 Jurors have found an exiled Chinese businessman guilty of fraud and racketeering. Gu Wenzhou has been an outspoken critic of Beijing's communist government and is alleged to have stolen hundreds of millions of dollars from online followers. He was arrested in New York in 2023. Federal prosecutors in Manhattan say he raised more than a billion dollars by guaranteeing followers on social media they would not lose money if they joined him in a series of investment and cryptocurrency schemes.
