Chinese tycoon Guo Wengui receives 30-year US jail sentence

Chinese businessman Guo Wengui has been sentenced to 30 years in a United States prison after being convicted of orchestrating a billion-dollar fraud scheme. The former property tycoon, once believed to be one of China's richest individuals, fled to the US in 2017. Following his arrival, Guo reinvented himself as a vocal critic of the Chinese Communist Party and amassed a loyal online following. However, he was later found guilty by a US court on charges of racketeering, fraud, and money laundering related to the extensive financial scam he operated.
