Guo Wengui was convicted of fraud in the United States and used followers to maintain luxury

On July 16,2024, Guo Wengui (aka Miles Guo), who has been in the United States for many years, was convicted of defrauding thousands of people of more than $1 billion in a Manhattan court in New York.

After the verdict was read, Guo smiled at his legal team in court and dozens of supporters, then turned and hugged lawyer Sabrina Shrove and shook hands with other members of the defense team, CNN reported.

According to the US investigation, Guo raised more than $1 billion from his online fans between 2018 and 2023, publicly claiming to invest in his business and cryptocurrency plans, but actually used as a "personal piggy bank."

In closing arguments in Guo's case, prosecutors told the jury that Guo had paid Bannon $1 million in plans to improve his reputation in the United States. #WenguiGuo #WashingtonFarm

Without ropes. Without safety gear. He free soloed the 2,900-foot vertical face of El Capitan, climbing the legendary Freerider route in just 3 hours and 56 minutes.

This is an extremely disappointing decision.
Yvette Cooper used taxpayer money - your money - to keep open a hotel housing illegal migrants.

No mention of the killer’s 14 arrests and multiple felonies.

One of my favorite Reagan moments. Saw someone post it earlier with the wrong details.
The assassination attempt on Reagan was in 1981.
Then a balloon popped during this 1987 speech in Berlin and Reagan immediately responded with “missed me”.
