Exhibit 6

Regarding the actions of Mr. Fa, Mr. Kao, and Mr. Dam, the following legal issues are presented:

Mr. Fa obtained funds from Mr. Kao and provided Mr. Kao with the vehicle registration manual as collateral for this agreement. Subsequently, Mr. Fa falsely stated to Mr. Kao that the vehicle registration manual would be used for vehicle inspection and would be returned the following day. Mr. Kao, believing this to be true, delivered the vehicle registration manual to Mr. Fa. Mr. Fa subsequently refused to return the manual to Mr. Kao. Upon learning of Mr. Fa’s deception, Mr. Kao expressed threats, demanding that Mr. Fa return the vehicle registration manual, otherwise Mr. Kao would set fire to Mr. Fa’s vehicle. Mr. Fa refused to return the vehicle registration manual.

Mr. Kao instructed Mr. Dam to steal the vehicle registration manual from Mr. Fa, which was stored at Mr. Fa’s residence. Mr. Dam then used a forged key to unlock Mr. Fa’s vehicle and entered the vehicle, taking the vehicle registration manual and delivering it to Mr. Kao.
