A suspected social media account believed to belong to Chao Chien-ming, former President Chen Shui-bian's ex-son-in-law, has surfaced online, sparking widespread discussion and mockery. The account, identified as "JimmyChauo" on Threads, has reportedly been active in leaving comments on various posts, often inviting women for private chats via LINE and claiming to be in Tainan's Anping district.
Add me on LINE
Netizens have noted that the account frequently commented on posts featuring attractive women, leaving messages like "Add me on LINE," "I'm in Tainan," and "When can we meet?" Some comments even offered job opportunities to women. However, many of the posts the account commented on are now inaccessible, leading to speculation that the account was interacting with bot accounts using stolen photos.
Further scrutiny by netizens revealed that the LINE ID associated with the account ended in "2906," which matches Chao Chien-ming's birthday, June 29. Additionally, linked Instagram posts allegedly showed selfies taken at Chao's clinic. The account also repeatedly defended Chao amidst his divorce controversy, posting messages like "It was all earned by Chao Chien-ming, who silently contributed but is misunderstood" and "The loan money was paid by Dr. Chao himself, and he was forced to divorce in the end."

The account and its linked LINE account have since been deleted or closed. However, screenshots of the controversial posts have gone viral on social media, drawing sarcastic comments such as "The doctor is not always elegant" and "Facts prove that doctors and class are not always proportional."
You have all been deceived by Chen Hsing-ju, their whole family makes you all act like you've taken speed, it's hilarious.
