Despins, in his capacity as the chapter 11 trustee (the \"Trustee\") appointed in the chapter 11 case of Ho Wan Kwok (the \"Individual Debtor\"), hereby requests that the Court schedule a status conference, **to be held remotely via Zoom**, as soon as practicable.\n\nThe Trustee's request is prompted by, among other things, the Trustee's recent discovery of a second yacht owned by HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC (\"HK USA\"), the need to take immediate steps to protect this asset for the benefit of the estate, and, relatedly, the failure of HK USA and Mei Guo (together, the \"Counter-Defendants\") to disclose assets as required by the *Order Granting Chapter 11 Trustee's Motion for Preliminary Injunction Pursuant to Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 7065 Freezing Assets Of Counter-Defendants* [Adv. Proc. Docket No. 142] (the **\"**Preliminary Injunction Order\"), entered on March 17, 2023.\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 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\nAs the court is aware, the Preliminary Injunction Order required, at paragraph (d) thereof, that the Counter-Defendants \"identify to the Trustee and to the Court within five days of entry of this Order any other property in which they hold an interest.\" The Counter-Defendants' deadline to identify this property was subsequently extended to March 27, 2023 [Adv. Proc. Docket No. 157].\n\nOn March 27, 2023, the Trustee received a letter from counsel to the Counter-Defendants, Mr. Vartan, in which Mr. Vartan stated that, aside from the Lady May yacht itself \"HK USA's only other 'property' is the 'Escrowed Funds'\" deposited pursuant to the escrow agreement by and among HK USA, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, and U.S. Bank National Association. A copy of Mr. Vartan's letter is attached hereto as **Exhibit A.**\n\nOn March 29, 2023, the Trustee confirmed that, contrary to Mr. Vartan's representation, **HK USA is also the registered owner of another yacht, the Lady May II**, currently located in a storage facility in Mamaroneck, New York. A registry transcript document confirming that HK USA is the registered owner of the Lady May II is attached hereto as **Exhibit B.2**\n\nThe Trustee submits that, in light of these and other developments, and given their impact on the administration of these chapter 11 cases, it is appropriate to schedule a status conference, to be attended by counsel to the Counter-Defendants and the Trustee, so that the Trustee can provide the Court and parties in interest with an update (and possibly proposed next steps) with respect to these matters. The Trustee believes that addressing some of these issues initially\n\n<sup>2</sup> Notably in Mr. Vartan's March 6, 2023 declaration filed at Main Case Docket No. 1512 (the \"Vartan Declaration\"), Mr. Vartan stated, among other things, that the Counter-Defendants had complied with Rule 2004 subpoenas and \"had performed an exhaustive search for documents potentially responsive to the Subpoenas.\" Vartan Declaration ¶ 2. That statement was inaccurate given the registry papers showing HK USA to be the owner of the Lady May II, as was Mei Guo's statement in her declaration filed on March 13, 2023 that \"the Lady May is HK USA's sole asset.\" Main Case Docket No. 1544 ¶ 24.\n\nthrough a status conference would be more efficient than commencing motion practice without\n\nthe Court's guidance.\n\nAmong other things, at the proposed status conference, the Trustee would provide an\n\nupdate on the following:\n\n- Next steps with respect to the Lady May II, including with respect to steps that need to be taken to protect this asset for the benefit of the estate;\n- The Trustee's intention to seek summary judgment in connection with his alter ego claim asserted in the HK USA adversary proceeding;\n- Necessary protections to be taken to ensure that Mei Guo's invocation of the Fifth Amendment is not used to obfuscate and secrete away currently unidentified assets of the Counter-Defendants; and\n- Update on the Lady May.\n\n*[THE REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY BLANK.]*\n\nWHEREFORE, the Trustee respectfully requests that the Court grant the Motion,\n\nschedule a status conference, and order such other relief as is just and proper.\n\n| Dated:<br>March 29, 2023 |                    | LUC A.

HK USA maintains that the Escrowed Funds are not an asset of the company, but a liability which is to be repaid.\n\nVery truly yours,\n\ns/ Lee Vartan\n\nLee Vartan Member\n\n## **EXHIBIT B**\n\nCase 22-50073 Doc 1613 Filed 03/29/23 17:01:49 Page 10 of 11\n\n![](_page_9_Picture_1.jpeg)\n\n### TRANSCRIPT OF BRITISH REGISTRY\n\n#### PARTICULARS OF SHIP\n\n| NAME OF SHIP                                         | NUMBER, YEAR AND PORT OF<br>REGISTRY | OFFICIAL NUMBER     |\n|------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------|---------------------|\n| LADY MAY II                                          | 52 IN 2015, GEORGE TOWN              | 746230              |\n| NAME & ADDRESS OF BUILDERS                           | TYPE OF SHIP                         | SIGNAL LETTERS      |\n| WINDY SCANDINAVIA AB                                 | PLEASURE YACHT                       | ZCI3W5              |\n| SODRA VARVSGATAN 27<br>593 50 VASTIBRVIK<br>SWIBIDEN | MATERIAL USED TO CONSTRUCT<br>HULL   | IMO NUMBER (IF ANY) |\n| NUMBER, YEAR AND PORT OF PREVIOUS REGISTRY (IF ANY)  | FIBRE REINFORCED PLASTIC             |                     |\n|                                                      | DATE KEEL LAID                       | DATE MEASURED       |\n|                                                      | 24-NOV-2011                          | 12-MAY-2015         |\n\n#### PRINCIPAL DIMENSIONS\n\n| LENGTH (m):          | 14.95 | THE TONNAGE(S) OF THIS SHIP IN ACCORDANCE WITH HER<br>CAYMAN ISLANDS TONNAGE CERTIFICATE IS: |      |\n|----------------------|-------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------|\n| BREADTH (m):         | 4.20  |                                                                                              |      |\n| MOULDED DEPTH (m):   | 0.74  | TONNAGE(GROSS AND NET):                                                                      | 7.43 |\n| MOULDED DRAUGHT (m): | 0.56  |                                                                                              | 1    |\n| OVERALL LENGTH (m):  | 14.95 | For ships under 24 metres length, the tonnage is the gross tonnage and net tonnage,          |      |\n\n#### PARTICULARS OF ACCOMMODATION\n\n| NUMBER OF SEAMEN (INCLUDING APPRENTICES) FOR WHOM ACCOMMODATION IS PROVIDED: |  |\n|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--|\n| NUMBER OF PASSENGERS FOR WHOM ACCOMMODATION IS PROVIDED:                     |  |\n\n### ENGINE AND BOILER PARTICULARS\n\n| DESCRIPTION OF ENGINES                     | NAME & ADDRESS OF ENGINE MAKERS                                      | ENGINE DETAILS        |      |\n|--------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------|------|\n| INTERNAL COMBUSTION VOLVO<br>PENTA IPS 600 | AB VOLVO PENTA<br>GROPEGARDSGATAN<br>SE - 405 08 GOTEBORG<br>SWEDIEN | NO.

Despins（仅用于接收通知和联络）。\n\n诚如法院所知，初步禁令裁定在其第 (d) 款中要求反诉被告“在本裁定录入后五日内，向托管人及法院指明其持有权益的任何其他财产”。反诉被告指明该财产的截止期限随后被延长至 2023年3月27日 [对抗性诉讼案件卷宗第 157 号]。\n\n2023年3月27日，托管人收到反诉被告律师 Vartan（瓦尔坦）先生的一封信函，Vartan 先生在信中陈述称，除 Lady May（梅号）游艇本身外，“HK USA 唯一的其他‘财产’是依据 HK USA、无担保债权人官方委员会以及 U.S. Bank National Association（美国银行全国协会）之间订立的托管协议所存入的‘托管资金’”。Vartan 先生信函的副本作为附件 A 随附于本请求。\n\n2023年3月29日，托管人证实，与 Vartan 先生的陈述相反，HK USA 亦是另一艘游艇 Lady May II（梅号二号）的登记所有人，该游艇目前存放于 New York（纽约州）Mamaroneck（马马罗内克）的一处仓储设施内。确认 HK USA 为 Lady May II 登记所有人的登记誊本文件作为附件 B 随附于本请求。2\n\n托管人主张，鉴于上述及其他进展，并考虑到其对这些第 11 章案件管理工作的影响，安排一次由反诉被告律师与托管人共同参加的现状会议是适当的，以便托管人就这些事项向法院及利害关系方提供最新情况（并可能提出拟议的后续步骤）。托管人认为，起初通过现状会议处理其中部分问题，\n\n2 值得注意的是，在 Vartan 先生于 2023年3月6日 在主案卷宗第 1512 号提交的声明（“Vartan 声明”）中，Vartan 先生陈述称（除其他事项外），反诉被告已遵守第 2004 条传票，且“已对可能回应传票的文件进行了详尽的搜寻”。Vartan 声明第 2 段。鉴于显示 HK USA 为 Lady May II 所有人的登记文件，该陈述并不准确；Mei Guo 在其于 2023年3月13日 提交的声明中关于“Lady May 是 HK USA 的唯一资产”之陈述亦不准确。主案卷宗第 1544 号第 24 段。\n\n将比在没有法院指导的情况下直接启动动议程序更为高效。\n\n除其他事项外，在拟议的现状会议上，托管人将就以下事项提供\n\n最新情况：\n\n- 关于 Lady May II 的后续步骤，包括为破产财团利益保护该资产而需采取的措施；\n- 托管人就其在 HK USA 对抗性诉讼中提出的“替身主体（alter ego）”主张寻求简易判决的意向；\n- 为确保 Mei Guo 援引《第五修正案》不被用于混淆和隐匿反诉被告目前未查明资产而需采取的必要保护措施；以及\n- 关于 Lady May 的最新情况。\n\n[本页余下部分特意留空。]\n\n为此，托管人谨请法院批准本动议，\n\n安排现状会议，并命令给予公正和适当的其他救济。\n\n日期：\n2023年3月29日　LUC A.
