FBI sabotage or Miles Guo boobytrap trigger to destroy evidence? (Or unsuspicious electrical fire, as initially reportedly?)

Fire destroyed much of Miles Guo's luxury apt. Fire started while FBI was still inside, hours after Guo had been arrested and removed.

Article:

"FBI agents were still inside Guo's 15-room, $32 million Manhattan apartment at the time the fire broke out, multiple law enforcement sources told ABC News. That's about six hours after he was arrested.

"The agents were forced to evacuate and reported the fire to police.

"At this point, neither FDNY nor the FBI knows whether the fire was linked to the arrest. Both offices declined to comment.

"After burning for two hours, the fire was under control by 1:45 p.m. There were no reports of injuries but sources say there was significant damage to Wengui's* apartment."

Moar on Guo aliases and rumors that fire in FBI's presence in his luxury unit was purposeful - to destroy evidence

"Guo, 52, whose real name is Ho Wan Kwok, has at least five aliases: Miles Guo, Miles Kwok, Guo Wengui, Brother Seven, and The Principal."

"Guo said little during the proceeding but was seen smiling widely and bowing to people seated in the courtroom gallery, whose relation to him was unclear."

"A woman who identified herself on social media as Guo’s daughter conveyed a message from him that said in part: 'Please rest assured I am fine and very safe.'"

"The billionaire businessman fled China in 2015, reportedly because he feared arrest on corruption charges."

"His now-seized yacht 'Lady May' made headlines in 2020 when right-wing strategist and Trump adviser Bannon was arrested onboard off the coast of Connecticut."

"In December, Mother Jones reported that Guo conspired with Bannon and former New York City mayor and Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani to disseminate content recovered from Hunter Biden’s laptop."

In addition to immediate suspicion on the part of some readers, here is the Miles Guo-set-booby-trap speculation from onsite:

“Word is that he set it. I don’t know,” speculated the worker. “Two things correlate, two incidents; he got arrested, before that, maybe he found out someone was coming and set up some sabotage? Who knows[?]"

“The FBI is upstairs. Everybody’s up there. I should have called out sick.”
