Here in SDNY Magistrates Court, Inner City Press has been lone media since Guo / Kwok is to be presented upstairs. Now his co-defendant, IDed as Yangping Wang is being separately presented here. Scooplet... Inner City Press will live tweet both, first thread below
Yes, it's Yangping Wang - with a separate docket number. Flip?
"Yvette Wang" has Jen Shah's lawyer, Priya Choudhury- who was just negotiating with the 3 AUSAs here.
She was arrested early this morning.
She's charged with conspiracy to commit wire and securities fraud, G-TV.
Note: Yangping Wang aka Yvette Wang has been quoted about Guo's Sherry-Netherland penthouse & is described as Guo's assistant.
Inner City Press view: They want to flip her
AUSA: We agree to bond of $5 million, secured by $1 million in cash or real property. We have made consular notification. [She is a citizen of China]
AUSA: She is charged with a $100 million wire transfer. She is a risk of flight. Her apartment was purchased in the name of an LLC
AUSA: She and Guo have worldwide supporters, the Himalaya Farm Alliance. In her apartment this morning we found $138,000 cash in a safe, and 12 iPhones
AUSA: She had numerous Sim cards and a large Hermes bag. [Inside SDNY joke: was it a #MetaBirkin NFT by MAson Rothschild?]
Choudhury: She is a political refugee.
Choudhury agrees with AUSA, Wang is / was Guo Wenghui's chief of staff. She left China in April 2015 and has not gone back. GPS is enough.
Choudhury: Home confinement is not necessary. 10 days to meet conditions, to find suretors. Her apartment is over $1 million, with no mortgage.
AUSA: One of her entities is in the BVI. She recently did business in Dubai in the UAE [shades of Ruja Ignatova of OneCoin]. She could cut the GPS bracelet
AUSA: The two co-signers she proposed we allege are co-conspirators.
Choudhury: She has $138,000 in casj because her accounts get closed in banks like Santander and Bank of America.
Judge Parker: She will detained until $5 million bond co-signed by two approved by the government.
[So, not released today]
She must disclose all assets, including accounts and any crypto-currency

Judge Katharine H. Parker: You have the right to be represented by an attorney. If you cannot afford one, I will appoint one to represent you. You have been arrested on an indictment. I want to summarize the charges in a moment. But there is no financial affidavit
Federal Defender: His retained counsel is out of the city, I am appearing only for today.
Judge Parker: OK, the indictment charges you Mr. Kwok with a conspiracy to commit wire fraud, bank fraud, securities fraud and money laundering from 2018 to March 2023
