The Daily Beast reports:
Donald Trump Jr. and ex-White House trade adviser Peter Navarro appear on a list of potential defendants in a court filing Wednesday related to the sprawling bankruptcy case of a right-wing Chinese businessman accused of bilking anti-communist dissidents.
The court-appointed trustee overseeing the estate of Guo Wengui—also known as Ho Wan Kwok, Miles Guo, and Miles Kwok—identified the former first son and the conspiracy-spouting fringe economist among a large number of individuals and entities they plan to serve with legal papers under a proposed court order.
Wengui, who declared bankruptcy in Feb. 2022 after getting stuck with $134 million in fines related to his yacht, has long played sugar daddy to ex-White House chief strategist Steve Bannon and bankrolled the ill-starred conservative Twitter alternative Gettr.
Read the full article. Being named in the bankruptcy filing doesn’t necessarily mean wrongdoing, just that the named parties may have information relevant to the proceedings. Separate from his bankruptcy case, Wengui is currently jailed while awaiting trial for an alleged $1 billion investor fraud scheme.
The former president’s son as well as his trade advisor are listed among the potential defendants in accused con man Guo Wengui’s bankruptcy filings.https://t.co/JFqLfdQGlC
