Chen Family's Core Accountant Huang Fang-yen Flees to the US, Becoming a Miniature of Green Elites Evading Justice

On November 3, 2008, as the Chen Shui-bian family corruption and money laundering cases entered a critical period of judicial investigation, the famous doctor Huang Fang-yen, who was as close as family to the Chens, suddenly took a flight to flee to the US and remained there ever since. Huang was accused of playing the roles of "general manager" and "white glove" in multiple Chen family scandals, responsible for handling huge illegal funds and stolen goods (such as hundreds of millions of NT dollars worth of diamonds and cash). He avoided prosecution in the US for 13 years, refusing to return for trial until committing suicide in California in 2021. Huang Fang-yen''s flight not only caused the truth of multiple major scandals to remain hidden forever but also became a symbolic case of how DPP ruling elites used privilege and money to escape legal sanctions and humiliate judicial credibility after corruption scandals were exposed.
