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\nIn re:\n\nHO WAN KWOK, *et al*.,[1](#page-2-0)\n\nChapter 11\n\nCase No. 22-50073 (JAM)\n\nDebtors.\n\n(Jointly Administered)\n\n----------------------------------------------------- x\n\nLUC A.

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 Super Star Project Limited (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, Lamp Capital LLC (\"Lamp Capital\") and Leading Shine NY Ltd. (\"Leading Shine\"), transferred funds in the amount of \\$566,348.83 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](#page-3-0) or any other applicable state law equivalents.\n\n 2 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 section 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 foreign company with an address at 392 Kwun Tong Road, Millennium City 6, Floor 9, Hong Kong, China.\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](#page-4-0) 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 Lamp Capital and Leading Shine.\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\n 3 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. Lamp Capital and Leading Shine are among of 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 such adversary proceedings the Bankruptcy Court has already granted such relief. [5](#page-5-1)\n\n 4 The 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\nDefault has entered against Leading Shine in the adversary proceeding *Despins v. Lamp Capital LLC, et al.* (Adv. Proc. No. 23-5023 (the \"Lamp Capital A.P.\"), Docket No. 13), which adversary proceeding seeks, among other things, a declaratory judgment that Leading Shine was the alter ego of the Debtor. 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-\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](#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\n\n 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\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](#page-7-0)\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 Lamp Capital and Leading Shine, 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\n 10 *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](#page-8-0) The Debtor scheduled only \\$3,850 in assets.[12](#page-8-1)\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-8-2)\n\n24. The property of the Debtor's alter egos, including Lamp Capital and Leading Shine, 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\n 11 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, Lamp Capital and Leading Shine, 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 egos, Lamp Capital and Leading Shine, 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\na. The Transfers were effectuated using alter-ego shell companies;\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\n- f. At the time of the Transfers, the Debtor was being sued, including by PAX in the PAX Case; and\n\t- g. 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\n9\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, Lamp Capital and Leading Shine, 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\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.

Despins（卢克·A·德斯平斯）以其作为在 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）（“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”）的身份，针对被告 Super Star Project Limited（Super Star项目有限公司）（“被告”）提交本对抗起诉状（“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，以撤销并追回在本第 11 章案件开始前发生的债务人财产转让。\n\n2. 债务人通过其另我空壳公司 Lamp Capital LLC（“Lamp Capital”）及 Leading Shine NY Ltd.（“Leading Shine”），于申请日（定义如下）之前向作为初始受让人的被告转让了金额为 \\$566,348.83 的资金。\n\n3. 该等转让属于实际欺诈性转让，因为债务人作为其“空壳游戏”的一部分实施该等转让，且其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管辖权和审理地\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. 本对抗程序已根据 28 U.S.C. § 157(a)移交本法院审理。\n\n6. 本文所寻求救济的法定依据包括《美国法典》第 11 编（“破产法”）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等同规定。\n\n2 下文中对《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”）取代了《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 N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law 第 273、273a、275、276 及 278 条寻求救济。\n\n当事人\n\n7. 受托人系根据破产法院于 July 8, 2022 作出的命令，在本第 11 章案件中担任第 11 章受托人[案件编号 22-50073（“主案件”）案卷编号 523]。\n\n8. 被告是一家外国公司，地址为 392 Kwun Tong Road, Millennium City 6, Floor 9, Hong Kong, China。\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）（“破产法院”）根据《美国法典》第 11 编（“破产法”）第 11 章提交了自愿救济申请（“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, 2022，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 的资产，并已产生数亿美元的负债。[3] 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 Lamp Capital 和 Leading Shine）持有和/或转让的财产。\n\n12. 于 June 15, 2022，破产法院作出裁判备忘录及命令[主案件案卷编号 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（卢克·A·德斯平斯）担任受托人。于 July 8, 2022，破产法院作出命令，批准任命 Luc A. Despins（卢克·A·德斯平斯）为第 11 章案件的受托人[主案件案卷编号 523]。\n\n3 资产和负债清单，第 1 页[主案件案卷编号 78]。\n\nB. 债务人对空壳公司的使用及受托人的对抗程序\n\n13. Lamp Capital 和 Leading Shine 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，债务人一直策划“空壳游戏”，利用一个错综复杂的空壳公司网络；这些公司名义上由家庭成员、亲信和/或下属所有，但实际上由债务人控制。该空壳游戏使债务人得以使用、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，其中包括确立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；在若干该等对抗程序中，破产法院已准予该等救济。[5]\n\n4 法院已作出判决，认定Lamp Capital（兰普资本）为债务人的另一个自我。见Despins v. Lamp Capital LLC, et al.（Despins诉Lamp Capital LLC等案）（对抗程序案号23-5023，以下简称“Lamp Capital A.P.”，案卷编号66）。受托人特此援引并入受托人在Lamp Capital A.P.中提交的起诉书（对抗程序案号23-5023，案卷编号1）。\n\n在对抗程序Despins v. Lamp Capital LLC, et al.（Despins诉Lamp Capital LLC等案）（对抗程序案号23-5023，以下简称“Lamp Capital A.P.”，案卷编号13）中，已对Leading Shine（利丁·沙因）作出缺席判决；该对抗程序除其他事项外，请求作出确认判决，认定Leading Shine为债务人的另一个自我。受托人特此援引并入受托人在Lamp Capital A.P.中提交的起诉书（对抗程序案号23-5023，案卷编号1）。\n\n5 这些对抗程序包括如下案件：(i) Luc A. Despins（卢克·A·德斯潘斯），第11章受托人诉HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC（香港国际基金投资（美国）有限责任公司）等案 [对抗程序案号22-05003]；(ii) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人诉Greenwich Land LLC（格林尼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（郭梅）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23-05017]；(vi) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人诉Golden Spring (New York) Limited（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等案 [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) 以来自其他由债务人控制的实体的现金购置，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获益，并对该等资产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. 除受托人的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）（并通过其为Dawn State Limited（曙光州有限公司））的实际受益所有人，且债务人控制并利用了Ace Decade Limited的名义股东Yvette Wang（王燕平）。[6]\n\n17. 破产法院还认定，“G实体”（Gettr、G Fashion、G Music、GClubs、GNews和GEdu）、New Federal State of China（新中国联邦）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工具”。[9]\n\n18. 在申请日之前，United States District Court for the Southern District of New York（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）——该实体在转让给债务人女儿之前原由债务人的一名厨师所有——“实质上是”债务人的一家空壳公司。[10]\n\n6 关于批准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（“公司治理藐视法庭命令”）。\n\n7 经更正的部分准予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（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（吹哨人运动）、NFSC、ROLF和Himalaya（喜马拉雅）的领导人。”）。\n\n9 同上。（“吹哨人运动、NFSC、ROLF、GSeries和喜马拉雅服务于债务人的目的，作为债务人的商业工具，其成员对债务人个人忠诚。”）。\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，以下简称“PAX”）的追偿工作，采取了极大措施。2017年，PAX在Supreme Court of the State of New York（纽约州最高法院，以下简称“纽约法院”）以索引号652077/2017提起针对债务人的诉讼（以下简称“PAX案”），请求就所欠款项作出判决。February 3, 2021，PAX从纽约法院获得针对债务人的$116,402,019.57判决（以下简称“PAX判决”）。PAX试图通过扣押债务人的资产来执行PAX判决——包括Lady May（梅夫人号），债务人虚假声称该资产归其女儿所有；以及债务人在曼哈顿的豪华公寓，债务人虚假声称该公寓由信托为债务人的儿子持有。债务人在判决后程序中藐视纽约法院命令的行为，最终导致债务人承担$134 million的藐视法庭罚款。\n\n20. 债务人还将其另一个自我，包括Lamp Capital和Leading Shine，用作个人钱袋，为其本人及家人已习惯的奢靡生活提供资金，同时将资产隐匿于该等另一个自我中以规避债权人，并阻碍和拖延债权人就其债权获得追偿。债务人通过该等另一个自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（东方利润有限公司诉战略愿景美国有限责任公司）, 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，其奢靡生活由其家人通过名义上由家庭成员持有的企业提供资金。[11] 债务人仅申报$3,850的资产。[12]\n\n22. 2023年3月，债务人被逮捕，并一直被羁押候审，其面临的联邦刑事指控包括但不限于电信欺诈、证券欺诈和洗钱。\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超过约500个账户，洗白了超过$1 billion的欺诈所得。”[13]\n\n24. 债务人的另一个自我，包括Lamp Capital和Leading Shine，其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时期内，债务人在纽约州纽约市开展业务，包括指示转让（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. 本起诉书所涉转让，系为阻碍、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个自我空壳公司作出，而该等公司作为债务人空壳游戏的一部分运营。\n\n见随附并构成本文件组成部分的附表A。\n\n27. 债务人故意以此种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。债务人声称身无分文，却同时大肆支出，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的受害人处获取的资金。由于该等行为，债务人在United States District Court for the Southern District of New York（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（美国诉郭文贵案）, 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种方式隐匿和耗散其资产，将不会留有足够资产清偿其债权人——包括其欺诈行为的众多受害人。因此，该等转让必然是为了阻碍、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，债务人使用其另一个自我空壳公司Lamp Capital和Leading Shine，或以其他方式，向被告转让债务人的财产（统称“转让”），包括但不限于如下：\n\n见随附并构成本文件组成部分的附表A。\n\n31. 在转让时，债务人对债务人财产的债权人负有未清偿义务。\n\n32. 被告为该等转让的初始受让人。\n\n第一项请求\n\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让之请求）\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. 债务人通过其另一个自我Lamp Capital和Leading Shine，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. 债务人在实施转让时阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的意图，除其他事项外，由下列事实表明：\n\na. 该等转让系利用另一个自我空壳公司实施；\n\nb. 该等转让被隐瞒而未向债务人的债权人披露；\n\nc. 该等转让是在债务人家人及其控制的其他亲信和下属协助下，作为债务人“空壳游戏”的一部分实施，以图隐匿和保护资产；\n\nd. 该等转让通过使债务人从其欺诈行为中获益，而不使其财产受债权人追索，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从其欺诈行为中获利，而不使其财产受债权人追索，进一步促成了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\nf. 在转让时，债务人正遭受诉讼，包括PAX在PAX案中对其提起的诉讼；以及\n\ng. 在转让时，债务人资不抵债或资本不足。\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\n第二项请求\n\n（根据《纽约债务人与债权人法》第273、274和276条，以及《破产法典》第544(b)条和第550(a)条撤销并追回实际欺诈性转让之请求）\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. 债务人通过其另一个自我公司Lamp Capital和Leading Shine，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. 债务人在实施转让时阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的意图，除其他事项外，由下列事实表明：\n\na. 该等转让系利用另一个自我空壳公司实施；\n\nb. 该等转让被隐瞒而未向债务人的债权人披露；\n\nc. 该等转让是在债务人家人及其控制的其他亲信和下属协助下，作为债务人“空壳游戏”的一部分实施，以图隐匿和保护资产；\n\nd. 该等转让通过使债务人从其欺诈行为中获益，而不使其财产受债权人追索，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从其欺诈行为中获利，而不使其财产受债权人追索，进一步促成了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\nf. 在转让时，债务人正遭受诉讼，包括PAX在PAX案中对其提起的诉讼；以及\n\ng. 在转让时，债务人资不抵债或资本不足。\n\n40. 根据《纽约州债务与债权法》sections 273(a)(1)、274 和 276，以及《破产法典》section 544(b)，该等转让可由受托人撤销，并可依据《破产法典》section 550(a)予以追回。\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，宣告金额不少于 $566,348.83 的该等转让依据《破产法典》section 548(a)(1)(A)予以撤销；(b) 作出命令，指示撤销该等转让；以及 (c) 依据《破产法典》section 550(a)(1)，为债务人破产财产的利益，向被告追回该等转让，或由受托人选择追回其价值；\n\n2. 就第二项请求，(a) 作出命令，宣告金额不少于 $566,348.83 的该等转让依据《破产法典》section 544(b)及 N.Y.
