Skalka | | | |\n| | | | | | |\n\n#### **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| In re: | :

Despins, in his capacity as the chapter 11 trustee (the \"Trustee\") appointed in the\n\nchapter 11 case (the \"Chapter 11 Case\") of Ho Wan Kwok (the \"Debtor\" or \"Kwok\"), files this\n\n1 The 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 purposes of notices and communications).\n\nadversary complaint (the \"Complaint\") against defendant AppsFlyer Inc. (the \"Defendant\"), stating as follows:\n\n### **NATURE OF ACTION**\n\n1. 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, HCHK Technologies Inc. (\"HCHK\"), transferred funds in the amount of \\$107,791.20 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 2 or any other applicable state law equivalents.\n\n2 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 Delaware corporation with an address at 100 1st Street, Floor 25, San Francisco, California 94105.\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 \"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.3 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 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\n3 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.4 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 the Bankruptcy Court has already granted such relief.5\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\n4 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 was 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\n5 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.6\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 Debtor7 , led by the Debtor8 and/or served \"the purposes of… and as business vehicles of\" the Debtor.9\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 Debtor's chauffeurs before its transfer to Debtor's daughter, was \"in essence, a shell corporation\" for the Debtor.10\n\n6 *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\n7 *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\n8 *Id*. at para. 7 (\"The Debtor is the leader of The Whistleblower Movement, NFSC, ROLF and Himalaya.\").\n\n9 *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\n10 *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 perpetuated 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.11 The Debtor scheduled only \\$3,850 in assets.12\n\n11 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\n12 *See* n.3\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.\"13\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.\n\n### **D. Transfer 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 they were all made through the Debtor's alterego 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\n13 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, through shell companies including 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. At the time of the Transfer, the Debtor had outstanding obligations to creditors of the Debtor's estate.\n\n32. 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 §§ 548(a)(1)(A) and 550(a))**\n\n33. The Trustee repeats and realleges the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-32 as if fully set forth herein.\n\n34. 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\n35. The Debtor's intent to hinder, delay, or 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\n36. 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 Transfer pursuant to N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law sections 273, 274, and 276, and Bankruptcy Code sections 544(b) and 550(a))**\n\n37. The Trustee repeats and realleges the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-32 as if fully set forth herein.\n\n38. The Transfer was made by the Debtor, through his alter ego company, HCHK, with the actual intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud his creditors.\n\n39. 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\n40. 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, an order declaring that the Transfer in an amount not less than \\$107,791.20 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（卢克·A·德斯平斯）以其在Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）（以下简称“债务人”或“Kwok”）第11章案件（以下简称“第11章案件”）中获任命的第11章受托人（以下简称“受托人”）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）（税务识别号码后四位：9595）、Genever Holdings LLC（Genever控股有限责任公司）（税务识别号码后四位：8202）及Genever Holdings Corporation（Genever控股公司）。受托人、Genever Holdings LLC及Genever Holdings Corporation的邮寄地址为Paul Hastings LLP（宝盛律师事务所），200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166，c/o Luc A. Despins，作为Ho Wan Kwok财产集合的受托人（仅为通知及通信之目的）。\n\n对抗起诉状（以下简称“起诉状”），被告为AppsFlyer Inc.（以下简称“被告”），陈述如下：\n\n诉讼性质\n\n1. 受托人提起本对抗程序，以撤销并追回于本第11章案件开始前对债务人财产所作的转让。\n\n2. 债务人通过其另我空壳公司HCHK Technologies Inc.（“HCHK”），于申请日（定义见下文）前向作为初始受让人的被告转让了金额为 \\$107,791.20 的资金。\n\n3. 该等转让实际构成欺诈，因为债务人将其作为其“空壳游戏”的一部分实施，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\n管辖权及审判地\n\n4. 本院根据28 U.S.C. §1334(b)对本对抗程序具有事项管辖权。\n\n5. 本对抗程序已根据28 U.S.C. §157(a)移交本院审理。\n\n6. 本文所请求救济的法定依据包括《美国法典》第11编第544、548及550条（以下简称“破产法”）以及《纽约州债务人与债权人法》第273、274及276条2，或任何其他适用的州法同等规定。\n\n2 以下对《纽约州债务人与债权人法》的所有法条引用均称为“《纽约州债务人与债权人法》”。《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April 4, 2020当日或之后作出的转让或承担的义务。对于April 4, 2020之前的转让，受托人在本诉讼中根据NYUFC及《纽约州债务人与债权人法》第273、273a、275、276及278条请求救济。\n\n当事人\n\n7. 受托人系第11章案件中的第11章受托人，系依破产法院于July 8, 2022作出的命令获任命[案件编号22-50073（以下简称“主案”），案卷编号523]。\n\n8. 被告是一家Delaware（特拉华州）公司，地址为100 1st Street, Floor 25, San Francisco, California 94105。\n\n事实\n\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（康涅狄格地区美国破产法院）（以下简称“破产法院”）根据《美国法典》第11编第11章（以下简称“破产法”）提交自愿破产救济申请（以下简称“申请日”），从而启动上述标题所列第11章案件（以下简称“第11章案件”）。\n\n10. 于March 21, 2002，美国受托人办公室在本第11章案件中任命了无担保债权人官方委员会。尚未任命审查员。\n\n11. 债务人于March 2022向破产法院提交的破产财产清单称，其拥有 \\$3,850 的资产，并产生了数亿美元的负债。3 虽然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）持有及转让的财产。\n\n12. 于June 15, 2022，本院作出裁判备忘录及命令[主案案卷编号465]，指示美国受托人在\n\n3 资产和负债清单，第1页（主案，案卷编号78）。\n\n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（卢克·A·德斯平斯）担任受托人。于July 8, 2022，本院作出命令，批准任命Luc A. Despins担任第11章案件中的受托人[主案件卷编号523]。\n\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“空壳游戏”，利用由家庭成员和/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。该空壳游戏使债务人能够使用、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程序，以便除其他事项外，确定债务人的空壳公司系其另我，和/或该等公司及其资产在衡平法上归债务人所有；在若干案件中，破产法院已经准予该等救济。5\n\n15. 该等诉讼中的事实模式一贯包括：(i) 由债务人控制、由近亲家庭成员和/或下属持有的空壳公司，(ii) 以现金购买的资产\n\n4 在对抗程序 Despins v. HCHK Technologies, Inc., et. al（对抗程序案号 23-5013（“HCHK Entities A.P.”），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 是债务人的另一自我。受托人特此援引其在 HCHK Entities A.P. 中提交的起诉状（Adv. Proc. No. 23-5013, Docket No. 1）。\n\n5 这些包括以下对抗程序：(i) Luc A. Despins（卢克·A·德斯潘），Chapter 11 Trustee v. HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC（香港国际基金投资（美国）有限公司）, et al. [Adv. Proc. No. 22-05003]；(ii) Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Greenwich Land LLC（格林尼治土地有限责任公司）, et al. [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05005]；(iii) Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Mei Guo（郭美）[Adv. Proc. No. 23-05008]；(iv) Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. HCHK Technologies, Inc.（HCHK 科技公司）, et al. [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05013]；(v) Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Taurus Fund LLC（金牛基金有限责任公司）, et al. [Adv. Proc. No. 23- 05017]；(vi) Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Golden Spring (New York) Limited（黄金泉〔纽约〕有限公司）[Adv. Proc. 23-05018]；以及 (vii) Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Lamp Capital LLC（蓝普资本有限责任公司）, et al. [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获益，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，且债务人控制并使用了 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，包括 Gettr、G Fashion、G Music、GClubs、GNews 和 GEdu）、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载体”。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 法官认定，Eastern Profit Corporation Limited（东方盈利有限公司）——一家最初由债务人的一名司机所有、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 准许认定债务人藐视公司治理命令之动议的命令，第1、4段（Jan. 24, 2023, Docket No. 1372（“Corp. Governance Contempt Order”）。\n\n7 经更正的部分准许初步禁令动议之决定备忘录，第3段（Adv. Proc. No. 22-05032, January 13, 2023（“The Debtor also controls Saraca Media Group and a related entity 'GTV'”）。\n\n8 同上，第7段（“The Debtor is the leader of The Whistleblower Movement, NFSC, ROLF and Himalaya.”）。\n\n9 同上。（“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\n10 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. 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，费尽周折。2017 年，PAX 在 Supreme Court of the State of New York（纽约州最高法院）（“New York Court”）以 Index No. 652077/2017（“PAX Case”）起诉债务人，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 Judgment”）。PAX 试图通过扣押债务人的资产来执行 PAX 判决——包括 Lady May，该船被债务人虚假声称归其女儿所有；以及债务人在曼哈顿的豪华公寓，被债务人虚假声称为其儿子以信托方式持有。债务人在判决后程序中藐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. 债务人还将其另一自我，包括 HCHK，当作个人钱库，用于资助其本人及其家人已经习惯的奢华生活方式，同时将资产隐藏在这些另一自我中以逃避债权人，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自我实施的转让延续了债务人的欺诈计划。\n\n21. 债务人在破产法院作证称，其资产不足以偿还其负债，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资助。11 债务人仅报列 $3,850 的资产。12\n\n11 关于债务人申请作出临时和最终 DIP 命令之动议的听证会：(I) 授权债务人取得无担保、次级的申请后融资；(II) 安排临时和最终听证会；以及 (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，目前仍因包括电信欺诈、证券欺诈和洗钱在内的联邦刑事指控而被羁押候审。\n\n23. 在针对债务人的刑事起诉书中，United States Government（美国政府）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，洗钱超过 $1 billion 的欺诈所得”。13\n\n24. 在申请日之前的任何时候，债务人各另一自我的财产，包括 HCHK 的财产，均为债务人的财产。\n\n25. 在与本案相关的任何时候，债务人在 New York, New York 从事商业活动，包括指挥该转让。\n\nD. 为阻碍、拖延或欺诈债权人而作出的转让\n\n26. 本起诉状所涉转让系意图阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债务人的债权人而作出，原因在于该等转让均通过债务人的另一自我空壳公司作出，该等公司作为债务人空壳游戏的一部分运营。\n\n27. 债务人故意以此方式安排其财务事务，以便隐匿和耗散数百万美元资产，同时向其众多债权人虚假地宣称贫困。债务人声称身无分文，却同时大量支出，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（王艳萍）审前释放动议的法律备忘录，第29页，作为 Exhibit B 附于 Chapter 11 Trustee 对 G Club Operations LLC（G Club 运营有限责任公司）就受托人强制履行动议及相关救济请求所提出的补充异议之答复中（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受害人处获得的资金。由于该等行为，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）待决的一起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（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，通过以此方式隐匿和耗散其资产，将不会剩余足够资产偿还其债权人——包括其众多欺诈行为的受害人。因此，该等转让必然是出于阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债务人债权人的意图而作出。\n\nE. 向被告的转让\n\n30. 在申请日之前，债务人通过包括 HCHK 在内的空壳公司，或以其他方式，将债务人的财产转让给被告（“Transfer”），包括但不限于如下：\n\n见随附并构成本文件一部分的 SCHEDULE A。\n\n31. 在该转让发生时，债务人对债务人财产的债权人负有未清偿义务。\n\n32. 被告是该转让的初始受让人。\n\n第一项请求\n\n（根据 Bankruptcy Code §§ 548(a)(1)(A) and 550(a) 撤销并追回实际欺诈性转让的请求）\n\n33. 受托人重述并再次主张第 1-32 段所载指控，如同在本文中完整载明。\n\n34. 债务人通过其另一自我 HCHK 作出该转让，具有阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的实际意图。\n\n35. 债务人在实施该转让时阻碍、拖延或和/或欺诈其债权人的意图，除其他事项外，表明如下：\n\na. 该转让系使用一家另一自我空壳公司实施；\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，试图隐匿和保护资产；\n\nd. 该转让使债务人能够从其欺诈中获益，而不使其财产受其债权人追索，从而推进了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\ne. 该转让使债务人能够从其欺诈中获利，而不使其财产受其债权人追索，从而推进了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\nf. 在该转让发生时，债务人正被起诉，包括被 PAX 在 PAX Case 中起诉；以及\n\ng. 在该转让发生时，债务人无力偿债或资本不足。\n\n36. 该转让可由受托人根据 Bankruptcy Code Section 548(a)(i)(A) 撤销，并可根据 Bankruptcy Code Section 550(a) 追回。\n\n第二项请求\n\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）\n\n37. 受托人重述并再次主张第 1-32 段所载指控，如同在本文中完整载明。\n\n38. 债务人通过其另一自我公司 HCHK 作出该转让，具有阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的实际意图。\n\n39. 债务人在实施该转让时阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的意图，除其他事项外，表明如下：\n\na. 该转让系使用一家另一自我空壳公司实施；\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，试图隐匿和保护资产；\n\nd. 该转让使债务人能够从其欺诈中获益，而不使其财产受其债权人追索，从而推进了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\ne. 该转让使债务人能够从其欺诈中获利，而不使其财产受其债权人追索，从而推进了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\nf. 在该转让发生时，债务人正被起诉，包括被 PAX 在 PAX Case 中起诉；以及\n\ng. 在该转让发生时，债务人无力偿债或资本不足。\n\n40. 该转让可由受托人根据 N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law sections 273(a)(1), 274, and 276, and section 544(b) of the Bankruptcy Code 撤销，并可根据 section 550(a) of the Bankruptcy Code 追回。\n\n救济请求\n\n因此，基于上述理由，受托人谨请求作出如下判决：\n\n1. 就第一项请求，作出命令，宣告金额不低于 $107,791.20 的该转让已根据 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) 根据 Bankruptcy Code Section 550(a)(1)，由被告向债务人财产返还该转让或其价值，具体由受托人选择。\n\n2. 就第二项诉讼请求，作出裁定，确认：(a) 根据《破产法》第544(b)条及 N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law sections 273(a)(2), 274 and 276，不低于 $107,791.20 的该转让应予撤销；(b) 命令撤销该转让；以及 (c) 根据 N.Y. Debt & Cred.
