# Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok): community discussion 042

Community discussion, batch 042 (Sep 24, 2025 – Sep 26, 2025), 1,000 messages, on the Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok) case. From Sep 24 to Sep 26, 2025, the group debated strategy, split between strict court procedure and public pressure. Members disputed pro se filing channels, one-party call-recording legality in New York, and Mandamus logistics, while also arguing victim versus creditor status under CVRA and 18 U.S.C. §853(n). A legal-theory thread reframed the harm as bankruptcy fraud/obstruction and cited the Sep 19 docket entry 750, plus Teapot Dome and Enron-type precedents. Community statements, not court findings.
