# Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok): community discussion 047

Community discussion, batch 047 (Oct 13, 2025 – Oct 17, 2025), 1,000 messages, on the Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok) case. Community participants focused on whether to escalate Guo Wen Gui’s case (郭先生/郭文贵, also called 七哥) through a Second Circuit mandamus filing while protecting ancillary forfeiture rights in United States v. Ho Wan Kwok, 1:23-cr-00118 (AT). The group debated timing and framing of §853(n) objections before a likely final forfeiture motion, Luc’s legal standing in the case, and filing mechanics tied to filings referenced as ECF 528, 724, 750, and 751. Community statements, not court findings.
