Supplemental § 853(n) Petition · Hamilton Opportunity Fund · Silvergate Account Funds

This 17-page document, dated October 22, 2025, is a supplemental third-party petition by Hamilton Opportunity Fund SPC asserting its interest in specific funds seized from Account Number 5090042770 at Silvergate Bank in United States v. Miles Guo, S3 23 Cr. 118 (AT).

Procedural Posture

The petition is filed under 21 U.S.C. § 853(n) and Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 32.2(c) to amend the Preliminary Order of Forfeiture entered against Defendant Miles Guo on August 11, 2025 (case-doc-720). It supplements the petitioner's prior filing of April 7, 2025 (ECF No. 674) — the corresponding petition in the Yvette Wang forfeiture proceeding.

Two Forfeiture Tracks

The petition explains the unique forfeiture posture of the matter:

• Defendant Wang's criminal case concluded first when she pled guilty on May 3, 2024, leading to the Consent Preliminary Order of Forfeiture entered against her on January 7, 2025 (ECF No. 488);
• Defendant Guo's criminal case proceeded separately and culminated in the August 11, 2025 Preliminary Order of Forfeiture (case-doc-720) — covering substantially overlapping property.

The petitioner is therefore required to file in both proceedings to preserve its claims.

Property at Issue

The petitioner's claim focuses on specific funds traceable to Hamilton Opportunity Fund SPC that were on deposit in Silvergate Account No. 5090042770. The petition argues those funds are the Petitioner's own lawfully invested money, with no nexus to the criminal conduct underlying either Defendant Wang's or Defendant Guo's case.
