# Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok): community discussion 128 Community discussion, batch 128 (Jun 29, 2026 – Jun 30, 2026), 1,000 messages, on the Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok) case. From June 29 to June 30, 2026, community discussion shows a highly polarized thread moving from hearing logistics to merits and procedure. Participants disputed whether scheduling was driven by recusal, how the post-858-order forfeiture math should be read (13 billion, 4.11 billion, and 8.89 billion), and whether Wang-related acquittal reasoning should affect linkage with the Guo case. The thread then split over sentencing (360 months on nine counts), victim counts, alleged courtroom-health incidents, and fairness of the process for later appeals. Community statements, not court findings.
