Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok): community discussion 083
Community discussion, batch 083 (Feb 23, 2026 – Feb 25, 2026), 1,000 messages, on the Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok) case. Participants recount emotional reactions to farm loan losses alongside claims of arrests and contact loss, before debating contractual liability and organizational structure. Discussions then pivot to two main axes: asset recovery and forfeiture boundaries involving GTV, SEC, and § 853(n) petitions as discussed in ECF 806; and procedural fairness involving CIPA, RICO, Second Circuit filings, and 361/364 disclosures. Finally, participants divide between backing evidentiary preservation and contesting internal alliance leadership and Witness-2.
