Community discussion, batch 026 (Aug 9, 2025 – Aug 12, 2025), 1,000 messages, on the Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok) case. From Aug 9–12, 2025, participants in batch 26 focused on Guo Wenwei case strategy around Document 720 and broader criminal-defense tactics. They disputed whether named letters to prosecutors, evidence attachments, and filing choices were effective, versus risky, while also contesting third‑party rights, creditor-listing status, and the status of alleged victims. They also debated whether bankruptcy creditor registrations and criminal-fraud claims could support each other, with no extra court-file or ECF identifiers cited beyond Document 720. Community statements, not court findings.
