Guo Wengui, a former Chinese property mogul turned US-based Communist Party critic, received a 30-year prison sentence for orchestrating a billion-dollar scam.

Guo said he came to the U.S. to destroy the Chinese Communist Party. But the judge said he instead diverted investor money to live lavishly.
