Title: Lady Nai Nai, Infamous Taiwanese Blogger, Returns Home After Six-Year Run from Fraud Charges
Blogger Lady Nai Nai resurfaces in Canada, returns home
Hey there! Let's talk about Lady Nai Nai, a renowned Taiwanese blogger who went on the lam for more than six years in Canada, all to evade charges of fraud. Here's the lowdown on her dramatic return and the juicy details surrounding her shenanigans.
The Homecoming
Lady Nai Nai, whose real name is Su Chen-tuan, made her grand re-entry to Taiwan on May 1, 2025, escorted on a flight from Canada by a legal secretary from the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Canada – Taiwan's representative office there. Once she hit Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport at 5 a.m., she was swarmed by reporters eager for a statement, but she kept her lips sealed and remained tight-lipped.
The Interrogation
After being transfered to the Taipei District Prosecutors' Office at 1:18 p.m., Su was eventually released on NT$2 million (US$62,467) bail later that day.
The Allegations
The fraud charges against Su originated in 2019 when she skipped town after being accused of defrauding clients and investors of a whopping NT$1 billion (US$30.66 million), accumulated through her late cosmetic clinic, Ab Initio Medicina, which she operated with her ex-boyfriend, plastic surgeon Paul Huang. The clinic abruptly closed in 2018, leaving financial solvency issues such as debts unresolved.
The Culprits in Exile
While the MJIB legal secretaries stationed in the U.S. and Canada had been hot on the trail of the fugitives in collaboration with Taiwan's representative offices in Ottawa and Toronto, Paul and his parents, Huang Li-hsiung and Huang Lin Li-chen, had been seeking political asylum in Canada. Huang Li-hsiung and Huang Lin were eventually apprehended in May 2024, thanks to their contact with Taiwan's representative offices in Canada. Huang Lin, however, was not indicted and was released without bail, while Huang Li-hsiung was released on a NT$500,000 bond and remains under investigation. Paul Huang's whereabouts remain a mystery, with Su not disclosing any info during her repatriation.
The Cross-Border Legal Tussles
Su's case emphasizes the challenges involved in cross-border legal matters, as Taiwan’s jurisdiction in Canada is limited. Her voluntary return follows failed refugee claims and cooperation with Taiwanese officials in Toronto.
