Defense Letter · Transmission of All 1,259 Supporter Statements

This two-page letter, dated April 29, 2026 from Melinda Sarafa of Sarafa Zellan PLLC on behalf of Miles Guo, was submitted to United States District Judge Analisa Torres by ECF filing, email, and hand delivery in United States v. Ho Wan Kwok, et al., 23-CR-118 (AT).

Background

The letter recites the procedural sequence:

On April 17, 2026, defense counsel filed a letter (ECF No. 835) accompanying a Supporter Supplement containing 100 representative statements received from supporters of Mr. Guo;
Following the filing, the government requested production of all 1,254 supporter statements referenced in that letter;
The defense prepared all 1,254 statements, plus additional statements received after April 17, 2026, for production, including redaction of sensitive information.

The defense states that while it did not originally intend to burden the Court with more than 1,200 supporter statements, it believes the Court should have an equal opportunity to review the materials given the government's request.

Materials Transmitted

The filing transmits to both the Court and the government, via encrypted USB flash drive (with password to follow separately), all statements received to date.

Adjustments to the Master List

During preparation:

Two statements (numbered 186 and 557 on the original Supporter Supplement index) were removed because the original individuals were already represented elsewhere on the list. The original numbering was left intact;
Seven additional statements (numbered 1255 through 1261) were received after April 17 and included;
Where multiple individuals signed onto the same letter, the same letter was included for each individual.

The total number of unique individuals represented is 1,259.

Reported Figures from the Statement Corpus

The letter reports the following figures the defense draws from the 1,259-statement corpus:

1,155 declarants expressly stated that they had invested in one or more G-Series entities;
1,198 declarants expressly disclaimed having been victimized by Mr. Guo;
Several investors disclosed their total G-Series investment amounts; the total disclosed from this disclosing group amounts to $69,430,047;
99 declarants reported having been interrogated by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) authorities in connection with Mr. Guo.

Closing

The letter does not include explicit legal argument; it serves as the transmittal of the full supporter-statement record for the Court's review.
