Document 862 in United States v. Ho Wan Kwok (Miles Guo), No. 1:23-cr-00118 (AT) (S.D.N.Y.), filed July 2, 2026. This is Miles Guo's Notice of Appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
Appeal Filed
Defendant Ho Wan Kwok (Miles Guo), through counsel, filed this notice appealing the July 2, 2026 final judgment (Doc 860), which sentenced him to 30 years' imprisonment and imposed an $889 million forfeiture judgment upon his conviction on nine counts.
Appellate Court
The appeal is directed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (New York), which has jurisdiction over appeals from the Southern District of New York.
Significance
- This Notice of Appeal initiates the appellate process; it does not stay the sentence unless a separate motion for bail pending appeal is granted.
- The filing is consistent with statements made by Guo and his supporters that they intend to contest the conviction and sentence.
- The Second Circuit appeal will likely address issues including the sufficiency of evidence, jury instructions, forfeiture calculations, and sentencing.
- Guo had previously declared in a phone call that he intended to appeal through 2028 and potentially pursue a presidential pardon.
