TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Su Chen-tuan (蘇陳端), a blogger known as “Lady Nai Nai” (貴婦奈奈), will arrive in Taiwan from Canada on Thursday to face fraud charges.
Su, who fled Taiwan seven years ago after allegedly defrauding victims of well over NT$180 million (US$5.6 million), is scheduled to return to Taiwan under escort by an official from the Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau stationed in Canada, per CNA. She is expected to land at around 5 a.m. and will be taken to the Taipei District Prosecutors Office after questioning.
According to officials, Su had voluntarily contacted the MJIB to return home and face justice. The bureau's legal attache in Canada confirmed with the authorities that she had previously filed for refugee status.
With assistance from the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Toronto, she was issued a re-entry permit for Taiwan. Officials said that Su was returning with only light luggage.
The whereabouts of ex-boyfriend and co-defendant Paul Huang (黃博健) remain unknown. Since Taiwan’s law enforcement has no jurisdiction in Canada, and Su did not provide information about him, the matter will be investigated after her return.
The MJIB said Su exploited her public profile to collaborate with Paul Huang and his father, Huang Li-hsiung, to solicit over NT$180 million from the public for their cosmetic surgery clinic, Ab Initio Medicina (杏立博全), which they suddenly closed in 2018. The bureau said they face charges of fraud and other offenses under the Criminal Code.
The case, directed by the Taipei District Prosecutors Office and investigated by the MJIB's Taipei City Field Division, dates back to November 2018, when Su and two associates fled to the US before moving on to Canada. On Jan. 8, 2019, prosecutors issued a wanted notice for all three, and on Jan. 11, the MJIB listed them as fugitives and has since continued to track their whereabouts.
Meanwhile, Paul Huang's parents, Huang Li-hsiung (黃立雄) and Huang Lin Li-chen (黃林麗貞), who also fled overseas after the scandal broke, contacted the bureau last year after failing to obtain residency in Canada. They claimed to have been threatened by gang members over debts while in Canada.
Huang's parents were repatriated in May 2024 and handed over separately to the Taipei and Shilin district prosecutors' offices. After questioning, prosecutors released Huang Lin Li-chen without bail, while Huang Li-hsiung was released on NT$500,000 bail and placed under electronic monitoring.
Prosecutors later dropped fraud charges against Huang Lin Li-chen due to insufficient evidence. However, the illegal funding-raising case against Huang Li-hsiung remains under investigation by Taipei prosecutors.
