U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said: “As alleged, Ho Wan Kwok, known to many as “Miles Guo,” led a complex conspiracy to defraud thousands of his online followers out of over $1 billion dollars. Kwok is charged
with lining his pockets with the money he stole, including buying
himself, and his close relatives, a 50,000 square foot mansion, a $3.5 million Ferrari, and even two $36,000 mattresses, and financing a $37 million luxury yacht.
As alleged, Kwok lied to his victims and promised them outsized returns
if they invested, or provided money to, GTV, his so-called Himalaya Farm Alliance, G|CLUBS, and the Himalaya Exchange.
Kwok is further charged with laundering hundreds of millions of stolen
funds to conceal the conspiracy’s illegal activities and continue the fraud’s operations.

You'll remember Guo as the owner of the yacht on which Bannon was
arrested and for disseminating nonconsensual nudes pictures.

Late in the 2020 presidential campaign, trailing in the polls, Donald
Trump and his allies worked to make a campaign issue out of a trove of
files on a laptop that his opponent’s son, Hunter Biden, had apparently abandoned at a Delaware repair shop. The effort to publicize
compromising emails, images, and videos from the device involved
prominent Trump confidants including Rudy Giuliani and Steven Bannon.
But it also featured an unexpected player: Guo Wengui, a fugitive
Chinese tycoon who was working with Bannon to build a small empire of Chinese-language media outlets, nonprofits, and other ventures.
Mother Jones obtained scores of WhatsApp audio messages Guo sent to supporters, along with underlying material from Biden’s hard drive that Guo’s assistant distributed at his behest. Previous reports have noted
the role of Guo allies and companies in publicizing sex tapes and other material involving Hunter Biden. But the WhatsApp messages, and sources
who were involved in the effort, reveal that Guo—who has been accused in lawsuits of fraud and rape and of secretly acting as an agent for the Chinese Communist Party—played a larger role than previously known in ensuring that explicit images and videos from the laptop appeared
online, and in spreading lies about them.

An exiled Chinese tycoon indicted in New York earlier this month in a billion-dollar fraud case controls the conservative social media
platform Gettr and used it to promote cryptocurrencies and propaganda, former employees have told The Washington Post...
Gettr played up its Americanness from the beginning, launching on Independence Day. The site declares that it “champions free speech, rejects cancel-culture, and provides a best-in-class technology platform
for the marketplace of ideas.”
Internally, it prioritized U.S. politics, according to an undated
internal spreadsheet that tracked how much it paid influencers to post
on its network and attract new users.
Over varying periods ending as late as December 2022, Bannon’s War Room podcast received $50,000, according to a screenshot of the spreadsheet Badejo gave to The Post. It was the largest sum of 18 payment streams listed. Bannon did not respond to requests for comment.
Turning Point USA leader Charlie Kirk’s Resolute Media received $18,000, according to the document. About $15,000 each went to firms marked as connected to well-known conservative commentators Dinesh D’Souza and
Jack Posobiec and to British rightist Tommy Robinson, the document said. Smaller amounts went to the podcasting duo of Lynette Hardaway and
Rochelle Richardson, known as Diamond and Silk, and to activist Andy
Ngo. Kirk, D’Souza, Posobiec, Richardson and Ngo did not respond to requests for comment. Robinson could not be reached.
The former employees said they were unnerved that the money for Gettr
came from a foreigner, especially because some exiles have accused Guo
of being a double agent for the Chinese government working at co-opting opposition, noting that he was close to high officials before leaving.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/chinese-american-bank-willingly-provided-biden-family-financial-records-gop-senator/ar-AA197KwHThat's an interesting twist. I heard the committee chair point out that they've been unable to get any US banks to release
Biden family records. But a Chinese bank gave me 'em a little dope without subpoena.
Why? Is this a warning to Biden to back off the anti-China rhetoric? The freedom of navigation in the S. China Seas?
Why would a Chinese bank be the only one to cough up the dirt?

This isn't the first groundless grievance you've claimed.
