Community discussion, batch 133 (Jul 7, 2026 – Jul 9, 2026), 1,000 messages, on the Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok) case. Discussions centered on the Second Circuit appeal following Judge Torres's rulings, focusing on the procedural distinction between denials and mootness, whether the Southern District would trigger substantive review, and whether viable windows remain before reaching the Supreme Court. While participants agreed procedural milestones like stays, vacatur, mandamus, and notices of appeal dictate timing, they disputed whether these could overturn the verdict, while clashing over fraud narratives, asset forfeiture, and online credibility.
