# Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok): community discussion 078

Community discussion, batch 078 (Feb 14, 2026 – Feb 17, 2026), 1,000 messages, on the Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok) case. From Feb 14–17, 2026, the Guo thread moved from moderation fights to legal arguments. Participants debated §853(n) versus 853i, Rule 60 timing, and whether hearings should precede sentencing or forfeiture. They disputed victim status, the 6000-group claims tied to Gail, and whether third-party claims tied to ECF No. 785’s 134/238 submissions have standing. They also contested if criminal rulings carry to bankruptcy, including references to case 671 and Wang Yanping. Community statements, not court findings. Community statements, not court findings.
