# Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok): community discussion 081

Community discussion, batch 081 (Feb 21, 2026 – Feb 22, 2026), 1,000 messages, on the Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok) case. From Feb 21-22, 2026, the thread moved from AI practicality to evidence disputes. Members argued whether average users can self-learn AI tools and whether cost should shape legal strategy. It then centered on identity and verification, with repeated references to Doc 805/CIPA, Doc 294, and Doc 783. Disagreements continued over late post-trial relief, whether judges abused discretion, and whether criminal RICO decisions control civil or bankruptcy arguments involving ROL. Community statements, not court findings.
