Associate Of Miles Guo, Yvette Wang, Sentenced To 10 Years In Prison For Her Role In An Over $1 Billion Dollar Fraud Conspiracy

Daniel M. Gitner, Attorney for the United States, Acting under Authority Conferred by 28 U.S.C. § 515, announced today that YVETTE WANG, a/k/a “Yanping,” was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres to 10 years in prison for conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering in connection with her managerial role in a sprawling and complex scheme

Miles Guo¹, the #FTX connected man on whose yacht Steve Bannon was arrested a while back, made some interesting public statements about #Tether, #Binance, and the Chinese government before he firebombed his Park Ave. apartment on the way to being arrested for fraud.

I don't believe everything he says but I suspect he's correct about the #PRC getting Binance's user records.

Every reporter I spoke to who had reported on or planned to report on Guo said legitimately frightening things started to happen as they were collecting information. Getting followed, suspected phone hacking, etc.

The New Yorker did a profile on Guo's connections to Chinese intelligence a year or so before he was arrested that's worth reading: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/10/24/how-a-tycoon-linked-to-chinese-intelligence-became-a-darling-of-trump-republicans
