### Attempted comeback

Throughout 2010 Tsao attempted to join several [independent baseball league](/wiki/Independent_baseball_league "Independent baseball league") teams in the United States but was rejected repeatedly. Between December 2010 and November 2012 Tsao ran a [barbecue](/wiki/Barbecue "Barbecue") restaurant in [Hualien City](/wiki/Hualien_City "Hualien City") along with his former Brother Elephants teammate [Chen Chih\-yuan](/wiki/Chen_Chih-yuan "Chen Chih-yuan") who was also expelled by CPBL due to game\-fixing allegations. In November 2012 Tsao withdrew his barbecue restaurant shares to open his own [beef noodle soup](/wiki/Beef_noodle_soup "Beef noodle soup") restaurant in Hualien City alongside his then girlfriend, surnamed Pan.[改拿鍋鏟 曹錦輝與女友賣牛肉麵](https://tw.news.yahoo.com/%E6%94%B9%E6%8B%BF%E9%8D%8B%E9%8F%9F-%E6%9B%B9%E9%8C%A6%E8%BC%9D%E8%88%87%E5%A5%B3%E5%8F%8B%E8%B3%A3%E7%89%9B%E8%82%89%E9%BA%B5-120647116--mlb.html)

In April 2014 Pan told [Apple Daily Taiwan](/wiki/Apple_Daily_%28Taiwan%29 "Apple Daily (Taiwan)") that by the end of 2013 Tsao embezzled some NT$1\.6 million (ca. USD 50,000\) from her and the restaurant. Tsao then fled with his new girlfriend and disappeared from the restaurant ever since.[曹錦輝不賣麵了　前女友控捲款落跑](http://www.appledaily.com.tw/realtimenews/article/new/20140413/378312/) Tsao denied any wrongdoing in a pre\-recorded video, but did not show up publicly.[曹錦輝駁變心捲款 嗆前女友瞞已婚](http://news.ltn.com.tw/news/society/paper/770488/print) Pan sued Tsao and the lawsuits remain unsettled. Their restaurant closed down in July 2014\.

Tsao attempted a return to professional baseball in December 2014, signing with the [Adelaide Bite](/wiki/Adelaide_Bite "Adelaide Bite") of the [Australian Baseball League](/wiki/Australian_Baseball_League "Australian Baseball League"), partway through the 2014–15 season. However, the Australian Baseball League suspended Tsao upon his arrival in Adelaide, after discussions with CPBL and MLB officials.
