Recently, a case of collective fraudulent subsidy collection occurred in Japan. Since there are also national tax employees involved, it has become a major incident that major media have tracked down. Among them, there are media reports that the suspect’s home has a large number of computer screens, which is very unusual! However, this way of reporting that “there are many computer screens” and “fraudsters” are tied together immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of a large number of Japanese netizens.
Japan has recently cracked down on a fraudulent group that swindled subsidies and arrested seven members, including Kohei Tsukamoto, who worked at the Tokyo Internal Revenue Service. Because of his sensitive identity, he was widely reported by the Japanese media and traced to his rental house.
TV Asahi interviews Tsukamoto suspect’s landlord
Tsukamoto once asked the landlord to increase the speed of the Internet
The landlord said that following he rented the house to Tsukamoto, he stepped into Tsukamoto’s room because he had to deal with the Internet, but saw an unusual scene: “The computer in his room is exaggerated.”
“There are two tables, each with two or three screens.”
“I remember asking him at the time, did he play games or stocks part-time?”
The landlord thought the sight was quite unusual!
If you look closely at the upper right corner of the news, you will find that the title also reads “The suspect Tsukamoto has a large number of screens in his house”!
This way of reporting that “there are many computer screens” and “fraudsters” are tied together immediately aroused the dissatisfaction and complaints of a large number of Japanese netizens.
“There are obviously many people who use multiple screens to do things, like me.”
“So, with five screens side by side, will I commit a heinous crime?”
“Multiple monitors are not uncommon…especially for people who are computer literate. There are also many people who use dual monitors in the company”
“It turns out that I am so unusual.”
“Will a reporter be seen as a heinous criminal if they see my room?”
