Despins, as the Chapter 11 Trustee to the Individual Debtor's estate (the \"Trustee\") in the above-captioned chapter 11 cases (collectively, the \"Chapter 11 Cases\"), by and through his undersigned counsel, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 45(d), incorporated herein by Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the \"Bankruptcy Rules\") 2004 and 9016, hereby objects (the \"Objection\") to the *Notice of Jiaming Liu's Motion to Quash Subpoena* (the \"Motion to Quash\") [ECF No. 1465] filed by Jiaming Liu (\"Jiaming Liu\") and cross-moves to compel Jiaming Liu's compliance with the Trustee's Rule 2004 Subpoena (defined below). In support of this Objection, the Trustee respectfully states the following:\n\n## **RELEVANT PROCEDURE**\n\n1. The Trustee filed the *Third Supplemental Omnibus Motion for Entry of an Order*\n\n*Under Bankruptcy Rule 2004 and Local Bankruptcy Rule 2004-1 Authorizing Discovery with*\n\n<sup>1</sup> The Debtors in these chapter 11 cases are Ho Wan Kwok (also known as Guo Wengui, Miles Guo, and Miles Kwok, as well as numerous other aliases) (last four digits of tax identification number: 9595), Genever Holdings LLC (last four digits of tax identification number: 8202) and Genever Holdings Corporation. 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*Respect to Additional Entities and Individuals Affiliated with the Debtor, Relevant Banks and Entities Doing Business with the Debtor and Affiliated Entities* [Docket No. 1259] (the \"Rule 2004 Motion\") on December 21, 2022. Among others, the Rule 2004 Motion sought authority to serve Bankruptcy Rule 2004 subpoenas on Jiaming Liu and on Himalaya Investment LLC (\"Himalaya Investment\"), an entity as to which Jiaming Liu is the manager/member and the agent for service.\n\n2. The Court granted the Rule 2004 Motion by its Order on January 18, 2023 [Docket No. 1339] (the \"Rule 2004 Order\").\n\n3. On January 25, 2023, pursuant to the Court's Rule 2004 Order, the Trustee served Jiaming Liu (individually) at his home in Arizona with a subpoena (the \"Rule 2004 Subpoena\") requesting the production of documents and information. A true and accurate copy of the Rule 2004 Subpoena is attached hereto as **Exhibit A-1** and a true and accurate copy of the process server's affidavit of service with respect thereto is attached hereto as **Exhibit A-2**.\n\n4. At the same time, the Trustee likewise served Jiaming Liu with the subpoena to Himalaya Investment as its agent. A true and accurate copy of the process server's affidavit of service with respect to the subpoena issued to Himalaya Investment is attached hereto as **Exhibit B**. In his affidavit, the process server attests that Jiaming Liu \"informed [him] that he is an agent authorized by appointment to receive service\" for Himalaya Investment.<sup>2</sup>\n\n5. Jiaming Liu's deadline to respond or object (\"R&Os\") to the Rule 2004 Subpoena was February 8, 2023 (the \"Response Deadline\") and his deadline to produce documents was February 24, 2023 (the \"Production Deadline\"). Jiaming Liu has neither served R&Os nor has he produced any documents or information in response to the Rule 2004 Subpoena.\n\n<sup>2</sup> The Motion to Quash does not request relief with respect to the Himalaya Investment Subpoena.\n\n6. On February 15, 2023 (after Jiaming Liu's deadline to serve R&Os had expired), the Trustee's counsel received an email (the \"Feb. 15 Email\") from Attorney Richard Freeth (\"Attorney Freeth\") asserting, among other things, that Attorney Freeth represented Jiaming Liu, that Jiaming Liu has \"no connection to the debtor in your case,\" and that service of the Rule 2004 Subpoena must be \"a case of mistake[n] identity.\" Attorney Freeth also noted that Jiaming Liu is located in Arizona. Attorney Freeth demanded that the Trustee sign a stipulation withdrawing the 2004 Subpoena by the following day. Counsel for the Trustee advised Attorney Freeth that it would review the allegations in his email and substantively respond.\n\n7. On February 20, 2023, Jiaming Liu (represented by Attorney Freeth) filed the Motion to Quash. The Motion to Quash similarly claims that Jiaming Liu does not \"know Ho Wan Kwok … [or] follow the Whistleblower Movement, with which Ho Wan Kwok is associated.\" (Motion to Quash at ¶ 15.) The Motion to Quash asserts (without specific discussion as to any requests for production) that the Rule 2004 Subpoena is \"overbroad and unduly burdensome\" argues that Jiaming Liu should not be required to comply because he is located in Arizona. (*Id.* at ¶¶ 1, 2.) The Motion to Quash asserts that the service of the Rule 2004 Subpoena caused Jiaming Liu such distress that he became \"fearful, anxious and disoriented,\" \"failed to yield from a stop sign\" and crashed his car into \"the vehicle from the opposing direction.\" (*Id.* at ¶ 14.) The Motion to Quash seeks an award of sanctions against the Trustee. (*Id.* at ¶¶ 18-19.) Jiaming Liu did not attach a sworn declaration or provide any evidence in support of his Motion to Quash.\n\n8. On February 24, 2023 (the \"Feb. 24 Email\"), undersigned counsel for the Trustee emailed Attorney Freeth as follows:\n\nWith respect to the subpoena served on Jiaming Liu, the trustee is prepared to either conduct a deposition by remote videoconference or to travel to a location within 100 miles of the witness. Moreover, any dispute over the location of the deposition\n\n(and there shouldn't be one, considering the foregoing) should not prevent the examinee from producing documents.\n\nIn the same email, Trustee's counsel requested to meet and confer by telephone conference concerning the Rule 2004 Subpoena and the Motion to Quash.\n\n9. Attorney Freeth did not respond to the Feb. 24 Email. Trustee's counsel emailed Attorney Freeth again on February 26, 2023, renewing the Trustee's proposal to meet and confer. Again, Trustee's counsel received no response.<sup>3</sup>\n\n## **FURTHER RELEVANT BACKGROUND AND THE MOTION TO QUASH**\n\n10. As discussed by the Trustee in the Rule 2004 Motion, the Trustee believes that Jiaming Liu has relevant documents and information concerning, among other topics, potential assets of the Individual Debtor's estate (the \"Estate\"). Jiaming Liu is the manager/member and agent for service of Himalaya Investment, one of several \"Himalaya\" entities believed to be associated with the Individual Debtor and his financial affairs.\n\n11. The Trustee has received information linking Himalaya Investment to the Individual Debtor, and upon investigation, the Trustee reasonably believes this information to be reliable.\n\n12. The Himalaya entities have been linked to, among other things, the \"Himalaya Farm\" organizations, made up of the Individual Debtor's followers, which, upon information and belief, are controlled by the Individual Debtor and used by the Individual Debtor to raise money for certain ventures, including the \"Himalaya Exchange\" cryptocurrency business, which sells purported cryptocurrency, including \"Himalaya Coin\" or \"H-Coin\" that the Individual Debtor has aggressively marketed online and in social and other media.\n\n<sup>3</sup> Undersigned counsel declares upon penalty of perjury that the facts set forth in these paragraphs 8 and 9 are true and correct.\n\n## **ARGUMENT**\n\n13. The Motion to Quash claims that the Rule 2004 Subpoena is overbroad and unduly burdensome, because Jiaming Liu purportedly does not \"know\" the Individual Debtor and is further based on Jiaming Liu's location in Arizona. These arguments fail both on the facts and on the law – and the Court should thus deny the Motion to Quash and compel Jiaming Liu to comply with the Rule 2004 Subpoena forthwith.\n\n14. The Motion to Quash utterly ignores the broad scope of discovery applicable to subpoenas issued under Bankruptcy Rule 2004: \"The purpose of a Rule 2004 examination is to assist a party in interest in determining the nature and extent of the bankruptcy estate, revealing assets, examining transactions and assessing whether wrongdoing has occurred.\" *In re Transmar Commodity Grp. Ltd.*, Case No. 16-13625-JLG, 2018 WL 4006324, at \\*4 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Aug. 17, 2018) (internal quotation and citation omitted).\n\n15. This includes revealing the nature and extent of the estate and in discovering assets of the debtor that may have been intentionally or unintentionally concealed. *In re Bennett Funding Grp., Inc.*, 203 B.R. 24, 27-28 (Bankr. N.D.N.Y. 1996); *see also In re Millennium Lab Holdings II, LLC*, 562 B.R. 614, 626 (Bankr. D. Del. 2016) (\"Legitimate goals of Rule 2004 examinations include discovering assets, examining transactions, and determining whether wrongdoing has occurred.\") (internal quotation and citation omitted)); *id.* (noting that \"[u]nlike traditional discovery, which narrowly focuses on the issues germane to the dispute, the scope of Rule 2004 is broad and unfettered, and has been likened to a fishing expedition and an inquisition\") (internal citations and punctuation omitted); Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2004(b) (authorizing scope of 2004 examinations \"relat[ing] . . . to . . . property . . . and financial condition of the debtor, or to any matter which may affect the administration of the debtor's estate\") (emphasis added).\n\n16. The unsupported allegation that Jiaming Liu does not \"know\" the Individual Debtor does not excuse compliance with the subpoena. First, it should be noted that this allegation is unsupported by any sworn declaration. Moreover, thus far Jiaming Liu's counsel has ignored requests to participate in a meet-and-confer with Trustee's counsel. In any event, Jiaming Liu's characterization of his relationship with the Individual Debtor is not determinative; what matters is whether Jiaming Liu has discoverable documents and information. The information obtained by the Trustee thus far – including Jiaming Liu's role at Himalaya Investment and a credible report that Himalaya Investment is associated with the Individual Trustee – suggests that he does.\n\n17. Moreover, Jiaming Liu's attempt to portray himself as a victim of mistaken identity is further belied by the appearance of Attorney Freeth as his counsel. Attorney Freeth is also counsel for the plaintiffs in three actions recently filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York asserting frivolous claims against counsel for and a corporate officer of parties that are adversaries to the Individual Debtor in these Chapter 11 Cases, *i.e.*, *Tao An, et al. v. Luc A. Despins, et al.*, case no. 1:22-cv-10062 (VEC) against the Trustee and his law firm, Paul Hastings LLP; *Tao An, et al. v. Weijian Shan, et al.*, case no. 1:22-cv-10060 (ALC), against the chairman of the parent company of Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund L.P. (\"PAX\") and his son; and *Junwu Gong v. Stuart M. Sarnoff, et al.*, case no. 1:23-cv-00343 (LJL) against, among others, one of the lead attorneys representing PAX and his law firm, O'Melveny & Myers LLP (collectively, the \"New York District Court Actions\").\n\n18. The Trustee believes that the New York District Court Actions were brought for the purpose of harassing the Trustee and PAX in connection with these Chapter 11 Cases; in two such actions, the defendants have already filed motions seeking sanctions. [Case No. 1:22-cv-10062-VEC, ECF No. 11; Case No. 1:22-cv-10060 [ALC] at ECF No. 31.] The fact that Jiaming\n\n-6-\n\nLiu, an individual in Arizona, selected Attorney Freeth to represent him in these Chapter 11 Cases further suggests Jiaming Liu's connection to the Individual Debtor and his financial affairs.\n\n19. Finally, the Trustee's offer to either conduct any deposition of Jiaming Liu by remote videoconference or by traveling to a location within 100 miles of Jiaming Liu's location renders argument concerning Jiaming Liu's residence in Arizona irrelevant. Again, the Court should deny the Motion to Quash and compel the witness to comply on this basis.\n\n*[THE REST OF THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY BLANK.]*\n\nWHEREFORE, the Court should enter an order denying the Motion to Quash, compelling Jiaming Liu to produce all documents responsive to the Rule 2004 Subpoena within seven (7) days and to otherwise comply with the Rule 2004 Subpoena, and ordering such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper.\n\nDated: February 28, 2023 LUC A.

or\n\n(B) within the state where the person resides, is employed, or regularly transacts business in person, if the person\n\n(i) is a party or a party's officer; or\n\n(ii) is commanded to attend a trial and would not incur substantial expense.\n\n*(2) For Other Discovery.* A subpoena may command:\n\n(A) production of documents, or electronically stored information, or things at a place within 100 miles of where the person resides, is employed, or regularly transacts business in person; and\n\n(B) inspection of premises, at the premises to be inspected.\n\n### **(d) Protecting a Person Subject to a Subpoena; Enforcement.**\n\n*(1) Avoiding Undue Burden or Expense; Sanctions.* A party or attorney responsible for issuing and serving a subpoena must take reasonable steps to avoid imposing undue burden or expense on a person subject to the subpoena. The court for the district where compliance is required must enforce this duty and impose an appropriate sanction which may include lost earnings and reasonable attorney's fees — on a party or attorney who fails to comply.\n\n### *(2) Command to Produce Materials or Permit Inspection.*\n\n*(A) Appearance Not Required.* A person commanded to produce documents, electronically stored information, or tangible things, or to permit the inspection of premises, need not appear in person at the place of production or inspection unless also commanded to appear for a deposition, hearing, or trial.\n\n*(B) Objections.* A person commanded to produce documents or tangible things or to permit inspection may serve on the party or attorney designated in the subpoena a written objection to inspecting, copying, testing or sampling any or all of the materials or to inspecting the premises — or to producing electronically stored information in the form or forms requested. The objection must be served before the earlier of the time specified for compliance or 14 days after the subpoena is served. If an objection is made, the following rules apply:\n\n(i) At any time, on notice to the commanded person, the serving party may move the court for the district where compliance is required for an order compelling production or inspection.\n\n(ii) These acts may be required only as directed in the order, and the order must protect a person who is neither a party nor a party's officer from significant expense resulting from compliance.\n\n### *(3) Quashing or Modifying a Subpoena.*\n\n*(A) When Required.* On timely motion, the court for the district where compliance is required must quash or modify a subpoena that:\n\n(i) fails to allow a reasonable time to comply;\n\n(ii) requires a person to comply beyond the geographical limits specified in Rule 45(c);\n\n(iii) requires disclosure of privileged or other protected matter, if no exception or waiver applies; or\n\n(iv) subjects a person to undue burden.\n\n*(B) When Permitted.* To protect a person subject to or affected by a subpoena, the court for the district where compliance is required may, on motion, quash or modify the subpoena if it requires:\n\n(i) disclosing a trade secret or other confidential research, development, or commercial information; or\n\n(ii) disclosing an unretained expert's opinion or information that does not describe specific occurrences in dispute and results from the expert's study that was not requested by a party.\n\n(C) *Specifying Conditions as an Alternative.* In the circumstances described in Rule 45(d)(3)(B), the court may, instead of quashing or modifying a subpoena, order appearance or production under specified conditions if the serving party:\n\n(i) shows a substantial need for the testimony or material that cannot be otherwise met without undue hardship; and\n\n(ii) ensures that the subpoenaed person will be reasonably compensated.\n\n### **(e) Duties in Responding to a Subpoena.**\n\n*(1) Producing Documents or Electronically Stored Information.* These procedures apply to producing documents or electronically stored information:\n\n*(A) Documents.* A person responding to a subpoena to produce documents must produce them as they are kept in the ordinary course of business or must organize and label them to correspond to the categories in the demand.\n\n*(B) Form for Producing Electronically Stored Information Not Specified.* If a subpoena does not specify a form for producing electronically stored information, the person responding must produce it in a form or forms in which it is ordinarily maintained or in a reasonably usable form or forms.\n\n*(C) Electronically Stored Information Produced in Only One Form.* The person responding need not produce the same electronically stored information in more than one form.\n\n*(D) Inaccessible Electronically Stored Information.* The person responding need not provide discovery of electronically stored information from sources that the person identifies as not reasonably accessible because of undue burden or cost. On motion to compel discovery or for a protective order, the person responding must show that the information is not reasonably accessible because of undue burden or cost. If that showing is made, the court may nonetheless order discovery from such sources if the requesting party shows good cause, considering the limitations of Rule 26(b)(2)(C). The court may specify conditions for the discovery.\n\n### *(2) Claiming Privilege or Protection.*\n\n*(A) Information Withheld.* A person withholding subpoenaed information under a claim that it is privileged or subject to protection as trial-preparation material must:\n\n(i) expressly make the claim; and\n\n(ii) describe the nature of the withheld documents, communications, or tangible things in a manner that, without revealing information itself privileged or protected, will enable the parties to assess the claim.\n\n*(B) Information Produced.* If information produced in response to a subpoena is subject to a claim of privilege or of protection as trial-preparation material, the person making the claim may notify any party that received the information of the claim and the basis for it. After being notified, a party must promptly return, sequester, or destroy the specified information and any copies it has; must not use or disclose the information until the claim is resolved; must take reasonable steps to retrieve the information if the party disclosed it before being notified; and may promptly present the information under seal to the court for the district where compliance is required for a determination of the claim. The person who produced the information must preserve the information until the claim is resolved.\n\n**(g) Contempt.** The court for the district where compliance is required – and also, after a motion is transferred, the issuing court – may hold in contempt a person who, having been served, fails without adequate excuse to obey the subpoena or an order related to it.\n\nFor access to subpoena materials, see Fed.R.Civ.P.45(a) Committee Note (2013)\n\n…\n\n## **Requests for Production of Documents**\n\n## **I. INSTRUCTIONS**\n\n1. Unless otherwise indicated, the requests for documents set forth below, (the \"Requests,\" and each, a \"Request\"), must be responded to separately and specifically. Each Request shall be answered fully unless it is in good faith objected to, in which event the reason for Your objection shall be stated in detail, as set forth below. If an objection pertains only to a portion of a Request, or a word, phrase or clause contained within it, You are required to state Your objection to that portion only and to respond to the remainder of the Requests.\n\n2. Electronically stored information must be produced in accordance with the\n\nfollowing instructions:\n\n- a. Images. Black and white images must be 300 DPI Group IV single-page TIFF files. Color images must be produced in JPEG format. File names cannot contain embedded spaces or special characters (including the comma). Folder names cannot contain embedded spaces or special characters (including the comma). All TIFF image files must have a unique file name, i.e. Bates number. Images must be endorsed with sequential Bates numbers in the lower right corner of each image. The number of TIFF files per folder should not exceed 1000 files. Excel spreadsheets should have a placeholder image named by the Bates number of the file.\n- b. Image Load File\n\t- a. Concordance® Data File. The data file (.DAT) contains all of the fielded information that will be loaded into the Concordance® database. The first line of the .DAT file must be a header row identifying the field names. The .DAT file must use the following Concordance® default delimiters: Comma ASCII character (020) Quote þ ASCII character (254). Date fields should be provided in the format: mm/dd/yyyy. Date and time fields must be two separate fields. If documents includes imaged emails and attachments, the attachment fields must be included to preserve the parent/child relationship between an email and its attachments. An OCRPATH field must be included to provide the file path and name of the extracted text file on the produced storage media. The text file must be named after the FIRSTBATES. Do not include the text in the .DAT file. For Documents with native files, a LINK field must be included to provide the file path and\n\nname of the native file. The native file must be named after the FIRSTBATES.\n\n- b. Concordance Image® OR Opticon Cross-Reference File. The image crossreference file (.LOG or .OPT) links the images to the database records. It should be a comma-delimited file consisting of seven fields per line with a line in the cross-reference file for every image in the database with the following format: ImageID,VolumeLabel,ImageFilePath,DocumentBreak,FolderBreak,Box Break,PageCoun.\n- c. Document Text. Text must be produced as separate text files, not as fields within the .DAT file. The full path to the text file (OCRPATH) should be included in the .DAT file. It is recommended document level ANSI text files, named per the FIRSTBATES/Image Key. Extracted text files must be in a separate folder, and the number of text files per folder should not exceed 1,000 files. There should be no special characters (including commas in the folder names). Text files must be provided on a document level.\n- d. Native Production for Certain File Types. File types that reasonably require viewing in their native format for a full understanding of their content and meaning must be produced in native format. These include, but are not limited to, spreadsheets, spreadsheet-like files (Microsoft Excel, comma separated values, tab separated values, etc.), Microsoft PowerPoint or other special presentation files, database files, and audio/visual files. Provide an image of a Bates numbered slip sheet indicating the presence of a native file, and include the path to the native as a field in the .dat file. Name the produced native file with the Bates number corresponding to the slip sheet for the file. Group native files within incrementally named \"NATIVE\" directories, separate from images directories.\n- e. De-duplication. Produce a single copy of each electronic document for which exact duplicates exist. For email messages, consolidate duplicates based on MD5 hash generated from the BCC, Body, CC, From, IntMsgID, To, and Attach properties. For email attachments and standalone electronic files, consolidate duplicates based on MD5 hash of the entire file.\n- f. Metadata. Produce extracted metadata for each document in the form of a Concordance compliant load file (.dat). The first line of the .DAT file must be a header row identifying the field names. The .DAT file must use the following Concordance default delimiters: Comma , ASCII character (020) Quote þ ASCII character (254)\n\nDate fields should be provided in the format: mm/dd/yyyy. Date and time fields must be two separate fields.

Despins（卢克·A·德斯潘）作为上述标题所列第11章案件（统称“第11章案件”）中个人债务人财产的第11章受托人（“受托人”），通过其下方署名律师，根据《联邦民事诉讼规则》第45(d)条（经《联邦破产程序规则》（“破产规则”）第2004条和第9016条纳入适用），特此对 Jiaming Liu（刘嘉明）提交的《关于 Jiaming Liu 撤销传票之动议的通知》（“撤销传票动议”）[ECF No. 1465]提出异议（“本异议”），并提出交叉动议，请求强制 Jiaming Liu 遵守受托人根据第2004条发出的传票（定义见下文）。为支持本异议，受托人谨陈述如下：\n\n相关程序\n\n1. 受托人于 December 21, 2022 提交了《根据破产规则第2004条及地方法院破产规则第2004-1条请求准许就与债务人、相关银行及与债务人及关联实体有业务往来的实体相关联的其他实体和个人进行取证的第三份补充综合动议》[Docket No. 1259]（“第2004条动议”）。除其他事项外，第2004条动议请求授权向 Jiaming Liu 以及 Himalaya Investment LLC（“Himalaya Investment”）送达根据破产规则第2004条发出的传票；Jiaming Liu 是该实体的经理人/成员及送达代理人。\n\n1 本第11章案件的债务人为 Ho Wan Kwok（又名 Guo Wengui、Miles Guo 和 Miles Kwok，以及众多其他别名）（税务识别号码后四位：9595）、Genever Holdings LLC（税务识别号码后四位：8202）及 Genever Holdings Corporation。受托人、Genever Holdings LLC 及 Genever Holdings Corporation 的邮寄地址为 Paul Hastings LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166，转交 Luc A. Despins，作为 Ho Wan Kwok 财产的受托人（仅为通知和通信之目的）。\n\n2. 法院于 January 18, 2023 通过其裁定[Docket No. 1339]（“第2004条裁定”）准许了第2004条动议。\n\n3. 于 January 25, 2023，根据法院的第2004条裁定，受托人在 Jiaming Liu 位于 Arizona 的住所向其本人送达了一份传票（“第2004条传票”），要求其提交文件和信息。第2004条传票的真实准确副本作为附件 A-1 随附于此，就此传票的送达人员送达宣誓书的真实准确副本作为附件 A-2 随附于此。\n\n4. 同时，受托人亦作为 Himalaya Investment 的代理人向 Jiaming Liu 送达了向 Himalaya Investment 发出的传票。就向 Himalaya Investment 发出的传票的送达人员送达宣誓书的真实准确副本作为附件 B 随附于此。送达人员在其宣誓书中证明，Jiaming Liu“告知[其]，他是经指定获授权接受送达的代理人”，代表 Himalaya Investment。2\n\n5. Jiaming Liu 对第2004条传票作出回应或提出异议（“R&Os”）的期限为 February 8, 2023（“回应期限”），其提交文件的期限为 February 24, 2023（“提交期限”）。Jiaming Liu 既未送达 R&Os，也未就第2004条传票提交任何文件或信息。\n\n2 撤销传票动议并未就向 Himalaya Investment 发出的传票请求救济。\n\n6. 于 February 15, 2023（在 Jiaming Liu 送达 R&Os 的期限届满后），受托人的律师收到 Richard Freeth（理查德·弗里思）律师（“Freeth 律师”）发送的一封电子邮件（“2月15日电子邮件”），其中主张，除其他事项外，Freeth 律师代理 Jiaming Liu，Jiaming Liu“与贵案中的债务人没有任何联系”，且第2004条传票的送达必定是“一宗认错身份的情形”。Freeth 律师还指出 Jiaming Liu 位于 Arizona。Freeth 律师要求受托人在次日之前签署一份撤回第2004条传票的约定。受托人的律师告知 Freeth 律师，其将审查其电子邮件中的主张并作出实质性回应。\n\n7. 于 February 20, 2023，Jiaming Liu（由 Freeth 律师代理）提交了撤销传票动议。撤销传票动议同样主张，Jiaming Liu 不“认识 Ho Wan Kwok……[也不]关注 Ho Wan Kwok 所关联的爆料革命”。（撤销传票动议，第15段。）撤销传票动议主张（但未就任何文件提交请求作出具体讨论），第2004条传票“范围过宽且造成不当负担”，并主张 Jiaming Liu 不应被要求遵守该传票，因为其位于 Arizona。（同上，第1、2段。）撤销传票动议主张，第2004条传票的送达使 Jiaming Liu 极度痛苦，以致其变得“恐惧、焦虑和迷失方向”，“未在停车标志前让行”，并将其汽车撞向“来自相反方向的车辆”。（同上，第14段。）撤销传票动议请求判令受托人承担制裁。（同上，第18-19段。）Jiaming Liu 未附上经宣誓的声明，亦未提供任何证据支持其撤销传票动议。\n\n8. 于 February 24, 2023（“2月24日电子邮件”），下方署名的受托人律师向 Freeth 律师发送电子邮件，内容如下：\n\n就向 Jiaming Liu 送达的传票而言，受托人准备通过远程视频会议进行讯问，或前往距离证人 100 英里以内的地点。此外，关于讯问地点的任何争议\n\n（鉴于上述情况，本不应存在此类争议）不应妨碍受讯人提交文件。\n\n在同一封电子邮件中，受托人的律师请求就第2004条传票和撤销传票动议通过电话会议进行会面协商。\n\n9. Freeth 律师未对2月24日电子邮件作出回应。受托人的律师于 February 26, 2023 再次向 Freeth 律师发送电子邮件，重申受托人提出的会面协商建议。受托人的律师再次未收到回应。3\n\n进一步相关背景及撤销传票动议\n\n10. 如受托人在第2004条动议中所述，受托人相信 Jiaming Liu 持有关于下列事项的相关文件和信息，其中包括个人债务人财产（“财产”）的潜在资产。Jiaming Liu 是 Himalaya Investment 的经理人/成员及送达代理人；该公司是被认为与个人债务人及其财务事务有关联的若干“Himalaya”实体之一。\n\n11. 受托人已收到将 Himalaya Investment 与个人债务人联系起来的信息，经调查后，受托人有合理理由相信该等信息可靠。\n\n12. 除其他事项外，Himalaya 实体被关联至“Himalaya Farm”组织，该组织由个人债务人的追随者组成；根据所获信息及信念，该等组织由个人债务人控制，并被个人债务人用于为某些项目筹集资金，包括“Himalaya Exchange”加密货币业务。该业务出售声称的加密货币，包括个人债务人在互联网、社交媒体及其他媒体上积极推销的“Himalaya Coin”或“H-Coin”。\n\n3 下方署名律师在伪证处罚的约束下声明，本第8和第9段所述事实真实、正确。\n\n论证\n\n13. 撤销传票动议主张，第2004条传票范围过宽且造成不当负担，因为 Jiaming Liu 据称不“认识”个人债务人，并进一步基于 Jiaming Liu 位于 Arizona。该等论点在事实和法律上均不能成立——因此，法院应驳回撤销传票动议，并立即强制 Jiaming Liu 遵守第2004条传票。\n\n14. 撤销传票动议完全无视适用于根据破产规则第2004条发出的传票的广泛取证范围：“第2004条讯问的目的是协助利害关系方确定破产财产的性质和范围、揭示资产、审查交易，并评估是否发生不当行为。”In re Transmar Commodity Grp. Ltd., Case No. 16-13625-JLG, 2018 WL 4006324, at \\*4 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Aug. 17, 2018)（省略内部引述及引证）。\n\n15. 这包括揭示财产的性质和范围，并发现可能被故意或无意隐匿的债务人资产。In re Bennett Funding Grp., Inc., 203 B.R. 24, 27-28 (Bankr. N.D.N.Y. 1996)；另见 In re Millennium Lab Holdings II, LLC, 562 B.R. 614, 626 (Bankr. D. Del. 2016)（“第2004条讯问的正当目标包括发现资产、审查交易以及确定是否发生不当行为。”）（省略内部引述及引证）；同上（指出，“与狭义聚焦于争议相关问题的传统取证不同，第2004条的范围广泛且不受限制，且被比作撒网式调查和审讯”）（省略内部引证及标点）；Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2004(b)（授权第2004条讯问的范围“涉及……财产……及债务人的财务状况，或任何可能影响债务人财产管理的事项”）（着重号为后加）。\n\n16. 没有依据支持的 Jiaming Liu 不“认识”个人债务人的主张，并不能免除其遵守传票的义务。首先，应注意，该主张未得到任何经宣誓声明的支持。此外，迄今为止，Jiaming Liu 的律师一直无视参与与受托人律师会面协商的请求。无论如何，Jiaming Liu 对其与个人债务人关系的描述并非决定性的；关键在于 Jiaming Liu 是否持有可供取证的文件和信息。受托人迄今取得的信息——包括 Jiaming Liu 在 Himalaya Investment 的职务，以及 Himalaya Investment 与个人受托人有关联的可信报告——表明其持有该等文件和信息。\n\n17. 此外，Jiaming Liu 试图将自己描绘为认错身份的受害者，亦因 Freeth 律师作为其律师出庭而被进一步否定。Freeth 律师还担任原告律师，代理近期在 Southern District of New York（纽约南区）美国联邦地区法院提起的三起诉讼中的原告；该等诉讼针对本第11章案件中个人债务人对立方的律师及一名公司高级管理人员提出轻率主张，即 Tao An（安涛）等诉 Luc A. Despins 等，案号 1:22-cv-10062 (VEC)，针对受托人及其律师事务所 Paul Hastings LLP；Tao An 等诉 Weijian Shan（单伟建）等，案号 1:22-cv-10060 (ALC)，针对 Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund L.P.（“PAX”）母公司的董事长及其儿子；以及 Junwu Gong（龚君武）诉 Stuart M. Sarnoff（斯图尔特·M·萨诺夫）等，案号 1:23-cv-00343 (LJL)，针对包括代表 PAX 的一名主办律师及其律师事务所 O'Melveny & Myers LLP 在内的人员（统称“纽约地区法院诉讼”）。\n\n18. 受托人相信，纽约地区法院诉讼的提起目的，是在与本第11章案件有关的情况下骚扰受托人和 PAX；在其中两起诉讼中，被告已提交请求制裁的动议。[Case No. 1:22-cv-10062-VEC, ECF No. 11; Case No. 1:22-cv-10060 [ALC] at ECF No. 31.] Jiaming\n\n-6-\n\nLiu，作为位于 Arizona 的个人，选择 Freeth 律师在本第11章案件中代理其，进一步表明 Jiaming Liu 与个人债务人及其财务事务之间的关联。\n\n19. 最后，受托人提出通过远程视频会议对 Jiaming Liu（刘嘉明）进行任何证言录取，或前往距离 Jiaming Liu 所在地点 100 英里以内的地点进行证言录取，这使得关于 Jiaming Liu 在 Arizona（亚利桑那州）居住地的论点无关紧要。再次，法院应据此驳回撤销传票动议，并强制证人遵从。\n\n[本页其余部分故意留白。]\n\n因此，法院应作出命令，驳回撤销传票动议，强制 Jiaming Liu 在七（7）日内提交所有对《规则2004传票》作出回应的文件，并以其他方式遵从《规则2004传票》，并命令给予法院认为公正和适当的其他及进一步救济。\n\n日期：February 28, 2023　LUC A.
