SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 15 –
After a circus-like civil case
involving Guo Wengui in the
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York,
which Inner City Press closely
covered, here,
March 15, 2023 saw the
unsealing of a twelve-count
Indictment charging
HO WAN KWOK,
a/k/a “Miles Guo,” a/k/a
“Miles Kwok,” a/k/a “Guo
Wengui,” a/k/a “Brother
Seven,” a/k/a “The Principal,”
and KIN MING JE, a/k/a
“William Je,”
The
prosecutors said that "KWOK
was arrested this morning in
New York, New York, and will
be presented this
afternoon. JE is
currently at large."
Not mentioned was
another, related arrest on
March 15, of Guo's chief of
staff Yangping Wang, aka
Yvette Wang. Inner City Press,
lone media in the Magistrates
Court, live tweeted her
presentment when the
prosecutors, seemingly hoping
to flip her as a cooperator,
offered release on $5 million
bond, but only with two
co-signers they approve.
The
complaint, signed under seal
on March 10, remained under
seal during the proceeding.
Now it's on Patreon here.
She will remain detained for
now. Vlog here.
Thread:
"Yvette
Wang" has Jen Shah's lawyer,
Priya Choudhury- who was just
negotiating with the 3 AUSAs
here. She was arrested early
this morning.
She's charged
with conspiracy to commit wire
and securities fraud, G-TV.
Note: Yangping Wang aka Yvette
Wang has been quoted about
Guo's Sherry-Netherland
penthouse and is described as
Guo's assistant.
AUSA: We
agree to bond of $5 million,
secured by $1 million in cash
or real property. We have made
consular notification. [She is
a citizen of China]
AUSA: She is
charged with a $100 million
wire transfer. She is a risk
of flight. Her apartment was
purchased in the name of an
LLC
AUSA: She and Guo
have worldwide supporters, the
Himalaya Farm Alliance. In her
apartment this morning we
found $138,000 cash in a safe,
and 12 iPhones
AUSA: She had
numerous Sim cards and a large
Hermes bag.
AUSA: One of her
entities is in the BVI. She
recently did business in Dubai
in the UAE. She could cut the
GPS bracelet
AUSA: The two
co-signers she proposed we
allege are co-conspirators.
Choudhury: She has $138,000 in
cash because her accounts get
closed in banks like Santander
and Bank of America.
Judge
Parker: She will detained
until $5 million bond
co-signed by two approved by
the government.
She must disclose
all assets, including accounts
and any crypto-currency
Later in Guo's
detention hearing, Judge
Parker mentioned Silvergate
Bank - follow up story coming.
Inner City
Press will be covering the
presentment. For now,
detention memo on Patreon here.
The case is US v.
Wang, 23-mj-2007 (Parker)
