Creditors Look to Probe Exiled Chinese Businessman's Financial Stake in Gettr

By Akiko Matsuda

Creditors of bankrupt Chinese businessman Guo Wengui want to probe the relationship between Mr. Guo and Gettr USA, a social media platform led by former Trump advisor Jason Miller.

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors on Monday filed a request for examination with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Bridgeport, Conn., asking Judge Julie Manning to issue a subpoena to Gettr to produce documents and to answer questions in court.

Creditors said in their filing that an investigation into Mr. Guo's potential financial stake in the social media company is a logical step because his involvement in Gettr's business has been reported by multiple media outlets.

Mr. Guo sought a chapter 11 protection in February, facing a $134 million fine from a New York court for keeping a super yacht out of reach from his creditors.
