There are several inaccuracies and imbalances within this article which need correction - I trust that we can work together to ensure the article is factual and meets all Wikipedia guidelines. For transparency, I declare that I have a connection with Bruno Wang.
This article is disproportionately focused on members of the Wang family and does not serve well as a summary of the subject. A number of the allegations against the Wang family are also wrong and inaccurate. Though there are many wider issues with how this article is written, the following are the most urgent points to address.
1. It is inaccurate to say that Andrew Wang’s wife and children were indicted by Taiwanese prosecutors on charges of bribery, or money laundering. In particular, none of Bruno Wang his mother and siblings have ever been indicted for bribery, or money laundering. The claim regarding Bruno Wang, his mother, and siblings should therefore be removed. Moreover, and in this context, it should be mentioned that "Andrew Wang’s wife and children were ruled as innocent third parties who could not be accused of any criminal offence in 2019 by the Taiwanese Supreme Court."

2. The language claiming that Bruno Wang was "embroiled" in a cash for honours scandal is unnecessarily sensational and the claim is also wrong. Bruno Wang never sought or received any honour. The paragraph on the donation should therefore be removed, as it is inaccurate and, in any event, is entirely tangential to the topic of this article given that he was ruled an innocent third party.
3. Bruno Wang is mentioned 6 times in the text compared to 4 mentions of his father Andrew Wang, who was the only family member actually involved in the deal that is the subject matter of the article. The article should be reviewed as per the Manual of Style to remove the unnecessary mentions, as it currently creates a false impression of increased relevance.
The article creator has also inserted internal links to Bruno Wang from 6 different articles on Wikipedia. A redirect exists from Bruno Wang to this article, so most of these links are redundant. More concerningly, the insistence on redirecting from, mentioning and linking to Bruno Wang, who is a peripheral figure in the situation and was ruled an innocent third party, is targeting him unfairly.
These are the articles in question:
The reference to Rebecca Wang is also irrelevant; she is not a joint account holder and was also ruled an innocent third party in any event.
4. After the sentence "In 2017 Taiwan’s supreme court ordered the return of US$312.5 million in illegal proceeds held by the Wang family," I would ask that the following sentence is added to accurately reflect the results of this:
"Of the original allegations made against Andrew Wang, many of the ensuing financial allegations have been dismissed and described by various courts as "wholly unintelligible", "hopelessly general and vague", and "scandalous and vexatious"."

5. There are a number of instances where the language used is misleading. For example:
I propose this paragraph be changed to more accurately read as follows:
