Zhang Qingyu, abbot of Donglin Temple in Yilan, Taiwan, and his ordained son Zhang Weifu are suspected of embezzling nearly 70 million yuan (approximately NT$330 million) in temple donations. Investigators uncovered more than a dozen iron boxes containing gold and silver buried under gravel outside the temple's meditation quarters during a search operation. The investigation revealed that temple funds were transferred to private accounts and laundered through purchases of cryptocurrencies, gold, and silver. The case remains under active investigation.
