TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – The 16-year-old teenager surnamed Huang, who claimed telling fortune with tarot cards for Taiwan former president Chen Shui-bian, got arrested for forgery of documents last night in a motel in Taipei County. When taken to the police station, Huang was uncooperative during the interrogation, denying his identity in the beginning.Huang had been arrested in April 2007 for sending messages implying prostitution on a website. He falsely claimed to be 20-year-old Wu Jia-wen, fooling the police and prosecutors. Prosecutors gave him a deferred indictment for this case.
The police also found out that Huang had counterfeited diagnosis statements for taking leaves from Chi Shan Junior High School where he attended. The Criminal Investigation Bureau applied for an arrest warrant to trace Huang.
Huang told the police he would say nothing before his lawyers or relatives came. The interrogation started when his uncle came to the station past midnight. Later, the police took Huang and his uncle to Huang’s office for search action and would summon Huang’s friends to clear the suspicious points.
Huang caught media’s attention when he said he was the tarot master who had told fortune and pray for blessings for Chen Shui-bian in Huang’s office. However, his identity and multiple titles were questioned by the media that gradually dug out his real identity.
Chen’s office issued a statement on Oct. 22, admitting that Chen had gone to Huang’s office for blessing and advice.
In the past few days, under pressure from the media and the public, Huang hid himself, solely using his blog as the channel to express himself. Huang confessed that he tricked Chen in his blog article on the 23rd. He said he only learned tarot from reading books and that the three lamas in the blessing ritual were also fake. Nor did he have two master’s degrees or had been abroad. He revealed that he would leave Taiwan at 11 am on the 25th and explain everything at the airport. However, he was arrested before he could ever take flight.
