- 郭文贵有一个全球追随者军团，一直以他的名义开展骚扰活动。他曾是一个亿万富翁的北京内部人士，后来成为一个在逃的中国共产党的批评者。他在自己的曼哈顿顶楼被捕，被指控诈骗数千名投资者超过10亿美元。
- 郭文贵的律师斯蒂芬-库克拒绝发表评论。美中关系中心主任奥维尔-谢尔(Orville Schell)将郭文贵描述为一个可以玩弄任何系统的欺诈者。他有一种敬畏感、成功感和无敌感，拥有游艇和其他财富的象征。
- 郭文贵是一位富有的中国亿万富翁，他住在一个庞大的湖边院落里，价值高达2.3亿美元。他拥有一个价值10亿美元的办公室、零售店、酒店和住宅区，并与中国权力机构的上层人士有联系。他与高级情报官员马建关系密切。
- 在马建的帮助下，郭文贵获得了一家证券公司的多数控制权。他以与外国政要的关系和与美国前国务卿亨利-基辛格和乔治-舒尔茨以及朝鲜领导人金正恩的照片而闻名。他还声称自己是政府与达赖喇嘛的中间人。
- 到2015年初，中国的反腐运动使马建陷入困境，郭文贵在被逮捕前持旅游签证逃到了美国。
- 2015年，由于风水师的建议，郭文贵在纽约沉默了，但在2017年，他公开了对其克星王岐山的指控。

- 郭文贵是一名中国商人，他正在建立一支追随者大军，并对认为的敌人进行抨击。在北京，他获得了一盘副市长有外遇的录像带，以打倒他的反对派。在美国，他用诉讼、社交媒体攻击来回应批评，并派支持者到目标的家中和工作场所。
- 郭文贵对中国的持不同政见者特别严厉，例如滕彪，他是一名法律学者和人权活动家，曾在中国被监禁，后来逃亡。滕彪是郭文贵的早期批评者，在看了他20分钟后，发现他是个 “骗子”。郭文贵的支持者包围了滕先生在新泽西的家，对他学龄期的女儿破口大骂。这导致人们猜测，郭文贵在某种程度上与中国政府合作。
- 起初，美国的一些中国活动家对郭文贵的信息很感兴趣，但后来对他的反中国共产党的资格产生了怀疑。曼哈顿的一位联邦法官无法决定郭文贵是持不同政见者还是双重间谍。他对特朗普总统的强烈支持就不那么含糊了。郭文贵支持窃取选举的谎言，资助了对拜登在乔治亚州的选举胜利的法庭挑战，并资助了2021年成立的社交媒体网络Gettr。

- 最近几个月，郭文贵留起了头发，留起了盐和胡椒的胡须，据说他在布鲁克林的审前拘留中心打篮球时兴致勃勃。
- Luc Despins was appointed by a bankruptcy court to locate the assets of Guo Wengui, a Chinese property mogul and political provocateur. He faced protests outside his home, office lobby, and the names and employers of his daughters were posted online. He testified in court that partners of his firm had been chased and screamed at in the lobby.
- Guo has a global legion of followers that have been carrying out harassment campaigns in his name. He was a billionaire Beijing insider and then became a fugitive critic of the Chinese Communist Party. He was arrested in his Manhattan penthouse and charged with defrauding thousands of investors of over $1 billion.
- Guo’s lawyer, Stephen Cook, declined to comment. Orville Schell, director of the Center on U.S.-China Relations, described Guo as a grifter who could play any system. He had a sense of awe, success and invincibility, with yachts and other symbols of wealth.
- Mr. Guo was a wealthy Chinese billionaire who lived in a sprawling lakeside courtyard compound valued at up to $230 million. He owned a $1 billion office, retail, hotel, and residential complex and had links to the upper ranks of China’s power structure. He was close to Ma Jian, a senior intelligence official.
- Mr. Guo obtained majority control of a securities business with Ma Jian’s help. He was known for his connections to foreign dignitaries and his pictures with the former U.S. secretaries of state Henry A. Kissinger and George P. Shultz, as well as the North Korea leader Kim Jong-un. He also claimed to be an intermediary for the government with the Dalai Lama.
- By early 2015, an anticorruption campaign in China had ensnared Ma Jian and Mr. Guo fled to the United States on a tourist visa before he could be arrested.
- Mr. Guo went silent in New York in 2015 due to his feng shui master’s advice, but in 2017 he went public with allegations against his nemesis Wang Qishan.
- He moved into a $68 million residence with a recommendation from former Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain.
- He made connections with the powerful in America, including becoming a member of Mar-a-Lago and booking rooms at the Trump International Hotel.
- He was supported by the Chinese diaspora, but China’s government sought to have him deported.
- He applied for political asylum in 2017 and got closer to Trump circles, gaining support from Trump allies in exchange for money.
- He formed GTV Media Group, G-Clubs, and cryptocurrencies, with Stephen K. Bannon’s “War Room” podcast airing on GTV.
- He and Bannon promoted vaccine skepticism and theories about Covid’s origin.
- They announced the New Federal State of China in June 2020, but Bannon was arrested for fraud and pardoned by Trump before trial.
- Mr. Guo was a Chinese businessman who was building an army of followers and lashing out at perceived enemies. In Beijing, he obtained a videotape of a vice mayor having an affair to take down his opposition. In the US, he responded to criticism with lawsuits, social media attacks, and sent supporters to targets’ homes and workplaces.
- Mr. Guo was especially harsh towards Chinese dissidents, such as Teng Biao, a legal scholar and human rights activist who was imprisoned in China and later fled. Mr. Teng was an early critic of Mr. Guo and after watching him for 20 minutes, realized he was a “swindler.” Mr. Guo’s supporters surrounded Mr. Teng’s home in New Jersey, cursing at his school-age daughters. This led to speculation that Guo was somehow working in concert with the Chinese government.
- At first, some Chinese activists in the US were taken with Mr. Guo’s message, but later developed suspicions about his anti-Chinese Communist Party credentials. A Manhattan federal judge was unable to decide if Mr. Guo was a dissident or double agent. Far less ambiguous was his strident support for President Trump. Mr. Guo endorsed the stolen election lie, funded a court challenge to Biden’s election victory in Georgia, and funded Gettr, the social media network set up in 2021.
- The S.E.C. filed civil charges against three companies tied to Mr. Guo in September 2020 for conducting unlawful securities offerings for his media company, which had attracted more than 5,000 investors. The companies settled for more than $539 million without admitting or denying the allegations. Government prosecutors also accused Mr. Guo of defrauding thousands of investors, including a Seattle-based woman named Chen who had invested $125,000 in GTV believing the money would go to help Hong Kong students escape.
- In 2017, a Hong Kong-based hedge fund sued Mr. Guo for a $30 million debt that had ballooned with interest. A court ordered Mr. Guo to pay $134 million, but he filed for bankruptcy and his followers allegedly harassed the bankruptcy lawyer, Mr. Despins, and his family.
- In recent months, Mr. Guo has grown his hair and a salt-and-pepper beard and is reportedly in high spirits at the pretrial detention center in Brooklyn playing basketball.
