SINGAPORE: The man behind a network of 95 accounts that the authorities have ordered to be blocked in Singapore under the Foreign Interference (Countermeasures) Act, or Fica, was once a property mogul.
Guo Wengui (pic), who also goes by Miles Guo, Ho Wan Kwok and various other names, left China in 2014 and fled to the United States, where he gained a following as a Chinese government critic. On Wednesday July 17, he was convicted of defrauding his online followers of US$1 billion (S$1.34 billion).
