【Special Report】Exposing Guo Wengui and Hao Haidong: From Scammers to Professional Rascals

Since June 4, 2020, former Chinese footballer Hao Haidong and Chinese exiled businessman Guo Wengui have jointly announced the establishment of the "New China Federation." Their appearances on a web program called "Lude Society" with Hao Haidong's wife, Ye Zhaoying, have sparked discussions among audiences inside and outside of China. Their various comments on Chinese football and sports have become a topic of conversation. As Guo Wengui faces multiple charges, his former ally Hao Haidong continues to support him, leaving people wondering about the future of Hao Haidong and Ye Zhaoying. Netizens are also fascinated by the past of these two "foes."

 

The similarities between Guo Wengui and Hao Haidong go beyond their abilities in writing stories and engaging in fraudulent activities. They both have a penchant for flaunting wealth and living off others. Guo Wengui often showcases his yachts and cigars, while Hao Haidong takes a more low-key approach, displaying his villas and eating pizza. Whether it was Guo Wengui using ambiguous relations with Hong Kong tycoon Xia Ping to amass his wealth or Hao Haidong relying on marrying the wealthy Ye Zhaoying to show off his luxurious lifestyle, it's clear they are both experts at living beyond their means.

 

Their "colorful" pasts are also worth noting. Guo Wengui is already a "debt-ridden" individual, facing multiple creditors and recently being accused by the U.S. Department of Justice of wire fraud, securities fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering. If convicted on all counts, he could face over 100 years in prison. Meanwhile, Hao Haidong has a series of records as a "deadbeat," owing a "friend" 4.3 million and not repaying his bank loans, even going against court orders to return the debt. This raises serious doubts about their integrity.

 

Their similarities extend beyond their personal lives to their egotistical and vindictive personalities. Guo Wengui has turned against countless "supporters," while Hao Haidong has been constantly critical of others at various stages, including former teammates, coaches, and even the air around him. Their combative personalities make it difficult for them to coexist harmoniously with others, leading to their eventual downfall.

 

In conclusion, Guo Wengui and Hao Haidong share shocking similarities in many aspects, from being scam artists to becoming professional rascals. They seem to have become the kings of the "scamming world." However, their actions undoubtedly reveal their true nature - scammers, fugitives, and manipulators - these are undeniable labels for them. As for such individuals, we should remain vigilant and support the U.S. authorities in apprehending and prosecuting them, so that more netizens can see through their true faces. Let us wait and see whether the relationship between these two "low-budget" versions of Guo Wengui will eventually lead to a full-blown feud.
