It’s been said before but that’s not going to stop me repeating it: There’s one rule for the rich and another for the poor.

While the two men suspected in the Group 4 Securicor-Taiwan heist of NT$56 million were swiftly apprehended in China and repatriated to face justice, along with their accomplices in Taiwan; former Rebar Asia Pacific Group (力霸亞太企業集團) Chairman Wang You-theng (王又曾) and fourth wife (四房) Wang Chin She-ying (王金世英) got away with an estimated NT$10 billion and are currently enjoying the American Dream.

Wang also managed to get away with having four wives and numerous affairs, according to the Apple Daily, which added the 79-year-old’s vigor was due to a breakfast regimen of swallow’s nest soup. This is basically bird spit from an endangered species and one of the most expensive foods on the planet.

Among Wang’s playmates was the 36-year-old “entertainer” Tsai Chia-hung (蔡佳宏), who last week called her former lover a “vicious demon,” presumably because he didn’t make her wife number five.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, but the vamp relented slightly on the weekend when she called a press conference to inform the world she “bore no hatred” toward Wang.

No doubt she was reminded that Wang had arranged NT$10 million in loans for her to buy a luxury apartment and showered her with NT$8 million in gifts, including a Mercedes Benz and at least 30 Chanel purses and 20 pairs of Chanel shoes.

Tsai admitted to being depressed after the affair ended, not because she missed the man, but because she had to sell so many of her Chanel goodies. She is currently earning a crust singing at weddings.
