[quote=“Deuce Dropper”][quote=“jkipp”][i][color=#0000FF]Mod’s note: Older thread here: [Ratting out other foreigners
When I was in Taichung in June I crossed two foreigners (one french, one older American) in a bar and we discussed about this kind of issues.
They mentioned they make about 50-150K Taiwan Dollar per months by reporting illegal kindergarten and teachers, pretty much bragging about it, showing photos of arrests and raids. They also mentioned reporting foreigners gets them faster money. [/quote]
I highly doubt they ever made 150K, or 50K for that matter in a month, sounds like they are full of shit.

One of them used to be an illegal teacher and was kicked out by his illegal school, then turned against them after coming back legally. The American guy was pretty proud about it, seeing himself as a “bounty hunter” and he said in English speaking countries its normal that the citizens have to uphold the law (they even have citizen arrests and such). [/quote]
Uphold the law? STFU with that shit, I’d have laughed in their fucking faces. They sound like straight up losers.

I’m moving to Taiwan in January, its likely I’ll just report some schools and teachers I see to them and ask for 50%. Its easy money. Although I will be in Taipei.[/quote]
Its more likely you wont make a cent. Hopefully someone will hurt you (Mod: I am not threatening violence, more or less just HOPING something bad happens to this person who is so keen to live a life so shameful, so save the PMs and the banning please. Thanks… And BTW this is not me being rude, dismissive or whatever to a Mod, just a bit of friendly banter.).
***this whole ‘its ok to rat out foreigners because I think they aren’t playing by the rules’ thing is completely bogus. how people earn their money is none of your fuckin business as long as it doesn’t affect your day to day life. And spare me the ‘it reflects poorly on all foreigners’ BS please because if you cannot carve out an identity for yourself independent of every other cracker on this island then you deserve the shit reputation you think others are bestowing upon you with their hustle. I got a lot of friends who teach and a lot of them do extra ‘illegal’ classes to make extra dough. And you think it is high and righteous to shit on these people and profit from them by ratting them out? Fucking pathetic!
People like that are truly scum of the Earth and not real men/women. And these two from Taichung with their fictional tales (the Frog and the Seppo) need a good size 12 in the arse and if what is said about them is true, I hope they end up on the receiving end of a tire iron, wielded by a few orange haired taikes who just jumped out of a black Beamer.

The OP failed to realize that there are bigger criminals in America than Taiwan: i.e. Bernanke and Co.
Follow the money just because some random dudes at the bar (probably half drunk) tell you that it’s easy money. Wow, how intuitive.
