What happened
The China Post reports that "a Chinese man with the surname Wang was the mastermind. A Taiwanese accomplice surnamed Yang was allegedly responsible for swindling local young girls' ID documents from their parents, mainly in eastern Taiwan's Hualien County." Also involved was a travel agency manager named Liao who helped get passports and U.S. visas for the girls involved.There were also 30 Taiwanese women who were employed to travel with the girls, although they claim they had no knowledge of the scheme.
Response and intervention
The NIA was involved, and it appears they have taken 74 suspects into custody. The article does not say, as this is a developing case. The link: http://www.chinapost.com.tw/taiwan/national/national-news/2009/06/19/212801/Largest-ever-human.htm
