wing after starting two nonprofits in 2018 that pushed his purported agenda of being critical of the Chinese Communist Party, prosecutors said.

But  Miles Guo did not lead a movement … he led a criminal enterprise, strengthened through violence, through threats, through fear,  prosecutor Ryan Finkel told the court Monday.

Guo also boasted political connections, including a friendship with former White House adviser Steve Bannon. Trump administration insiders told The Post last year that they feared Guo would use his connections to secure a pardon, but no such pardon has surfaced, at least to date.

Wearing a tan jail outfit and gesticulating wildly, Guo addressed the court with a rambling statement Monday afternoon after his sentencing was delayed for hours. The delay was caused by Guo claiming that he had suffered an illness, Finkel said in court.

Standing at the defense table, the convict claimed that he had  fainted  at the Metropolitan Detention Center early in the morning and saw a doctor after vomiting blood, before a  mysterious woman  arrived and transported him to the Manhattan courthouse.

Guo did not directly address the fraud charges he was convicted of in his speech and told the judge that he would appeal the jury's verdict.

The convicted scammer's fans had packed the courtroom to the gills in a show of support.

 We are all supporters here,  said 40-year-old Shawy Miles, who said he  escaped  from China in 2023 and moved to the Big Apple, where he delivers packages for Amazon.

 In China there are millions and millions who support Guo,  Miles told The Post.  He wanted to take down the Communist Party, that is why he is here. He is being set up. All the evidence was false. It's set up, it's a trap by the CCP! 

College professor Shu Pingfeng, 63, said he traveled all the way from Marseille, France, to support Guo.

 Miles is a hero! He is our hero. Our leader. He is trying to get freedom and democracy and rule of law for Chinese people in China,  he told The Post.

One supporter, after falsely telling Torres she was a  victim  of Guo, was briefly able to address the court - declaring that  We are here to witness America's funeral  - before Torres cut her off.

 You are making a political statement unrelated to his various political conduct,  the judge said.

As she was escorted out of the courtroom Monday, shouts and a smattering of applause could be heard from spectators.
