was arrested Friday morning immediately upon returning to Taiwan from abroad.

Lo sold shares of Zodic to investors to rake in about NT$1 billion (US$32.26 million) after allegedly disseminating false information about the prospects of his company.

Lo’s wife and the 13 others were released on bail ranging between NT$30,000 (US$969) and NT$300,000 (US$9,699) after questioning.     [FULL  STORY]
