Over a seven-week trial, he was accused of deceiving thousands of people who put money into bogus investments and using the money to preserve a luxurious lifestyle. He was convicted of nine of 12 criminal counts, including racketeering conspiracy. Guo’s lawyers said prosecutors hadn’t proven he’d cheated anyone.
