(\"NPM\"), as local and conflicts counsel to Luc A. Despins, in his capacity as the\n\nchapter 11 trustee (the \"Trustee\") appointed in the chapter 11 case (the \"Chapter 11 Case\") of Ho\n\nWan Kwok (the \"Individual Debtor\"), hereby files this *First Interim Application of Neubert,*\n\n*Pepe, and Monteith, P.C., as Local and Conflicts Counsel to the Chapter 11 Trustee, for*\n\n*Reimbursement of Expenses for the Period from July 8, 2022 through February 28, 2023* (the\n\n\"Application\"). By this Application, NPM requests interim allowance and reimbursement of the\n\n1 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.

Despins, as Trustee for the Estate of Ho Wan Kwok (solely for purposes of notices and communications).\n\nactual and necessary expenses incurred during the period from July 8, 2022 through and including February 28, 2023 (the \"Reimbursement Period\") in the Chapter 11 Case. In support of this Application, NPM respectfully states as follows:\n\n# **PRELIMINARY STATEMENT**\n\n1. At this time, there are limited funds in the Individual Debtor's estate—namely \\$117,124.89 as of February 1, 2023. For that reason, NPM is not seeking allowance or payment of its professional fees at this time, but, instead, will wait to do so until after additional funds have been recovered by the estate. However, since the Trustee's appointment on July 8, 2022 and NPM's retention as local and conflicts counsel (effective as of the same date), it has been required to incur and pay various expenses in connection with the Individual Debtor's Chapter 11 Case, including expenses related to computer research, reproduction, mailing, service of documents, discovery, and travel, all as further detailed in this Application.2 These expenses were necessary for the Trustee to conduct his investigation into the Individual Debtor's financial affairs, which investigation remains ongoing at this time.\n\n2. NPM now files this Application seeking reimbursement of \\$13,147.79 of expenses incurred during the Reimbursement Period in the Individual Debtor's case. NPM respectfully submits that these expenses were incurred to protect, preserve, and maximize value for the Individual Debtor's estate and his creditors. In light of the nature and complexity of the Chapter 11 Case, NPM submits that the requested expenses are reasonable under applicable standards. Accordingly, NPM respectfully requests that the Court grant the Application and allow reimbursement of the requested expenses.\n\n2 For the avoidance of doubt, NPM reserves all its rights to seek allowance and payment of its professional fees.\n\n# **JURISDICTION, VENUE, BASES FOR RELIEF, AND COMPLIANCE**\n\n3. The Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334 and the *Standing Order of Reference* from the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut (as amended). This matter is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2). Venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.\n\n4. The legal predicates for the relief requested herein are Bankruptcy Code §§ 328, 330, and 331, Bankruptcy Rule 2016, and Local Rule 2016-1. NPM consents to this Court's authority to enter final orders on this matter.\n\n5. NPM does not believe that *Appendix B of the United States Trustee's Guidelines for Reviewing Applications for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses Filed Under 11 U.S.C. § 330 by Attorneys in Larger Chapter 11 Cases* (\"Appendix B\") applies to this Application because (a) this Application does not request compensation for services rendered and (b) Appendix B only applies if the debtor's petition lists \\$50 million or more in assets and \\$50 million or more in liabilities, which the Debtors' petitions do not. Nevertheless, the Trustee and NPM intend to make a reasonable effort to comply with Appendix B in connection with the interim and final fee applications to be filed in the Chapter 11 Case, but reserve all rights as to their relevance and substantive legal effect in connection with the Application or any application for compensation in the Chapter 11 Case.\n\n6. NPM believes that this Application, together with the attachments hereto, substantially complies with the Bankruptcy Rules and Local Rule 2016-1. To the extent necessary, NPM requests a waiver of any requirements not met by this Application.\n\n# **BACKGROUND**\n\n# **I. Individual Debtor's Chapter 11 Case**\n\n7. On February 15, 2022 (the \"Petition Date\"), the Individual Debtor filed with the Court a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n8. On March 21, 2022, the United States Trustee appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (\"Committee\") in the Chapter 11 Case. No examiner has been appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases.\n\n9. On June 15, 2022, the Court entered a memorandum of decision and order [Docket No. 465] (the \"Trustee Order\") directing the United States Trustee to appoint a chapter 11 trustee in the Chapter 11 Case of Ho Wan Kwok. Pursuant to the Trustee Order, the United States Trustee selected Luc A. Despins as the Trustee. On July 8, 2022, the Court entered an order granting the appointment of Luc A. Despins as the Trustee in the Chapter 11 Case of Ho Wan Kwok.\n\n10. By order entered August 2, 2022, the Court authorized NPM's retention as local and conflicts counsel for the Trustee (ECF No. 669) (the \"Retention Order\"). The Retention Order authorizes NPM to be compensated on an hourly basis and reimbursed for actual and necessary out-of-pocket expenses pursuant to sections 328 and 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Rules, and such orders as the Court may direct.\n\n11. In light of the Trustee's ongoing investigation into the Individual Debtor's assets and his financial affairs, the Trustee is unable at this time to predict when he will be in a position to file a plan and disclosure statement. All quarterly fees have been paid to the United States Trustee, and all monthly operating reports have been filed.\n\n12. As of February 1, 2023, the amount of cash on deposit in the Trustee's account is approximately \\$117,124.89, all of which is unencumbered. Other than fees and expenses incurred by professionals, the Trustee is not aware of accrued unpaid administrative expenses at this time.\n\n# **II. Genever (BVI)'s Chapter 11 Case**\n\n13. On October 11, 2022, Genever (BVI) filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with this Court.\n\n14. No trustee or official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in Genever (BVI)'s chapter 11 case.\n\n15. October 14, 2022, the Court entered an order granting joint administration of the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case and Genever (BVI)'s chapter 11 case [Docket No. 970].\n\n16. On November 17, 2022, the Court granted Genever (BVI)'s application to retain NPM as counsel to Genever (BVI) in its chapter 11 case, effective as of its petition date, *i.e.*, October 11, 2022 [Docket No. 1107].\n\n# **III. Genever (US)'s Chapter 11 Case**\n\n17. On October 12, 2020, Genever (US) filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the \"SDNY Bankruptcy Court\"), thereby commencing case number 20-12411 (JLG) (the \"SDNY Bankruptcy Case\").\n\n18. On November 3, 2022, the SDNY Bankruptcy Court entered an order [Docket No. 225 in Case No. 22-50592] transferring the venue of the SDNY Bankruptcy Case to this Court, which assigned it Case Number 22-50592.\n\n19. On November 21, 2022, the Court entered an order granting joint administration of the Genever (US) Debtor's chapter 11 case with the jointly administered cases of the Individual Debtor and the Genever (BVI) Debtor's chapter 11 case [Docket No. 1141].\n\n20. On November 30, 2022, the Court granted Genever (US)'s application to retain NPM as counsel to Genever (US) in its chapter 11 case, effective as of the order transferring venue of the SDNY Bankruptcy Case to this Court, *i.e.*, November 3, 2022 [Docket No. 1177].\n\n# **REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST**\n\n21. By this Application, NPM requests allowance and reimbursement of all expenses incurred (in the amount of \\$13,147.79) in connection with services rendered by, for, or on behalf of the Trustee in the Chapter 11 Case during the Reimbursement Period. The Trustee has approved the amounts requested. All services in connection with the requested expenses were performed by, for, or on behalf of the Trustee.\n\n22. To date, NPM has not applied for compensation for any services provided in the Chapter 11 Case. Neither has NPM received any payment or promise of payment from any source for services rendered during the Reimbursement Period. There is no agreement or understanding between NPM and any other person for the sharing of compensation to be received for services rendered in the Chapter 11 Case.\n\n23. Annexed hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit A is a detailed billing report, broken down by project category, upon which this application is based\n\n# **ALLOWANCE OF EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT**\n\n24. Under section 328(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, with bankruptcy court approval, a trustee may employ professional persons under section 327(a) of the Bankruptcy Code \"on any\n\nreasonable terms and conditions of employment, including on a retainer, on an hourly basis, on a fixed or percentage fee basis, or on a contingent fee basis.\" 11 U.S.C. § 328(a).\n\n25. Under section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, a bankruptcy court may award to a professional \"reasonable compensation for actual, necessary services\" rendered by the professional, plus \"reimbursement for actual, necessary expenses.\" 11 U.S.C. § 330(a)(1).\n\n26. The expenses requested herein are customarily charged to non-bankruptcy clients of NPM. Additionally, the expenses incurred by NPM to third parties are limited to the actual amounts billed to, or paid by, NPM on behalf of the estates.\n\n27. Further, NPM believes the rates for charges incurred are the market rates that the majority of law firms charge clients for such services. In addition, NPM believes that such charges are in accordance with the American Bar Association's (\"ABA\") guidelines, as set forth in the ABA's Statement of Principles, dated January 12, 1995, regarding billing for disbursements and other charges.\n\n28. The expenses incurred in providing professional services in the Chapter 11 Case were necessary, economical, and justified under the circumstances.\n\n# **RESERVATION OF RIGHTS**\n\n29. To the extent that time or disbursement charges for services rendered or disbursements incurred relate to the Reimbursement Period, but are not included in this Application, or NPM has for any other reason not sought compensation or reimbursement with respect to such services or expenses, NPM reserves the right to request compensation for such services and reimbursement of such expenses in a supplemental or future application. Also, NPM does not waive, and expressly reserve, its right to respond to any objections regarding this Application and the amounts sought for services and expenses in the Chapter 11 Cases.\n\n# **NO PRIOR REQUEST**\n\n30. No previous request for the relief sought herein has been made to this Court or any other court.\n\n# **NOTICE**\n\n31. Notice of this Application has been given to the United States Trustee, the Individual Debtor, the Committee, and, by electronic notice utilizing the Court's electronic filing (\"CM/ECF\") system, to all appearing parties who utilize the CM/ECF system.\n\nWHEREFORE, Neubert, Pepe, and Monteith, P.C. respectfully requests entry of an order, substantially in the form attached hereto, (i) allowing reimbursement of \\$13,147.79, representing 100% of the actual and necessary expenses incurred during the Reimbursement Period, (ii) allowing such reimbursement of actual and necessary expenses incurred without prejudice to NPM's right to seek compensation for services rendered and further reimbursement for expenses incurred, and (iii) granting NPM such other and further relief as is just.\n\nDated: April 18, 2023 New Haven, Connecticut\n\n# LUC A.

Despins 以第11章案件中指定的第11章受托人（以下简称“受托人”）身份所聘任的本地及利益冲突法律顾问，就 Ho Wan Kwok（以下简称“个人债务人”）的第11章案件（以下简称“第11章案件”），特此提交 Neubert, Pepe, and Monteith, P.C. 作为第11章受托人的本地及利益冲突法律顾问，就2022年7月8日至2023年2月28日期间费用报销提出的第一次中期申请（以下简称“本申请”）。NPM通过本申请请求中期核准并报销其在第11章案件中于2022年7月8日至2023年2月28日（含当日）期间（以下简称“报销期间”）发生的实际且必要的支出。为支持本申请，NPM谨陈如下：\n\n1 本第11章案件中的债务人为 Ho Wan Kwok（亦称 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（Genever Holdings 有限责任公司）（税务识别号码后四位：8202）以及 Genever Holdings Corporation（Genever Holdings 公司）。受托人、Genever Holdings LLC 和 Genever Holdings Corporation 的邮寄地址为 Paul Hastings LLP（保尔·黑斯廷斯律师事务所），200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166，转交 Luc A. Despins（卢克·A·德斯平斯），作为 Ho Wan Kwok 遗产的受托人（仅用于通知和通信）。\n\n初步陈述\n\n1. 目前，个人债务人遗产中的资金有限——截至 February 1, 2023 为 $117,124.89。因此，NPM目前并不寻求核准或支付其专业费用，而将等待至遗产追回更多资金之后再行寻求。然而，自受托人于 July 8, 2022 获任以及NPM作为本地及利益冲突法律顾问获聘（自同日起生效）以来，NPM已被要求就个人债务人的第11章案件发生并支付多项支出，包括与计算机检索、复制、邮寄、文件送达、证据开示和差旅有关的支出，具体均如本申请进一步详述。2 这些支出对于受托人开展对个人债务人财务状况的调查是必要的，该调查目前仍在进行中。\n\n2. NPM现提交本申请，请求报销其在个人债务人案件的报销期间发生的 $13,147.79 支出。NPM谨称，该等支出系为保护、保存并最大化个人债务人遗产及其债权人的价值而发生。鉴于第11章案件的性质和复杂性，NPM称，所请求的支出符合适用标准下的合理性要求。因此，NPM谨请本院批准本申请，并准许报销所请求的支出。\n\n2 为免生疑义，NPM保留寻求核准及支付其专业费用的全部权利。\n\n管辖权、审判地、救济依据及合规情况\n\n3. 本院依据 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334 以及 United States District Court for the District of Connecticut（康涅狄格地区美国地区法院）作出的移送常设命令（经修订），对本事项具有管辖权。本事项属于 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2) 所指的核心程序。依据 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409，审判地适当。\n\n4. 本申请所请求救济的法律依据为《破产法》第328、330和331条、《破产规则》第2016条以及《地方法则》第2016-1条。NPM同意本院有权就本事项作出终局命令。\n\n5. NPM认为，《美国受托人审查大型第11章案件中律师根据 11 U.S.C. § 330 提交的报酬及费用报销申请指引》附录B（以下简称“附录B”）不适用于本申请，原因是：(a) 本申请并未请求为已提供服务支付报酬；且 (b) 附录B仅在债务人的申请书列示 $50 million 或以上资产及 $50 million 或以上负债时适用，而债务人的申请书并非如此。尽管如此，受托人和NPM拟就将在第11章案件中提交的中期及最终费用申请，作出合理努力遵守附录B，但就附录B与本申请或第11章案件中任何报酬申请相关的关联性及实体法律效力，保留全部权利。\n\n6. NPM认为，本申请连同其所附附件，在实质上符合《破产规则》和《地方法则》第2016-1条。如有必要，NPM请求豁免本申请未满足的任何要求。\n\n背景\n\nI. 个人债务人的第11章案件\n\n7. 于 February 15, 2022（以下简称“申请日”），个人债务人向本院提交了根据《破产法》第11章申请救济的自愿申请书。\n\n8. 于 March 21, 2022，United States Trustee（美国受托人）在第11章案件中指定了一个无担保债权人正式委员会（以下简称“委员会”）。第11章案件中未指定任何审查人。\n\n9. 于 June 15, 2022，本院作出决定备忘录及命令 [Docket No. 465]（以下简称“受托人命令”），指示美国受托人在 Ho Wan Kwok 的第11章案件中指定一名第11章受托人。根据受托人命令，美国受托人选定 Luc A. Despins 担任受托人。于 July 8, 2022，本院作出命令，批准 Luc A. Despins 担任 Ho Wan Kwok 第11章案件的受托人。\n\n10. 根据于 August 2, 2022 录入的命令，本院批准聘任NPM担任受托人的本地及利益冲突法律顾问 (ECF No. 669)（以下简称“聘任命令”）。聘任命令授权NPM根据《破产法》第328和330条、《破产规则》、《地方法则》以及本院可能指示的命令，按小时获得报酬，并报销实际且必要的自付支出。\n\n11. 鉴于受托人对个人债务人资产及其财务状况的调查仍在进行中，受托人目前无法预测其何时能够提交计划和披露声明。所有季度费用均已支付给美国受托人，所有月度经营报告均已提交。\n\n12. 截至 February 1, 2023，受托人账户中的存款现金约为 $117,124.89，均未设定负担。除专业人员发生的费用和支出外，受托人目前并不知悉有任何已累积但未支付的行政支出。\n\nII. Genever (BVI) 的第11章案件\n\n13. 于 October 11, 2022，Genever (BVI) 向本院提交了根据《破产法》第11章申请救济的自愿申请书。\n\n14. Genever (BVI) 的第11章案件中尚未指定受托人或无担保债权人正式委员会。\n\n15. 于 October 14, 2022，本院作出命令，批准对个人债务人的第11章案件与 Genever (BVI) 的第11章案件进行合并管理 [Docket No. 970]。\n\n16. 于 November 17, 2022，本院批准 Genever (BVI) 申请聘任NPM作为 Genever (BVI) 在其第11章案件中的法律顾问，自其申请日即 October 11, 2022 起生效 [Docket No. 1107]。\n\nIII. Genever (US) 的第11章案件\n\n17. 于 October 12, 2020，Genever (US) 向 United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York（纽约南区美国破产法院，以下简称“SDNY破产法院”）提交了根据《美国法典》第11编第11章申请救济的自愿申请书，从而启动案号为 20-12411 (JLG) 的案件（以下简称“SDNY破产案件”）。\n\n18. 于 November 3, 2022，SDNY破产法院作出命令 [Case No. 22-50592 中的 Docket No. 225]，将SDNY破产案件的审判地移送至本院，本院将其指定为案号 22-50592。\n\n19. 于 November 21, 2022，本院作出命令，批准将 Genever (US) 债务人的第11章案件与个人债务人及 Genever (BVI) 债务人合并管理的案件中的第11章案件合并管理 [Docket No. 1141]。\n\n20. 于 November 30, 2022，本院批准 Genever (US) 申请聘任NPM作为 Genever (US) 在其第11章案件中的法律顾问，自SDNY破产案件审判地移送至本院的命令之日起生效，即 November 3, 2022 [Docket No. 1177]。\n\n报销请求\n\n21. NPM通过本申请，请求核准并报销其在报销期间内，就受托人在第11章案件中提供、为其提供或代表其提供的服务所发生的全部支出（金额为 $13,147.79）。受托人已批准所请求的金额。与所请求支出有关的全部服务，均由受托人提供、为受托人提供或代表受托人提供。\n\n22. 截至目前，NPM尚未就其在第11章案件中提供的任何服务申请报酬。NPM亦未从任何来源收到或获承诺支付其在报销期间提供服务的任何款项。NPM与任何其他人之间不存在就第11章案件中提供服务而将收取的报酬进行分配的任何协议或谅解。\n\n23. 随附并构成本文件一部分的附件A，是作为本申请依据、按项目类别细分的详细计费报告。\n费用报销的准许\n\n24. 根据《破产法》第328(a)条，在破产法院批准的情况下，受托人可以根据《破产法》第327(a)条聘用专业人士，“按照任何合理的聘用条款和条件，包括按预付聘金、按小时计费、按固定或百分比费用计费，或按或有费用计费。”11 U.S.C. § 328(a)。\n\n25. 根据《破产法》第330条，破产法院可以向专业人士裁定其所提供的“实际、必要服务的合理报酬”，以及“实际、必要费用的报销”。11 U.S.C. § 330(a)(1)。\n\n26. 本申请所请求的费用，系NPM（纽伯特、佩佩与蒙泰思专业公司）通常向其非破产客户收取的费用。此外，NPM向第三方产生的费用，仅限于NPM代表各财产实体被计费或实际支付的金额。\n\n27. 此外，NPM认为，所产生费用的收费标准是大多数律师事务所就该等服务向客户收取的市场费率。此外，NPM认为，该等收费符合美国律师协会（American Bar Association，“ABA”）于1995年1月12日发布的关于支出和其他收费计费事项的《原则声明》中所载的指引。\n\n28. 在第11章案件中提供专业服务所产生的费用，是必要、经济且在当时情形下正当的。\n权利保留\n\n29. 对于与报销期间有关、但未包括在本申请中的已提供服务的时间费用或支出费用，或者NPM因任何其他原因未就该等服务或费用请求报酬或报销的，NPM保留在补充申请或未来申请中请求该等服务报酬及该等费用报销的权利。此外，NPM不放弃并明确保留其就本申请以及第11章案件中所请求的服务和费用金额，对任何异议作出回应的权利。\n此前未提出请求\n\n30. 此前未向本院或任何其他法院提出过本申请所请求的救济。\n通知\n\n31. 本申请的通知已送达美国受托人、个人债务人、委员会，以及通过本院电子提交（“CM/ECF”）系统向所有使用CM/ECF系统的出庭当事人发出电子通知。\n\n因此，Neubert, Pepe, and Monteith, P.C.（纽伯特、佩佩与蒙泰思专业公司）谨此请求作出与随附裁定草案实质相同的裁定，(i) 准许报销$13,147.79，该金额为在报销期间发生的实际和必要费用的100%，(ii) 准许报销所发生的实际和必要费用，但不影响NPM请求已提供服务报酬及进一步报销所发生费用的权利，以及 (iii) 准许给予NPM其他公正且适当的救济。\n\n日期：April 18, 2023 New Haven, Connecticut（康涅狄格州纽黑文）\nLUC A.
