Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok): community discussion 152

Community discussion, batch 152 (Aug 25, 2026 – Aug 27, 2026), 281 messages, on the Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok) case. The thread disputes the base for forfeiture in Wang and Guo, tracking a 1.4 billion plea against a 1.3 billion trial accounting and later 889 million after the 411 million SEC-related adjustment, while questioning how much is personally obtained, laundering property, and uncollected balance. Participants cite Rule 32.2 and harmless-error concerns, and contest the effects of Dkt.469, Dkts. 488/720/858, bankruptcy Dkts 5739/5777/5747/5769, and alter-ego litigation in Adv. Proc. 24-5249, Taurus/Mahwah, and 26-1853. Community statements, not court findings.
