Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok): community discussion 085
Community discussion, batch 085 (Feb 27, 2026 – Mar 2, 2026), 1,000 messages, on the Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok) case. This batch (Feb 27, 2026 to Mar 2, 2026) centered on narrative control versus evidentiary rigor. Members disputed whether the prosecution’s framing around ECF 808/809, Doc 809, CIPA/subpoenas, and Second Circuit mandamus supports a conspiracy among prosecutors, the Alliance, and defense, or reflects unresolved procedural and evidentiary limits. They also argued over who counts as a victim under Section 853(n), whether criminal and bankruptcy (including RICO) frames can share facts, and whether mandamus docketing can influence sentencing.
