The mailing address for the Trustee, Genever Holdings LLC, and the Genever Holdings Corporation is Paul Hastings LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166 c/o Luc A. Despins, as Trustee for the Estate of Ho Wan Kwok (solely for purposes of notices and communications).\n\n(\"Genever (BVI)\"), and Genever Holdings LLC (\"Genever (US)\" and, together with the Trustee, and Genever (BVI), the \"Movants\"), by and through their undersigned counsel, pursuant to Rule 9006(c)(1) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the \"Bankruptcy Rules\"), hereby submit this reply (the \"Reply\") in further support of the *Motion, Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9006(c)(1), to Expedite Hearing on Emergency Motion of Chapter 11 Trustee and Genever Debtors for Entry of Order (A) Compelling Individual Debtor to Comply with Preliminary Injunction with Respect to Claims Process, (B) Quashing Individual Debtors' Objections to Claims, and (C) Barring Individual Debtor from Filing Further Objections to Claims, Absent Leave of Court* (the \"Motion to Expedite\")<sup>2</sup> and in response to the objection filed by the Individual Debtor [Main Case Docket No. 1351] (the \"Objection\"). In further support of the Motion to Expedite, the Movants respectfully state as follows:\n\n### **REPLY**\n\n1. Movants respectfully submit that the hearing on the Motion to Compel should be scheduled as soon as possible and should not be delayed until January 31, 2023 (or some later date), as requested by the Individual Debtor in his Objection. As the Court is aware, the claims filing process is already underway and is scheduled to conclude by the February 17, 2023 general bar date, which is four weeks from today. Thus, there is already very little time to address the serious issues raised in the Motion to Compel regarding the Individual Debtor's interference with the integrity of the claims process. Deferring these issues for another two weeks is not a viable option, as it would leave little to no time to remedy these issues prior to the general bar date. Moreover, delay would expose these estates and their creditors to the very real risk that the\n\n<sup>2</sup> Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Motion to Expedite have the meanings set forth in the Motion to Expedite.\n\nIndividual Debtor (and others in active concert or participation with the Individual Debtor) will continue their claims-related harassment campaign, further worsening the situation. Finally, the issues involved here are neither novel nor complex, and therefore the Individual Debtor should not be prejudiced by the relatively short objection deadline.\n\n2. For these reasons, Movants reiterate their request that the Court schedule a hearing with respect to the Motion to Compel for **Tuesday, January 24, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. (ET)**, or as soon as possible thereafter as the Court may be available.\n\n[*Remainder of page intentionally left blank.*]\n\nWHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, Movants requests that the Court enter an order\n\ngranting the relief requested in the Motion to Expedite and such other relief as is just and proper.\n\nDated: January 20, 2023 New Haven, Connecticut\n\n Douglas S.

Despins, as Trustee for the Estate of Ho Wan Kwok（仅用于接收通知和联络之目的）。\n\n答复\n\n1. 动议人谨认为，关于强令动议的听证会应尽快排期，而不应按个人债务人在其异议中所请求的那样推迟至2023年1月31日（或更晚的日期）。诚如法院所知，债权申报程序已在进行中，并定于2023年2月17日这一普遍截止日结束，距离今日仅有四周时间。因此，处理强令动议中提出的关于个人债务人干扰债权程序公正性的严重问题，时间本已非常紧迫。将这些问题再推迟两周绝非可行之选，因为这会导致在普遍截止日之前几乎没有时间来补救这些问题。此外，拖延将使这些破产财产及其债权人面临非常现实的风险，即个人债务人（以及与个人债务人积极串通或参与其中的其他人）将继续其与债权相关的骚扰活动，使局势进一步恶化。最后，此处涉及的问题既不新颖也不复杂，因此个人债务人不会因相对较短的异议期限而受到不当损害。\n\n2 本加快审理动议中使用但未另行定义的首字母大写术语，具有加快审理动议中所规定的含义。\n\n2. 基於上述理由，动议人重申其请求，恳请法院将关于强令动议的听证会安排在2023年1月24日星期二美国东部时间下午2:00，或在法院可行的其后最早时间举行。\n\n[本页其余部分有意留白。]\n\n综上所述，基於前述理由，动议人请求法院作出命令，准予加快审理动议中所请求的救济，以及其他公正且适当的救济。\n\n日期：2023年1月20日 康涅狄格州纽黑文\n\nDouglas S.
