PRINT NAME OF ATTORNEY (OR PLAINTIFF) | | |\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 Nardello & Co., 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 companies, Lexington Property and Staffing Inc. (\"Lexington\") and Lamp Capital LLC (\"Lamp Capital\") transferred funds in the amount of \\$258,115.83 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 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 New York limited liability company with an address and place of business at 565 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2200, New York, New York 10017.\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.3 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 Lexington and Lamp Capital.\n\n12. On June 15, 2022, the Bankruptcy 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.\n\n3 Schedule of Assets and Liabilities, at 1 [Main Case Docket No. 78].\n\nDespins as the Trustee. On July 8, 2022, the Bankruptcy 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 and Lamp Capital are some of 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, 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 the Bankruptcy Court has already granted such relief.5\n\n4 A 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 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\nThe Court has entered judgment to the effect that Lamp Capital was the Debtor's alter ego. *See Despins v. Lamp Capital LLC, et al.* (Adv. Proc. No. 23-5023 (the \"Lamp Capital A.P.\"), Docket No. 66). The Trustee incorporates by reference herein, the Trustee's Complaint filed in the Lamp Capital A.P. (Adv. Proc. No. 23-5023, 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\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 Debtor,7 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\n6 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\n7 *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\n8 *Id*. at ¶ 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 the Debtor's chefs 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 and Lamp Capital, 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 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\n\n24. The property of the Debtor's alter egos, including Lexington and Lamp Capital, 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\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, using his alter ego shell companies including Lexington and Lamp Capital, 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\n8\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 egos, Lexington and Lamp Capital, 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 perpetrating the\n\nTransfers 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- c. 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\n\ncontrolled 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 companies, Lexington and Lamp Capital, 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 perpetrating the\n\nTransfers 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- c. 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 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. On the First Claim, (a) an order declaring that the Transfers in an amount not less than \\$258,115.83 are avoided pursuant to section 548(a)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code; (b) an order directing that the Transfers be set aside; and (c) recovery of the Transfers, 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. On the Second Claim, (a) an order declaring that the Transfers in an amount not less than \\$258,115.83 are avoided pursuant to section 544(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and N.Y. Debt. & Cred.

Despins以其在Ho Wan Kwok（“债务人”或“Kwok”）第11章案件（“第11章案件”）中获任命的第11章受托人（“受托人”）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（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，转交Ho Wan Kwok破产财产受托人Luc A. Despins（仅供通知和通信之用）。\n\n对Nardello & Co., LLC（“被告”）提起本对抗起诉状（“起诉状”），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Lexington Property and Staffing Inc.（“Lexington”）和Lamp Capital LLC（“Lamp Capital”），在申请日（定义如下）之前向作为初始受让人的被告转让了金额为\\$258,115.83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，且该等转让系意图阻碍、拖延及／或欺诈债务人的债权人而作出。\n\n管辖权和审判地\n\n4. 本法院依据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及550条，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 下文对《纽约州债务人与债权人法》的所有法条引用均称为“N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law”。《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，受托人在本案中依据NYUFC及《纽约州债务人与债权人法》第273、273a、275、276及278条寻求救济。\n\n当事人\n\n7. 受托人系第11章案件中的第11章受托人，依据破产法院于July 8, 2022作出的命令获任命[案件编号22-50073（“主案”）案卷编号523]。\n\n8. 被告是一家纽约有限责任公司，其地址及营业地点位于565 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2200, New York, New York 10017。\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（“破产法院”）依据《美国法典》第11编第11章（“破产法典”）提交了自愿破产救济申请（“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, 2022，Office of the United States Trustee（美国受托人办公室）在本第11章案件中任命了无担保债权人正式委员会。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声称，其拥有\\$3,850资产，并产生了数亿美元负债。3 尽管债务人确实负债累累，但其财产清单未披露债务人通过其众多另我空壳公司持有及／或转让的财产，包括Lexington和Lamp Capital。\n\n12. 于June 15, 2022，破产法院作出备忘决定及命令[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。根据该命令，美国受托人选定Luc A.\n\n3 资产和负债清单，第1页[主案案卷编号78]。\n\nDespins担任受托人。于July 8, 2022，破产法院作出命令，批准Luc A. Despins担任第11章案件中的受托人[主案案卷编号523]。\n\nB. 债务人使用空壳公司及受托人的对抗程序\n\n13. Lexington和Lamp Capital是债务人用以阻碍、拖延及／或欺诈其债权人的众多另我空壳公司中的两家。4 多年来，债务人一直策划一场“空壳游戏”，利用由家庭成员、亲信及／或下属名义持有、但实际由债务人控制的错综复杂的空壳公司网络。该空壳游戏使债务人能够使用、支出及／或转让数百万美元现金和其他资产。\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，旨在除其他事项外确认债务人的空壳公司系其另我及／或该等公司及其资产在衡平法上归债务人所有；在其中若干案件中，破产法院已准予该等救济。5\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，Lexington 已被作出缺席裁定；该对抗程序除其他外，请求作出确认判决，确认 Lexington 为债务人的另我。受托人在此援引其在 HCHK Entities A.P. 中提交的起诉状（对抗程序案号 23-5013，Docket No. 1）。\n\n法院已作出判决，认定 Lamp Capital 是债务人的另我。见 Despins v. Lamp Capital LLC, et al.（对抗程序案号 23-5023（“Lamp Capital A.P.”），Docket No. 66）。受托人在此援引其在 Lamp Capital A.P. 中提交的起诉状（对抗程序案号 23-5023，Docket No. 1）。\n\n5 其中包括以下对抗程序：(i) Luc A. Despins（Luc A. Despins），第 11 章受托人 v. HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC，et al. [对抗程序案号 22-05003]；(ii) Luc A. Despins，第 11 章受托人 v. Greenwich Land LLC，et al. [对抗程序案号 23-05005]；(iii) Luc A. Despins，第 11 章受托人 v. Mei Guo（郭美）[对抗程序案号 23-05008]；(iv) Luc A. Despins，第 11 章受托人 v. HCHK Technologies, Inc.，et al. [对抗程序案号 23-05013]；(v) Luc A. Despins，第 11 章受托人 v. Taurus Fund LLC，et al. [对抗程序案号 23-05017]；(vi) Luc A. Despins，第 11 章受托人 v. Golden Spring (New York) Limited [对抗程序案号 23-05018]；以及 (vii) Luc A. Despins，第 11 章受托人 v. Lamp Capital LLC，et al. [对抗程序案号 23-05023]。\n\n15. 这些诉讼中的事实模式一贯涉及：(i) 由近亲属和/或下属持有的、由债务人控制的空壳公司，(ii) 使用来自其他由债务人控制实体的现金购置的资产，和/或在各空壳实体之间无偿转移的资产，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及支配权。\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处理的事项外，破产法院已认定，债务人是 Ace Decade Limited（Ace Decade有限公司）（并通过该公司成为 Dawn State Limited（Dawn State有限公司））的实益所有人，且债务人控制并利用了 Ace Decade Limited 的名义股东 Yvette Wang（王雁平）。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，均由债务人控制，7 由债务人领导8，和/或服务于债务人的“目的……并作为其商业工具”。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（Eastern Profit有限公司）这一实体在转让给债务人的女儿之前最初由债务人的一名厨师持有，实质上是债务人的“空壳公司”。10\n\n6 关于准许要求认定债务人违反公司治理命令之藐视法庭动议的命令，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的裁决备忘录，第¶ 3段（对抗程序案号 22-05032，January 13, 2023（“债务人还控制 Saraca Media Group（Saraca传媒集团）及关联实体‘GTV’。”））。\n\n8 同上，第¶ 7段（“债务人是 The Whistleblower Movement（吹哨人运动）、NFSC、ROLF 和 Himalaya（喜马拉雅）的领导人。”）。\n\n9 同上（“The Whistleblower Movement、NFSC、ROLF、GSeries 和 Himalaya 服务于债务人的目的，作为债务人的商业工具，其成员个人上忠于债务人。”）。\n\n19. 债务人为阻碍和拖延其最大债权人之一 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”）的追偿工作而煞费苦心。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 从纽约州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执行 PAX 判决，包括 Lady May（“Lady May”号游艇）——债务人虚假声称其归其女儿所有——以及债务人在曼哈顿的豪华公寓——债务人虚假声称该公寓以信托形式为债务人的儿子持有。债务人在判决后程序中藐视纽约州法院命令的行为，最终导致债务人被处以 \\$134 million 的藐视法庭罚款。\n\n20. 债务人还将其另我，包括 Lexington 和 Lamp Capital，作为个人的提款机，用于资助其本人及其家人已经习惯的奢靡生活方式，同时将资产隐匿于该等另我之中，以逃避债权人，并阻碍和拖延债权人就其债权获得清偿。债务人通过该等另我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，其资产不足以清偿其负债，其奢华生活方式由其家人通过名义上由家人持有的企业提供资金。11 债务人仅申报 \\$3,850 的资产。12\n\n22. 2023 年 3 月，债务人被逮捕，并在就包括电信欺诈、证券欺诈和洗钱在内的联邦刑事指控受审前一直被羁押。\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超过约 500 个账户，洗白超过 \\$1 billion 的欺诈所得。”13\n\n24. 债务人的另我，包括 Lexington 和 Lamp Capital 的财产，在申请日之前的任何时候均为债务人的财产。\n\n25. 在本案相关的所有时间内，债务人在纽约州纽约市开展业务，包括指挥转让（定义见下文）。\n\nD. 为阻碍、拖延或欺诈债权人而作出的转让\n\n26. 本起诉状所涉转让均通过作为债务人“空壳游戏”一部分运营的债务人另我空壳公司作出，因此均系为阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债务人的债权人而作出。\n\n11 关于债务人请求作出临时及终局 DIP 命令的听证会，该命令：(I) 授权债务人获得无担保、次级的申请后融资，及 (II) 安排临时及终局听证会，以及 (III) 授予相关救济（主案，April 27, 2022）。\n\n12 见注释 3。\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 补充反对受托人强制履行动议及相关救济请求的答复（June 23, 2023，主案 Docket No. 1934）。\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声称贫困。债务人声称自己一贫如洗，同时却大量支出，以维持其本人、家人及密切关联人士的亿万富翁生活方式。\n\n28. 债务人隐匿和耗散的资产包括其从加密货币、证券及其他欺诈计划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. 债务人明知并意图通过以该方式隐匿和耗散其资产，使其不再有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，该等转让必然是为阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债务人的债权人而作出。\n\nE. 向被告作出的转让\n\n30. 在申请日之前，债务人通过其另我空壳公司，包括 Lexington 和 Lamp Capital，或以其他方式，将债务人的财产转让给被告（合称“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表 A。\n\n31. 在作出转让时，债务人对债务人破产财产的债权人负有未清偿债务。\n\n32. 被告是该等转让的初始受让人。\n\n第一项请求\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）\n\n33. 受托人重述并再次主张第 1 至 32 段所载指控，如同在此完整列明。\n\n34. 债务人通过其另我 Lexington 和 Lamp Capital，以实际阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的意图作出该等转让。\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，除其他外，可由下列事实证明：\n\na. 该等转让是通过另我空壳公司实施的；\n\nb. 该等转让被向债务人的债权人隐瞒；\n\nc. 该等转让是债务人在其控制的家人及其他亲信和下属协助下，为隐匿和保护资产而实施的“空壳游戏”的一部分；\n\nd. 该等转让通过使债务人在不使其财产受债权人追索的情况下从其欺诈行为中受益，进一步促成了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\ne. 该等转让通过使债务人在不使其财产受债权人追索的情况下从其欺诈行为中获利，进一步促成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 Case 中对其提起的诉讼；以及\n\ng. 在作出该等转让时，债务人无清偿能力或资本不足。\n\n36. 该等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（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 至 32 段所载指控，如同在此完整列明。\n\n38. 债务人通过其另我公司 Lexington 和 Lamp Capital，以实际阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的意图作出该等转让。\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，除其他外，可由下列事实证明：\n\na. 该等转让是通过另我空壳公司实施的；\n\nb. 该等转让被向债务人的债权人隐瞒；\n\nc. 该等转让是债务人在其控制的家人及其他亲信和下属协助下，为隐匿和保护资产而实施的“空壳游戏”的一部分；\n\nd. 该等转让通过使债务人在不使其财产受债权人追索的情况下从其欺诈行为中受益，进一步促成了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\ne. 该等转让通过使债务人在不使其财产受债权人追索的情况下从其欺诈行为中获利，进一步促成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 Case 中对其提起的诉讼；以及\n\ng. 在作出该等转让时，债务人无清偿能力或资本不足。\n\n40. 根据 N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law sections 273(a)(1)、274 和 276，以及 Bankruptcy Code 第 544(b) 条，该等转让可由受托人撤销，并可根据 Bankruptcy Code 第 550(a) 条予以追偿。\n\n[本页其余部分有意留白]\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，（a）作出命令，宣告金额不低于 \\$258,115.83 的该等转让根据 Bankruptcy Code 第 548(a)(1)(A) 条予以撤销；（b）作出命令，指示撤销该等转让；以及（c）根据 Bankruptcy Code 第 550(a)(1) 条，为债务人财产之利益，向被告追偿该等转让，或由受托人选择追偿其价值；\n\n2. 就第二项请求，（a）作出命令，宣告金额不低于 \\$258,115.83 的该等转让根据 Bankruptcy Code 第 544(b) 条及 N.Y.
