# Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok): community discussion 080

Community discussion, batch 080 (Feb 19, 2026 – Feb 21, 2026), 1,000 messages, on the Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok) case. From Feb 19, 2026 to Feb 21, 2026, this batch centered on contested procedure and forfeiture in United States v. Kwok. Participants dispute whether 853/853n/853i and 361/364/785 filings are executable orders, whether one order can cover multiple files, and whether Second Circuit, CIPA, and mandamus timing can reopen issues. They also argue victim framing, Mahwah disposal, and GTV in forfeiture, citing Doc 148-1, Doc 202, the PAX PI Order (Jan. 11, 2023), CVRA, and MVRA. Community statements, not court findings.
