Despins, in his capacity as the chapter 11 trustee (the \"Trustee\") appointed in the Ho Wan Kwok's (the \"Debtor\") chapter 11 case (the \"Chapter 11 Case\"), hereby files this motion (the \"Motion to Compel\") for entry of an order, substantially in the form appended hereto (the \"Proposed Order\"), pursuant to Rules 26 and 37 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (the \"Federal Rules\"), and Rules 2004 and 9016 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the \"Bankruptcy\\_Rules\") compelling DBS Bank Ltd (\"DBS\") to comply with this Court's Order Granting Fourth Supplemental Omnibus Motion of Chapter 11 Trustee for Entry of Order Under Bankruptcy Rule 2004 and Local Rule 2004-1 Authorizing Discovery with Respect to Additional Legal and Financial Advisors to the Debtor, Entities and Individuals Affiliated with the Debtor, and Relevant Banks dated April 10, 2023(ECF No.1646, the \"Rule 2004 Order\") and with the Trustee's November 9, 2023 Subpoena and Request for Production of Documents issued to DBS\n\nThe 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 purposs of notices and communications).\n\npursuant to such order, attached hereto as Exhibit A (the \"DBS Subpoena\"). In support of the Motion to Compel, the Trustee respectfully states as follows:\n\n### FACTUAL BACKGROUND\n\n1. Chapter 11 Trustee for Entry of Order Under Bankruptcy Rule 2004 and Local Rule 2004-1 Authorizing Discovery with Respect to Additional Legal and Financial Advisors to the Debtor, Entities and Individuals Affiliated with the Debtor, and Relevant Banks (the \"Fourth Omnibus 2004 Motion\") seeking discovery with respect to various legal and financial advisors to the Debtor, persons affiliated with the Debtor, and, as relevant here, banks at which the Debtor and persons and entities related to the Debtor are believed to have deposited funds or conducted financial transactions.\n\n2. him, held substantial assets at DBS, borrowed from, and otherwise did business with and through DBS. This is shown by, among other things, documents and information obtained by the Trustee reflecting accounts at DBS in the name of Anton Development Limited (\"Anton Development\") and Hong Kong International Funds Investment Limited (\"HK International\"). Both Anton Development and HK International are shell companies that the Debtor beneficially owned or controlled, and which the Trustee's investigation suggests received, held, and transferred cash and other personal property worth millions of dollars on the Debtor's behalf.2\n\n<sup>2</sup> According to the Hong Kong police, HK International was effectively controlled by the Debtor, used by the Debtor to funnel money to a number of other Debtor-controlled entities in investment projects related to the Hong Kong stock exchange, and received all its funds from other Debtor-controlled companies. See Trustee's Amended Adversary Complaint [Adv. Proc. No. 22-05027 ECF No. 40] at pp. 5-6 (discussing HK International in further detail). Anton Development was a shell company that formerly owned the Debtor's Bombardier Global XRS business jet, which aircraft and its proceeds are the subject of yet another adversary proceeding, i.e., Luc A. Despins, Chapter I I Trustee v. Mei Guo, Adv. Proc. No. 23-05008-JAM.\n\n3. the Debtor's personal account with JPMorgan Chase Bank (the \"JPMorgan Account\") and accounts maintained by DBS in Hong Kong.3 The Trustee has evidence of two wire transfers from the Debtor's JPMorgan Account to an account held by Anton Development at DBS in Hong Kong: (i) an April 27, 2016 transfer in the amount of \\$2.8 million; and (ii) a December 29, 2016 transfer in the amount of \\$3 million. The Trustee also has evidence of a wire transfer from Anton Development's account with DBS in Hong Kong to the Debtor's JPMorgan Account dated November 8, 2016 in the amount of \\$399,973. In addition, the Trustee has evidence of a wire transfer from the Debtor's JPMorgan Account in the amount of \\$208,049 to an account held by HK International at DBS in Hong Kong.\n\n4. For these reasons, among others, the Trustee included DBS in his Fourth Rule 2004 Motion. DBS did not object to the Fourth Rule 2004 Motion, which the Court granted by its Rule 2004 Order on April 10, 2023.\n\n5. served on DBS at its Los Angeles, California Branch on April 18, 2023.4 The Trustee issued an amended Subpoena-referred to herein as the DBS Subpoena (see Exhibit A)-on November 9, 2023, which was served on DBS at its Los Angeles, California Branch on November 13, 2023,5\n\n6. Following service of the DBS Subpoena, DBS's counsel reported to Trustee's counsel that he had performed a search of documents of the \"DBS Bank Ltd, Los Angeles Representative Office\" and found no responsive documents. See the November 13, 2023 email\n\n<sup>3</sup> These transactions appear on bank statements issued to the Debtor by JPMorgan Chase Bank. The statements are attached as Exhibit B hereto.\n\n<sup>4</sup> DBS's only branch in the United States is its Los Angeles Branch.\n\n<sup>5</sup> The amended subpoena supplemented the list of entified as \"2004 Discovery Targets\" in the appended document request to include, among others, Anton Development.\n\nfrom Robert Ward of DBS to Trustee's counsel.6 DBS's counsel described DBS's search for responsive documents as follows: \"As the subpoena for production of records was served at the Los Angeles Representative Office, I performed a diligent and detailed search of the records for this office and provided a response in a timely manner.\" See November 14 Email from Robert Ward of DBS to Trustee's Counsel (emphasis added), Exhibit C. He stated further:\n\nDue to privacy laws governing customer accounts and records, we would be unable to search any location other than the Los Angeles Representative Office even if we had customer account numbers, names, and details for each entity, which as you know is not in our possession.\n\n\\* \\* \\* \\*\n\nDBS Bank Ltd is a global financial institution with branch offices in 17 different jurisdictions around the world. Each location has its own set of local laws, policies and statutes which govern their respective operations. The DBS Los Angeles Representative Office has no authority or control over any DBS location outside the United States. Each jurisdiction is regulated by a banking regulator and licensing entity which regularly examines and audits the operations of each location for strict compliance.\n\nSee November 15 Email from Robert Ward to Trustee's Counsel, Exhibit C.\n\n7. Trustee's counsel responded that the Subpoena was issued to DBS and was not limited to documents in the custody of DBS's Los Angeles branch. See email correspondence\n\nfrom Trustee's counsel to Robert Ward of DBS dated November 14, 2023, Exhibit C.\n\n8. After receiving DBS's statement that it would not search for or produce any records\n\nfrom DBS in offices or locations other than its Los Angeles branch, Trustee's counsel requested a telephone call to confer about DBS's position. In response to Trustee's counsel's request to meet and confer, DBS simply restated its position, showing an unwillingness to consider the Trustee's position or compromise its position in any way. See Email Correspondence between Trustee's counsel and Robert Ward dated November 14-15, 2023, Exhibit C.\n\n<sup>6</sup> The email correspondence between DBS and Trustee's Counsel between November 13, 2023 is attached hereto as Exhibit C.\n\n9. Jultimately, notwithstanding DBS's significant business operations in the United States, and DBS's participation in the transactions to and from the Debtor's JPMorgan Account, DBS has refused to comply with the DBS Subpoena to the extent it calls for production of documents from its locations outside the United States. Hence this Motion to Compel.\n\n## JURISDICTION AND VENUE\n\n10. The Court has jurisdiction to consider this matter under 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334. Venue is proper in accordance with 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409. This is a core proceeding pursuant to, inter alia, 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2) (A), (E), and (O).\n\n### RELIEF REQUESTED\n\n11. Jo The Trustee seeks entry of the Proposed Order compelling DBS to comply with the DBS Subpoena within fourteen days.\n\n### BASIS FOR RELIEF\n\n# The Court Has Charged the Trustee to Investigate the Debtor's Financial Condition and Has Authorized the Trustee's Use of Bankruptcy Rule 2004 Discovery\n\n12. Co DBS must comply with the DBS Subpoena and provide documents and information that are of key importance to the Trustee's investigation of the Debtor's financial condition and affairs. The Trustee is tasked with investigating the Debtor's assets and affairs for the benefit of the Debtor's creditors. \"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\n13. J. 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\n14. As set forth above, it is virtually certain that DBS has documents and information responsive to the DBS Subpoena. Following discussions between the Trustee and DBS, the Trustee understands that DBS's sole basis for refusing to comply with the DBS Subpoena is that the records sought by the Trustee are purportedly maintained outside the United States and are potentially subject to foreign privacy laws. DBS's reliance on foreign law to avoid its obligations to comply with the DBS Subpoena is misplaced.\n\n### DBS Must Comply with the Subpoena, Including for Accounts It Alleges Are Overseas\n\n15. J The Second Circuit has repeatedly compelled foreign entities to produce documents \"notwithstanding competing foreign legal obligations.\" Linde v. Arab Bank, PLC, 706 F.3d 92, 114-116 (2d Cir. 2013); see also United States v. Davis, 767 F.2d 1025, 1033-35 (2d Cir. 1985); United States v. First Nat'l City Bank, 396 F.2d 897 (2d Cir. 1968). As have the district courts within this circuit. See, e.g., Nike, Inc. v. Wu, 349 F. Supp. 3d 346, 364 (S.D.N.Y 2018); Strauss v. Credit Lyonnais, S.A., 249 F.R.D. 429, 456 (E.D.N.Y. 2008); Weiss v. Nat'l Westminster Bank, PLC, 242 F.R.D. 33, 57-58 (E.D.N.Y. 2007).\n\n16.\n\n349 F. Supp. 3d at 364.\n\nThe Supreme Court long ago recognized the difficulties faced by parties for whom compliance with a U.S. discovery order would violate foreign law. Operation of foreign law do[es] not deprive an American court of the power to order a party subject to its jurisdiction to produce evidence even though the act of production may violate that [law]. Ultimately, the District Court possesses wide discretion to proceed in whatever manner it deems most effective.\n\nId. (internal citations and quotation marks omitted) (citing Société Internationale Pour\n\nParticipations Industrielles et Commerciales, S.A. v. Rogers, 357 U.S. 197, 204-211, 78 S. Ct.\n\n1087, 2 L. Ed. 2d 1255 (1958)); see also Linde, 706 F.3d at 109.\n\n17. In Linde v. Arab Bank, PLC, the Second Circuit adopted from the Restatements a\n\nbalancing test governing the Court's \"discretion to enter a discovery order that may violate foreign\n\nlaw.\" Nike, Inc. v. Wu, 349 F. Supp. 3d at 364.\n\nSection 442 [of the Restatement (Third) of Foreign Relations Law of the United States] provides that, in determining whether to issue a production order for information located abroad, courts should consider [1] \"the importance to the investigation or litigation of the documents or other information requested; [2] the degree of specificity of the request; [3] whether the information originated in the United States; [4] the availability of alternative means of securing the information; and [5] the extent to which noncompliance with the request would undermine important interests of the United States, or compliance with the request would undermine important interests of the state where the information is located.\" Restatement § 442(1)(c). Cases from our Circuit counsel that, when deciding whether to impose sanctions, a district court should also examine the [6] hardship of the party facing conflicting legal obligations and [7] whether that party has demonstrated good faith in addressing its discovery obligations.\n\nLinde, 706 F.3d at 109-10; see also Laydon v. Mizuho Bank, Ltd, 183 F.Supp.3d 409, 420\n\n(S.D.N.Y. 2016) (numbering factors).\n\n18. Jo The balancing test under Linde tilts strongly in the Trustee's favor.\n\n19. Importance to the Investigation. The documents and information sought by the\n\nTrustee are of paramount importance to his investigation. DBS was the source or recipient of\n\nmillions of dollars that cycled between one of the Debtor's private accounts and accounts held by Debtor-controlled shell companies. The Trustee must uncover where these firom and what happened to them. Further, the Trustee's experience with other financial institutions that handled the Debtor's assets suggests that the Debtor, or individuals or entities controlled by or allied with him, may have held other assets at DBS. This information is likewise needed to understand the Debtor's financial condition. Accordingly, the first factor favors the Trustee.\n\n20. Specificity of Requests. The document requests set forth in the DBS Subpoena are specific to the Debtor and certain persons and entities that are directly related to or associated with him. This factor thus likewise supports compelling production.\n\n21. Location of the Information. DBS is a global financial services firm headquartered in Singapore with significant business operations in the United States and with branches throughout the world. DBS was involved in transactions using relevant accounts through its Hong Kong Branch. To the extent that DBS has additional documents and information located overseas, it has the ability to transmit these to the United States. It may not refuse to do so now in defiance of the DBS Subpoena. This factor supports the Trustee.\n\n22. Availability of Alternative Means to Obtain Information. DBS's refusal to look beyond the confines of its Los Angeles Branch implicitly suggests that the Trustee pursue evidence abroad by obtaining counsel in overseas jurisdictions, commencing recogmition proceedings, and seeking document production in numerous foreign jurisdictions. Alternatively, the Trustee could pursue evidence via the Hague Evidence Convention - again, throughout the world. Neither suggestion presents a viable alternative, because either would cause delay and expense that these bankruptcy estates cannot afford. Rather, the Federal Rules and the Bankruptcy Rules provide a simpler, cheaper, faster mechanism for the Trustee to obtain production. \"The discovery\n\nprocedures provided by the Hague Convention ... are neither the exclusive nor even, necessarily, the first means for obtaining discovery from a foreign entity, as compared with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.\" In re Flag Telecom Holdings, Ltd. Sec. Litig., 236 F.R.D. 177, 182 (S.D.N.Y. 2006); see also Valois of Am, Inc. v. Risdon Corp., 183 F.R.D. 344, 349 (D. Conn. 1997) (noting that \"it is generally recognized that procedures under the Hague Convention are far more cumbersome than under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures\"). Because DBS will not even confirm where it alleges the Trustee would need to seek such documents, to ensure complete compliance the Trustee would be required to undertake Hague Convention discovery or institute recognition proceedings in dozens of countries throughout the world. These are not realistic alternatives.\n\n23. As the Court recently found, delay and expense are both immensely prejudicial to the Trustee's investigation and, thus, to these bankruptcy estates. See Injunction Decision at pp. 32-33 (\"The delay is particularly harmful because there may not be an adequate remedy at law to compensate for the delay. The Chapter 11 Trustee cannot hire professionals to assist with the investigation without Estate assets and Estate assets may be placed outside the reach of creditors while the investigation continues to be delayed.\"). The absence of viable alternatives supports compelling DBS to comply by producing all responsive documents from all of it locations, inside and outside of the United States.\n\n24. Noncompliance Undermines Important U.S. Interests. The United States has a crucial interest in ensuring that the Trustee is permitted to diligently investigate the Debtor's financial affairs. The Court has repeatedly recognized the importance of the Trustee's investigation for these bankruptcy estates. See, e.g., Injunction Decision at pp. 38, 39, 41. The\n\n9\n\nTrustee's investigation is essential to ensure that creditors may eventually recover from property that rightfully belongs to these estates under federal bankruptcy law.\n\n25. J The Trustee's investigation is important not only for the benefit of these estates and their creditors, but also to ensure the integrity of the bankruptcy process. The Court recognized this in appointing the Trustee and continues to recognize this interest. See id. at pp. 54-55 (noting that the Trustee is an \"officer of the Court\" and discussing the integrity of the bankruptcy process). Other courts have likewise recognized the importance of this interest. See, e.g., In re RnD Eng'g, LLC, 556 B.R. 303, 313 (E.D. Mich. 2016 (\"the integrity of the bankruptcy process is an important consideration to the Court\"). This factor then also supports compelling production.\n\n26. Hardship and Good Faith. To assert hardship as a defense to compliance, DBS must \"show that the possibility of civil and/or criminal punishment is more than speculative.\" CE Int'l Res. Holdings, LLC v. S.A. Minerals Ltd. P'ship, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 85650, \\*41-42 (S.D.N.Y. June 11, 2013). DBS has provided no such showing; nor can it, given, among other things, its operations in the United States, and its participation in relevant transactions. In contrast, any prejudice claimed by DBS may be mitigated by a Court order directing its compliance with the DBS Subpoena and by the Protective Order previously entered in the Chapter 11 Case [ECF No. 923].\n\n27. Because all relevant factors support enforcing the DBS Subpoena, the Court should compel compliance by DBS.\n\n28. In addition to the factors identified in the Second Circuit's decision in Linde, supra, the Court should also consider that DBS's refusal to search for or produce responsive documents outside of those within the control of its Los Angeles Branch does not protect any vails privacy interests.\n\n10\n\n29. As for the Debtor, the Trustee stands in his shoes and is entitled to his records. As for HK International and Anton Development, both entities have been identified as alter egos of or beneficially owned by the Debtor, and both are targets of discovery in these proceedings. Either entity could have opposed the First Omnibus 2004 Motion or moved to quash the DBS Subpoena had they wished to do so.\n\n30. In any event, DBS will be fully protected by a court order directing it to produce documents and information responsive to the DBS Subpoena. The Court should enter such an order without further delay and prejudice to these bankruptcy estates.\n\n## NO PRIOR REQUEST\n\n31. The Trustee has not previously sought the relief requested herein from this or any other court.\n\n## CERTIFICATION OF COUNSEL\n\n32. As set forth above, and in the Declaration of Patrick R. Linsey filed herewith, counsel for the Trustee conferred with counsel for DBS in good faith in an effort to resolve this dispute without success.\n\n[Remainder of Page Intentionally Left Blank]\n\nWHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, the Trustee respectfully requests entry of the Proposed Order granting the relief requested in this Motion to Compel and such other relief as is just and proper.\n\nDated: November 29, 2023 New Haven, Connecticut LUC A.

A subpocna may command a person to attend a trial, hearing, or deposition only as follows:\n\n(A) within 100 miles of where the person resides, is employed, or regularly transacts business in person; 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 Subpoens; 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 undec 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 carnings and reasonable attorney's fees -- on a party or attomey who fails to comply.\n\n### (2) Command to Produce Materials or Permit Inspection.\n\n(A) Appearance Not Required. A person commonded to produce documents, clectronically 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 pennit 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 naturials or to inspecting the premises - or to producing electronically stored information in the form or forms requested. The objection must be served before the carlier 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 lime, 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\n\ncompliance is required must quash or modify a subpoena that;\n\n(i) fails to allow a reasonable lime to comply;\n\n(if) 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 unduc 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 expent'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 componsated.\n\n### (e) Duties in Responding to a Subpoena.\n\n(I) 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 docs not specify a form for producing electronically stored information, the person responding must produce it in a form or forms in which it is artiverily 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 identifics as not reasonably accessible because of unduce burden or cost. On molion to compel discovery or for a protective order, the person responding must show that the information is not reasonably accessible because of unduc 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 subpoenacd information under a claim that it is privileged or subject to protection as wial-preparation matcrial must: (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 scal to the court for the district where compliance is required for a determination of the claim. The person who produced the informations 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 contemplaned and also, atter been served, fails without adequate excuse to obey the subpoena or an order rolated to it.\n\nFor access to subpoena materials, see Fed.R.Civ.P.45(a) Committee Note (2013)\n\n### Request for Production of Documents\n\n### I.

The cooperation on this issue has been clear. We received the Subpoena, acknowledged its receipt, engaged in a detailed search of the records in our possession, and promptly provided the results of our investigation.\n\nDue to privacy laws governing customer account and records, we would be unable to search any location other than the Los Angeles Representative Office even if we had customer account numbers, names, and details for each entity, which as you know is not in our possession.\n\nDBS Bank Ltd is a global financial institutions with branch offices in 17 different jurisdictions around the world. Each location has it own set of local laws, policies, and statutes which govern their respective operations. The DBS Bank Los Angeles Representative Office has no authority or control over any DBS Bank location outside the United States. Each jurisdiction is regulated by a banking regulator and licensing entity which regularly examines and audits the operations of each location for strict compliance.\n\nWe can certify the results of the examination of the records located in the DBS Bank Ltd, Los Angeles Representative Office and my prior responses regarding the Subpoena served on us have done so.\n\nSincerely,\n\nRobert E Ward General Counsel DBS Bank Ltd, Los Angeles Representative Office Los Angeles, CA 90071\n\nFrom: Patrick Linsey <plinsey@npmlaw.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2023 12:40 PM To: Robert E WARD <roberteward@dbs.com> Cc: Kari Mitchell <kmitchell@npmlaw.com> Subject: [External] Re: Subpoena For Rule 2004 Examination: Request for Production of Documents (Ho Wan Kwok, et. al. } Case No. 22-50073 (JAM) Chapter 11\n\n> This mail originated from an external party outside DBS - plinsey@npmlaw.com Do not click on links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.\n\nThanks for your response. The Trustee disagrees that DBS is not responsible to search beyond accounts it associates with its Los Angeles representative office. To be clear, the Trustee has requested to meet and confer -- which it is the Trustee's obligation to seek to do under our local rules prior to filing a motion to compel. My takeaway from your response is that DBS declines to meet and confer regarding this matter. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Otherwise we will address the issue with the Court.

I performed a diligent search of our records (as required by the subpoena).\n\nAs the subpoena for the production of records was served at the Los Angeles Representative Office, I performed a diligent and detailed search of the records for this office and provided a response to you in a timely manner.\n\nDBS Bank Ltd is a global financial institution with locations across the globe. As you can imagined, it is impossible for me to provide any form of response other than one related to this office.

I have no way of knowing if there are accounts for the subject at any of DBS Bank Ltd\n\nglobal locations. I am only able to provide a response for the DBS Bank Ltd, Los Angeles Representative Office and a search of records at this location (where the subpoena was served) has been conducted and results of the investigation disclosed to you.\n\nRegards,\n\nRobert E Ward General Counsel DBS Bank Ltd, Los Angeles Representative Office 300 South Grand Avenue Suite 3075 Los Angeles, CA 90071\n\nFrom: Patrick Linsey <plinsey@npmlaw.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2023 5:23 AM To: Robert E WARD <roberteward@dbs.com> Cc: Kari Mitchell <kmitchell@npmlaw.com> Subject: [External] Re: Subpoena For Rule 2004 Examination: Request for Production of Documents (Ho Wan Kwok, et. al. ) Case No. 22-50073 (JAM) Chapter 11\n\n> This mail originated from an external party outside DBS - plinsey@npmlaw.com.

If the issue is that there are accounts at DBS Bank Ltd. (as the Trustee understands there are from his forensic accountants), but DBS declines to provide responsive documents because it views the accounts as not specifically associated with the Los Angeles branch (or declines to search its records beyond those it considers associated with the Los Angeles branch), the Trustee would like to be clear on that. To be clear, the Trustee's subpoena is intended to cover any accounts maintained at DBS Bank Ltd. regardless of what DBS considers to be the associated branch. I would also like to discuss the basis for the Trustee's understanding that there are responsive accounts maintained at DBS.\n\nPlease let us know your availability to meet and confer regarding the foregoing later this week. Thank you.\n\nBest,\n\nPat\n\nOn Nov 13, 2023, at 3:46 PM, Robert E WARD <roberteward@dbs.com> wrote:\n\nCaution: External Email.

I have paid close attention to Section IV \"Documents to be Produced\" subsections 1 through 8, which provides a list of documents to be produced pursuant to the Subpoena and in connection with the Debtor, Debtor's Family, and the 2004 Discovery Targets.\n\nI have carefully examined the official records and files of the DBS Bank Ltd, Los Angeles Representative Office with regard to the referenced matter. The results of my examination revealed no files, records, or documents (of any kind) under the name of the Debtor or any of the \"2004 Discovery Targets\". As stated hereinabove, I used the \"Request for Production of Documents\" as my guide and included all definitions listed in Section III (\"Definitions\") of the Request for Production of Documents as a reference point throughout my examination.\n\nBased on the foregoing, I can confirm that after a thorough examination of our files and records, no documents, records, or files have been found in connection with this matter. Should you desire some other form of reply other than an electronic response, please advise. The Subpoena documents did not contain a form of affidavit to verify the results of our examination, therefore I am sending this electronic response as promptly as time permits.\n\nGiven the foregoing, I ask that you withdraw your request for DBS Bank Ltd to appear at your offices at Neubert, Pepe & Monteith, P. C. in New Haven, CT on November 27, 2023 to provide testimony in connection with this matter.\n\nSincerely,\n\nRobert E Ward\n\nGeneral Counsel DBS Bank Ltd, Los Angeles Representative Office 300 South Grand Avenue Suite 3075 Los Angeles, CA 90071 (213) 627-0222 roberteward@dbs.com\n\n# CONFIDENTIAL NOTE:\n\nThe information contained in this email is intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

After researching our files, we are able to confirm that the attached subpoena was received in our office and our files underwent a diligent search in connection with the documents requested under Section 4, parts 1-8, from the date of February 5, 2012 to the present. Our research did not produce any communication or documents for the entities listed in the subpoena.\n\nAs I discussed on the phone with you in late August, DBS Bank Ltd is licensed by the State of California as a representative office for DBS Bank Ltd, and as such we maintain no customer bank accounts, bank loans, deposits, or retail banking activity from the Los Angeles Representative Office. While we hold no accounts for customers or corporate entities, we still undertake a search of our Operations Department upon receipt of a request via a subpoena and confirm the results of our search.\n\nin this case, it appears that there may have been a failed attempt to send a reply via e mail to Mr. Skalka at your firm.

Despins（卢克·A·德斯平斯）以其作为在 Ho Wan Kwok（“债务人”）第11章案件（“第11章案件”）中获任命的第11章受托人（“受托人”）的身份，现根据《联邦民事诉讼规则》（“联邦规则”）第26条和第37条，以及《联邦破产程序规则》（“破产程序规则”）第2004条和第9016条，提出本动议（“强制动议”），请求作出一项实质上采用随附命令草案（“拟议命令”）形式的命令，强制 DBS Bank Ltd（星展银行有限公司，以下简称“DBS”）遵守本院于2023年4月10日作出的《准许第11章受托人根据破产程序规则2004和地方法规2004-1提出的第四次补充综合动议，以授权就债务人的额外法律和财务顾问、与债务人关联的实体和个人以及相关银行进行取证的命令》（ECF No.1646，“规则2004命令”），以及受托人于2023年11月9日向 DBS 发出的传票及文件出示请求。\n\n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）（税务识别号后四位：9595）、Genever Holdings LLC（Genever 控股有限责任公司，税务识别号后四位：8202）及 Genever Holdings Corporation（Genever 控股公司）。受托人、Genever Holdings LLC 和 Genever Holdings Corporation 的邮寄地址为 Paul Hastings LLP（普衡律师事务所），200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166，收件人为 Luc A. Despins，作为 Ho Wan Kwok 遗产的受托人（仅用于通知和通信目的）。\n\n根据该命令向 DBS 发出，并作为附件A（“DBS传票”）随附于此。为支持强制动议，受托人谨陈述如下：\n\n事实背景\n\n1. 第11章受托人根据破产程序规则2004和地方法规2004-1提出的动议，请求授权就债务人的额外法律和财务顾问、与债务人关联的实体和个人以及相关银行进行取证（“第四次综合2004动议”），寻求就债务人的各类法律和财务顾问、与债务人关联的人员，以及与本案相关的、据认为债务人及与债务人有关的人员和实体在其中存入资金或进行金融交易的银行进行取证。\n\n2. 其本人在 DBS 持有大量资产，向 DBS 借款，并以其他方式与 DBS 及通过 DBS 开展业务。除其他事项外，受托人取得的文件和信息显示，Anton Development Limited（安东发展有限公司，以下简称“Anton Development”）和 Hong Kong International Funds Investment Limited（香港国际基金投资有限公司，以下简称“HK International”）名下在 DBS 开立的账户证明了这一点。Anton Development 和 HK International 均为债务人实益拥有或控制的空壳公司，且受托人的调查表明，该等公司代表债务人收取、持有和转移了价值数百万美元的现金及其他个人财产。2\n\n2 根据香港警方的说法，HK International 实际上由债务人控制，被债务人用于向若干其他由债务人控制的实体输送资金，以开展与香港证券交易所有关的投资项目，并且其全部资金均来自其他由债务人控制的公司。参见受托人修订后的对抗程序起诉书 [Adv. Proc. No. 22-05027 ECF No. 40]，第5-6页（对 HK International 作进一步详细讨论）。Anton Development 是一家曾拥有债务人的 Bombardier Global XRS 商务喷气机的空壳公司，该飞机及其收益是另一宗对抗程序的标的，即 Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Mei Guo（梅·郭）, Adv. Proc. No. 23-05008-JAM。\n\n3. 债务人在 JPMorgan Chase Bank（摩根大通银行，以下简称“JPMorgan账户”）开立的个人账户，以及 DBS 在香港维持的账户。3 受托人掌握两笔从债务人的 JPMorgan账户向 Anton Development 在 DBS 香港账户进行电汇的证据：(i) 2016年4月27日，金额为 $2.8 million；以及 (ii) 2016年12月29日，金额为 $3 million。受托人还掌握一笔从 Anton Development 在 DBS 香港的账户向债务人的 JPMorgan账户进行电汇的证据，日期为2016年11月8日，金额为 $399,973。此外，受托人掌握一笔从债务人的 JPMorgan账户向 HK International 在 DBS 香港持有的账户进行电汇的证据，金额为 $208,049。\n\n4. 基于上述及其他理由，受托人在其第四次规则2004动议中列入了 DBS。DBS 未对第四次规则2004动议提出异议，本院于2023年4月10日通过其规则2004命令准许了该动议。\n\n5. 于2023年4月18日在 DBS 位于加利福尼亚州洛杉矶的分行向 DBS 送达。4 受托人于2023年11月9日发出经修订的传票——下称 DBS传票（见附件A）——并于2023年11月13日在 DBS 位于加利福尼亚州洛杉矶的分行向 DBS 送达，5\n\n6. 在 DBS传票送达后，DBS 的律师向受托人的律师报告称，其已对“DBS Bank Ltd, Los Angeles Representative Office”的文件进行检索，且未发现任何回应性文件。参见 DBS 的 Robert Ward（罗伯特·沃德）于2023年11月13日致受托人律师的电子邮件。6 DBS 的律师对 DBS 检索回应性文件的情况说明如下：“由于记录出示传票是在洛杉矶代表处送达的，我对该办事处的记录进行了勤勉且详细的检索，并及时作出了答复。”参见 DBS 的 Robert Ward 于11月14日致受托人律师的电子邮件（着重号为原文所加），附件C。其进一步陈述：\n\n由于管理客户账户和记录的隐私法，即使我们持有每个实体的客户账户号码、名称和详细信息——如您所知，我们并未持有——我们也无法检索洛杉矶代表处以外的任何地点。\n\n* * *\n\nDBS Bank Ltd 是一家全球金融机构，在世界各地17个不同司法管辖区设有分支机构。每个地点均有各自的一套当地法律、政策和法规，规范其各自的运营。DBS 洛杉矶代表处对美国境外的任何 DBS 地点均不具有权限或控制权。每个司法管辖区均受银行监管机构和许可实体监管，该等机构和实体定期检查和审计各地点的运营，以确保严格合规。\n\n参见 Robert Ward 于11月15日致受托人律师的电子邮件，附件C。\n\n7. 受托人的律师答复称，该传票是向 DBS 发出的，并不限于由 DBS 洛杉矶分行保管的文件。参见受托人律师于2023年11月14日致 DBS 的 Robert Ward 的电子邮件往来，附件C。\n\n8. 在收到 DBS 表示其不会检索或出示 DBS 在洛杉矶分行以外的办事处或地点的任何记录后，受托人的律师请求电话会谈，以讨论 DBS 的立场。对于受托人律师提出的会谈请求，DBS 仅重申其立场，表明其不愿考虑受托人的立场，或以任何方式对其立场作出妥协。参见受托人律师与 Robert Ward 于2023年11月14日至15日之间的电子邮件往来，附件C。\n\n6 DBS 与受托人律师于2023年11月13日之间的电子邮件往来作为附件C随附于此。\n\n9. 最终，尽管 DBS 在美国有重要业务经营活动，并且 DBS 参与了从债务人的 JPMorgan账户汇出及汇入该账户的交易，DBS 仍拒绝在 DBS传票要求出示其美国境外地点文件的范围内遵守 DBS传票。因此提出本强制动议。\n\n管辖权与审判地\n\n10. 本院根据 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334 对审理本事项具有管辖权。根据 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409，审判地适当。根据包括 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2) (A), (E), and (O) 在内的规定，本案属于核心程序。\n\n请求的救济\n\n11. 受托人请求作出拟议命令，强制 DBS 在十四日内遵守 DBS传票。\n\n救济依据\n\n本院已责成受托人调查债务人的财务状况，并授权受托人使用破产程序规则2004取证\n\n12. DBS 必须遵守 DBS传票，并提供对受托人调查债务人的财务状况和事务具有关键重要性的文件和信息。受托人的任务是为债务人债权人的利益调查债务人的资产和事务。“规则2004审查的目的，是协助利害关系方确定破产财产的性质和范围、披露资产、审查交易，以及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)（省略内部引文和援引）。\n\n13. 这包括揭示破产财产的性质和范围，以及发现可能被故意或非故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)（“规则2004审查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。”）（省略内部引文和援引）；同上（指出“不同于传统取证仅狭窄地聚焦于与争议相关的问题，规则2004的范围广泛且不受限制，并被比作钓鱼式调查和审讯”）（省略内部援引和标点）；Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2004(b)（授权规则2004审查的范围“涉及……财产……和债务人的财务状况，或可能影响债务人破产财产管理的任何事项”）（着重号为原文所加）。\n\n14. 如上所述，DBS 几乎确定拥有回应 DBS传票的文件和信息。在受托人与 DBS 讨论后，受托人了解到，DBS 拒绝遵守 DBS传票的唯一依据是，受托人所寻求的记录据称保存在美国境外，并可能受外国隐私法约束。DBS 依赖外国法律以规避其遵守 DBS传票义务的做法并无根据。\n\nDBS 必须遵守传票，包括其声称位于境外的账户\n\n15. 第二巡回上诉法院多次强制外国实体出示文件，“尽管存在相竞争的外国法律义务。”Linde v. Arab Bank, PLC, 706 F.3d 92, 114-116 (2d Cir. 2013)；另见 United States v. Davis, 767 F.2d 1025, 1033-35 (2d Cir. 1985)；United States v. First Nat'l City Bank, 396 F.2d 897 (2d Cir. 1968)。本巡回区内的地区法院亦然。参见，例如，Nike, Inc. v. Wu, 349 F. Supp. 3d 346, 364 (S.D.N.Y 2018)；Strauss v. Credit Lyonnais, S.A., 249 F.R.D. 429, 456 (E.D.N.Y. 2008)；Weiss v. Nat'l Westminster Bank, PLC, 242 F.R.D. 33, 57-58 (E.D.N.Y. 2007)。\n\n16.\n\n349 F. Supp. 3d at 364.\n\n最高法院早已认识到，对于遵从美国证据开示命令将违反外国法律的当事人而言所面临的困难。外国法律的施行并不剥夺美国法院命令受其管辖的当事人提供证据的权力，即使提供该等证据的行为可能违反该法律。归根结底，地区法院拥有广泛的自由裁量权，可以其认为最有效的任何方式进行处理。\n\n同上（略去内部引证和引号）（引用 Société Internationale Pour Participations Industrielles et Commerciales, S.A.（国际工业及商业参与公司）v. Rogers（罗杰斯）, 357 U.S. 197, 204-211, 78 S. Ct. 1087, 2 L. Ed. 2d 1255 (1958)）；另见 Linde, 706 F.3d at 109。\n\n17. 在 Linde v. Arab Bank, PLC（阿拉伯银行）一案中，Second Circuit（第二巡回上诉法院）采纳了《重述》中的一项衡量标准，用以规范法院“作出可能违反外国法律的证据开示命令”的自由裁量权。Nike, Inc.（耐克公司）v. Wu（吴）, 349 F. Supp. 3d at 364。\n\n《美国对外关系法第三次重述》第 442 条规定，在决定是否就位于国外的信息发出提供命令时，法院应考虑：[1]“所请求的文件或其他信息对于调查或诉讼的重要性；[2] 请求的具体程度；[3] 该信息是否源自美国；[4] 获得该信息的替代方式是否可行；以及[5] 不遵从该请求将在何种程度上损害美国的重要利益，或者遵从该请求将在何种程度上损害该信息所在地国家的重要利益。”Restatement § 442(1)(c)。本巡回区的判例表明，在决定是否施加制裁时，地区法院还应审查：[6] 面临相互冲突法律义务的当事人所承受的困难，以及[7] 该当事人是否已表明其在履行证据开示义务时具有善意。\n\nLinde, 706 F.3d at 109-10；另见 Laydon v. Mizuho Bank, Ltd（瑞穗银行）, 183 F.Supp.3d 409, 420 (S.D.N.Y. 2016)（对各因素编号）。\n\n18. 根据 Linde 的衡量标准，结果强烈倾向于支持受托人。\n\n19. 对调查的重要性。受托人寻求的文件和信息对于其调查至关重要。DBS 是数百万美元的来源或接收方，该等资金在债务人的一个私人账户与由债务人控制的空壳公司持有的账户之间流转。受托人必须查明这些资金来自何处以及其后发生了什么。此外，受托人在处理过债务人资产的其他金融机构方面的经验表明，债务人或由其控制或与其结盟的个人或实体，可能在 DBS 持有其他资产。该等信息同样是了解债务人财务状况所必需的。因此，第一项因素有利于受托人。\n\n20. 请求的具体性。DBS 传票中所列的文件请求具体针对债务人以及与其直接相关或有关联的某些个人和实体。因此，该因素同样支持强制提供。\n\n21. 信息所在地。DBS 是一家总部设在新加坡、在美国拥有重要业务经营并在世界各地设有分支机构的全球金融服务公司。DBS 通过其香港分行参与了使用相关账户的交易。在 DBS 拥有位于海外的其他文件和信息的范围内，其有能力将其传送至美国。其现不得藐视 DBS 传票而拒绝这样做。该因素支持受托人。\n\n22. 获得信息的替代方式是否可行。DBS 拒绝超出其洛杉矶分行的范围进行查找，这暗示受托人应通过在海外法域聘请律师、启动承认程序，以及在众多外国法域寻求文件提供的方式，在国外寻求证据。或者，受托人可通过《海牙取证公约》在世界各地寻求证据。两项建议均不构成可行的替代方案，因为任何一项都会造成这些破产财产无力承担的延误和费用。相反，《联邦规则》和《破产规则》为受托人获得文件提供了更为简单、廉价且快捷的机制。“与《联邦民事诉讼规则》相比，《海牙公约》所规定的证据开示程序……既非从外国实体获得证据开示的唯一方式，甚至也不必然是首要方式。”In re Flag Telecom Holdings, Ltd. Sec. Litig., 236 F.R.D. 177, 182 (S.D.N.Y. 2006)；另见 Valois of Am, Inc. v. Risdon Corp., 183 F.R.D. 344, 349 (D. Conn. 1997)（指出“普遍认为，《海牙公约》下的程序远比《联邦民事诉讼规则》下的程序繁琐”）。由于 DBS 甚至不确认其主张受托人需要在何处寻求该等文件，为确保完全遵从，受托人将被要求在世界各地数十个国家开展《海牙公约》取证或启动承认程序。这些并非现实的替代方案。\n\n23. 如法院最近所认定，延误和费用均会对受托人的调查、从而对这些破产财产造成极大不利影响。见禁令裁决第 32-33 页（“该延误尤其有害，因为可能不存在足以补偿该延误的充分法律救济。第 11 章受托人无法在没有破产财产资产的情况下聘请专业人士协助调查，而在调查持续延误期间，破产财产资产可能被置于债权人无法触及的范围之外。”）。不存在可行替代方案，支持强制 DBS 通过提供其在美国境内和境外所有地点的全部相关文件而予以遵从。\n\n24. 不遵从将损害美国的重要利益。美国对于确保允许受托人勤勉调查债务人的财务事务具有关键利益。法院已多次确认受托人调查对于这些破产财产的重要性。例如，见禁令裁决第 38、39、41 页。受托人的调查对于确保债权人最终可以从根据联邦破产法正当属于这些财产的财产中获得追偿至关重要。\n\n25. 受托人的调查不仅对于这些财产及其债权人的利益十分重要，而且对于确保破产程序的完整性也十分重要。法院在任命受托人时确认了这一点，并继续确认该利益。见同上，第 54-55 页（指出受托人是“法院工作人员”，并讨论破产程序的完整性）。其他法院同样确认了该利益的重要性。例如，见 In re RnD Eng'g, LLC, 556 B.R. 303, 313 (E.D. Mich. 2016)（“破产程序的完整性是法院的重要考量因素”）。因此，该因素也支持强制提供。\n\n26. 困难和善意。为将困难主张为不遵从的抗辩，DBS 必须“证明受到民事和/或刑事处罚的可能性并非仅属推测。”CE Int'l Res. Holdings, LLC v. S.A. Minerals Ltd. P'ship, 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 85650, \\*41-42 (S.D.N.Y. June 11, 2013)。DBS 未作出任何此类证明；鉴于包括其在美国的经营活动及其参与相关交易在内的因素，其也无法作出此类证明。相比之下，DBS 主张的任何不利影响可通过法院命令其遵从 DBS 传票，以及第 11 章案件中此前作出的保护令 [ECF No. 923] 得以减轻。\n\n27. 由于所有相关因素均支持执行 DBS 传票，法院应强制 DBS 遵从。\n\n28. 除 Second Circuit 在上述 Linde 判决中确定的因素外，法院还应考虑，DBS 拒绝在其洛杉矶分行控制范围内的文件之外查找或提供相关文件，并不保护任何人的隐私利益。\n\n29. 就债务人而言，受托人取代其地位，并有权取得其记录。就 HK International 和 Anton Development 而言，两实体均已被认定为债务人的替身实体或由债务人实益拥有，且两者均为本程序中证据开示的对象。若其愿意，任一实体本可对第一份综合 2004 动议提出异议，或提出动议撤销 DBS 传票。\n\n30. 无论如何，命令 DBS 提供对 DBS 传票作出回应的文件和信息的法院命令将充分保护 DBS。法院应当在不再进一步延误和损害这些破产财产的情况下作出该命令。\n\n此前未提出请求\n\n31. 受托人此前未向本法院或任何其他法院寻求本文件所请求的救济。\n\n律师证明\n\n32. 如上所述，并如随附提交的 Patrick R. Linsey（帕特里克·R·林赛）声明所载，受托人的律师已与 DBS 的律师进行善意协商，试图解决该争议，但未成功。\n\n[本页剩余部分特意留白]\n\n因此，基于上述理由，受托人谨请求法院作出拟议命令，准予本强制动议所请求的救济及其他公正且适当的救济。\n\n日期：November 29, 2023　New Haven, Connecticut　LUC A.
