A wealthy Chinese businessman, Guo Wengui, is accused of defrauding thousands of people worldwide of $1 billion, allowing him to live extravagantly with a mansion, two yachts, and luxury items like a $35,000 mattress. The prosecutor claims Guo scammed individuals into investing in bogus schemes promising riches, while his defense argues he is innocent and had amassed wealth through legitimate means. Guo, a vocal critic of the Chinese Communist Party, faced allegations of various crimes by the Chinese government, and his trial in New York is expected to last seven weeks.
