COURTHOUSE,
Sept 1 – After
a circus-like
civil case
involving Guo
Wengui in SDNY,
which Inner
City Press
closely
covered, here,
March 15, 2023
saw the
unsealing of a
criminal
indictment.
Not mentioned was
another, related arrest on
March 15, of Guo's chief of
staff Yanping Wang, aka Yvette
Wang. Inner City Press live
tweeted her presentment when
the prosecutors offered
release on $5 million bond,
but only with two co-signers
they approve.
On March
22, Inner City Press was again
the only media in the SDNY
Magistrates Court when Yvette
Wang and her two lawyers
showed up, complaining that a
proposed suretor with a $2.5
million property was rejected.
Afterward Inner City Press
asked Wang's lawyer Alex
Lipman to confirm it is or was
Steve Bannon. He said, "We're
not going to answer."

On August 30,
Miles Guo's new lawyers filed
with Judge Torres asking her
to stay bankruptcy proceeding
which, they say, threaten to
violation Guo's Fifth
Amendment rights. Motion,
naming all bankruptcy
proceeding, on Patreon here
On September 1
Yvette Wang via counsel DOJ is
seeking to disqualify joined
in Guo's request, adding for
example that "vthe bankruptcy
court has suggested that Ms.
Wang’s status as a criminal
defendant subject to pretrial
detention is not sufficient to
obviate the need to seek to
collect documents from her.
(See Dkt. No. 2036 at 5, In re
Ho Wan Kwok, et al., No.
22-50073 (JAM) (Bankr. D.
Conn. July 28, 2023) (“[W]hile
Ms. Wang is presently detained
pending trial, Hudson Diamond
Holding LLC did not establish
that it cannot contact her –
through counsel if
necessary.”)). As a
result—and, once again,
notwithstanding the Fifth
Amendment implications—
counsel for third parties in
adversarial proceedings such
as HCHK Technologies, Inc., et
al. have contacted the
undersigned in an effort to
obtain documents from Ms.
Wang. To the extent Ms. Wang
possesses responsive
materials, the requests
implicate, at minimum, her
act-of-production privilege."
