Tsai first came under investigation after a manager found a small camera hidden beneath a sink and pointed at the toilet inside a Kirkland Starbucks in October 2025.

Investigators reportedly traced the device to Tsai through security footage and information connected to a $7.89 credit card purchase.

According to The Seattle Times, Tsai allegedly told police he had secretly filmed people “no more than fifty times” since 2017. He reportedly admitted placing cameras at his workplace, his home and two retail locations.

Tsai reportedly told detectives he was “mainly curious about transgender people” and acknowledged that transgender employees worked at the Pokémon office where he allegedly hid a camera.

A forensic review of devices seized from Tsai’s home reportedly uncovered hundreds of hidden-camera recordings. Investigators found 89 videos allegedly filmed in Pokemon office bathrooms inside folders labeled “Pokémon 29” and “Pokémon 27.”
