Well...
He is not a USA resident nor a US citizen... The company he heads up is located in Tu-Cheng, Taiwan. Why exactly would he owe the IRS (USA) anything? He certainly wouldn’t pay American taxes.

In Taiwan it seems they have a “National Tax Administration” which is NOT called IRS… in fact there is no IRS in Taiwan.

Here in Canada we have the Canada Revenue Agency, the equivalent to the USA’s IRS… It is not the same.

Since I am talkin out my ass, provide me a link to the Taiwan IRS. At least back up your replies with some evidence.

[citation][nom]7amood[/nom]just more reasons to boycott the suspicious company...[/citation]

Hon Hai Precision Mtd. is actually one of the largest corporations in the world. Their revenue alone is almost on the scale of Dell, and employ more than FMC does. They are practically numero uno of electronic OEM, and the second is not even one third of their scale. It's good to know that finally there is a Taiwan-based company became so big that it becomes loathful.

Almost all prominent Taiwanese business people have green card, or are citizens of the US. They employ certain number of US citizens in CONTUS, so why not get a investment immigration status? Some already fled to the US after being prosecuted for corruption in Taiwan.

Let's not get ourselves away from the topic. This guy owes a LOT of money. But he might out of this unharmed. Considering he's CEO, he might what it takes to pay that debt and maybe more.

haha! If that happens to some John Doe on this side, you'll be quite screwed. Your options will be: sell your soul, sell your ass. :)

Boycott, are you nuts? You like that "eVGA" video card? That "Intel" motherboard? That "Apple" iPhone? All Foxconn made. Just who are you going to boycott?

Actually I happen to use none of those things. Not that I'm purposely boycotting Foxconn or anything, I just prefer Sapphire or MSI for graphics cards, AMD motherboards and nothing Apple.

@Ronen

Yup, Foxconn makes plenty of AMD motherboards also. Sapphire is PC Partner (a large Hong Kong conglomerate). MSI is well, MSI. They may not be made by Foxconn, but I can bet that they use Foxconn components (such as I/O connectors). Hong Kong, Taiwan and China are just one big happy (though sometimes dysfunctional) family (sort of like HP, Apple and Dell all using the same laptop manufacturers and components)...
