The named 36-year-old Liao, Taiwan/US investigation, NTD170million-scale alleged transfers and return-to-Taiwan custody context support a qualified bridge to preserved Taichung first-instance 12-year-six-month sentencing reports. The distinctive 50million watch and later extension are source-specific. Liao surname alone is insufficient: the Taipei25w prevented withdrawal concerns a different victim. Stolen passports, the deceased passport owner, cash couriers and roles are not one romantic target or an inferred causal homicide.
