Fraud and related offenses — appellate judgment (尻水, suspended sentence (緩刑))

The first page lists appointed counsel Attorneys 謝政翰 and 林宗諺. Defendants provided nominee accounts to a fraud ring; after victims wired funds, they used lost-card replacement to intercept proceeds (尻水). After trial, appeal proceeded in the High Court (Year 112); page 2 announced sentence and suspended sentence (緩刑) conditions.

Our attorneys addressed appellate scope, characterization of 尻水 conduct, concurrence of aiding money laundering and fraud, and sentencing; assisted compliance with treasury payment, legal education, and community service attached to suspended sentence (緩刑).

• May appeal challenge sentencing only?
• How is 尻水 conduct classified?
• Are suspended sentence (緩刑) conditions appropriate?
• Do remaining charged counts constitute crimes?
