This kind of thing happens all over Asia as well as allover the world daily. Seems like he only has himself to blame for doing such a silly thing. Taiwan like many Asian countries carries out the death penalty for drug trafficking so hope he gets good representation for his own sake. You'd think at 35 years of age that he'd be smarter than that.
