Guo was arrested in March 2023 on charges of orchestrating a fraud scheme involving more than $1 billion in cryptocurrencies. On Tuesday, he was found guilty on nine of 12 counts, primarily for soliciting investments from various entities through false statements and representations to hundreds of thousands of online followers.

“Guo’s thousands of online followers were victimized to live a life of excess,” prosecutors said. “Miles Guo, an exiled Chinese businessman and alleged billionaire, shamelessly executed several interconnected fraudulent schemes, all designed to rip off his loyal followers’ hard-earned money so he could live out his days in a 50,000-square-foot mansion, driving a million-dollar Lamborghini or lounging on a $37 million yacht.”

After Guo’s arrest in 2023, the DOJ said At the time, Guo had obtained over $262 million in victim funds through Himalaya Exchange (a cryptocurrency ecosystem). The DOJ added that it had seized approximately $634 million from 21 other bank accounts related to the alleged fraud.

ReportedGuo, who claimed to have been expelled from China in 2014, is known for his criticism of China’s ruling Communist Party, which has earned him significant support among the overseas Chinese community.
