Is that when folks turned on her?

I remember people were hyping her up over some nonsense about a raid on the Vatican. A military raid on the Vatican that nobody it Italy noticed.

The Chinese Billionaire has always been suspect.

For, one he used multiple aliases. HO WAN KWOK, a/k/a “Miles Guo,” a/k/a “Miles Kwok,” a/k/a “Guo Wengui,” a/k/a “Brother Seven,” a/k/a “The Principal,” and KIN MING JE, a/k/a “William Je,”

For two, the Chinese dissident diaspora has always viewed him with suspicion. They suspected him of being propped up by the CCP while posing against the Chinese regime.

In court, he was accused of being a double agent and supporting Xi.

Guo's entities were headquartered in Hong Kong, in the Bank of China building which the CCP uses for espionage beyond the mainland - a strange choice for a supposed dissident.

The fraud case has revealed a FBI counterintelligence investigation as well.

I only just learned of the Chinese United Front strategy of outside influence operations. He is accused of being connected to that.

For three, have you ever seen his fashion ads? Raised a bunch of flags for me.

There's obviously a ton of lies and counterlies in any discussion of China, but the guy does not seem sincere to me.

Intel chief also removed.

Intelligence chief Nikolai Patrushev was dismissed from that position despite being widely seen as one of Putin’s closest, and most hawkish, confidants.

The prosecution will rest this week. Unless they bring Weissellberg in to testify.

Neither prosecutor or the defense want to call Weissellberg, but the judge has wondered why as he is one the few direct witnesses in this case.

Prosecutors are trying to explain his absence by pointing to his Trump Org severance agreement that still owes him $750,000 suggested he would take the 5th. Trump's lawyers don't want this entered into evidence

NJ is a high population state.

You can get 2 million votes there and still get blown out in an election.

You can have the equivalent of 3 states entire population vote for you and still lose in NJ.

What were Flynn's subpoenas for?

I think he was suing someone. So they might be from the person he is suing.

https://apnews.com/article/guo-wengui-chinese-businessman-fraud-0af88b60ac595ba582cf5388573ce0f7

The chief of staff of a Chinese businessman sought by the government of China pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges on Friday, weeks before her boss goes to trial in New York in a $1 billion fraud case.

Yvette Wang entered the plea in Manhattan federal court three weeks before she was to stand trial with Guo Wengui.

Guo has pleaded not guilty to defrauding hundreds of thousands of followers in the U.S. and around the world of over $1 billion.

At a sentencing scheduled for Sept. 10, Wang faces up to 10 years in prison. Without the plea, she could have faced life in prison if she was convicted

A friend of friend actually worked at this Chinese guy's company for like two months. He said it was super shady.

He was on the "Build me Chinese Twitter" project. Other people were working on Build me Chinese Google and Build me Chinese Youtube projects.

My friend reached out to me when his friend got a job interview. I said if he is out of work, he should work there but just keep looking for another job. The billionaire showed up every so often. And he said they would applaud when he spoke. He said it felt like a cult.
