How to read this record
Taiwan prosecutors describe Liao36, Taiwan/US romantic fraud, stolen passports/bank accounts, small-profit bait, large repeated demands and US-national targets, yielding USD5,328,855/NTD170.52million attributed aggregate proceeds. Reported airport arrest,50million watch seizure and pending criminal charges remain allegations; bail denied and two-month custody extension fromOctober21 are not conviction or sentence. Passport-owner death by unrelated sedation is not romance-caused homicide. Nationality does not prove victim residence. Stolen passports for bank accounts are document fraud/account facilitation, not evidence of a romantic profile identity or online communication medium. Small initial investment profits are not an explicit future-return promise. False-friendship/sweet-word relationship interpretation remains qualified; custody extension is not a sentence and the passport owner’s unrelated death is not romance homicide. Translate the provisional document-fraud shorthand Oo to the existing codebook builder alias Doc with the same document_identity_fraud subtype. The strict alias preflight caught the shorthand before saving/building; original draft and failed helper are preserved, with no codebook change.

Connected reporting
Only direct reviewed connections are shown. Shared wording is weaker evidence than a supported case connection. A connection through a third article does not establish that two reports concern the same case.
騙美籍3人吸金1.7億 詐團女幹部一審判12年半 | 社會 | 中央社 CNA
The same qualified Liao/Taichung/US170million case is reported in custody-extension coverage and later first-instance sentencing coverage. This is an attributed legal-stage connection, not a court act-date inferred from observations or proof every allegation in custody reporting was sustained. Original first-instance appeal qualification and source fingerprints are preserved.
This record is linked to a later reported development.

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.
