Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok): community discussion 153

Community discussion, batch 153 (Aug 27, 2026 – Aug 27, 2026), 260 messages, on the Guo Wengui / Miles Guo (Ho Wan Kwok) case. Batch 153 (Aug 27, 2026) centers on two disputes: who actually controlled key entities and funds, and how forfeiture amounts should be attributed. Participants argue over a “boss” label versus documented operational authority, with focus on Himalaya Exchange, G Club, and related projects. They dispute how Count 3, Rule 2004 subpoena timing, Dkt.940/2331, Dkt.803, Dkt.822, Dkt.826-1, GXZ26, and later judgments in 720 and 858 support allocation between identified transactions and broader gross-inflow totals around $5.17b and $8.89b.
