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| In re:                                                                                                      | :<br>:                                        | Chapter 11                   |\n| 1<br>HO WAN KWOK,<br>et al.,                                                                                | :<br>:                                        | Case No. 22-50073 (JAM)      |\n|                                                                                                             | :<br>Debtors.<br>:<br>:                       | (Jointly Administered)       |\n| -----------------------------------------------------------<br>LUC A.

The Trustee commences this adversary proceeding under Title 11 of the United States Code (the \"Bankruptcy Code\") to avoid and recover transfers of the Debtor's property prior to the commencement of this Chapter 11 Case, including transfers within 90 days of the petition date.\n\n2. The Debtor, through his alter ego shell company, HCHK Technologies, Inc. (\"HCHK\"), transferred funds in the amount of \\$115,000.00 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 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\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 Florida limited liability company with offices located at 32 SE 2 nd Avenue, #505, Delray Beach, Florida 33444.\n\n#### **FACTS**\n\n#### **A. Chapter 11 Case**\n\n9. The Debtor filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on February 15, 2022 (the \"Petition Date\") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut (the \"Bankruptcy Court\"), thus commencing the Chapter 11 Case.\n\n10. On March 21, 2022, 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/or transferred through his many alter ego shell companies, including, HCHK.\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\n\nobligations 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 §§273, 273-a, 274, 275, 276 and 278.\n\n<sup>3</sup> Schedule of Assets and Liabilities, at 1 [Main Case Docket No. 78].\n\nChapter 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. HCHK 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, lieutenants, and/or 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\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\n\n<sup>4</sup> Default has entered against HCHK.in the adversary proceeding *Despins v. HCHK Technologies, Inc., et. al.* (Adv. Proc. No. 23-5013 (the \"HCHK Entities A.P.\"), Docket No. 139), which adversary proceeding seeks, among other things, a declaratory judgment that HCHK is the alter ego of the Debtor. The Trustee incorporates by reference herein, the Trustee's Complaint filed in the HCHK Entities A.P. (Adv. Proc. No. 23-5013, Docket No. 1).\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\nother 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 owned by one of the Debtor's chefs before its transfer to Debtor's daughter, was \"in essence, a shell corporation\" for the Debtor.<sup>10</sup>\n\n<sup>6</sup> Order Granting Motion to Hold Debtor in Contempt of Corporate Governance Order, ¶¶ 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*, ¶ 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 ¶ 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\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\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 HCHK, 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\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\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\n22. In March 2023, the Debtor was arrested and remains confined pending his trial 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 HCHK, 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 Transfer (as defined herein).\n\n### **D. Transfers Made with Intent to Hinder, Delay, or Defraud Creditors**\n\n26. The Transfer at issue in this Complaint were made with the intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud the Debtor's creditors inasmuch as it was made through the Debtor's alter-ego shell companies operated as a part of the Debtor's shell game.\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\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\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\n#### **E. Transfer to the Defendant**\n\n30. Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor, using his alter ego shell company, HCHK, or otherwise, transferred the Debtor's property to the Defendant (the \"Transfer\"), including, without limitation, as follows:\n\nSee **SCHEDULE A** attached hereto and made a part hereof.\n\n31. The Defendant was the initial transferee of the Transfer.\n\n#### **FIRST CLAIM**\n\n### **(Claim to Avoid and Recover Actual Fraudulent Transfer Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 548(a)(1)(A) and 550(a))**\n\n32. The Trustee repeats and realleges the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-31 as if fully set forth herein.\n\n33. The Transfer was made by the Debtor through his alter ego, HCHK, with the actual intent to hinder, delay and/or defraud his creditors.\n\n34. The Debtor's intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud his creditors in effectuating the Transfer is shown by, among other things:\n\na. The Transfer was effectuated using an alter ego shell company;\n\nb. The Transfer was concealed from the Debtor's creditors;\n\nc. The Transfer was 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 Transfer 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\ne. The Transfer 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 Transfer, the Debtor was being sued, including by PAX in the PAX Case; and\n\ng. At the time of the Transfer, the Debtor was insolvent or undercapitalized.\n\n35. The Transfer is 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\n36. The Trustee repeats and realleges the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-31 as if fully set forth herein.\n\n37. The Transfer was made by the Debtor, through his alter ego, HCHK, with the actual intent to hinder, delay and/or defraud his creditors.\n\n38. The Debtor's intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud his creditors in effectuating the Transfer is shown by, among other things:\n\na. The Transfer was effectuated using an alter ego shell company;\n\nb. The Transfer was concealed from the Debtor's creditors;\n\nc. The Transfer was 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 Transfer 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\ne. The Transfer 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 Transfer, the Debtor was being sued, including by PAX in the PAX Case; and\n\ng. At the time of the Transfer the Debtor was insolvent or undercapitalized.\n\n39. The Transfer is 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#### **PRAYER FOR RELIEF**\n\nWHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, the Trustee respectfully requests that judgment be entered as follows:\n\n1. On the First Claim, (a) an order declaring that the Transfer in an amount not less than \\$115,000.00 is avoided pursuant to section 548(a)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code; (b) an order directing that the Transfer be set aside; and (c) recovery of the Transfer, or the value thereof at the Trustee's option, from the Defendant for the benefit of the Debtor's estate pursuant to section 550(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code;\n\n2.

Despins 以其作为在 Ho Wan Kwok（下称“债务人”或“Kwok”）第 11 章案件（下称“第 11 章案件”）中获指定的第 11 章受托人（下称“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（亦称 Guo Wengui、Miles Guo 和 Miles Kwok，以及众多其他别名）（税务识别号码后四位：9595）、Genever Holdings LLC（吉尼弗控股有限责任公司）（税务识别号码后四位：8202）及 Genever Holdings Corporation（吉尼弗控股公司）。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，c/o Luc A. Despins，作为 Ho Wan Kwok 破产财团受托人（仅为通知和通信之目的）。\n\n对抗性起诉状（下称“起诉状”），针对被告 Name Corp LLC（下称“被告”），陈述如下：\n诉讼性质\n\n1. 受托人依据《美国法典》第 11 编（下称“《破产法典》”）提起本对抗程序，以撤销并追回本第 11 章案件开始前对债务人财产作出的转让，包括在申请日之前 90 日内作出的转让。\n\n2. 债务人通过其另我空壳公司 HCHK Technologies, Inc.（HCHK 科技公司，下称“HCHK”），于申请日（定义见下文）之前向作为初始受让人的被告转让了 \\$115,000.00 的资金。\n\n3. 该等转让构成实际欺诈，因为债务人将其作为其“空壳游戏”的一部分予以实施，并且作出该等转让的意图是阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债务人的债权人。\n管辖权和审判地\n\n4. 本院依据 28 U.S.C. § 1334(b)，对本对抗程序享有事项管辖权。\n\n5. 本对抗程序依据 28 U.S.C. § 157(a) 移送本院。\n\n6. 本文所请求救济的法定依据包括《破产法典》第 544、548 及 550 条和《纽约州债务人和债权人法》第 273、274 及 276 条 2，或任何其他适用的州法对应规定。\n\n2 此后，凡提及《纽约州债务人和债权人法》的法定条文，均称为“《纽约州债务与信贷法》”。《纽约州统一可撤销交易法》（“NYUVT”）取代《纽约州统一欺诈性让与法》（“NYUFC”），并于 April 4, 2020 生效，适用于在以下日期或之后作出的转让或\n当事人\n\n7. 受托人依据破产法院于 July 8, 2022 作出的命令，在第 11 章案件中担任第 11 章受托人 [Case No. 22-50073（下称“主案件”）Docket No. 523]。\n\n8. 被告是一家佛罗里达州有限责任公司，办公地点位于 32 SE 2 nd Avenue, #505, Delray Beach, Florida 33444。\n事实\nA. 第 11 章案件\n\n9. 债务人于 February 15, 2022 在 United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut（康涅狄格州联邦破产法院，下称“破产法院”）自愿提交了根据《破产法典》第 11 章请求救济的申请（下称“申请日”），从而启动第 11 章案件。\n\n10. 于 March 21, 2022，Office of the United States Trustee（美国受托人办公室）在本第 11 章案件中指定了无担保债权人正式委员会。尚未指定审查员。\n\n11. 债务人于 March 2022 向破产法院提交的破产财产清单声称其拥有 \\$3,850 的资产，并负有数亿美元的债务。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 HCHK，持有和/或转让的财产。\n\n12. 于 June 15, 2022，本院作出裁决备忘录及命令 [Main Case Docket No. 465]，指示美国受托人在\n\n于 April 4, 2020 或之后发生的债务。对于 April 4, 2020 之前的转让，受托人在本诉讼中根据 NYUFC 及 N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law §§273, 273-a, 274, 275, 276 and 278 请求救济。\n\n3 资产和负债清单，第 1 页 [Main Case Docket No. 78]。\n\n第 11 章案件中指定一名第 11 章受托人。根据该命令，美国受托人选定 Luc A. Despins 担任受托人。于 July 8, 2022，本院作出命令，批准指定 Luc A. Despins 为第 11 章案件中的受托人 [Main Case Docket No. 523]。\nB. 债务人对空壳公司的使用及受托人的对抗程序\n\n13. HCHK 是债务人用以阻碍、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，债务人一直策划一场“空壳游戏”，利用由家庭成员、副手和/或下属名义持有、但实际上由债务人控制的复杂空壳公司网络。该空壳游戏使债务人得以使用和支出和/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. 自获指定以来，受托人已在第 11 章案件中提起若干对抗程序，除其他事项外，以确定债务人的空壳公司系其另我和/或该等公司及其资产由债务人衡平所有；破产法院已在数项对抗程序中准予该等救济。5\n\n15. 该等诉讼中的事实模式一贯涉及：(i) 由近亲家庭成员和/或下属持有的债务人控制的空壳公司，(ii) 以现金购买的资产\n\n4. 在对抗程序 Despins v. HCHK Technologies, Inc., et. al.（Despins诉HCHK Technologies, Inc.（HCHK科技公司）等）（Adv. Proc. No. 23-5013（以下简称“HCHK实体对抗程序”），Docket No. 139）中，已对HCHK作出缺席裁定；该对抗程序除其他事项外，请求作出确认判决，确认HCHK是债务人的另一个自我。受托人通过引用方式将其在HCHK实体对抗程序中提交的起诉书（Adv. Proc. No. 23-5013, Docket No. 1）纳入本文。\n\n5. 这些对抗程序包括以下程序：(i) Luc A. Despins（吕克·A·德斯潘），第11章受托人诉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章受托人诉Greenwich Land LLC（格林威治地产有限责任公司）等[Adv. Proc. No. 23-05005]；(iii) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人诉Mei Guo（郭美）[Adv. Proc. No. 23-05008]；(iv) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人诉HCHK Technologies, Inc.等[Adv. Proc. No. 23-05013]；(v) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人诉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章受托人诉Golden Spring (New York) Limited（黄金泉（纽约）有限公司）[Adv. Proc. 23-05018]；以及(vii) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人诉Lamp Capital LLC（蓝普资本有限责任公司）等[Adv. Proc. 23-05023]。\n\n其他由债务人控制的实体和/或在空壳实体之间无偿转移，以及(iii)债务人从该等资产中受益并对该等资产拥有控制权和支配权。\n\nC. 债务人为妨碍、拖延和/或欺诈债权人而实施的行为\n\n16. 除受托人对抗程序中所处理的事项外，破产法院还认定，债务人是Ace Decade Limited（艾斯十年有限公司）（并通过该公司成为Dawn State Limited（曙光州有限公司））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（伊薇特·王）。6\n\n17. 破产法院还认定，“G实体”（Gettr（盖特尔）、G Fashion（G时尚）、G Music（G音乐）、GClubs（G俱乐部）、GNews（G新闻）和GEdu（G教育））、New Federal State of China（中国新联邦国）和Rule of Law Foundation（法治基金会），以及其他声称独立的实体和组织，均受债务人控制7、由债务人领导8，和/或“为……的目的服务并作为……的商业工具”服务于债务人。9\n\n18. 在申请日之前，United States District Court for the Southern District of New York（美国纽约南区联邦地区法院）的Liman法官（利曼法官）认定，Eastern Profit Corporation Limited（东方利润有限公司）——一家最初由债务人的一名厨师所有、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. 关于准许动议、认定债务人藐视公司治理命令的命令，¶¶ 1, 4 (Jan. 24, 2023, Docket No. 1372 (“Corp.

June 22, 2021)。\n\n19. 债务人为妨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，以下简称“PAX”）的追偿工作，已不遗余力。2017年，PAX在Supreme Court of the State of New York（纽约州最高法院）（以下简称“纽约法院”）起诉债务人，案卷索引号为652077/2017（以下简称“PAX案件”），请求就所欠款项作出判决。2021年2月3日，PAX从纽约法院获得针对债务人的\\$116,402,019.57判决（以下简称“PAX判决”）。PAX试图通过查封债务人的资产来执行PAX判决——包括Lady May（“五月女士”号），债务人虚假声称该船由其女儿所有；以及债务人在曼哈顿的豪华公寓，债务人虚假声称该公寓为其儿子而由信托持有。债务人在判决后程序中蔑视纽约法院命令的行为，最终导致债务人被处以\\$134 million的藐视法庭罚款。\n\n20. 债务人还将包括HCHK在内的其另一个自我作为个人钱袋使用，为其本人及其家人已习以为常的奢华生活方式提供资金，同时将资产隐匿于这些另一个自我中以躲避债权人，并妨碍和拖延债权人就其债权获得追偿。债务人通过这些另一个自我实施的转让，实施了债务人的欺诈计划。\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，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 债务人仅列报\\$3,850的资产。12\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) 授权债务人获得无担保、次级的申请后融资，以及(II) 安排临时及最终听证会，及(III) 准予相关救济（主案，April 27, 2022）\n\n12. 见注3\n\n22. 2023年3月，债务人被逮捕，并在联邦刑事指控的审判前持续被羁押；该等指控除其他事项外包括电信欺诈、证券欺诈和洗钱。\n\n23. 美国政府在对债务人提出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，清洗了超过\\$1 billion的欺诈所得。”13\n\n24. 包括HCHK在内的债务人另一个自我的财产，在申请日前的任何时候均为债务人的财产。\n\n25. 在与本文有关的所有期间，债务人在纽约州纽约市从事商业活动，包括指示进行转让（定义见下文）。\n\nD. 为妨碍、拖延或欺诈债权人而作出的转让\n\n26. 本起诉书所涉的转让，系为妨碍、拖延和/或欺诈债务人的债权人而作出，因为该转让是通过作为债务人空壳游戏一部分而运作的债务人另一个自我空壳公司作出的。\n\n27. 债务人故意以该方式安排其财务事务，以在虚假宣称无力偿债的同时，隐匿和耗散数百万美元资产，使其众多债权人无法受偿。债务人一面声称身无分文，一面却大肆支出，以维持其本人、其家庭成员及亲密同事的亿万富翁生活方式。\n\n13. 见United States of America（美利坚合众国）反对被告Yanping Wang（王雁平）审前释放动议的法律备忘录，第29页；该备忘录作为附件B附于第11章受托人对G Club Operations LLC（G俱乐部运营有限责任公司）补充反对受托人强制履行动议及相关救济请求的答复中（June 23, 2023, Main Case Docket No. 1934）。\n\n28. 债务人隐匿和耗散的资产包括其从其加密货币、证券及其他欺诈计划的受害人处获得的资金。由于该行为，债务人在United States District Court for the Southern District of New York（美国纽约南区联邦地区法院）待决的一宗刑事案件中面临多项重罪欺诈、洗钱及敲诈勒索指控。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. 债务人知道并意图通过以该方式隐匿和耗散其资产，将不会留下足够资产偿还其债权人——包括其诸多欺诈行为的受害人。因此，该等转让必然是为妨碍、拖延和/或欺诈债务人的债权人而作出的。\n\nE. 向被告作出的转让\n\n30. 在申请日之前，债务人通过使用其另一个自我空壳公司HCHK，或以其他方式，将债务人的财产转让给被告（以下简称“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件A。\n\n31. 被告是该转让的初始受让人。\n\n第一项请求权\n（根据 Bankruptcy Code sections 548(a)(1)(A) and 550(a) 撤销并追回实际欺诈性转让的请求权）\n\n32. 受托人重述并再次主张第1至31段所载指控，如同该等指控已在本文中完整列明。\n\n33. 债务人通过其另一个自我HCHK作出该转让，具有实际妨碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的意图。\n\n34. 债务人在实施该转让时妨碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的意图，除其他事项外，可由以下事实证明：\n\na. 该转让使用一个另一个自我空壳公司实施；\n\nb. 该转让被向债务人的债权人隐瞒；\n\nc. 该转让作为债务人“空壳游戏”的一部分实施，并在债务人的家庭成员及其控制的其他亲信和下属协助下进行，以图隐匿和保护资产；\n\nd. 该转让通过使债务人得以从其欺诈中受益而不使其财产受债权人追及，进一步促成了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\ne. 该转让通过使债务人得以从其欺诈中获利而不使其财产受债权人追及，进一步促成了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\nf. 在转让时，债务人正遭受诉讼，包括PAX在PAX案件中提起的诉讼；以及\n\ng. 在转让时，债务人已资不抵债或资本不足。\n\n35. 该转让可由受托人依据 Bankruptcy Code section 548(a)(1)(A) 撤销，并可依据 Bankruptcy Code section 550(a) 追回。\n\n第二项请求权\n（根据 N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law sections 273, 274, and 276, and Bankruptcy Code sections 544(b) and 550(a) 撤销并追回实际欺诈性转让的请求权）\n\n36. 受托人重述并再次主张第1至31段所载指控，如同该等指控已在本文中完整列明。\n\n37. 债务人通过其另一个自我HCHK作出该转让，具有实际妨碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的意图。\n\n38. 债务人在实施该转让时妨碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的意图，除其他事项外，可由以下事实证明：\n\na. 该转让使用一个另一个自我空壳公司实施；\n\nb. 该转让被向债务人的债权人隐瞒；\n\nc. 该转让作为债务人“空壳游戏”的一部分实施，并在债务人的家庭成员及其控制的其他亲信和下属协助下进行，以图隐匿和保护资产；\n\nd. 该转让通过使债务人得以从其欺诈中受益而不使其财产受债权人追及，进一步促成了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\ne. 该转让通过使债务人得以从其欺诈中获利而不使其财产受债权人追及，进一步促成了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\nf. 在转让时，债务人正遭受诉讼，包括PAX在PAX案件中提起的诉讼；以及\n\ng. 在转让时，债务人已资不抵债或资本不足。\n\n39. 该转让可由受托人依据 N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law sections 273(a)(1), 274, and 276, and Bankruptcy Code section 544(b) 撤销，并可依据 Bankruptcy Code section 550(a) 追回。\n\n救济请求\n\n因此，基于前述理由，受托人谨请求作出如下判决：\n\n1. 就第一项请求权，(a) 作出命令，宣告金额不少于\\$115,000.00的该转让依据 Bankruptcy Code section 548(a)(1)(A) 被撤销；(b) 作出命令，指令撤销该转让；以及(c) 依据 Bankruptcy Code section 550(a)(1)，为债务人财产的利益，从被告处追回该转让，或由受托人选择追回其价值；\n\n2. 就第二项请求，(a) 作出命令，宣告根据《破产法》section 544(b)及N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law sections 273(a)(2)、274和276，不低于$115,000.00金额的该项转让已被撤销；(b) 作出命令，指令撤销该项转让；以及(c) 根据N.Y. Debt & Cred.
