Thomas Wu (Chinese: 吳東亮; pinyin: Wú Dōngliàng; born 11 April 1950) is a Taiwanese business executive.
[20] Wu also explored merging with Shin Kong Financial Holding [zh], held by his brother Eugene.
[25][26] In August 2004, Thomas Wu terminated several Taishin Financial board members close to his brother Eric.
[27] Later that month, the board of directors of Shinkong Synthetic Fibers Corporation elected Thomas to serve as company chairman.
[28] As the business chairmanship dispute continued, Thomas and Eric were suspected of insider trading and investigated by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Thomas yielded the chairmanship of Shinkong Synthetic Fibers Corporation to Eric, and was named to the same position at Taishin Financial Holdings.
[35] With the leadership dispute resolved, Taishin Financial share price rose to NT$29.40 in early December 2004.
[42] After the merger with SinoPac fell through, Taishin Financial bid NT$36.6 billion for a controlling stake in Chang Hwa Commercial Bank.
[48] However, the Executive Yuan stalled the merger, necessitating the sale of Taishin Securities Company to the Koos Group.
