Tainan's 'Money Shower Brother' Sentenced for Damaging Police Documents, Assaulting Officer

Tainan's notorious "Money Shower Brother," identified by his surname Li, is back in the headlines, this time facing legal consequences for his disruptive behavior at the Yanhang Police Station. The Tainan District Court has handed down a three-month prison sentence, which can be commuted to a fine, for his recent offenses.

The court found Li guilty of damaging official police documents and assaulting a police officer. The incidents reportedly occurred on separate occasions. In December 2024, Li allegedly became incensed by the way officers were handling a case, leading him to tear up official documents, including investigation orders and lost property receipts, and then absconding with them. This act constitutes the destruction and concealment of items under the custody of a public official.

In a separate incident earlier in June 2025, Li was found collapsed in front of the station's duty desk. When an officer approached to check on his well-being, as per instructions from the fire department, Li allegedly assaulted the officer. The officer sustained injuries including bruising to the right shoulder, right wrist, and left hand. Li was aware the officer was on duty but proceeded to physically assault him.

This latest conviction adds to Li's notoriety in Tainan, where he previously gained attention for showering money in public. While the court has imposed a sentence, the case is still subject to appeal. The incidents highlight a pattern of behavior that has led to repeated run-ins with law enforcement, culminating in this prison sentence.
