  • He was convicted in 2024 on racketeering, fraud, and money laundering charges totaling over $1 billion in losses.
  • Guo was ordered to forfeit nearly $900 million, a New Jersey mansion, and luxury cars including a Rolls Royce and Bugatti.
  • He had close ties to former Trump strategist Steve Bannon, who was arrested on Guo's yacht in 2020.
