SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 1 – 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.
Jump cut to
January 9, 2024 when Guo and
Wang were arraigned on the
superseding indictment. It was
done on no notice; none of his
supporters were there. Inner
City Press was, and live
tweeted, threadette here:
Guo: Good morning
your Honor. Absolutely not
guilty!
On January 12
Guo's lawyers filed that they
want to move to dismiss the
superseding indictment that
added conspiracy, and so want
to adjourn the trial to June
3. Letter on Patreon here.
On January 16,
Judge Torres set a schedule
and set the trial for May 20:
"The trial scheduled for April
8, 2024, is ADJOURNED to May
20, 2024." Order on Patreon here
On February 1,
Wang in arguing to sever her
case noted DOJ arguments about
her prior counsel (having
worked on the prosecution of
Guo) and noted she is not
accused of buying "a $140,000
piano and $72,000 of
mattresses." Wang's lawyer
introduces three exhibits
under seal, letter on Patreon
here.
