Hunter Biden's Chinese legal 'client' threatens to sue unless first son pays back $1 million
*Snicker* An unexpected twist in this sprawling family saga…
[NYPOST] Hunter Biden was paid $1 million by Chinese firm CEFC to act as attorney for their employee, Dr Patrick Ho, but now Ho is threatening to sue the first son within seven days unless he gets the money back — because he claims Hunter did no legal work for him.
Ooooooooohhhhhhh…. But Hunter doesn’t have any money, so he’ll have to borrow it from the big guy…
Or his Sugar Daddy Attorney Remora Kevin Morris
Ho sent a legal letter to Hunter last week requesting that their attorney-client agreement be terminated immediately and threatening legal action unless he receives a detailed list of services provided by Hunter and reimbursement for the unused funds, as laid out in the 2017 contract.

Ho’s letter, sent by Hong Kong law firm Huen & Partners to Hunter’s attorney Abbe Lowell in Washington, DC, set a deadline of seven days for the repayment of any remaining funds.

"Patrick says he paid him, and that Hunter never did anything for him," a friend of Ho’s told The Post, "and that according to the contract the money should be reimbursed."

The $1 million legal retainer was wired from CEFC in China to CEFC’s Hong Kong HSBC account, and then, on November 2, 2017, to the American bank account of Hudson West III (HWIII) the firm Hunter co-owned with CEFC, and then to Hunter’s private firm, Owasco, according to his Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, tax indictment.

Ho was arrested in New York on November 18, 2017, as he got off a plane from Hong Kong.

The former Hong Kong Home Affairs secretary was convicted in 2019 for paying bribes to the presidents of Chad and Uganda. He was sentenced to three years’ jail before being deported to Hong Kong.

#2 Ho should have remembered that old saying about a fool and his money before he paid a crack head $1 million to act as his attorney.

#8 Yes, irb. At this point it seems pretty clear Biden will not be impeached so wait until Trump appoints an AG who will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law, an AG who will show Hunter the same consideration that Garland has shown the J6ers.
