## Resource

Chinese businessman Miles Guo, aka Guo Wengui, just received a thirty-year prison sentence for orchestrating a billion-dollar fraud scheme that preyed on supporters convinced they were funding anti-CCP activism. The judge found him remorseless and ordered him to forfeit nearly nine hundred million dollars. His lavish lifestyle—including a $37 million yacht, $26 million mansion, and $36,000 mattresses—funded by victims’ life savings, was exposed during a seven-week trial. Guo’s ties to Steve Bannon, who was arrested on his yacht and faces his own legal woes, added to the drama. Over 600 victims shared heartbreaking stories, while supporters in court saw him as a democracy hero. Guo claims innocence and plans to appeal, despite the jury’s guilty verdict on nine counts including racketeering and money laundering.
