# Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok): community discussion 089

Community discussion, batch 089 (Mar 13, 2026 – Mar 17, 2026), 1,000 messages, on the Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok) case. From March 13, 2026 to March 17, 2026, the batch covers procedural and accountability disputes. Participants argue that labels like 814/815/816 are read differently and that repeated delay motions may be either legitimate defense preparation or intentional stalling. Liability debates extend from principal actors to co-responsibility across farm-loan related actors. Evidence disputes focus on social posts, translations, and property records, while some discuss appellate limits through cert, mandamus, and the "In re United States" reference. Community statements, not court findings.
