The irony in this story is overwhelming.
The guy fled China in 2014 because he faced prison for fraud and corruption. No-one believed China, despite them issuing an Interpol Red Notice for his arrest. Western media and US officials universally presented him as a brave dissident unfairly harassed by the "CCP" in a "politically motivated" way (bbc.com/news/world-asi…) because he was fighting corruption (see this VOA story for instance: voanews.com/a/prominent-co…), a complete inversion of reality.
Steve Bannon even started a nonprofit with him called the "Rule of Law Society." The irony writes itself.
Long story short and true to form, Miles Guo used his "dissident" credibility in the US to - guess what - defraud Americans of $1 billion.
And here we are, 12 years afterwards, with US courts essentially concluding "yeah no, he is actually a crook, our bad."
Which makes it probably the most expensive fact-check in history: $1 billion of damage to verify what an Interpol Red Notice said a decade ago.
I know I'll sound like a broken record but this is yet another fantastic illustration that the kneejerk anti-China bias in Western media is actively harmful. When China says "careful, that guy is a dangerous crook" maybe, just maybe, it's worth checking before branding him with a heroic "dissident" narrative that he can then use to rob your people's life savings... Just a thought 🤷
Exiled Chinese tycoon Miles Guo, who promoted himself as a crusader against the communist government in Beijing, was ordered to spend 30 years in a US prison for duping investors out of $1 billion bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
@LeighX2020@EzraACohen@DeptofWar I’m sure they are doing just that for when they regain control, making their own lists. True Americans have stayed too apathetic for too long. Better find their way quickly!
This is not our war.
But if it were, Congress must decide such matters according to our Constitution.
I’m introducing a bipartisan War Powers Resolution tomorrow to prohibit our involvement.
I invite all members of Congress to cosponsor this resolution.
@HensonJames11@s_m_marandi@SkyNews If history has taught humanity one thing. You cannot do deals with the devil. God iterates this clearly. They will always conspire and renege on deals made. They cannot fathom losing the imperialist colonialist empirical grip they once had on the globe. Fight them.
Randi was having a meltdown today..wonder why? What were you doing in Ukraine Randi?
Randi Weingarten's Ukraine trips reek of corruption.
The AFT boss didn't brave a war zone for teachers
Her Oct 2022 visit synced with a $275M aid drop-cash that vanished into untracked "humanitarian" accounts.
Then in May 2023, she's hanging with Lviv's mayor, Andriy Sadovyi, right before his city gets fat reconstruction funds. Suddenly, AFT's touting vague "Ukraine partnerships" where's the money trail?
Union dues don't cover war-zone jaunts, so who paid? Kyiv slush funds? And the BEST PART her trips line up with reports of $1.3B in aid "lost" to corruption, per Ukrainian whistleblowers.
Over $100B's and my bet is that it was to add to AFT coffers or Democratic war chests.
@JFGariepy I do have to wonder how with Trump’s personality that he just forgot Bibi’s betrayal last election. Has to be some kind of payback…but i wouldn expect it to be this good!
@matt_vanswol Party is an illusion. Sadly but truthfully, the corruption is so deep, it has gutted Congress and all of D.C.
The only way is to target ALL corrupted elected officials and their backers one by one, regardless of Party.
@RealHickory Trump just recently put out a post telling us nothing will happen if we all don’t get truly involved. I believe that to be true because nobody is getting prosecuted!

When the scams run for long enough with no one paying attention, they literally send zero dollars to the kids. Zero.
