Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok): community discussion 148

Community discussion, batch 148 (Aug 19, 2026 – Aug 20, 2026), 193 messages, on the Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok) case. Discussions center on three procedural disputes without substantive consensus. Participants debate evidence disclosure regarding Dkt. 716-4, weighing trial errors, Brady or Napue violations, and fraud on the court over allegedly truncated fund-flow charts. They also dispute whether commingled funds undermine wire fraud and money laundering convictions or solely affect restitution. Finally, participants analyze Dkt. 5739, arguing whether coordinating criminal forfeiture with bankruptcy assets before resolving alter-ego claims risks due process and double recovery.
