Kinesisk miljardär, i självvald exil, Guo Wengui får 30 års fängelse i USA för bedrägeri | NTD NYHETER
NEW YORK— En kinesisk miljardär och affärsmagnat, i självvald exil, som en gång ansågs vara bland Kinas rikaste män dömdes på måndagen till 30 års fängelse i USA för ett massivt ekonomiskt bedrägeri som en federal domare sade kostade över 1 000 människor världen över hundratals miljoner dollar.
Guo Wengui, som flydde från Kina för ett decennium sedan och återuppfann sig själv som en USA-baserad kritiker av kommunistpartiet, dömdes i en rättssal på Manhattan, fullpackad med sina anhängare, av domaren Analisa Torres. Hon sa att han "utnyttjade dem som försökte införa demokrati i Kina" och tog deras pengar så att han kunde leva överdådigt.

A Chinese billionaire and longtime critic of the Chinese regime is heading to prison
after being convicted in a massive fraud case. Guo Wengui, also known as Miles Guo,
was sentenced Monday to 30 years in a U.S. prison for defrauding investors out of hundreds of
millions of dollars. Prosecutors say Miles used his companies and online platforms to convince
thousands of people to invest in fake deals between 2018 and 2023. They say the money
funded a luxury lifestyle, including mansions, yachts and expensive cars. In court, the judge
said Miles took advantage of people who believed they were supporting efforts to challenge the
Chinese Communist Party. She said victims lost their life savings and suffered financial and
emotional damage from the scheme. Miles briefly addressed the case, saying he came to the U.S.
to oppose the Chinese Communist Party. His attorneys argued he was targeted because of
calling the case part of a broader campaign against him. On top of the 30-year sentence,
the judge ordered Miles to pay $889 million in restitution to victims.
