Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui arrested
Guo Wengui was planning to auction “unvaccinated sperm” on Gettr, a web platform full of misinformation. The sale is being billed by vaccine skeptics as an opportunity to get the “next Bitcoin.” The pitch on the platform highlights a high demand for uninoculated men’s sperm. Hence, it is aiming to fetch funds from the widely debunked conspiracy theory of mass infertility from the vaccination.
The Chinese tycoon exiled in the United States was captured for alleged fraud. Guo Wengui placed a sales pitch with the auction to take place in June on Gettr. “Sperm and eggs from our fellow fighters will be auctioned on our Gettr platform between June 1 and June 6,” stated Guo in a live stream.
More on the controversial sales pitch:
Guo Wengui is one of the wanted people in China and is said to have close ties with Steven Bannon, Trump’s former political advisor. Additionally, the tycoon stated that he stores about 6,000 eggs and has a “few million sperm” ready from unvaccinated people. “We will auction off the best sperm and eggs, including of course my own sperm,” stated Guo, He added that trading in digital currency is accepted and the sale is open to people of all races and ethnicities.
However, following the billionaire’s arrest, it is unclear if the auction will go ahead. He is currently facing federal charges for defrauding thousands of followers. The sale is also generating a buzz on Gettr with his supporters calling him a “new era for humanity.” “Giving unvaccinated sperms or eggs not only is an honorable way to gain wealth but also will save the future of humanity,” stated a post on Gettr endorsing him.
