Billionaire Mar-a-Lago member accused of spying for the Chinese government in civil court filing

In a civil court filing, a Chinese billionaire and member of President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in West Palm Beach, Florida is accused of being a spy for the Chinese government. But Guo Wengui and his attorney have maintained that not only he is not a spy — he is an avowed and outspoken critic of the Beijing government.

Daniel Podhaskie, Wengui’s attorney, told WPEC Channel 12 (a CBS affiliate in West Palm Beach), “Claims that Mr. Guo is a Beijing-backed spy utterly lack credibility.”

The civil case in which Wengui is alleged to be a spy for the Chinese government is Eastern Profit Corporation Limited v. Strategic Vision U.S., which addresses a business deal he supposedly helped bring about.
