# Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok): community discussion 135

Community discussion, batch 135 (Jul 13, 2026 – Jul 16, 2026), 1,000 messages, on the Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok) case. Discussion starts with disputes over account ownership, aliases, and possible multi-operator control, then shifts to evidence integrity in one criminal matter (case No. 26-1853). Participants argue over filing trustworthiness (a 171-page record, plus references to files 863 and 861), whether Torrés’s kneeling and victim statements are persuasive, and whether sentencing relief remains possible. Others dispute refund and asset-recovery routes while a subset says the thread reflects broader political interference, so no shared conclusion forms. Community statements, not court findings.
