TLDR: husband caught his wife cheating through the camera of a robot vacuum, then decided to start recording the affair to help his legal case. He won NT$500,000 but since he illegally recorded the affair he was sued back and fined NT$150,000 (or prison time if he wishes not to pay)
If he pays, he still comes out 350k on top. I have no idea how Taiwan legal system works, but I assume lawyers aren’t stupid expensive like they are in the usa.

NT$500,000 is about $15K in USD.
Funny that you can sue for damages if your marital partner is cheating
