The Liberty Times reports on a bizarre turn of events involving popular YouTuber Dinter and a disgruntled fan. Dinter, known for his online presence and a side business selling milk tea, found himself in court after a dispute over promotional merchandise. A fan, claiming they did not receive a limited edition cup due to a store error, escalated the issue to legal proceedings, accusing Dinter of defamation and fraud.

He also specifically reminded him to 'bring the golden card when attending court.'

The article mentions Dinter was summoned to court and instructed to bring a specific item.

What makes this case particularly unusual is Dinter's response. Demonstrating a willingness to resolve the conflict, he arrived at court prepared to offer a compensation package 50 times the value of the original dispute. This included 50 rare, discontinued promotional cups and a custom-made giant "golden membership card." This gesture, intended to show sincerity and perhaps a touch of playful defiance, highlighted the absurdity of the situation.

He prepared 50 times the compensation he owed the other party, a total of 50 already out-of-print 'limited edition laser joint cups' and a specially made 'giant version of Te Hao He Golden Card.'

However, the fan failed to appear in court, leaving Dinter and his elaborate compensation offer waiting. This no-show by the plaintiff adds another layer of strangeness to the saga, leaving many to wonder about the fan's true intentions and the validity of their claims. The incident, while seemingly minor, underscores the unique dynamics between online personalities and their followers in Taiwan, where such disputes can sometimes spill into public and even legal arenas.

unexpectedly, the other party stood Dinter up and did not show up at all.
