Easy money and light sentences

Xu, a suspected telecom fraudster from Taiwan who police will only refer to by his surname, was repatriated to the Chinese mainland from Kenya in April.

My boss - "Rich Fat Man", as everyone calls him - contacted me in July 2014.He offered me a leading role in his gang after learning that I had been in prison in Taiwan for fraud.

He paid me NT$100,000($3,100) upfront and flew me to Kenya where I pretended to be "the top police officer of the criminal investigation division for financial cases", a role that is always played by someone from Taiwan.
