SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 31 – Guo Wengui's
Eastern Profit Corporation
sued Strategic Vision US LLC,
in a sealed
complaint.
On October
5, 2020 U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Lewis J. Liman
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press live tweeted it, here
and below.
Now on
March 31 after Steve Bannon
got a pardon from
then-President Trump, Judge
Liman held another conference,
and Inner City Press again
covered it.
As the
parties prepared to go to
(bench) trial, Eastern
Profit's lawyer asked to go
into a sealed courtroom. Judge
Liman asked for her proffer
and she said that a certain
witness - whom she left
unnamed - may well invoke the
Fifth Amendment right to not
incriminate oneself, that
there are criminal issues in
the air.
Inner City Press
is now publishing the
complaint on Patreon here;
the talk of the centrality of
the witness and the looming
but not current criminal
issues point in one direction,
more on Patreon here.
The
defense's lawyer, who also
said he "just got his shot"
meaning COVID vaccine, said he
knows who the witness is and
yes, he is central.
Judge Liman
said this didn't have to be
addressed at this time. Inner
City Press will stay on the
case.
From October 5:
Now @SDNYLIVE Judge
Liman is denying summary
judgment in case of Guo Wengui
and Strategic Vision, can't
agree if a person wants to
overthrow Chinese Communist
Party can't be proven or not.
Inner City Press, blocked by
CCP's Zhang Jun, will live
tweet
The case was
filed under seal in SDNY in
March 2018. Much later it was
unsealed. A jury trial was set
for Nov 2, 2020 - but now
Strategic is point to Gov.
Cuomo's quarantine orders.
Main witness French Wallop
live in Virginia...
From one of the
motions for summary judgment,
Guo 1 Tr., Ex. AA: "Q: What
was it about the 15 names that
led you to believe that
Strategic's research would be
useful to you in your goal of
eliminating the Chinese
Communist Party? Grendi:
Object to
form
Judge Liman: I'd
like to keep the trial date,
& do it as a bench trial.
Happy to do it partly in the
courtroom.
Eastern's lawyer
Joanna J. Cline of Troutman
Pepper: Zoom would be fine.
Strategic's lawyer Ed Greim:
Our issue is we have to
isolate in NY for 14
days
Strategic's
Greim: It would be difficult
to cross examine these
witnesses including Mr. Guo by
Zoom and with an interpreter.
Judge Liman: Mr. Greim, your
arguments are ones that might
make it difficult for me to
give Eastern a trial any time
soon
The case,
in which Guo is also known as
Miles Kwok and in which now
SDNY criminal subject Stephen
K. Bannon is also listed, is
Eastern Profit Corporation
Limited v. Strategic Vision US
LLC, 18-cv-2185 (Liman)
