The police are cracking down on the "white-collar accomplices" of fraud rings. The Criminal Investigation Bureau has discovered that at least 20 types of white-collar professions have colluded with fraud gangs, forming a fraud industry chain, raising concerns that Taiwan may become a fraud kingdom. Traditionally, members of fraud gangs have been mainly blue-collar workers, but with astonishing profits, multiple industries have also gotten involved. The Criminal Investigation Bureau is targeting these white-collar accomplices through financial and telecommunications channels and is urging them to surrender and provide intelligence on the fraud ring. Recently, cases involving multiple lawyers and judges have been uncovered, highlighting the rampant nature of fraud activities and their degree of infiltration.

The police have pinpointed the "white-collar collaborators" of the fraud syndicate for investigation. Recently, the Criminal Investigation Bureau held a press conference to showcase evidence related to fraud rings, including lending agency documents. Fraud crimes are rampant, with more and more people participating in fraud syndicates due to the allure of enormous profits, including professionals like prosecutors, judges, and lawyers. A fraud officer from the Criminal Investigation Bureau pointed out that currently, at least 20 different white-collar professions are colluding with fraud groups, forming a fraud industrial chain. If all industries fall into this trap, Taiwan could potentially become a real fraud kingdom.

• Members of traditional telecom fraud groups are mostly from the blue-collar class. Aside from financial backers, most individuals involved, such as telemarketers, dummy account holders, and handover brokers, have found that the fraud profits are astonishing, leading to financial losses of 200 to 300 million NTD daily across Taiwan, with many industries colluding with fraud groups.
• Based on recent investigation experiences, the industries involved include law enforcement, judicial system, banking, land administration, cryptocurrency businesses, pawnshops, jewelry stores, financing companies, car dealerships, advertising agencies, SMS providers, media, website engineers, server providers, telecommunications companies, communication firms, shell companies, hackers, public representatives, and influencers, with at least 20 different white-collar professions infiltrated by fraud groups.
• The Criminal Investigation Bureau has targeted white-collar collaborators through financial flows and telecommunications flows, categorizing them as "high-level" members of the fraud structure for intensified crackdowns. They also urge relevant individuals to surrender and provide police with intelligence on fraud groups.
• For example, the Taipei District Prosecutors Office discovered that lawyer Zheng Hongwei, who was seized last year, was involved in a fraud group case where 16 lawyers colluded. It was also confirmed that a judge was suspected of concealing the proceeds of fraud; additionally, in a case from the Taoyuan District Prosecutors Office, a prosecutor's lawyer boyfriend attempted to join the fraud network but was rejected.
• The Criminal Investigation Bureau previously cracked the first "ground master" fraud case, where a district chief in New Taipei City colluded with the main suspect to forge a will, profiting approximately 150 million NTD. Furthermore, the fraud group arranged for lawyers to soothe the victims, who were then introduced to legitimate asset companies for real estate mortgages after their savings were drained.
