# Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok): community discussion 094

Community discussion, batch 094 (Mar 25, 2026 – Mar 27, 2026), 1,000 messages, on the Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok) case. From March 25 to March 27, 2026, participants disputed whether the complaint, arrest, and FBI timeline was coherent and whether evidence and testimony were sufficient beyond speculation. Core friction remained over victim-versus-conspirator framing and who should carry loss. Financial debate covered forfeiture, return priorities, and disputed ownership of HDO/PAX-related funds, including the 6512 list. Procedural arguments focused on using second-circuit filings, appeal routes, and statute 853, CRVA, and MRVA options, with no court findings introduced. Community statements, not court findings.
