**INSTRUCTIONS**\n\nThe filing of a bankruptcy case creates an \"estate\" under the jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court which consists of all of the property of the debtor, wherever that property is located. Because the bankruptcy estate is so extensive and the jurisdiction of the court so broad, there may be lawsuits over the property or property rights of the estate. There also may be lawsuits concerning the debtor's discharge. If such a lawsuit is filed in a bankruptcy court, it is called an adversary proceeding.\n\nA party filing an adversary proceeding must also must complete and file Form 1040, the Adversary Proceeding Cover Sheet, unless the party files the adversary proceeding electronically through the court's Case Management/Electronic Case Filing system (CM/ECF). (CM/ECF captures the information on Form 1040 as part of the filing process.) When completed, the cover sheet summarizes basic information on the adversary proceeding. The clerk of court needs the information to process the adversary proceeding and prepare required statistical reports on court activity.\n\nThe cover sheet and the information contained on it do not replace or supplement the filing and service of pleadings or other papers as required by law, the Bankruptcy Rules, or the local rules of court. The cover sheet, which is largely selfexplanatory, must be completed by the plaintiff's attorney (or by the plaintiff if the plaintiff is not represented by an attorney). A separate cover sheet must be submitted to the clerk for each complaint filed.\n\n**Plaintiffs** and **Defendants.** Give the names of the plaintiffs and defendants exactly as they appear on the complaint.\n\n**Attorneys.** Give the names and addresses of the attorneys, if known.\n\n**Party**. Check the most appropriate box in the first column for the plaintiffs and the second column for the defendants.\n\n**Demand.** Enter the dollar amount being demanded in the complaint.\n\n**Signature.** This cover sheet must be signed by the attorney of record in the box on the second page of the form. If the plaintiff is represented by a law firm, a member of the firm must sign. If the plaintiff is pro se, that is, not represented by an attorney, the plaintiff must sign.\n\n# **UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT BRIDGEPORT DIVISION**\n\n| -----------------------------------------------------------            | x                                                                                                                                                        |\n|------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| :<br>:                                                                 | Chapter 11                                                                                                                                               |\n| :                                                                      | Case No. 22-50073 (JAM)                                                                                                                                  |\n| Debtors.<br>:                                                          | (Jointly Administered)                                                                                                                                   |\n| :<br>LUC A.

The Trustee commences this adversary proceeding to avoid and recover transfers of the Debtor's property prior to the commencement of this Chapter 11 Case.\n\n2. The Debtor, through his alter-ego shell company, G Club International Limited (\"GClub\"), transferred funds in the amount of \\$832,000.75 prior to the Petition Date (as defined herein) to the Defendant as initial transferee.\n\n3. These transfers were actually fraudulent, because the Debtor effectuated them as part of his \"shell game,\" and they were made with the intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud the Debtor's creditors.\n\n### **JURISDICTION AND VENUE**\n\n4. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this adversary proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1334(b).\n\n5. This adversary proceeding has been referred to this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §157(a).\n\n6. The statutory predicates for the relief sought herein include sections 544, 548 and 550 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the \"Bankruptcy Code\") and New York Debtor & Creditor Law sections 273, 274, and 276 <sup>2</sup> or any other applicable state law equivalents.\n\n<sup>2</sup> All statutory references to New York Debtor and Creditor Law will hereinafter be referred to as \"N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law\". The New York Uniform Voidable Transactions Act (\"NYUVT\") replaced the New York Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (\"NYUFC\") and became effective on April 4, 2020 and applies to transfers made or obligations incurred on or after April 4, 2020. With respect to transfers prior to April 4, 2020, the Trustee seeks relief in this action under the NYUFC and N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law sections 273, 273a, 275, 276 and 278.\n\n### **THE PARTIES**\n\n7. The Trustee is the chapter 11 trustee in the Chapter 11 Case pursuant to the Bankruptcy Court's order entered on July 8, 2022 [Case No. 22-50073 (the \"Main Case\") Docket No. 523].\n\n8. The Defendant is a Texas limited liability company with an address at 601 S Central Expressway, Richardson, Texas 75080-7409.\n\n### **FACTS**\n\n#### **A. Chapter 11 Case**\n\n9. The Debtor filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the \"Bankruptcy Code\") on February 15, 2022 (the \"Petition Date\") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut (the \"Court\" or \"Bankruptcy Court\"), thus commencing the above-captioned chapter 11 case (the \"Chapter 11 Case\").\n\n10. On March 21, 2002, the Office of the United States Trustee appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in this Chapter 11 Case. No examiner has been appointed.\n\n11. The Debtor's bankruptcy schedules, filed in March 2022 with the Bankruptcy Court, claimed that he owned \\$3,850 in assets and had incurred hundreds of millions of dollars of liabilities.<sup>3</sup> While the Debtor was, indeed, deeply indebted, his schedules failed to disclose the Debtor's property as held and transferred through his many alter-ego shell companies, including Gclub.\n\n<sup>3</sup> Schedule of Assets and Liabilities, at 1 (Main Case, Docket No. 78).\n\n12. On June 15, 2022, the Court entered a memorandum of decision and order [Main Case Docket No. 465] directing the United States Trustee to appoint a chapter 11 trustee in the Chapter 11 Case. Pursuant to this 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 [Main Case Docket No. 523].\n\n### **B. Debtor's Use of Shell Companies and Trustee's Adversary Proceedings**\n\n13. Gclub is among the numerous alter-ego shell companies used by the Debtor to hinder, delay and/or defraud his creditors.<sup>4</sup> For years, the Debtor has orchestrated a \"shell game,\" employing a convoluted web of shell companies, nominally owned by family members and/or known subordinates, but in reality, controlled by the Debtor. This shell game enabled the Debtor to use and spend and/or transfer millions of dollars of cash and other assets while concealing his property from creditors.\n\n14. Since his appointment, the Trustee has commenced a number of adversary proceedings in the Chapter 11 Case to, among other things, establish that the Debtor's shell companies were his alter-egos and/or that such companies and their assets were equitably owned by the Debtor and in several adversary proceedings the Bankruptcy Court has already granted such relief.<sup>5</sup>\n\n<sup>4</sup> The Trustee has or will imminently commence an adversary proceeding against G Club, which adversary proceeding seeks, among other things, a declaratory judgment that G Club was the alter ego[s] of the Debtor. The Trustee incorporates by reference herein, the Trustee's Complaint filed in such adversary proceeding.\n\n<sup>5</sup> These include the following adversary proceedings: (i) *Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC, et al.* [Adv. Proc. No. 22-05003]; (ii) *Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Greenwich Land LLC, et al.* [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05005]; (iii) *Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Mei Guo* [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05008]; (iv) *Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. HCHK Technologies, Inc., et al.* [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05013]; (v) *Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Taurus Fund LLC, et al.* [Adv. Proc. No. 23- 05017]; (vi) *Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Golden Spring (New York) Limited* [Adv. Proc. 23-05018]; and (vii) *Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Lamp Capital LLC, et al.* [Adv. Proc. 23-05023].\n\n15. The fact patterns in these litigations consistently involve: (i) Debtor-controlled shell companies held by close family members and/or subordinates, (ii) assets purchased with cash from other Debtor-controlled entities and/or transferred to and among shell entities for no consideration, and (iii) the Debtor benefiting from and having control and dominion over such assets.\n\n#### **C. Debtor's Conduct to Hinder, Delay and/or Defraud Creditors**\n\n16. In addition to the matters addressed in the Trustee's adversary proceedings, the Bankruptcy Court has found that the Debtor was the beneficial owner of Ace Decade Limited (and through it, Dawn State Limited) and that the Debtor controlled and employed Ace Decade Limited's nominee shareholder, Yvette Wang.<sup>6</sup>\n\n17. The Bankruptcy Court has also found that the \"G Entities\" (Gettr, G Fashion, G Music, Gclubs, GNews and Gedu), the New Federal State of China and the Rule of Law Foundation, as well as other purportedly independent entities and organizations, were controlled by the Debtor<sup>7</sup> , led by the Debtor<sup>8</sup> and/or served \"the purposes of… and as business vehicles of\" the Debtor.<sup>9</sup>\n\n18. Prior to the Petition Date, Judge Liman of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York found that Eastern Profit Corporation Limited, an entity originally\n\n<sup>6</sup> *Order Granting Motion to Hold Debtor in Contempt of Corporate Governance Order,* para.1, 4 (Jan. 24, 2023, Docket No. 1372 (\"Corp. Governance Contempt Order\").\n\n<sup>7</sup> *Corrected Memorandum of Decision Granting in Part Motion for Preliminary Injunction*, para. 3 (Adv. Proc. No. 22-05032, January 13, 2023 (\"The Debtor also controls Saraca Media Group and a related entity 'GTV'\").\n\n<sup>8</sup> *Id*. at para. 7 (\"The Debtor is the leader of The Whistleblower Movement, NFSC, ROLF and Himalaya.\").\n\n<sup>9</sup> *Id*. (\"The Whistleblower Movement, NFSC, ROLF, GSeries, and Himalaya serve the purposes of the Debtor, serve as business vehicles for the Debtor, and their members are personally loyal to the Debtor.\").\n\nowned by one of Debtor's chauffeurs before its transfer to Debtor's daughter, was \"in essence, a shell corporation\" for the Debtor.<sup>10</sup>\n\n19. The Debtor has gone to great lengths to hinder and delay the collection efforts of one of his largest creditors, *i.e.*, Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund, L.P. (\"PAX\"). In 2017, PAX sued the Debtor in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (the \"New York Court\"), Index No. 652077/2017 (the \"PAX Case\"), seeking judgment for monies owed. On February 3, 2021, PAX obtained a judgment from the New York Court against the Debtor in the sum of \\$116,402,019.57 (the \"PAX Judgment\"). PAX sought to enforce the PAX Judgment by levying the Debtor's assets—including the Lady May, which the Debtor falsely claimed was owned by his daughter, and the Debtor's luxury apartment in Manhattan, which the Debtor falsely claimed was held in trust for the Debtor's son. The Debtor's defiance of New York Court orders in postjudgment proceedings eventually resulted in the Debtor incurring contempt penalties of \\$134 million.\n\n20. The Debtor also used his alter egos, including Gclub, as personal piggy-banks, funding the lavish lifestyle to which he and his family had become accustomed, while concealing assets in these alter egos from his creditors and hindering and delaying creditors from recoveries on their claims. The transfers that the Debtor effectuated through these alter egos effectuated the Debtor's fraudulent scheme.\n\n<sup>10</sup> *Eastern Profit Corp. Ltd. v. Strategic Vision US LLC*, No. 18-CV-2185 (LJL) 2021 WL 2554631, at \\*1 (S.D.N.Y. June 22, 2021).\n\n21. The Debtor has testified before the Bankruptcy Court that he has insufficient assets to pay his liabilities and that his luxurious lifestyle is funded by his family through businesses nominally held by family members.<sup>11</sup> The Debtor scheduled only \\$3,850 in assets.<sup>12</sup>\n\n22. In March 2023, the Debtor was arrested and remains confined pending his on federal criminal charges of, among other things, wire fraud, securities fraud, and money laundering.\n\n23. In its criminal indictment of the Debtor, the United States Government asserts that the Debtor and his co-defendants \"utilized more than approximately 500 accounts held in the names of *at least 80 different entities or individuals* to launder more than \\$1 billion in fraud proceeds.\"<sup>13</sup>\n\n24. The property of the Debtor's alter egos, including Gclub, was at all times prior to the Petition Date property of the Debtor.\n\n25. At all times relevant herein, the Debtor conducted business in New York, New York, including direction of the Transfers.\n\n### **D. Transfers Made with Intent to Hinder, Delay, or Defraud Creditors**\n\n26. The Transfers at issue in this Complaint were made with the intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud the Debtor's creditors inasmuch as they were all made through the Debtor's alterego shell companies operated as a part of the Debtor's shell game.\n\n<sup>11</sup> Hearing on Debtor's Motion for Entry of Interim and Final DIP Orders (I) Authorizing the Debtor to Obtain Unsecured, Subordinated Postpetition Financing and (II) Scheduling Interim and Final Hearings, and (III) Granting Related Relief (Main Case, April 27, 2022)\n\n<sup>12</sup> *See* n.3\n\n<sup>13</sup> See Memorandum of Law of the United States of America in Opposition to Defendant Yanping Wang's Motion for Pretrial Release at 29, attached as Exhibit B in the Reply of Chapter 11 Trustee to G Club Operations LLC's Supplemental Objection to Trustee's Motion to Compel and Request for Related Relief (June 23, 2023, Main Case Docket No. 1934).\n\n27. The Debtor intentionally orchestrated his financial affairs in this manner in order to conceal and dissipate millions of dollars in assets while falsely pleading poverty to his many creditors. The Debtor claimed to be destitute while simultaneously spending heavily to maintain a billionaire lifestyle for himself and for his family members and close associates.\n\n28. The assets concealed and dissipated by the Debtor included funds that he obtained from the victims of his cryptocurrency, securities, and other fraud schemes. As a result of this conduct, the Debtor faces multiple felony fraud, money laundering, and racketeering charges in a criminal case pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. *See United States v. Ho Wan Kwok*, case no. 1:23-cr-00118-AT [ECF No. 215] (Jan. 3, 2024 S.D.N.Y.).\n\n29. The Debtor knew and intended that by concealing and dissipating his assets in this manner there would not be sufficient assets remaining to repay his creditors—including the many victims of his frauds. These transfers were thus necessarily made with the intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud the Debtor's creditors.\n\n30. The Defendant markets and sells luxury and performance automotive brand vehicles, including, Czinger, Bentley, Maserati and Alfa Romeo.\n\n31. The Transfers at issue here were part of the Debtor's practice of dissipating his assets through spending on luxury goods and services. This spending on luxury items was particularly egregious considering that the Debtor was dissipating the proceeds of his frauds.\n\n32. Even while the Debtor claimed to be penniless to his creditors, he simultaneously used his luxurious lifestyle as a marketing tool to promote his fraudulent schemes. Among the many examples of this strategy was the Debtor's \"Hcoin to the Moon\" music video, in which the\n\n8\n\nDebtor flaunts extravagant personal property—including yachts, sports cars, suits, cigars, and home furnishings—to promote investment in one of his fraudulent cryptocurrency ventures.<sup>14</sup>\n\n33. This further reflects the Debtor's fraudulent intent with respect to the Transfers.\n\n## **E. Transfers to the Defendant**\n\n34. Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor, through shell companies including Gclub, or otherwise, transferred the Debtor's property to the Defendant (collectively, the \"Transfers\"), including, without limitation, as follows:\n\nSee **SCHEDULE A** attached hereto and made a part hereof.\n\n35. At the time of the Transfers, the Debtor had outstanding obligations to creditors of the Debtor's estate.\n\n36. The Defendant was the initial transferee of the Transfers.\n\n## **FIRST CLAIM**\n\n# **(Claim to Avoid and Recover Actual Fraudulent Transfers Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code §§ 548(a)(1)(A) and 550(a))**\n\n37. The Trustee repeats and realleges the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-36 as if fully set forth herein.\n\n38. The Transfers were made by the Debtor through his alter ego, Gclub, with the actual intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud his creditors.\n\n39. The Debtor's intent to hinder, delay, or and/or defraud his creditors in effectuating\n\nthe Transfers is shown by, among other things:\n\na. The Transfers were effectuated using an alter-ego shell company;\n\n<sup>14</sup> *See* http (last visited Jan. 25, 2024). The Debtor published this music video on YouTube in December of 2021, roughly two months prior to the Petition Date.\n\nb. The Transfers were concealed from the Debtor's creditors;\n\nc. The Transfers were effectuated as part of the Debtor's \"shell game\" with the aid of the Debtor's family members and other lieutenants and subordinates that he controlled in an effort to conceal and shield assets;\n\nd. The Transfers furthered the Debtor's fraudulent conduct by enabling the Debtor to benefit from his fraud without subjecting his property to the reach of his creditors;\n\n- e. The Transfers furthered the Debtor's fraudulent conduct by enabling the Debtor to profit from his fraud without subjecting his property to the reach of his creditors;\n- f. At the time of the Transfers, the Debtor was being sued, including by PAX in the PAX Case; and\n\t- g. At the time of the Transfers, the Debtor was insolvent or undercapitalized.\n\n40. The Transfers are avoidable by the Trustee pursuant to Section 548(a)(i)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code and are recoverable pursuant to Section 550(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n### **SECOND CLAIM**\n\n## **(Claim to Avoid and Recover Actual Fraudulent Transfers pursuant to N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law sections 273, 274, and 276, and Bankruptcy Code sections 544(b) and 550(a))**\n\n41. The Trustee repeats and realleges the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-36 as if fully set forth herein.\n\n42. The Transfers were made by the Debtor, through his alter ego companies, Gclub, with the actual intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud his creditors.\n\n43. The Debtor's intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud his creditors in effectuating the Transfers is shown by, among other things:\n\na. The Transfers were effectuated using an alter-ego shell company;\n\nb. The Transfers were concealed from the Debtor's creditors;\n\nc. The Transfers were effectuated as part of the Debtor's \"shell game\" with the aid of the Debtor's family members and other lieutenants and subordinates that he controlled in an effort to conceal and shield assets;\n\nd.

The Transfers furthered the Debtor's fraudulent conduct by enabling the Debtor to profit from his fraud without subjecting his property to the reach of his creditors;\n\nf. At the time of the Transfers, the Debtor was being sued, including by PAX in the PAX Case; and\n\ng. At the time of the Transfers, the Debtor was insolvent or undercapitalized.\n\n44. The Transfers are avoidable by the Trustee pursuant to N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law sections 273(a)(1), 274, and 276, and section 544(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and recoverable pursuant to section 550(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n*[THE REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY BLANK.]*\n\n#### **PRAYER FOR RELIEF**\n\nWHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, the Trustee respectfully requests that judgment be entered as follows:\n\n1.

Despins（卢克·A.·德斯平斯）以其作为在 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）（“债务人”或“Kwok”）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，提交本\n\n1 本第 11 章案件中的债务人为 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）（亦称 Guo Wengui、Miles Guo 及 Miles Kwok，以及众多其他别名）（税务识别号后四位：9595）、Genever Holdings LLC（税务识别号后四位：8202）及 Genever Holdings Corporation。受托人、Genever Holdings LLC 及 Genever Holdings Corporation 的邮寄地址为 Paul Hastings LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166，收件人为 Luc A.

Law 第 273、273a、275、276 和 278 条寻求救济。\n\n当事人\n\n7. 根据破产法院于 2022 年 7 月 8 日作出的命令 [案件编号 22-50073（“主案件”）案卷编号 523]，受托人为第 11 章案件中的第 11 章受托人。\n\n8. 被告是一家得克萨斯州有限责任公司，地址为 601 S Central Expressway, Richardson, Texas 75080-7409。\n\n事实\n\nA. 第 11 章案件\n\n9. 债务人于 2022 年 2 月 15 日（“申请日”）在 United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut（美国康涅狄格联邦破产法院）（“本院”或“破产法院”）根据《美国法典》第 11 编（“破产法典”）第 11 章提交自愿破产救济申请，从而启动上述标题所列第 11 章案件（“第 11 章案件”）。\n\n10. 2002 年 3 月 21 日，Office of the United States Trustee（美国受托人办公室）在本第 11 章案件中任命了一个无担保债权人正式委员会。尚未任命审查员。\n\n11. 债务人于 2022 年 3 月向破产法院提交的破产财产清单称，其拥有 \\$3,850 的资产，并承担了数亿美元的负债。3 尽管债务人确实负债累累，但其财产清单未披露债务人通过其众多另我空壳公司（包括 Gclub）持有和转让的财产。\n\n3 《资产和负债清单》，第 1 页（主案件，案卷编号 78）。\n\n12. 2022 年 6 月 15 日，本院作出决定备忘录和命令 [主案件案卷编号 465]，指示美国受托人在第 11 章案件中任命一名第 11 章受托人。根据该命令，美国受托人选定 Luc A. Despins 为受托人。2022 年 7 月 8 日，本院作出命令，批准任命 Luc A. Despins 为第 11 章案件中的受托人 [主案件案卷编号 523]。\n\nB. 债务人对空壳公司的使用及受托人的对抗性程序\n\n13. Gclub 是债务人用于阻碍、拖延和／或欺诈其债权人的众多另我空壳公司之一。4 多年来，债务人策划了一场“空壳把戏”，使用由家族成员和／或已知下属名义持有、但实际上由债务人控制的复杂空壳公司网络。该空壳把戏使债务人得以使用、支出和／或转让数百万美元现金及其他资产，同时向债权人隐瞒其财产。\n\n14. 自获任命以来，受托人已在第 11 章案件中提起多项对抗性程序，以实现包括确立债务人的空壳公司为其另我和／或该等公司及其资产在衡平法上归债务人所有在内的目的；且在数项对抗性程序中，破产法院已准予该等救济。5\n\n4 受托人已对或将立即对 G Club 提起对抗性程序；该对抗性程序寻求的救济包括确认判决，确认 G Club 为债务人的另我。受托人将其在该对抗性程序中提交的起诉状通过援引纳入本文。\n\n5 这些对抗程序包括如下案件：(i) Luc A. Despins（卢克·A·德斯平斯），第11章受托人 v. HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC（香港国际基金投资（美国）有限公司）等 [Adv. Proc. No. 22-05003]；(ii) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人 v. Greenwich Land LLC（格林尼治土地有限责任公司）等 [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05005]；(iii) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人 v. Mei Guo（郭梅）[Adv. Proc. No. 23-05008]；(iv) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人 v. HCHK Technologies, Inc.（HCHK科技公司）等 [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05013]；(v) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人 v. Taurus Fund LLC（金牛基金有限责任公司）等 [Adv. Proc. No. 23- 05017]；(vi) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人 v. Golden Spring (New York) Limited（金泉〔纽约〕有限公司）[Adv. Proc. 23-05018]；以及 (vii) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人 v. Lamp Capital LLC（蓝普资本有限责任公司）等 [Adv. Proc. 23-05023]。\n\n15. 这些诉讼中的事实模式始终涉及：(i) 由近亲和/或下属持有的、由债务人控制的空壳公司，(ii) 以来自其他由债务人控制的实体的现金购买，和/或无对价转让给及在空壳实体之间转让的资产，以及 (iii) 债务人从该等资产中受益并对其拥有控制权和支配权。\n\nC. 债务人为阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债权人而实施的行为\n\n16. 除受托人在对抗程序中处理的事项外，破产法院还认定，债务人是 Ace Decade Limited（艾斯十年有限公司）（并通过该公司为 Dawn State Limited（黎明州有限公司））的受益所有人，且债务人控制并利用了 Ace Decade Limited 的名义股东 Yvette Wang（王悦）。6\n\n17. 破产法院还认定，“G Entities”（G实体）（Gettr、G Fashion、G Music、Gclubs、GNews 和 Gedu）、New Federal State of China（新中国联邦）和 Rule of Law Foundation（法治基金会），以及其他表面上独立的实体和组织，均受债务人控制7 、由债务人领导8 和/或服务于债务人的“目的……并作为债务人的商业工具”。9\n\n18. 在申请日之前，United States District Court for the Southern District of New York（纽约南区美国联邦地区法院）的 Liman 法官认定，Eastern Profit Corporation Limited（东方利润有限公司）——一家原由债务人的一名司机持有、后转让给债务人女儿的实体——“实质上是”债务人的一家空壳公司。10\n\n6 批准动议、认定债务人藐视公司治理命令的裁定，第1、4段（Jan. 24, 2023, Docket No. 1372（“公司治理藐视法庭裁定”）。\n\n7 经更正的部分批准初步禁令动议的决定备忘录，第3段（Adv. Proc. No. 22-05032, January 13, 2023（“债务人还控制 Saraca Media Group（萨拉卡媒体集团）及关联实体‘GTV’”）。\n\n8 同上，第7段（“债务人是 The Whistleblower Movement（爆料革命）、NFSC、ROLF 和 Himalaya（喜马拉雅）的领导人。”）。\n\n9 同上。（“The Whistleblower Movement、NFSC、ROLF、GSeries 和 Himalaya 服务于债务人的目的，作为债务人的商业工具，其成员个人忠于债务人。”）。\n\n19. 债务人为阻碍和拖延其最大债权人之一，即 Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund, L.P.（太平洋联盟亚洲机会基金有限合伙企业）（“PAX”）的追偿工作，不遗余力。2017年，PAX 在 Supreme Court of the State of New York（纽约州最高法院）（“纽约法院”）对债务人提起诉讼，Index No. 652077/2017（“PAX案件”），请求就所欠款项作出判决。2021年2月3日，PAX 从纽约法院取得针对债务人的 $116,402,019.57 判决（“PAX判决”）。PAX 试图通过扣押债务人的资产来执行PAX判决——包括 Lady May（梅夫人号），债务人虚假声称其由其女儿所有；以及债务人在 Manhattan（曼哈顿）的豪华公寓，债务人虚假声称其系为债务人的儿子以信托形式持有。债务人在判决后程序中违抗纽约法院命令，最终导致债务人承担 $134 million 的藐视法庭罚金。\n\n20. 债务人还将其另一个自我实体，包括 Gclub，作为个人钱袋使用，为其本人及家人已习惯的奢华生活方式提供资金，同时将资产隐藏于这些另一个自我实体中以规避其债权人，并阻碍和拖延债权人就其债权获得清偿。债务人通过这些另一个自我实体实施的转让，促成了债务人的欺诈计划。\n\n10 Eastern Profit Corp.

June 22, 2021).\n\n21. 债务人已在破产法院作证称，其资产不足以清偿其负债，且其奢华生活方式由其家人通过名义上由家庭成员持有的企业提供资金。11 债务人在其资产清单中仅列报 $3,850 的资产。12\n\n22. 2023年3月，债务人被逮捕，并因包括电信欺诈、证券欺诈和洗钱在内的联邦刑事指控而一直被羁押候审。\n\n23. 美国政府在对债务人的刑事起诉书中主张，债务人及其共同被告“利用以至少80个不同实体或个人名义持有的约500多个账户，洗白逾 $1 billion 的欺诈所得。”13\n\n24. 债务人另一个自我实体的财产，包括 Gclub，在申请日前的任何时候均为债务人的财产。\n\n25. 在与本案有关的所有期间，债务人在 New York, New York（纽约州纽约市）从事商业活动，包括指挥该等转让。\n\nD. 为阻碍、拖延或欺诈债权人而实施的转让\n\n26. 本起诉状所涉转让均系通过作为债务人空壳把戏一部分而运营的债务人另一个自我空壳公司作出，因而具有阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债务人债权人的意图。\n\n11 关于债务人请求作出临时及最终DIP命令的动议的听证会：(I) 授权债务人取得无担保、次级的申请后融资；(II) 安排临时及最终听证会；以及 (III) 给予相关救济（主案，April 27, 2022）\n\n12 见脚注3\n\n13 见 United States of America（美利坚合众国）反对被告 Yanping Wang（王燕平）审前释放动议的法律备忘录第29页，作为 Exhibit B 附于第11章受托人就 G Club Operations LLC（G Club运营有限责任公司）对受托人强制执行动议及相关救济请求提出的补充异议所作答复（June 23, 2023, Main Case Docket No. 1934）。\n\n27. 债务人故意以此种方式安排其财务事务，以便隐藏和耗散数百万美元资产，同时向其众多债权人虚假声称贫困。债务人声称自己一贫如洗，却同时大肆花费，以维持其本人、其家庭成员及密切同事的亿万富翁生活方式。\n\n28. 债务人隐藏和耗散的资产包括其从加密货币、证券及其他欺诈计划的受害者处取得的资金。由于该等行为，债务人在纽约南区美国联邦地区法院待决的一宗刑事案件中面临多项重罪欺诈、洗钱和敲诈勒索指控。见 United States v. Ho Wan Kwok（美利坚合众国诉郭文贵）, case no. 1:23-cr-00118-AT [ECF No. 215] (Jan. 3, 2024 S.D.N.Y.)。\n\n29. 债务人明知并意图通过以此种方式隐藏和耗散其资产，将不会留下足够资产偿还其债权人——包括其欺诈行为的众多受害者。因此，该等转让必然系带有阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债务人债权人的意图而作出。\n\n30. 被告营销和销售豪华及高性能汽车品牌车辆，包括 Czinger、Bentley、Maserati 和 Alfa Romeo。\n\n31. 本案所涉转让是债务人通过购买奢侈品和服务耗散其资产这一惯例的一部分。鉴于债务人正在耗散其欺诈所得，该等奢侈品支出尤其令人震惊。\n\n32. 即使债务人向其债权人声称自己身无分文，他仍同时将其奢华生活方式作为营销工具，以推广其欺诈计划。该策略的众多例证之一是债务人的“Hcoin to the Moon”音乐视频，债务人在该视频中炫耀奢侈的个人财产——包括游艇、跑车、西装、雪茄和家居陈设——以推广对其一项欺诈性加密货币项目的投资。14\n\n33. 这进一步反映了债务人就该等转让所具有之欺诈意图。\n\nE. 向被告作出的转让\n\n34. 在申请日之前，债务人通过包括 Gclub 在内的空壳公司，或以其他方式，向被告转让债务人的财产（统称“该等转让”），包括但不限于如下：\n\n见随附并构成本文件一部分的附表A。\n\n35. 在该等转让时，债务人对债务人财产的债权人负有未清偿义务。\n\n36. 被告是该等转让的初始受让人。\n\n第一项请求\n\n（依据《破产法典》§§ 548(a)(1)(A) 和 550(a) 请求撤销并追回实际欺诈性转让）\n\n37. 受托人重述并再次主张第1至36段所载指称，如同在此完整列明。\n\n38. 该等转让系债务人通过其另一个自我实体 Gclub，以实际阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的意图作出。\n\n39. 债务人在实施该等转让时阻碍、拖延或和/或欺诈其债权人的意图，除其他事项外，可由下列事实证明：\n\na. 该等转让系利用一个另一个自我空壳公司实施；\n\n14 见 http（最后访问于 Jan. 25, 2024）。债务人于2021年12月在 YouTube（优兔）上发布该音乐视频，约在申请日前两个月。\n\nb. 该等转让对债务人的债权人予以隐瞒；\n\nc. 该等转让是在债务人的家庭成员及其控制的其他亲信和下属协助下，作为债务人“空壳把戏”的一部分实施，以试图隐藏和遮蔽资产；\n\nd. 该等转让使债务人得以从其欺诈中受益，而不使其财产落入其债权人可及范围，从而促进了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\ne. 该等转让使债务人得以从其欺诈中获利，而不使其财产落入其债权人可及范围，从而促进了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\nf. 在该等转让时，债务人正面临诉讼，包括 PAX 在PAX案件中提起的诉讼；以及\n\ng. 在该等转让时，债务人资不抵债或资本不足。\n\n40. 该等转让可由受托人依据《破产法典》第 548(a)(i)(A) 条予以撤销，并可依据《破产法典》第 550(a) 条予以追回。\n\n第二项请求\n\n（依据 N.Y.
