In 2018, Hunter Biden was recorded talking about a guy from China calling him “the f**king spies chief of China”.
It’s Dr. Patrick Ho. However, it is not known exactly what role he played in China.
Ho claims that CEFC paid Hunter Biden one million dollars in 2017 to be his lawyer.
Ho, according to the latest report, has sent Hunter a letter threatening legal action if he does not return the money, as he claims he did not receive any legal work in exchange for the money.
Ho sent Hunter a letter last week asking for their attorney-client relationship to be terminated as soon as possible. He also threatened legal action until he received a list of the services Hunter provided and reimbursement for any unused funds.
Ho’s letter was sent from the Hong Kong law firm Huen & Partners in Washington DC to Hunter’s lawyer Abbe Lowell. It set a seven-day deadline for Hunter’s attorney Abbe’s repayment of the remaining funds.
A friend of Ho told The Post that “Patrick claims he paid Hunter and that Hunter did not do anything for him”, adding that the contract stipulated that the money be reimbursed.
It seems that the Bidens got rich, but there was no real business or product created.
On Nov. 2, 2017, money was transferred from CEFC’s Hong Kong HSBC bank account to Hudson West III (HWIII), a firm Hunter owned with CEFC. Hunter’s Owasco, a private company owned by Hunter, received the money after it was wired from CEFC in China to the Hong Kong HSBC account.
Ho was then arrested on Nov. 18, 2017.
Ho claims that Hunter, 54 years old, took the $1 million, but did not do any legal work. He only called another attorney, Edward Kim, and showed up 30 minutes late to a meeting at the Manhattan Correctional Center, the morning following Ho’s arrest.
Ho told his friends that Hunter never visited him once while he was in prison.
Hunter did not appear as the attorney on record in this case.
Ho was reportedly “baffled”, when Hunter said during the failed plea hearing of last year, that Ho had paid him for legal work.
The letter of engagement was signed by an attorney in September 2017 and stated:
If at the end of this agreement the total amount of attorney fees and costs is lower than the retainer amount, the remaining sum will be reimbursed back to the client.
Ho’s request for a refund is based on this basis.
IRS investigator Joseph Ziegler told the House Ways and Means Committee in 2013 that “this $1,000,000 payment was not made for legal fees and had been misrepresented by Delaware U.S. Attorney’s Office’s statement of facts and its ultimate purpose is still under investigation by DOJ.”
If they still have the contract, it could be that Hunter gets a bad deal. Wouldn’t that just be karma?
Hunter received $7.2 million in addition to this money from CEFC from March 2017 through March 2018. He also received an $80,000 diamond, which was given by CEFC Chairman Ye Jianming. Jim Biden allegedly threw the diamond in the garbage after he received it from Hunter. You always throw away $80,000 diamonds, right? Hunter received another diamond from CEFC.
In 2022 we reported that Joe Biden had left a voicemail for Hunter regarding a NY Times Article from December 2018 about Hunter’s relationship to CEFC and Ho. Joe Biden said that he believed Hunter was “clear”, after the NY Times article.

Hunter may not be quite “clear” yet.
