Unequal Before The Law: Madoff and Wolf of Wall Street Are Granted Bail While Guo Wengui Languishes In DOJ Gulag

The Eighth Amendment guarantees the right to reasonable bail, and New York’s 2019 “bail reform” law drastically lowered the standards of bail to the point where it regularly resulted in headline-making cases of violent criminals being let out without bail. In recent years, those let out on bail under the new law in just NYC included a man charged with shoving a NYPD officer onto subway tracks, a man arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after punching a man, and a man who terrorized a McDonald’s patrons with an ax – among thousands of others.
But only with Guo, who is falsely accused of a non-violent white collar crime, is there supposedly a need for bail.
Other high-profile fraudsters were granted bail when they were still “accused fraudsters.” As Guo’s lawyers outline in arguing for him to be granted bail:
Bernie Madoff, who ran a $50 billion ponzi scheme, the largest in the history of the world, was released on a $10 million personal recognizance bond. Among those Madoff stole millions from included holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel.
Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced founder of FTX cryptocurrency exchange accused of up to $8 billion in fraud losses was released on a $250 million personal recognizance bond with two (initially) anonymous
Elizabeth Holmes, who ran the fraudulent blood testing firm “Theranos,” which misdiagnosed customers with false HIV results, miscarriages, and cancer diagnoses. She also defrauded investors out of $700 million, and was released on a $500,000 bond that was initially unsecured.
Jeffrey Skilling: Presided over the Enron scandal, which resulted in the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history at the time, resulting in losses of $60 billion. He was released on a $5 million secured bond.
Jordan Belfort: Known better as the “Wolf of Wall Street,” Belfort caused losses over $200 million, and was released on a $10 million unsecured bond.
Guo Wengui (also known as Miles Guo and Ho Wan Kwok) is in jail with no bond in New York City. Violent criminals and other white crime criminals have gotten bail. China put a Interpol notice on him.
