Also important to note, that he was given the option to convert the 5 months into a NT$150,000 fine and serve no time. That's about the equivalent of USD$4700.

In the divorce, he was awarded NT$500,000 from his ex wife. So even paying the fine he'd still come out ~USD$11,000 ahead.

    Ah, so the classic “it’s only a crime if you’re poor” response from the courts. Cool.
