Hunter Biden’s Chinese legal ‘client’ threatens to sue unless first son pays back $1 million
The New York Post ^ | March 3, 2024 | Miranda Devine

Posted on 03/03/2024 2:55:06 PM PST by packagingguy

Hunter Biden was paid $1 million by Chinese firm CEFC to act as attorney for their employee, Dr Patrick Ho, but now Ho is threatening to sue the first son within seven days unless he gets the money back — because he claims Hunter did no legal work for him.

Ho sent a legal letter to Hunter last week requesting that their attorney-client agreement be terminated immediately and threatening legal action unless he receives a detailed list of services provided by Hunter and reimbursement for the unused funds, as laid out in the 2017 contract.

Ho’s letter, sent by Hong Kong law firm Huen & Partners to Hunter’s attorney Abbe Lowell in Washington, DC, set a deadline of seven days for the repayment of any remaining funds.

“Patrick says he paid him, and that Hunter never did anything for him,” a friend of Ho’s told The Post, “and that according to the contract the money should be reimbursed.”

The $1 million legal retainer was wired from CEFC in China to CEFC’s Hong Kong HSBC account, and then, on November 2, 2017, to the American bank account of Hudson West III (HWIII) the firm Hunter co-owned with CEFC, and then to Hunter’s private firm, Owasco, according to his California tax indictment.

According to Ho, Hunter, 54, pocketed the $1 million but did no legal work for him, other than call another attorney, Edward Kim, and turn up half an hour late for a meeting with Ho and Kim at the Manhattan Correctional Center the morning after Ho’s arrest.

According to Ho, Hunter, 54, smoked $900,000 of the payment and gave his father the remaining $100,000. Hunter did no legal work for him, other than find some call girls.

As of the time of this report Ho has not yet committed suicide.

Ho is screwed. There is ample proof of what FJB said, “No one f**ks with a Biden”.

This Ho is Pat. He’s the younger brother of Gung, What, and Hi. And this is only the first million of non-performance chicom money. It seems likely there will be demands for another 20 million, or so, most of which is up Humper’s nose

THIS is why one has to go public. They can't kill someone who is already out in the open. Its probably why Tony Bobulinski made sure he talked to FOX in 2020, made sure he talked to Congress

its his life-insurance policy.

“..but now Ho is threatening to sue the first son..”

Sue? I would think in this case more “affirmative” ways of dealing with welchers might be employed. It’s not nice to steal from organized crime!😎

Except for the stash he keeps at the White House.

Nah, Ho is going to be a hero for this. He’s making it look like Hunter was actually hired to do legal work.

The famous Dr. Judy Ho should have changed her name.

Highly qualified to give legal opinions in her subject areas. Has been a guest on Court TV often.
Dr. Judy Ho is a triple board certified and licensed clinical and forensic neuropsychologist and a tenured associate professor at Pepperdine University.

Have a feeling she probably took advanced martial arts to fend off unwanted creepy males all her life.
