The mailing address for the Trustee and the Genever Debtor 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\nsubstantially in the form attached hereto as **Exhibit A** (the \"Proposed Order\"), limiting service of the *Motion of Chapter 11 Trustee, Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, For Approval of Settlement with United States of America* [Adv. Proc. 23-05017, Docket No. 24] (the \"9019 Motion\")2 to the Notice Parties (as defined below). In support of the Motion, the Trustee respectfully represents as follows:\n\n### **JURISDICTION, VENUE, AND STATUTORY BASIS**\n\n1. The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut (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. This is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b).\n\n2. Venue in this District is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.\n\n3. The bases for the relief sought by this Motion are section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and Rules 2002(a) and 2002(i) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the \"Bankruptcy Rules\").\n\n### **BACKGROUND**\n\n4. On July 11, 2023, the Trustee filed the Complaint [Adv. Proc. 23-05017, Docket No. 1], commencing the above-captioned adversary proceeding (the \"Adversary Proceeding\"). The Complaint seeks declaratory rulings that, among other things, the Debtor is the equitable owner of the Mahwah Mansion and that the Mahwah Mansion is property of the Debtor's chapter 11 estate to be administered by the Trustee. The Trustee also filed, on July 11, 2023, an\n\n<sup>2</sup> The Trustee also filed the 9019 Motion on the main docket of the Chapter 11 Case. *See* Docket No. 2083 in Case No. 22-50073. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the 9019 Motion.\n\n*ex parte* motion for a temporary restraining order (a \"TRO\") and preliminary injunction [Adv.\n\nProc. 23-05013, Docket No. 4] (the \"TRO Motion\") . On July 19, 2023, the Trustee filed a\n\n*Revised Proposed Order in Connection with the TRO Motion*.\n\n5. On August 1, 2023, the Court entered its *Order Granting in* Ex Parte *Motion for*\n\n*Temporary Restraining Order* [Adv. Proc. 23-05017, Docket No. 17] (the \"TRO Order\").\n\nAmong other things, the TRO Order stated that:\n\nthe Defendants shall not transfer, encumber, move, dispose of, or in any way impair any asset or property of Taurus Fund, including the Mahwah Mansion, until further order of the Court;\n\nthis Order is binding on (i) the Defendants; (ii) the Defendants' officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys; and (iii) other persons who are in attive participation with the Defendants and/or the Defendants' officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys, including, without limitation, the Debtor, Pamela Tsai, a/k/a Nicole, Qidong Xia, a/k/a Changdao Brother and David Xia, each of whom is directed to comply with the terms of this order.<sup>3</sup>\n\n6. The TRO Order also set forth a litigation schedule with respect to the TRO\n\nMotion, including a deadline of August 9, 2023 for any objection or response to the TRO\n\nMotion, a deadline of August 10, 2023 for any reply to any objection or response, and a hearing\n\ndate of August 14, 2023, with respect to the TRO Motion (the \"Preliminary Injunction\n\nHearing\").\n\n7. The 9019 Motion asks the Court to approve the Settlement Agreement. As\n\nexplained in the 9019 Motion and in the Settlement Agreement, the Settlement Agreement ensures that potentially complex issues arising from the interaction between bankruptcy law and criminal law will not delay the Trustee's prosecution of this Adversary Proceeding.\n\n<sup>3</sup> TRO Order, 3,4.\n\n#### **RELIEF REQUESTED**\n\n8. By this Motion, the Trustee seeks to limit service of the 9019 Motion to (i) the United States Trustee; (ii) the Debtor; (iii) the official committee of unsecured creditors; (iv) the Defendants; (v) by electronic filing utilizing the Court's electronic filing (\"CM/ECF\") system, to all appearing parties who utilize the CM/ECF system; (vi) the United States of America; and (vii) any party who requested notice in these chapter 11 cases, but is unable to accept electronic filing as indicated on the Notice of Electronic Filing (collectively the \"Notice Parties\").\n\n9. The Trustee files this Motion with the consent of the United States of America (the \"Government\"), represented by the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York (\"USAO-SDNY\").\n\n### **I. Limited Service**\n\n10. Section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code authorizes a court to \"issue any order, process, or judgment that is necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of [the Bankruptcy Code],\" thereby codifying the bankruptcy court's inherent equitable powers.\n\n11. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002(a)(3), notice of a hearing on a proposed compromise or settlement (such as the 9019 Motion) must be given by mail and must be served on (among others) \"all creditors.\"\n\n12. As of today, approximately 1,300 claims have been filed in these chapter 11 cases—the overwhelming majority of which are individuals located in foreign jurisdictions and many of whom have elected confidential treatment of their claims (in accordance with the bar date order). The Trustee submits that it would be unduly burdensome for the estates to serve the 9019 Motion on 1,300 parties. Doing so would consume resources that these estates do not have, nor would it serve the interests of the creditors of these estates. In fact, it is very unlikely that\n\nindividual creditors would have any interest in reviewing the 9019 Motion—especially given that (a) several creditors are already active (and have filed notices of appearances) in these chapter 11 cases and (b) an official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in the Debtor's chapter 11 case.\n\n13. Finally, this relief is consistent with Rule 2002 itself, which expressly contemplates that the bankruptcy court may, if it deems appropriate, limit the service that would otherwise be required. Bankruptcy Rule 2002(i) provides that \"the court may order that notices required by subdivision (a)(2), (3), and (6)\" need only be provided \"to the [official committee of unsecured creditors] or [its] authorized agents and to the creditors and equity security holders who serve on the trustee or debtor in possession and file a request that all notices be mailed to them.\"\n\n14. Based on the foregoing, the Trustee requests that the Court authorize service of the 9019 Motion only upon the Notice Parties.\n\n15. The Trustee submits that the relief sought in this Motion is appropriate in the Chapter 11 Case and is in the best interests of the Debtor's estate, its creditors, and other partiesin-interest.\n\n[*Remainder of page intentionally left blank.*]\n\nWHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, Trustee requests that the Court enter an order\n\ngranting the relief requested in this Motion and such other relief as is just and proper.\n\nDated: August 14, 2023 LUC A.

TRO 裁定亦载明了关于 TRO 动议的诉讼日程，包括对 TRO 动议提出任何异议或回应的截止日期为 2023年8月9日，对任何异议或回应提出抗辩答复的截止日期为 2023年8月10日，以及关于 TRO 动议的听证日期为 2023年8月14日（下称「初步禁令听证会」）。\n\n7. 9019 动议请求法院批准《和解协议》。正如 9019 动议及《和解协议》中所解释，《和解协议》确保了由破产法与刑法相互交织可能引发的复杂问题不会拖延受托人对本对抗辩诉程序的推进。\n\n3 TRO 裁定，3、4。\n\n请求之救济\n\n8. 通过本动议，受托人寻求将 9019 动议的送达范围限制为：(i) 美国受托人；(ii) 债务人；(iii) 无担保债权人官方委员会；(iv) 被告；(v) 利用法院电子申报（「CM/ECF」）系统，以电子申报方式向所有使用 CM/ECF 系统的出庭方送达；(vi) 美利坚合众国；以及 (vii) 在这些第 11 章案件中请求接收通知、但如电子申报通知上所示无法接收电子申报的任何当事方（合称「受通知方」）。\n\n9. 受托人在征得由 United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York（美国纽约南区联邦检察官办公室）（「USAO-SDNY」）代表的美利坚合众国（下称「政府」）同意的情况下提交本动议。\n\nI. 限制送达\n\n10. 《破产法典》第 105(a) 条授权法院「发布执行[《破产法典》]规定所必需或适当的任何命令、程序或判决」，从而成文法化了破产法院固有的衡平权力。\n\n11. 依据破产规则 2002(a)(3)，关于拟议和解或妥协（如 9019 动议）的听证会通知必须通过邮寄方式发出，且必须送达给（除其他主体之外）「所有债权人」。\n\n12. 截至今日，在这些第 11 章案件中已提交了大约 1,300 项债权主张——其中绝大多数是位于外国司法辖区的个人，且其中许多人已（根据债权申报截止期裁定）选择对其债权主张进行保密处理。受托人认为，若要求破产财产向 1,300 个当事方送达 9019 动议，将构成过重负担。这样做将耗费这些破产财产所不具备的资源，也无益于这些破产财产债权人的利益。事实上，个人债权人极不可能有任何兴趣审阅 9019 动议——特别是考虑到 (a) 若干债权人已在这些第 11 章案件中积极参与（并已提交出庭通知），以及 (b) 在债务人的第 11 章案件中已指定了无担保债权人官方委员会。\n\n13. 最后，该项救济与规则 2002 本身相符，该规则明确预期破产法院在其认为适当的情况下，可以限制本应要求的送达范围。破产规则 2002(i) 规定，「法院可下令将第 (a)(2)、(3) 及 (6) 款所要求的通知」仅提供给「[无担保债权人官方委员会]或[其]授权代理人，以及向受托人或自行管理的债务人送达并提交请求将所有通知邮寄给本人的债权人和股权证券持有人」。\n\n14. 基于前述理由，受托人请求法院授权仅向受通知方送达 9019 动议。\n\n15. 受托人认为，本动议所寻求的救济在第 11 章案件中是适当的，且符合债务人破产财产、其债权人及其他利害关系方的最大利益。\n\n[本页其余部分特意留白。]\n\n据此，基于前述理由，受托人请求法院作出裁定，准予本动议所请求的救济，以及其他公正与恰当的救济。\n\n日期：2023年8月14日\nLUC A.
