Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok): community discussion 065
Community discussion, batch 065 (Dec 20, 2025 – Dec 26, 2025), 994 messages, on the Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok) case. Batch 65 (Dec 20–Dec 26, 2025) focused on the Miles Guo case, with disputes across three axes: contested facts (including the $2500 refund and funds-origin claims), procedural interpretation of CVRA, Brady, 853(n), and what “733”/“782” references mean, plus tactical sequencing. Participants argued over pressure tactics versus procedural restraint in filings, with no shared view on participation scale, bias claims, or judicial motive; most framed issues as court-integrity disputes rather than verified rulings. Community statements, not court findings.
