# Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok): community discussion 113

Community discussion, batch 113 (May 21, 2026 – May 26, 2026), 1,000 messages, on the Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok) case. From May 21-26, 2026, participants debated proper filing and whether local filing or FBI referral was possible, then moved from stock-non-delivery claims to broader accusations of fraud, laundering, misappropriation, and luxury spending. They disputed Guo’s knowledge, command, and control for RICO, and whether bankruptcy plus alter-ego material could strengthen criminal proof. Procedure then became central, with arguments on stay, 2106, and Rule 32. No specific case or ECF identifiers were quoted. Community statements, not court findings.
