# Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok): community discussion 127

Community discussion, batch 127 (Jun 27, 2026 – Jun 29, 2026), 1,000 messages, on the Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok) case. This batch on Jun 27–29, 2026 centers on process-first tactics around a Jun 29 sentencing window, where participants link Torres recusal motions, emergency/admin stays, and possible Vacate relief through 28 U.S.C. §2106 and §853(n). Disputes focus on leverage, filing format, and forfeiture math using 13.8, 6.4, 2.4, and 11.4 billion figures; participants also invoke Honeycutt, Brady/Giglio, RICO, and Honeycutt v. United States, 581 U.S. 443 (2017), while challenging whether external proof is verifiable. Community statements, not court findings.
