GuoWengui
Is Guo Wengui, Chinese fugitive tycoon and member of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, also a spy?
A high-profile Chinese fugitive is accused of being a spy for the Chinese government, according to new documents filed in a federal-court case in New York
The allegations – that Guo is some sort of double agent uncovering real dissidents – come as the FBI continues to investigate possible espionage at Mar-a-Lago
A high-profile Chinese fugitive – who belongs to US President Donald Trump’s exclusive South Florida club, Mar-a-Lago, and has railed against China’s government – is accused of being a spy for that very regime, according to new documents filed in a federal-court case in New York. Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui, who also goes by Miles Kwok, fled to the United States four years ago after learning an associate had been arrested on corruption charges. He is now one of China’s most-wanted, accused of myriad crimes by the Chinese government, including paying bribes and sexual assault. He maintains his innocence, saying the charges are politically motivated. Guo, who made his money in real estate, has long promoted himself as a dissident being hunted by the Chinese government for his opposition to the ruling Chinese Communist Party.
He is currently seeking political asylum in the United States, where he reportedly avoided deportation by the Trump administration after the president learned Guo was a member of Mar-a-Lago.
Now, filings in a civil case, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, suggest Guo may not be the dissident he claims.
“Instead, Guo Wengui was, and is, a dissident-hunter, propagandist, and agent in the service of the People’s Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party,” according to federal court papers filed on Friday. The Chinese spy allegations against Guo surfaced last week in a contract dispute – rife with international and political intrigue – between a Hong Kong-based company, Eastern Profit Corporation Limited, and an Arlington, Virginia research firm, Strategic Vision US, LLC. Guo denied the allegations through his lawyer, saying the claim “utterly lacks credibility.”
“This lawsuit is about a contract between Eastern Profit and Strategic. Strategic is now abusing the litigation privilege to slander Mr. Guo,” wrote Guo’s lawyer, Daniel Podhaskie, in a response to the Miami Herald. He claimed the slander was retaliation after Strategic’s counterclaim was dismissed. Podhaskie pointed to Guo’s frozen assets in China as proof that he is not working with the Communist Party.
In the lawsuit, Eastern Profit says it hired Strategic Vision last year to investigate 15 unnamed individuals after holding several meetings at Guo’s ritzy flat at the Sherry-Netherland Hotel in Manhattan. The research firm said it had considerable experience in the field, citing probes of the personal lives of Republican politicians, a Middle Eastern prince, and a Russian official in the opposition party. But Eastern claims that Strategic Vision failed to deliver the private information on the 15 Chinese nationals operating in the United States after being paid an initial US$1 million for the promised “high-quality original research,” according to the federal suit filed last year in the Southern District of New York.
Strategic Vision, headed by CEO French Wallop, the widow of the late Wyoming Republican Senator Malcolm Wallop, was fired by Eastern Profit in February 2018 after the research firm provided information that was mostly publicly available on the probe’s targets, the suit says. Eastern Profit demanded the return of its US$1 million deposit for the research work, accusing Strategic Vision of breaching their contract. Strategic filed a counterclaim not only against Eastern Profit but also against Guo, alleging he is actually a Chinese government spy whose “origin story is untrue”.

Tomorrow I will celebrate, my upper floor people are leaving. Tenants from hell. They are in the 30s, out of university. Not sure their nationality. They are caucasian but not English speaking. They will start a full blast, hard rock band, on speakers around 10 pm, and will last for 2- 3 am. Called security on them at least 7-8 times at 1 am or 2 am. They will do full workout (jogging, jumping jack, mountain climbing) when I am on call. One will start jumping after 11.30 am and others will 2 pm for 15-20 mins. Then they walk and walk and slam floors the whole day. When someone will come to visit me, if they are at home, they will make it impossible for anyone to sit. Finally, apartment management asked them to leave.
Let’s just hope they don’t do anything crazy before they leave.
Son had to evict tenants in his rental home and they came back, broke in, and flooded the place.
Never got charged cuz it couldn’t be proven it was them but son knows it was.
What a nightmare. I suspect you’re going to be up all night....they’ll make sure they’re last night is a noisy one. I think I’d head to a nice hotel for the night, just in case.
They’re? I can’t believe I did that lol. Their.
Y'all be careful.. I've seen 4 accounts in the last 2 days with the EXACT same wording saying "been a Democrat my whole life. A few months ago I joined BLM and it opened my eyes...blah blah blah Im now a patriot follow me". Mark my words, they're all FAKE. Alot of you follow them— Ash (@AshLaRae) August 25, 2020
