death

The Hsinchu Prosecutors Office has formed a task force to look into a
cryptocurrency analyst Chen Mei-hui's (陳梅慧) death in a car accident.

The move was ordered by the Supreme Prosecutors Office due to a lot of
speculations and rumors about the accident.

Chen had been helping authorities investigating the financial flow of child
pornography website Chuang-Yi Si-fang (創意私房) and the money laundering
organization 88 Club.

It's part of Taichung prosecutors' investigations of organized crimes
involving violations of the Money Laundering Control Act.

Chen and her boy friend, a Criminal Investigation Bureau officer who was
involved in another case, answered Taichung police's questions Monday night.

Then on their way back home on number 1 freeway, their car was in involved a
rear-end collision at 3 a.m. on December 4th, killing Chen on the spot.

Her sudden death has raised suspicions, with some speculating about possible
connections to police infighting or conflicts of interest among financial
groups.
