Penny Tai's Money Stolen By Close Friend (Now Confirmed to be Singer Jet Yi Jie Qi)

The suspect

A large amount of money was fraudulently withdrawn from singer Penny Tai's bank account. The case was solved as the suspect, who is a close friend of Dai, admitted the crime.

Tai recently discovered $300,000NTD were withdrawn from her bank account 3 days in the row; however, she did not lose her ATM card.

The 32-year-old immediately reported it to the police and viewed the surveillance camera. She later posted the video on her Facebook and called fans for help.

Just a day after Tai posted the video, she received a phone call from a male friend (now confirmed to be Malaysian singer Jet Yi Jie Qi) and he admitted the crime. They went to the police the next day and he returned the money.

According to Yi, he needs money recently and decided to use Tai for help. He secretly took out the ATM card from her bag and went to get the money; then he put it back when he returned. He tried passwords Tai used often for her computer and accounts when withdrawing the money.

Because Yi is a close friend of hers, Tai could not believe it and was very upset. However, she decided to forgive and no further action will be taken against her friend.

Some people believe the incident is Tai's way of promoting herself. Tai denied this on Facebook and expressed her helplessness.

"I'm not releasing an album right now, no need for me to promote. Thanks for hurting me again just after this incident!"

Penny Tai Goes Topless For TV Commercial

Penny Tai is endorsing a Japanese brand tea drink. In order to present a fresh, healthy, and pretty image in the commercial, she went topless and covered her chest with her arms only. Standing in a sunny outdoor, she also had to sing the theme song during filming for 4 straight hours.

Because Penny's family is always conservative, asked how did they agree to make this bold move? She said with laughs: "Because within the world of music, we always present our true self in nude. When the crew brought me the rundown, I specially asked permission from my conservative parents. In the end they felt the commercial gives off a very fresh and healthy feeling, so I decided to film it!"

Worried whether it would too sexy? Penny first took a look at her chest, then pointed at her fringe with her fingers and said shyly: "My nudity won't give others a sexy feeling. More importantly, even if I took it off, it would be just like my hair, nothing worth seeing, not sexy, no one wants to see it!"
