Between August 19, 2022 and August 22, 2022, counsel to the Trustee served Subpoenas pursuant to the Rule 2004 Orders on GTV Media and Saraca Media. *See* Exhibits B-1 to B-2. Between December 7, 2022 and December 9, 2022, counsel to the Trustee served Subpoenas on G-Club Operations, G-Club US Operations LLC, G-Club US Operations, Inc., Hudson Diamond NY, Hudson Diamond Holding, G-Fashion, Gnews, and US Himalaya Capital. *See* Exhibits B-3 to B-10. Between January 25, 2023 and January 31, 2023, counsel to the trustee served Subpoenas on New York MOS Himalaya, Crane Advisory Group, and Maywind Trading. *See* B-11 to B-13.\n\n4. On October 3, 2022, it is my understanding that GTV Media and Saraca Media each served objections and responses to their respective Subpoenas. True and correct copies of the objections and responses served by GTV Media and Saraca Media are attached hereto as Exhibits D-1 to D-2.\n\n5. Counsel to the Trustee and Counsel to GTV Media and Saraca Media met and conferred in good faith on September 14, 2022 and October 7, 2022 in an effort to resolve their disputes over GTV Media's and Saraca Media's objections and responses to the Subpoenas. During those meet and confers, the parties discussed a Relativity database that was set up in connection with document productions made by GTV Media and Saraca Media to the SEC in connection with the September 13, 2021 SEC Order. Counsel to GTV Media and Saraca Media indicated that they would provide counsel for the Trustee the parameters of the GTV and Saraca Database, to better allow counsel for the Trustee to determine the potential responsiveness of the documents in the GTV and Saraca Database to the Trustee's Subpoenas to GTV Media and Saraca Media. Morvillo indicated that the GTV and Saraca database may not include documents from custodians potentially important to the Trustee's investigation, such as Aaron Mitchell who Morvillo indicated served on GTV's Board. Counsel to the Trustee indicated a willingness to consider the documents on the GTV and Saraca Database as a potential source of documents to be searched, but said that without a complete understanding of the Databases parameters, and with key custodians potentially missing, the Trustee could not accept a search of solely the documents on the GTV and Saraca Database as a complete substitute for targeted searches responsive to the Subpoena and Requests.\n\n6. It is my understanding that counsel to the Trustee received the GTV and Saraca Database Parameters on November 2, 2023, and that counsel to the Trustee sent detailed followup questions regarding the GTV and Saraca Database Parameters on November 7, 2022. On November 28, 2022, it is my understanding that counsel to the Trustee requested GTV Media\n\nand Saraca Media complete their production of documents by December 2, 2022. On November 29, 2022, it is my understanding that counsel to GTV Media and Saraca Media informed counsel for the Trustee that they had ceased representing Saraca Media and GTV Media. It is my understanding that Morvillo informed counsel to the Trustee to reach out to Aaron Mitchell regarding all future inquiries pertaining to the GTV Media and Saraca Media Subpoenas.\n\n7. It is my understanding that on December 15, 2022 Counsel for the Trustee reached out to Aaron Mitchell regarding the Subpoenas to GTV Media and Saraca Media. Mr. Mitchell responded on December 16, 2022 saying that he had no authority to act on behalf of Saraca Media, but would provide the contact information for GTV Media's new counsel once retained. On December 21, 2022, counsel to the Trustee asked Mr. Mitchell if GTV Media had acquired new counsel, and inquired whom to contact regarding Saraca Media. Counsel to the Trustee has not received a response to those latest inquiries, and has not received any document productions on behalf of GTV Media or Saraca Media.\n\n8. On January 9, 2023, G-Club Operations served objections and responses to its Subpoenas. A true and correct copy of the objections and responses served by G-Club Operations is attached hereto as Exhibit D-3.\n\n9. Counsel to the Trustee and Counsel to G-Club Operations met and conferred in good faith on February 9, 2023 and March 7, 2023 in an effort to resolve their disputes over the objections and responses to its Subpoena. During the February 9 meet and confer, counsel to G-Club Operations indicated a belief that the Subpoena as to G-Club Operations was too broad, saying that the Individual Debtor was an unpaid spokesperson for the entity. Noting the Preliminary Injunction Decision, counsel to the Trustee stated that the record to date reflected that G-Club Operations was closely linked and controlled by the Debtor. Ms. Fornos agreed to re-review the Requests and highlight those requests where G-Club Operations did not have any responsive documents. Counsel to the Trustee agreed to brainstorm ways to focus on the highest priority Requests, potentially through the compilation of targeted search terms.\n\n10. It is my understanding, however, that during the March 7 meet and confer, counsel to G-Club Operations, for the first time, said that G-Club Operations was \"extremely troubled\" by the representations regarding the Debtors relationship to G-Club made during the parties' first meet and confer, where counsel to the Trustee reiterated the findings of this Court in the Preliminary Injunction Decision. It is my understanding that Ms. Fornos said that G-Club Operations could not move forward with responding to its Subpoena given the statements reflecting the Court's decision. It is my understanding that Ms. Fornos told counsel to the Trustee that G-Club Operations would inform the Trustee of any relief that G-Club Operations would seek with this Court with respect to the Preliminary Injunction Decision's findings of facts or G-Club Operations' Subpoena by March 10, 2023. .\n\n11. Having not heard from Ms. Fornos regarding any relief sought by G-Club Operations, it is my understanding that counsel to the Trustee emailed Ms. Fornos on April 6, 2023, demanding that G-Club Operations complete its entire production of responsive documents on or before April 10, 2023. On April 9, 2023, Ms. Fornos responded, in part, by requesting another meet and confer, saying that G-Club Operations was busy understanding the allegations made against G-Club Operations in the March 15, 2023 SEC Complaint.\n\n12. On April 11, 2023, it is my understanding that counsel to the Trustee held a third meet and confer with Ms. Fornos. It is my understanding that Ms. Fornos indicated that a number of G-Club Operations' executives, including its chief executive officer, general counsel, and associate general counsel, resigned following the March 15, 2023 SEC Complaint, which named G-Club Operations. It is my understanding that Counsel to the Trustee asked Ms. Fornos to prioritize responsive documents and records concerning G-Club Operations' bank accounts, assets, and any transfers of funds or assets. Ms. Fornos said that she would provide counsel to the Trustee an update no later than April 25, 2023.\n\n13. On April 25, 2023, it is my understanding that Ms. Fornos emailed counsel to the Trustee reiterating that G-Club Operations experienced turnover following the Debtor and G-Club Operations being named in the SEC Complaint. Ms. Fornos said that the independent director/manager should be in place within the next week.\n\n14. It is my understanding that counsel for the Trustee reached out to Ms. Fornos on May 8, 2023 asking for an update as to G-Club Operations' compliance with the Subpoena. Counsel for the Trustee asked that G-Club Operations begin immediate production of responsive documents, and reserved all rights to seek assistance of this court if G-Club Operations did not begin immediate production. On May 9, 2023, it is my understanding that Ms. Fornos emailed counsel to the Trustee evidencing further delay in G-Club Operations' appointment of an independent director/manager. The Trustee has not received and responsive documents from G-Club Operations.\n\n15. Counsel to the Trustee has not received any objections or responses or document productions responsive to the Subpoenas served on G-Club US Operations LLC, G-Club US Operations, Inc., Hudson Diamond NY, Hudson Diamond Holding, G-Fashion, Gnews, US Himalaya Capital, New York MOS Himalaya, Crane Advisory Group, or Maywind Trading.\n\n[*Remainder of page intentionally left blank*]\n\nPursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, to the best of my knowledge, information and belief, and after reasonable inquiry, I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.\n\nDated: May 18, 2023 New Haven, Connecticut Respectfully submitted,\n\nBy: */s/ Avram E.

2022年10月7日秉持善意进行了会晤与商讨，以期解决他们就 GTV Media 和 Saraca Media 对传票提出的异议与答复存在的争议。在这些会商过程中，各方讨论了一个 Relativity 数据库，该数据库是 GTV Media 和 Saraca Media 配合 2021年9月13日 SEC（美国证券交易委员会）命令向 SEC 进行文件提供而设立的。GTV Media 和 Saraca Media 的律师表示，他们将向受托人律师提供 GTV 与 Saraca 数据库的参数，以便受托人律师能更好地确定 GTV 与 Saraca 数据库中的文件是否可能符合受托人向 GTV Media 和 Saraca Media 发出传票所要求的响应范围。Morvillo 律所指出，GTV 与 Saraca 数据库可能不包含对受托人调查可能很重要的文件保管人的文件，例如 Morvillo 指出曾在 GTV 董事会任职的 Aaron Mitchell。受托人律师表示愿意考虑将 GTV 与 Saraca 数据库中的文件作为检索文件的潜在来源，但表示如果不能完全了解数据库参数，且关键文件保管人可能缺失的情况下，受托人不能接受仅检索 GTV 与 Saraca 数据库中的文件作为完全替代响应传票及调取请求所作定向检索的方案。\n\n6. 据我了解，受托人律师于 2023年11月2日收到了 GTV 与 Saraca 数据库的参数，受托人律师随后于 2022年11月7日发送了关于 GTV 与 Saraca 数据库参数的详细跟进问题。据我了解，在 2022年11月28日，受托人律师要求 GTV Media 和 Saraca Media 在 2022年12月2日之前完成文件提供。据我了解，在 2022年11月29日，GTV Media 和 Saraca Media 的律师通知受托人律师，他们已停止代理 Saraca Media 和 GTV Media。据我了解，Morvillo 律所告知受托人律师，日后所有涉及 GTV Media 和 Saraca Media 传票的问询均需联系 Aaron Mitchell。\n\n7. 据我了解，在 2022年12月15日，受托人律师就向 GTV Media 和 Saraca Media 发出的传票联系了 Aaron Mitchell。Mitchell 先生于 2022年12月16日作出答复称，他无权代表 Saraca Media 采取行动，但一旦 GTV Media 聘请了新律师，他将提供新律师的联系方式。2022年12月21日，受托人律师向 Mitchell 先生询问 GTV Media 是否已聘请新律师，并询问关于 Saraca Media 应与谁联系。受托人律师未收到对上述最新问询的任何答复，也未收到代表 GTV Media 或 Saraca Media 提供的任何文件。\n\n8. 2023年1月9日，G-Club Operations 就其传票送达了异议和答复。G-Club Operations 送达的异议和答复的真实且正确的副本附于本声明书后，作为证物 D-3。\n\n9. 受托人律师与 G-Club Operations 的律师于 2023年2月9日和 2023年3月7日秉持善意进行了会晤与商讨，以期解决他们就对其传票提出的异议与答复存在的争议。在 2月9日的会商中，G-Club Operations 的律师表示认为针对 G-Club Operations 的传票范围过宽，并称该个人债务人只是该实体的无薪发言人。受托人律师提及《初步禁令裁定》（Preliminary Injunction Decision），指出截至目前的案卷记录反映出 G-Club Operations 与债务人存在密切关联并由其控制。Fornos 女士同意重新审查各项请求，并标明 G-Club Operations 不掌握任何响应文件的请求项。受托人律师同意共同探讨重点处理最高优先级请求项的方案，可能通过编制针对性的检索词来进行。\n\n10. 然而，据我了解，在 3月7日的会商中，G-Club Operations 的律师首次表示，G-Club Operations 对双方第一次会商中关于债务人与 G-Club 之间关系的陈述感到“极其不安”，当时受托人律师重申了本法院在《初步禁令裁定》中所作的事实认定。据我了解，Fornos 女士称鉴于反映法院裁定的陈述，G-Club Operations 无法继续推进对其传票的答复。据我了解，Fornos 女士告知受托人律师，G-Club Operations 将在 2023年3月10日之前向受托人通报 G-Club Operations 就《初步禁令裁定》的事实认定或 G-Club Operations 的传票向本法院寻求的任何救济。\n\n11. 因未收到 Fornos（福尔诺斯）女士就 G-Club Operations 所寻求的任何救济给出的回复，据我了解，受托人律师于 2023年4月6日 向福尔诺斯女士发送电子邮件，要求 G-Club Operations 在 2023年4月10日 或之前完成全部应答文件的出示。2023年4月9日，福尔诺斯女士作出部分回复，请求再次举行磋商会议（meet and confer），称 G-Club Operations 正忙于了解 2023年3月15日 SEC Complaint（美国证券交易委员会起诉书）中对 G-Club Operations 提出的指控。\n\n12. 据我了解，受托人律师于 2023年4月11日 与福尔诺斯女士举行了第三次磋商会议。据我了解，福尔诺斯女士表示，在 2023年3月15日 将 G-Club Operations 列为被告的 SEC 起诉书发布后，G-Club Operations 的多名高管（包括其首席执行官、总法律顾问和副总法律顾问）均已辞职。据我了解，受托人律师要求福尔诺斯女士优先出示涉及 G-Club Operations 银行账户、资产以及任何资金或资产转移的应答文件和记录。福尔诺斯女士表示，她将在不迟于 2023年4月25日 向受托人律师提供最新进展。\n\n13. 据我了解，福尔诺斯女士于 2023年4月25日 向受托人律师发送电子邮件，重申在 Debtor（债务人）及 G-Club Operations 被 SEC 起诉书列名后，G-Club Operations 经历了人事变动。福尔诺斯女士表示，独立董事/管理人应在下周内到位。\n\n14. 据我了解，受托人律师于 2023年5月8日 联系了福尔诺斯女士，询问 G-Club Operations 遵守 Subpoena（传票）要求的最新进展。受托人律师要求 G-Club Operations 立即开始出示应答文件，并保留在 G-Club Operations 未立即开始出示文件的情况下寻求本法院协助的一切权利。据我了解，福尔诺斯女士于 2023年5月9日 向受托人律师发送电子邮件，表明 G-Club Operations 任命独立董事/管理人的事宜进一步延期。受托人未收到来自 G-Club Operations 的任何应答文件。\n\n15. 受托人律师未收到送达至 G-Club US Operations LLC、G-Club US Operations, Inc.、Hudson Diamond NY、Hudson Diamond Holding、G-Fashion、Gnews、US Himalaya Capital、New York MOS Himalaya、Crane Advisory Group 或 Maywind Trading 的传票的任何异议、答复或应答文件出示。\n\n[本页以下部分特意留白]\n\n根据 28
