MANHATTAN (CN) — Guo Wengui, a self-exiled, MAGA-linked media mogul from China, was sentenced to 30 years in prison Monday after he was convicted of ripping off his supporters to the tune of $1 billion while espousing anti-communist views.
Guo, also known as Ho Wan Kwok and Miles Guo, stole at least $550 million from thousands of victims who invested in his companies, according to trial evidence — and did not appear to regret his actions, U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres said.
“Mr. Guo to this day denies responsibility and exhibits no remorse for the harm that he has caused to so many people,” the Barack Obama appointee said before handing down the sentence.
