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**.

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 17 Miles, LLC (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, Lexington Property and Staffing Inc. (\"Lexington\"), transferred funds in the amount of \\$146,760.63 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. Alternatively, these transfers were constructively fraudulent, because they were made when the Debtor was insolvent, and the Debtor did not receive reasonably equivalent value in consideration thereof.\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\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 limited liability company with an address at 2510 East Sunset Road, Suite 5-87, Las Vegas, Nevada 89120.\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.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 Lexington.\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 section 273, 273a, 275, 276, and 278.\n\n3 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. Lexington 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 such adversary proceedings the Bankruptcy Court has already granted such relief.5\n\n4 Default has entered against Lexington 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 Lexington 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-\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.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\n\n05017]; (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\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\nowned by one of Debtor's chauffeurs before its transfer to Debtor's daughter, was \"in essence, a shell corporation\" for the Debtor.10\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 Lexington, 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\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\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\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 Lexington, 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\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\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\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\n### **E. Transfers to the Defendant**\n\n30. Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor, through his shell company, Lexington, 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\n31. At the time of the Transfers, the Debtor had outstanding obligations to creditors of the Debtor's estate.\n\n32. 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\n33. The Trustee repeats and realleges the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-32 as if fully set forth herein.\n\n34. The Transfers were made by the Debtor through his alter ego, Lexington, with the actual intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud his creditors.\n\n- 35. The Debtor's intent to hinder, delay, or and/or defraud his creditors in effectuating the Transfers is shown by, among other things:\n\t- a. The Transfers were effectuated using an alter-ego shell company;\n\t- b. The Transfers were concealed from the Debtor's creditors;\n\t- c. The Transfers were effectuated as part of the Debtor's \"shell game\" with\n\nthe 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\ne. 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\n36. 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\n37. The Trustee repeats and realleges the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-32 as if fully set forth herein.\n\n38. The Transfers were made by the Debtor, through his alter ego company, Lexington, 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 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 benefit from his fraud without subjecting his property to the reach of his creditors;\n\ne. 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\n40. 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## **THIRD CLAIM**\n\n# **(Claim to Avoid and Recover Constructive Fraudulent Transfers Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 548(a)(1)(B) and 550(a))**\n\n41. The Trustee repeats and realleges the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-32 as if fully set forth herein.\n\n42. The Debtor received less than a reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the Transfers.\n\n43. At the time of the Transfers, the Debtor was insolvent or became insolvent as a result of the Transfers.\n\n44. At the time of the Transfers, the Debtor was engaged in a business or transaction, or was about to engage in a business or transaction, for which any property remaining with the Debtor was an unreasonably small amount of capital.\n\n45. At the time of the Transfers, the Debtor intended to incur or believed he would incur, debts that would be beyond his ability to pay as such debts matured.\n\n46. The Transfers constitute fraudulent transfers and are avoidable by the Trustee pursuant to section 548(a)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code and are recoverable pursuant to section 550(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n## **FOURTH CLAIM**\n\n# **(Claim to Avoid and Recover Constructive Fraudulent Transfers Pursuant to N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law sections 273(a)(2), 274 and 276 and Bankruptcy Code sections 544(b) and 550(a))**\n\n47.

The Transfers are avoidable by the Trustee pursuant to N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law sections 273(a)(2), 274 and 276 and section 544(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and are 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，以在 Ho Wan Kwok（“债务人”或“Kwok”）的第11章案件（“第11章案件”）中获任命的第11章受托人（“受托人”）身份，针对被告 17 Miles, LLC（“被告”）提交本对立程序起诉状（“起诉状”），陈述如下：\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（税务识别号码后四位：8202）及 Genever Holdings Corporation。受托人、Genever Holdings LLC 和 Genever Holdings Corporation 的邮寄地址为 Paul Hastings LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166，c/o Luc A. Despins，作为 Ho Wan Kwok 破产财团的受托人（仅限通知和通信之用）。\n\n诉讼性质\n\n1. 受托人提起本对立程序，以撤销并追回在本第11章案件开始前对债务人财产所作的转让。\n\n2. 债务人通过其分身空壳公司 Lexington Property and Staffing Inc.（“Lexington”），在申请日（定义见下文）之前向作为初始受让人的被告转让了金额为 $146,760.63 的资金。\n\n3. 该等转让构成实际欺诈，因为债务人作为其“空壳游戏”的一部分实施该等转让，并且该等转让系为阻碍、拖延及/或欺诈债务人的债权人而作出。备位而言，该等转让构成推定欺诈，因为该等转让是在债务人无力清偿债务时作出，且债务人未就此获得合理等值的对价。\n\n管辖权和审理地\n\n4. 本法院依据 28 U.S.C. §1334(b) 对本对立程序拥有事项管辖权。\n\n5. 本对立程序已依据 28 U.S.C. §157(a) 移交本法院审理。\n\n6. 本文所请求救济的法定依据包括《美国法典》第11编（“破产法典”）第544、548和550条，以及《纽约州债务人与债权人法》第273、274和276条 2，或任何其他适用的州法对应规定。\n\n2 下文对《纽约州债务人与债权人法》的所有法条引述均称为“《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《纽约州统一欺诈性转让法》（“NYUFC”），并于 April 4, 2020 生效，适用于在该日或之后作出的转让或承担的义务。\n\n当事人\n\n7. 受托人根据破产法院于 July 8, 2022 作出的命令，担任第11章案件的第11章受托人 [Case No. 22-50073（“主案”）Docket No. 523]。\n\n8. 被告是一家有限责任公司，地址为 2510 East Sunset Road, Suite 5-87, Las Vegas, Nevada 89120。\n\n事实\n\nA. 第11章案件\n\n9. 债务人于 February 15, 2022 在康涅狄格州联邦破产法院（“法院”或“破产法院”）根据《美国法典》第11编（“破产法典”）第11章提交自愿救济申请（“申请日”），从而启动上述标题所列第11章案件（“第11章案件”）。\n\n10. 于 March 21, 2002，美国受托人办公室在本第11章案件中任命了一个无担保债权人官方委员会。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分身空壳公司（包括 Lexington）持有和转让的财产。\n\n在 April 4, 2020 之前的转让方面，受托人在本案中依据 NYUFC 及《纽约州债务人与债权人法》第273、273a、275、276和278条寻求救济。\n\n3 资产和负债清单，第1页（Main Case, Docket No. 78）。\n\n12. 于 June 15, 2022，法院作出决定备忘录和命令 [Main Case Docket No. 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。于 July 8, 2022，法院作出命令，批准任命 Luc A. Despins 为第11章案件的受托人 [Main Case Docket No. 523]。\n\nB. 债务人对空壳公司的使用及受托人的对立程序\n\n13. Lexington 是债务人用于阻碍、拖延及/或欺诈其债权人的众多分身空壳公司之一。4 多年来，债务人策划了一场“空壳游戏”，利用由家庭成员及/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、花费及/或转让数百万美元的现金及其他资产，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立程序，其中包括确定债务人的空壳公司是其分身及/或该等公司及其资产在衡平法上归债务人所有；破产法院已在若干该等对立程序中准予该等救济。5\n\n4 在对立程序 Despins v. HCHK Technologies, Inc., et. al.（Adv. Proc. No. 23-5013（“HCHK Entities A.P.”）, Docket No. 139）中，已对 Lexington 作出缺席裁定；该对立程序除其他事项外，请求作出确认判决，确认 Lexington 是债务人的分身。受托人通过援引方式将其在 HCHK Entities A.P. 中提交的起诉状纳入本文（Adv. Proc. No. 23-5013, Docket No. 1）。\n\n5 这些对抗程序包括以下案件：(i) Luc A. Despins（卢克·A·德斯平斯），第11章受托人，诉 HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC（HK国际基金投资（美国）有限责任公司）等案 [对抗程序案号 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）等案 [对抗程序案号 23-05005]；(iii) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人，诉 Mei Guo（郭美）案 [对抗程序案号 23-05008]；(iv) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人，诉 HCHK Technologies, Inc.（HCHK科技公司）等案 [对抗程序案号 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）等案 [对抗程序案号 23-\n\n15. 这些诉讼中的事实模式一贯涉及：(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实体的现金购置的资产，和/或无对价转让给空壳实体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，并对该等资产享有控制权和支配权。\nC. 债务人为阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债权人而实施的行为\n\n16. 除受托人在其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）（以及通过该公司持有的 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）及 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（美国纽约南区联邦地区法院）的 Liman 法官认定，Eastern Profit Corporation Limited（东方利润有限公司）——该实体最初由债务人的一名司机持有，后转让给债务人的女儿——“实质上是”债务人的一家“空壳公司”。10\n\n05017]；(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）案 [对抗程序案号 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）等案 [对抗程序案号 23-05023]。\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，案卷编号 1372（“公司治理藐视法庭命令”））。\n\n7 经更正的部分准许初步禁令动议之裁决备忘录，第3段（对抗程序案号 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 及 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，其成员在个人层面对债务人忠诚。”）。\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，采取了种种措施。2017年，PAX 在 Supreme Court of the State of New York（纽约州最高法院）（“纽约法院”）提起诉讼，案号 652077/2017（“PAX案件”），请求就所欠款项作出判决。On February 3, 2021，PAX 获得纽约法院针对债务人的 \\$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（“丽人梅”号），债务人虚假声称其由其女儿所有；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以信托方式持有。债务人在判决后程序中抗拒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. 债务人还将其替身实体，包括 Lexington（列克星敦），用作个人钱袋，在将资产隐匿于这些替身实体中、使债权人无法发现，并阻碍和拖延债权人就其债权获得追偿的同时，为其本人及其家人已习惯的奢华生活方式提供资金。债务人通过这些替身实体实施的转让延续了债务人的欺诈计划。\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\n21. 债务人已在破产法院作证称，其资产不足以偿付其负债，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 债务人申报的资产仅为 \\$3,850。12\n\n22. In March 2023，债务人被捕，并因包括电信欺诈、证券欺诈及洗钱在内的联邦刑事指控而持续被羁押候审。\n\n23. 美国政府在其针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，对超过 \\$1 billion 的欺诈所得进行洗钱。”13\n\n24. 债务人的替身实体（包括 Lexington）的财产，在申请日之前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，债务人在纽约州纽约市开展业务，包括指挥该等转让。\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，均系通过作为债务人空壳游戏一部分而运营的债务人替身空壳公司作出，故该等转让具有阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债务人债权人的意图。\n\n11 债务人关于作出临时及最终 DIP 命令的动议之听证会：(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 见注3\n\n13 见 United States of America（美利坚合众国）就反对被告 Yanping Wang（王燕平）审前释放动议所提交的法律备忘录，第29页；该备忘录作为附件B附于第11章受托人就 G Club Operations LLC（G俱乐部运营有限责任公司）对受托人强制履行动议及相关救济请求提出的补充异议所作答复中（June 23, 2023，主案件卷编号 1934）。\n\n27. 债务人故意以此方式安排其财务事务，以便在向其众多债权人虚假声称自己贫困的同时，隐匿并耗散数百万美元资产。债务人声称自己身无分文，却同时大量花费，为其本人、家庭成员及密切关联人的亿万富翁生活方式提供维持资金。\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取得的资金。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（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此方式隐匿和耗散其资产，将不会有足够剩余资产可偿还其债权人——包括其欺诈行为的众多受害人。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。\nE. 向被告作出的转让\n\n30. 在申请日之前，债务人通过其空壳公司 Lexington 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\n31. 在作出该等转让时，债务人对其破产财产的债权人负有未清偿义务。\n\n32. 被告是该等转让的初始受让人。\n第一项请求\n（根据《破产法典》第§§ 548(a)(1)(A)和550(a)条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至32段所载指控，如同在本文中完整列明。\n\n34. 债务人通过其替身 Lexington 作出该等转让时，具有阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的实际意图。\n\n35. 债务人在实施该等转让时阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的意图，除其他事项外，可由以下情况表明：\na. 该等转让系使用替身空壳公司实施；\n\nb. 该等转让对债务人的债权人予以隐瞒；\n\nc. 该等转让作为债务人“空壳游戏”的一部分实施，在债务人控制的家庭成员及其他亲信和下属协助下，试图隐匿及保护资产；\n\nd. 该等转让通过使债务人从其欺诈行为中受益而不使其财产落入其债权人的追索范围，进一步实施了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\ne. 该等转让通过使债务人从其欺诈行为中获利而不使其财产落入其债权人的追索范围，进一步实施了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\nf. 在作出该等转让时，债务人正被起诉，包括 PAX 在 PAX案件中对其提起的诉讼；以及\n\ng. 在作出该等转让时，债务人无力偿债或资本不足。\n\n36. 受托人可根据《破产法典》第548(a)(i)(A)条撤销该等转让，并可根据《破产法典》第550(a)条追回该等转让。\n第二项请求\n（根据 N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law 第273、274及276条以及《破产法典》第544(b)和550(a)条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至32段所载指控，如同在本文中完整列明。\n\n38. 债务人通过其替身公司 Lexington 作出该等转让时，具有阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的实际意图。\n\n39. 债务人在实施该等转让时阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的意图，除其他事项外，可由以下情况表明：\n\na. 该等转让系使用替身空壳公司实施；\n\nb. 该等转让对债务人的债权人予以隐瞒；\n\nc. 该等转让作为债务人“空壳游戏”的一部分实施，在债务人控制的家庭成员及其他亲信和下属协助下，试图隐匿及保护资产；\n\nd. 该等转让通过使债务人从其欺诈行为中受益而不使其财产落入其债权人的追索范围，进一步实施了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\ne. 该等转让通过使债务人从其欺诈行为中获利而不使其财产落入其债权人的追索范围，进一步实施了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\nf. 在作出该等转让时，债务人正被起诉，包括 PAX 在 PAX案件中对其提起的诉讼；以及\n\ng. 在作出该等转让时，债务人无力偿债或资本不足。\n\n40. 受托人可根据 N.Y. Debt. & Cred.
