SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 7 – After a circus-like
civil case involving Guo
Wengui in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York, which
Inner City Press closely
covered, here,
March 15, 2023 saw the
unsealing of a twelve-count
Indictment charging
HO WAN KWOK,
a/k/a “Miles Guo,” a/k/a
“Miles Kwok,” a/k/a “Guo
Wengui,” a/k/a “Brother
Seven,” a/k/a “The Principal,”
and KIN MING JE, a/k/a
“William Je,” with various
wire fraud, securities fraud,
bank fraud, and money
laundering charges. "
Not mentioned was
another, related arrest on
March 15, of Guo's chief of
staff Yangping Wang, aka
Yvette Wang. Inner City Press,
lone media in the Magistrates
Court, live tweeted her
presentment.
