SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 21 – After a circus-like civil case involving Guo Wengui in SDNY, which Inner City Press closely covered, here, March 15, 2023 saw the unsealing of a criminal indictment.
Not mentioned was another, related arrest on March 15, of Guo's chief of staff Yanping Wang, aka Yvette Wang. Inner City Press live tweeted her presentment when the prosecutors offered release on $5 million bond, but only with two co-signers they approve.
On March 22, Inner City Press was again the only media in the SDNY Magistrates Court when Yvette Wang and her two lawyers showed up, complaining that a proposed suretor with a $2.5 million property was rejected. Afterward Inner City Press asked Wang's lawyer Alex Lipman to confirm it is or was Steve Bannon. He said, "We're not going to answer." Inner City Press' vlog, and live tweeted thread here.

On Sunday April 2 the prosecutors provided an update, full letter on Patreon here.
On April 21, the date after District Judge Analisa Torres denied bail for Miles Guo Wengui, Magistrate Judge Robert W. Lehrburger followed suit and denied bail for Yvette Wang, beginning, "This matter comes before the Court on the motion of Defendant Yanping “Yvette” Wang (“Defendant” or “Wang”) for an order directing that she has complied with the conditions previously imposed to obtain pre-trial release or, alternatively, modifying those conditions. In opposition, the Government asks that Wang be detained because she has not complied with the conditions of release, lied about assets that she either owns or controls, and poses a serious risk of flight. For the reasons that follow, the Court finds that Wang poses a serious risk of flight, that no conditions can reasonably assure her attendance at future proceedings in this case, and that Wang should continue to be detained."
