Community discussion, batch 087 (Mar 5, 2026 – Mar 8, 2026), 1,000 messages, on the Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok) case. From March 5, 2026 to March 8, 2026, the discussion focused on whether Guo-linked assets can still be forfeited and who controls criminal, civil, and third-party recovery after acquittals or prior judgments. Participants disputed the effect of GTV acquittal, Wang’s plea scope, and whether bankruptcy proceedings (including LUC recovery) could widen or limit enforcement. They also argued over alter-ego and leadership links between Guo and Wang, and whether RICO scope and the 484motion imply broader exposure. Community statements, not court findings.
