Chinese businessman Guo Wengui was arrested this week. He’s charged with orchestrating a conspiracy to defraud his online followers out of more than $1 billion. So who is he?

After making his billions in China, Guo reinvented himself in the US as an advocate for democracy. He claimed to be intent on taking down the authoritarian Chinese government. He collaborated with Steve Bannon and found a loyal fan base online. But beneath his bombastic persona lies a web of lies and an extensive money making scheme. Isobel / Vice News investigates.
