Steve Bannon’s billionaire business partner was arrested. Here's why the GOP has reason to worry. (via The ReidOut Blog)
Guo, an exiled Chinese dissident living in Manhattan, is a prominent Trump supporter and friend to Steve Bannon. A 2021 Daily Beast report revealed that Guo was an original investor in Gettr, where he touts nearly 900,000 followers as of publication. Jason Miller, a longtime Trump adviser and former Gettr CEO, downplayed Guo’s role at the company at the time.
Guo’s indictment calls into question the extent of his influence over the conservative-friendly social network Gettr. As part of the Justice Department’s investigation, authorities seized a total of $634 million from 21 different bank accounts last September. Around $2.7 million of that money was held in a Gettr account, according to the indictment.
Questions abound, such as: Where else in the conservative media ecosystem could have gotten some of Guo’s money? Given his deep pockets, one has to wonder whether there are other beneficiaries. If so, who? And why?
