Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok): community discussion 067

Community discussion, batch 067 (Jan 4, 2026 – Jan 9, 2026), 1,000 messages, on the Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok) case. From Jan 4 to Jan 9, 2026, the batch centers on procedural legitimacy around Docs. 528, 582, 596, and 679, and whether nonparty filing controls and CVRA/§853(n) rights were narrowed without adequate process. Participants dispute whether the jump to pre-screening was a procedural escalation, whether docketing equals notice, and whether appellate thresholds in the Second Circuit under FRAP 21 and IFP alter review. They also argue over evidentiary links, bankruptcy-criminal sequencing, and CIPA §4/Brady timing in sentencing. Community statements, not court findings.
