  • Guo, who is also known by the name Miles Kwok, left China in 2014 during an anti-corruption crackdown that ensnared people close to him, including a top intelligence official.

    Chinese authorities accused Guo of rape, kidnapping, bribery and other crimes, but Guo said those allegations were false and designed to punish him for publicly revealing corruption as he criticized leading figures in the Communist party.

    He applied for political asylum in the US, moved to a luxury apartment overlooking Central Park and joined Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.

    Come on. It's too on the nose. I just have to assume that every allegation about this guy is true.

    • and joined Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.

      Nearly complete gusano run, one thing he missed is joining Falun Gong lol.
