Ho Wan Kwok and the temple of doom

Exiled Chinese billionaire with CT ties faces decades in prison for defrauding investors of millions

A federal judge has agreed to delay the sentencing of Miles Guo, an exiled Chinese billionaire and Greenwich resident convicted of defrauding investors of millions.

Guo, also known as Guo Wengui and referred to in his indictment as Ho Wan Kwok, was found guilty in July on nine counts, including racketeering conspiracy. He was scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 9, but United States District Judge Analisa Torres agreed last week to postpone the sentencing to Jan. 6, 2025. 

The judge's order requires the government and Guo's attorneys to submit sentencing filings in December. In the government's case, Torres said prosecutors must also provide the names of any victims who wish to be heard at sentencing. 

I mentioned that the Taconic house sold by his Trustee in Bankruptcy four days ago for $7.250 million, but for a full history of Mr. Ho’s troubled past, I refer you to an even earlier article I posted here in 2023.

UPDATE:

A friend who knows (a lot) about this kind of thing writes:

That Chinese guy on Stanwich? He had an apt in The Sherry Netherland ….

Get this, the guy who owned the apartment below was absolutely, positively connected to the USA govt. I forget how. Or, when. Or, in what capacity. But, spy wouldn't surprise me.

Did you know the fire that destroyed Guo's apartment ignited after he had left, and while the FBI was still there?

The significance of which is -- to me -- when the Fire Dept hosed down Guo's apt, they also soaked everything in the apt below, presumably including evidence against Guo. (If, in fact, the guy on 17 was collecting evidence. And, who the hell knows?) Maybe that's all just a coincidence.

Or not. Curious, in any event.
