Political career

In January 2012, Lin was appointed as the Secretary-General of the Executive Yuan, making him the youngest person to ever hold the position.[4] On 27 June 2012, local media reported that Lin had accepted a bribe of NT$63 million from Chen Chi-hsiang in exchange for helping his Dih Yeon Mineral Selection Company secure a contract from China Steel Corporation in 2010.[5] The Taipei District Court sentenced Lin to seven years and four months in prison, stripped him of civil rights for five years, and ordered him to pay a fine of NT$15.8 million.[6] Lin appealed the ruling to the Taiwan High Court, which lengthened his prison term to 13 years and six months.[7]
