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 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 companies, G Fashion (\"G Fashion\") and G Fashion Media Group, Inc. (\"G Fashion Media\") transferred funds in the amount of \\$775,000.00 prior to the Petition Date (as defined herein) to the Defendant as the 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](#page-3-0) or any other applicable state law equivalents.\n\n# **THE PARTIES**\n\n<span id=\"page-3-0\"></span><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\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 California limited liability company with an address and place of business at 5633 Irvine Avenue, Los Angeles, California 91601.\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, 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[.](#page-4-0)<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 G Fashion and G Fashion Media.\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\n\n<span id=\"page-4-0\"></span><sup>3</sup> Schedule of Assets and Liabilities, at 1 [Main Case Docket No. 78].\n\nTrustee. 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. G Fashion and G Fashion Media is among the numerous alter-ego shell companies used by the Debtor to hinder, delay, and/or defraud his creditors. [4](#page-5-0) 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.\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. [5](#page-5-1)\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<span id=\"page-5-0\"></span><sup>4</sup> The Trustee has or will imminently commence an adversary proceeding against G Fashion and G Fashion Media which adversary proceeding seeks, among other things, a declaratory judgment that G Fashion and G Fashion Media were the alter egos of the Debtor. The Trustee incorporates by reference herein, the Trustee's Complaint filed in such adversary proceeding.\n\n<span id=\"page-5-1\"></span><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.[6](#page-6-0)\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, [7](#page-6-1) led by the Debtor[8](#page-6-2) and/or served \"the purposes of… and as business vehicles of\" the Debtor.[9](#page-6-3)\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.[10](#page-6-4)\n\n<span id=\"page-6-0\"></span><sup>6</sup> *Order Granting Motion to Hold Debtor in Contempt of Corporate Governance Order,* ¶¶ 1, 4 (Jan. 24, 2023, Docket No. 1372 (\"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 G Fashion and G Fashion Media, 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.[11](#page-7-0) The Debtor scheduled only \\$3,850 in assets.[12](#page-7-1)\n\n<span id=\"page-7-0\"></span><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<span id=\"page-7-1\"></span><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.\"[13](#page-8-0)\n\n24. The property of the Debtor's alter egos, including G Fashion and G Fashion Media, 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(as defined herein).\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\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<span id=\"page-8-0\"></span><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. Transfers to the Defendant**\n\n30. Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor, using his alter ego shell company including G Fashion and G Fashion Media, 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 sections 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, G Fashion and G Fashion Media, with the actual intent to hinder, delay and/or defraud his creditors.\n\n35. The Debtor's intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud his creditors in effectuating the Transfers is shown by, among other things:\n\n- a. The Transfers were effectuated using alter-ego shell companies;\n- b. 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\n36. The Transfers are avoidable by the Trustee pursuant to section 548(a)(i)(A) of the\n\nBankruptcy 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.

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, G Fashion and G Fashion Media, with the actual intent to hinder, delay and/or defraud his creditors.\n\n9\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\n- a. The Transfers were effectuated using alter-ego shell companies;\n- b. 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*[Remainder of Page is Intentionally Left 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以其在Ho Wan Kwok（下称“债务人”或“Kwok”）第11章案件（下称“第11章案件”）中获任命的第11章受托人（下称“受托人”）身份，对被告Shaylen Music LLC（下称“被告”）提交本对抗程序起诉状（下称“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及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及Genever Holdings Corporation的邮寄地址为Paul Hastings LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166，收件人：Luc A. Despins，作为Ho Wan Kwok财产团受托人（仅为通知及通信之目的）。\n\n诉讼性质\n\n1. 受托人提起本对抗程序，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。\n\n2. 债务人通过其另我空壳公司G Fashion（G时尚）和G Fashion Media Group, Inc.（G时尚媒体集团公司），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$775,000.00的资金。\n\n3. 该等转让构成实际欺诈，因为债务人作为其“空壳把戏”的一部分实施该等转让，且该等转让系意图阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债务人的债权人而作出。\n\n管辖权和审判地\n\n4. 本法院根据28 U.S.C. § 1334(b)，对本对抗程序具有事项管辖权。\n\n5. 本对抗程序根据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（下称“破产法典”）第544、548及550条，以及《纽约债务人及债权人法》第273、274及276条[2]或任何其他适用的州法等同规定。\n\n当事人\n\n2 对《纽约债务人及债权人法》的所有法条引用，以下均称为“N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law”。《纽约统一可撤销交易法》（“NYUVT”）取代《纽约统一欺诈性让与法》（“NYUFC”），并于2020年4月4日生效，适用于在2020年4月4日当日或之后作出的转让或承担的义务。对于2020年4月4日之前的转让，受托人在本诉讼中根据NYUFC及N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law第273、273a、275、276及278条寻求救济。\n\n7. 受托人系第11章案件中的第11章受托人，依据破产法院于2022年7月8日作出的命令[案件编号22-50073（下称“主案”）案卷编号523]。\n\n8. 被告为加利福尼亚州有限责任公司，其地址及营业地点位于5633 Irvine Avenue, Los Angeles, California 91601。\n\n事实\n\nA. 第11章案件\n\n9. 债务人于2022年2月15日（下称“申请日”）在United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut（康涅狄格联邦破产法院）（下称“破产法院”）根据《美国法典》第11编（下称“破产法典”）第11章自愿提交救济申请，从而启动上述标题所示第11章案件（下称“第11章案件”）。\n\n10. 2022年3月21日，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声称，其拥有$3,850资产，并承担数亿美元债务[.]3 虽然债务人的确负债累累，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G Fashion和G Fashion Media，持有和/或转让的财产。\n\n12. 2022年6月15日，法院作出决定备忘录及命令[主案案卷编号465]，指示美国受托人在第11章案件中任命第11章受托人。依该命令，美国受托人选定Luc A. Despins担任受托人。2022年7月8日，法院作出命令，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程序\n\n13. G Fashion和G Fashion Media属于债务人用于阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的众多另我空壳公司。[4] 多年来，债务人策划了一场“空壳把戏”，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。该空壳把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。\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，确认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；在数项对抗程序中，破产法院已准予该等救济。[5]\n\n15. 这些诉讼中的事实模式一贯包括：(i) 由债务人控制、由近亲属和/或下属持有的空壳公司，(ii) 以现金购买的资产\n\n4 受托人已或将立即对G Fashion和G Fashion Media提起对抗程序；该对抗程序除其他事项外，请求作出确认判决，确认G Fashion和G Fashion Media系债务人的另我。受托人在此援引并入受托人在该对抗程序中提交的起诉状。\n\n5 这些对抗程序包括：(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 International Funds Investments（USA）有限责任公司）等 [Adv. Proc. No. 22-05003]；(ii) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人，诉 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，诉 Mei Guo（郭梅）[Adv. Proc. No. 23-05008]；(iv) Luc A.

Proc. 23-05023]。\n\n其他由债务人控制的实体，和/或无偿转移至或在空壳实体之间转移，以及 (iii) 债务人从该等资产中受益并对其享有控制权和支配权。\nC. 债务人为阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债权人所实施的行为\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，债务人为 Ace Decade Limited（艾斯十年有限公司）（并通过该公司为 Dawn State Limited（曙光州有限公司））的实益所有人，且债务人控制并使用了 Ace Decade Limited 的名义股东 Yvette Wang（王伊薇特）。[6]\n\n17. 破产法院还认定，“G Entities”（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厨师所有，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\n6 准许要求认定债务人藐视公司治理命令之动议的命令，第¶¶ 1, 4项 (Jan. 24, 2023, Docket No. 1372 (\"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”）的追收工作，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 从纽约法院获得针对债务人的 $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），债务人虚假声称该船为其女儿所有；以及债务人在曼哈顿的豪华公寓，债务人虚假声称该公寓由信托为债务人的儿子持有。债务人在判决后程序中违抗纽约法院命令，最终导致债务人被处以 $134 million 的藐视法庭罚款。\n\n20. 债务人还将其另我实体，包括 G Fashion 和 G Fashion Media，作为私人钱袋，用以资助其本人及家人已经习惯的奢华生活方式，同时将资产隐匿于这些另我实体中以躲避其债权人，并阻碍和拖延债权人就其债权获得清偿。债务人通过这些另我实体实施的转移，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，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予以资助。[11] 债务人仅申报了 $3,850 的资产。[12]\n\n11 关于债务人请求作出临时及最终DIP命令之动议的听证会：(I) 授权债务人获得无担保、次级的申请后融资；(II) 安排临时及最终听证会；以及 (III) 准予相关救济 (Main Case, April 27, 2022)\n\n12 见注3\n\n22. 2023年3月，债务人被捕，并持续被羁押，等待就包括电信欺诈、证券欺诈和洗钱在内的联邦刑事指控受审。\n\n23. 美国政府在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，洗白了超过 $1 billion 的欺诈所得。”[13]\n\n24. 债务人的另我实体的财产，包括 G Fashion 和 G Fashion Media，在申请日之前始终属于债务人的财产。\n\n25. 在本案相关的所有期间，债务人在纽约州纽约市开展业务，包括指挥转移（定义见下文）。\nD. 为阻碍、拖延或欺诈债权人而作出的转移\n\n26. 本起诉状中争议的转移，均系通过作为债务人空壳游戏一部分运作的债务人另我空壳公司作出，因而具有阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债务人债权人的意图。\n\n27. 债务人故意以此方式安排其财务事务，以在向其众多债权人虚假声称贫困的同时，隐匿和耗散数百万美元资产。债务人声称自己身无分文，同时却大肆支出，以维持其本人、家庭成员和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，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）就受托人强制履行动议及相关救济请求提出的补充异议之答复 (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. 债务人知道并意图通过以此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——包括其众多欺诈行为的受害人。因此，这些转移必然是出于阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债务人债权人的意图而作出。\nE. 向被告作出的转移\n\n30. 在申请日之前，债务人通过其包括 G Fashion 和 G Fashion Media 在内的另我空壳公司，或以其他方式，向被告转移债务人的财产（统称“转移”），包括但不限于如下：\n\n见附于本文件并构成本文件一部分的附件A。\n\n31. 在转移时，债务人对债务人财产的债权人负有未清偿债务。\n\n32. 被告是该等转移的初始受让人。\n第一项请求\n（根据《破产法典》第548(a)(1)(A)条和第550(a)条撤销并追回实际欺诈性转移之请求）\n\n33. 受托人重复陈述并再次主张第1至32段所载指控，如同在本文件中完整列明。\n\n34. 债务人通过其另我实体 G Fashion 和 G Fashion Media 作出转移时，具有阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的实际意图。\n\n35. 债务人在实施转移时阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的意图，除其他事项外，可由以下事实证明：\n\na. 该等转移系利用另我空壳公司实施；\n\nb. 该等转移对债务人的债权人予以隐瞒；\n\nc. 该等转移是债务人“空壳游戏”的一部分，在债务人控制的家庭成员及其他副手和下属的协助下实施，以隐匿和保护资产；\n\nd. 该等转移通过使债务人能够从其欺诈中受益，而不使其财产受到其债权人追索，进一步实施了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\ne. 该等转移通过使债务人能够从其欺诈中获利，而不使其财产受到其债权人追索，进一步实施了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\nf. 在转移时，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. 在转移时，债务人已无清偿能力或资本不足。\n\n36. 受托人可根据《破产法典》第548(a)(i)(A)条撤销该等转移，并可根据《破产法典》第550(a)条追回该等转移。\n第二项请求\n（根据 N.Y.
