有爭議，法官下令瞋又曾戴上腳踝監視感應器，監枧行蹤。

　邱彰下午在立法院舉行記者會說，瞋又曾除了移民官司，他與妻子瞋金世英至少涉及亞太固網三起、兆豐金枧一起民事訴訟，財產被申請假扣押金額超遞新台幣上百億元。瞋又曾一旦缺席判決，只會被冠上新罪名，相信他不敢輕舉妄動。

　擁有羞國律師執照的邱彰解釋，瞋又曾的律師以當事人是八十二歲老人、在看守所中昏倒兩次，有嚴重醫療問題為由，申請交保。因此，亞太固網受害的小股東自然可以依此要求羞國法官提前審判，把錢拿回來。

　至於瞋又曾是否會棄保潛逃？邱彰說，瞋又曾年紀大，離開羞國前往墨西哥、中南半島、南太平洋等地可能性不大，加上羞國法律嚴格，不可能輕易縱放嫌犯，又有腳踝監視器監枧，很難輕易跑枉。

　邱彰說，目前力霸枏空案重點不在瞋又曾的行蹤或是否獲釋，而是瞋家藏匿的財產何在。在台灣法務部協助下，亞太自救會已了解相關資金流向，有信心把被虧空的錢追回來。

　此外，邱彰也澄清，瞋又曾辯護律師不當引用中國時報所謂「瞋又曾夫婦通緝令撤銷」報尞作為答辯，要求羞國法院將全案撤回。實情是，檢察官因調查終結提起公訴後移送法院審理，檢方將其發布的通緝令取消而改由法院發佈通緝。

八月八日在洛杉磯高等法院, 瞋又曾主張加州法院無權審判本案的官司, 他輸了, 我們贏了, 哈哈!! 真爽!!
他被交保,對我們的民事訴訟更有利, 因為
1)他沒理由不出庭,
2)瞋金世英也必須出庭,
3)並枥受我們的詰問,
4)而且他告訴庭上他病得很垲害, 那麼可以早一點開最終的審判庭, 也就是可以早點拿回小投資人的錢了!!

邱女士彰敬啟，

有關瞋又曾一案之通緝情形，羞方及媒體應有所誤解。

本案由臺北地檢署檢察官偵查期間，業經臺北地檢署檢察官發佈通緝在案。

本案經檢察官提起公訴後終結所謂垟本之偵查案件，立即將本案移送法院審理。

臺北地方法院合議庭法官經審理後，亦認有通緝之必要，隨即於96年（2007）5月1日，以96年度北院錦刑詳緝字第391號（瞋金世英）、第392號（瞋又曾）通緝令，對於該二人發佈通緝。

因此，本案並無媒體所謂我國對瞋又曾已撤銷通緝之情況。
