A United States court has sentenced Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui to 30 years in prison for fraud and embezzlement involving billions of dollars. Once considered among China’s wealthiest figures, Guo fled to the US in 2017 after facing corruption allegations in China, which he denied. In New York, Judge Analisa Torres ruled that Guo exploited pro-democracy supporters to amass large sums of money, which he used to fund a lavish lifestyle.
Guo, also known as Miles Guo and Ho Wan Kwok, had presented himself as a critic of the Chinese Communist Party and gained a strong online following among the Chinese diaspora. Between 2018 and 2023, he raised over one billion dollars from supporters, claiming the funds would promote democracy in China. Instead, prosecutors said he spent the money on luxury items including a mansion, a Lamborghini, and a yacht.
Guo denied the charges, insisting the funds were used for political activities. His associate, former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, had previously collaborated with him on anti-CCP campaigns before facing separate fraud charges in the US.
