Jiahua’s Presidental Bombing Hoax[4]
A fake Deng Jiahua Facebook account posted the following joke on Janurary 6 2013:
I’ve sent people down to set bombs on the president’s house. By 12 a.m., we’ll blow Ma Ying-jeou (President of Taiwan) ’till none of his bits were found
Original Chinese post:
我已经派人在总统府放好炸弹了,预测今晚12点让马英九死无全尸
This joke later controversy towards the government, fearing Jiahua really sent people to blow the president up. As soon as an Anonymous Facebook user found out someone else posted this, he/she immediately reported to the police, claiming Jiahua never posted this and therefore, he was indeed proven framed.
The police department tried to track down the suspect by revamping IP addresses he had went, but was never caught.
