**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|                                                             | :<br>:<br>Chapter 11                                                                                                       |\n| 1                                                           | :<br>:<br>Case No. 22-50073 (JAM)                                                                                          |\n| Debtors.                                                    | :<br>:<br>(Jointly Administered)<br>:                                                                                      |\n| LUC A.

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, G Club Operations LLC (\"GClub\"), transferred funds in the amount of \\$150,000.00 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](#page-3-0) or any other applicable state law equivalents.\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.

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 an Arizona limited liability company with an address of 5123 N. 43 Place, Phoenix, Arizona 85018.\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[.](#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 transferred through his many alter-ego shell companies, including GClub.\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\n<span id=\"page-4-0\"></span><sup>3</sup> Schedule of Assets and Liabilities, at 1 (Main Case, Docket No. 78).\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. Despins 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. GClub 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 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](#page-5-1)\n\n<span id=\"page-5-0\"></span><sup>4</sup> The Trustee has or will imminently commence an adversary proceeding against GClub, which adversary proceeding seeks, among other things, a declaratory judgment that GClub was the alter ego 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-\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<sup>05017];</sup> (vi) *Luc A.

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 GClub, 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<span id=\"page-7-0\"></span><sup>10</sup> *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 GClub, was at all times prior to the Petition Date property of the Debtor.\n\n25. At all times relevant herein, the Debtor conducted business in New York, New York, including direction of the Transfer (as defined herein).\n\n#### **D. Transfers Made with Intent to Hinder, Delay, or Defraud Creditors**\n\n26. The Transfer at issue in this Complaint were made with the intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud the Debtor's creditors inasmuch as they were all made through the Debtor's alterego shell companies operated as a part of the Debtor's shell game.\n\n<span id=\"page-8-0\"></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-8-1\"></span><sup>12</sup> *See* n.3.\n\n<span id=\"page-8-2\"></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\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. Transfer to the Defendant**\n\n30. Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor, through shell companies including GClub, or otherwise, transferred the Debtor's property to the Defendant (collectively, the \"Transfer\"), including, without limitation, as follows:\n\nSee **SCHEDULE A** attached hereto and made a part hereof.\n\n31. At the time of the Transfer, the Debtor had outstanding obligations to creditors of the Debtor's estate.\n\n32. The Defendant was the initial transferee of the Transfer.\n\n### **FIRST CLAIM**\n\n# **(Claim to Avoid and Recover Actual Fraudulent 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 Transfer was made by the Debtor through his alter ego, GClub, 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 Transfer is shown by, among other things:\n\t- a. The Transfer was effectuated using an alter-ego shell company;\n\t- b. The Transfer was concealed from the Debtor's creditors;\n\t- c. The Transfer was effectuated as part of the Debtor's \"shell game\" with the\n\naid of the Debtor's family members and other lieutenants and subordinates that he controlled in an effort to conceal and shield assets;\n\nd. The Transfer furthered the Debtor's fraudulent conduct by enabling the Debtor to benefit from his fraud without subjecting his property to the reach of his creditors;\n\ne. The Transfer furthered the Debtor's fraudulent conduct by enabling the Debtor to profit from his fraud without subjecting his property to the reach of his creditors;\n\nf. At the time of the Transfer, the Debtor was being sued, including by PAX in the PAX Case; and\n\ng. At the time of the Transfer, the Debtor was insolvent or undercapitalized.\n\n36. The Transfer is avoidable by the Trustee pursuant to Section 548(a)(1)(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 Transfer was made by the Debtor, through his alter ego company, GClub, with the actual intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud his creditors.\n\n39. The Debtor's intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud his creditors in effectuating the Transfer is shown by, among other things:\n\n- a. The Transfer was effectuated using an alter-ego shell company;\n- b. The Transfer was concealed from the Debtor's creditors;\n\nc.

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 Transfer.\n\n43. At the time of the Transfer, the Debtor was insolvent or became insolvent as a result of the Transfers.\n\n44. At the time of the Transfer, 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 Transfer, 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 Transfer constitutes a fraudulent transfer and is 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\n11\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.

Despins 为受托人。2022年7月8日，破产法院作出一项裁定，批准任命 Luc A. Despins 为第11章案件的受托人[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. GClub 是债务人用于阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的众多另我空壳公司之一。[4] 多年来，债务人策划了一场“空壳把戏”，利用由家庭成员和/或已知下属名义持有、但实际上由债务人控制的错综复杂的空壳公司网络。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，同时向债权人隐瞒其财产。\n\n14. 自获任命以来，受托人已在第11章案件中提起多项对抗程序，以实现包括确认债务人的空壳公司为其另我和/或该等公司及其资产在衡平法上归债务人所有在内的目的；且在若干该等对抗程序中，破产法院已经准许该等救济。[5]\n\n4 受托人已对或将立即对 GClub 提起一项对抗程序，该对抗程序寻求的救济包括确认判决，即 GClub 为债务人的另我。受托人将其在该对抗程序中提交的起诉状通过援引并入本文。\n\n5 这些包括下列对抗程序：(i) Luc A. Despins（卢克·A·德斯潘），第11章受托人诉HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC（HK国际基金投资〈美国〉有限公司）等案 [Adv. Proc. No. 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 [Adv.

Despins，第11章受托人诉Taurus Fund LLC（金牛基金有限责任公司）等案 [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05017]；(vi) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人诉Golden Spring (New York) Limited（Golden Spring〈纽约〉有限公司）案 [Adv. Proc. 23-05018]；及 (vii) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人诉Lamp Capital LLC（兰普资本有限责任公司）等案 [Adv. Proc. 23-05023]。\n\n15. 这些诉讼中的事实模式一贯包括：(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买的资产，和/或在空壳实体之间无对价转移的资产，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。\n\nC. 债务人为阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债权人而实施的行为\n\n16. 除受托人对抗程序中所处理的事项外，破产法院还认定，债务人是Ace Decade Limited（艾斯十年有限公司）（并通过该公司成为Dawn State Limited（曙光州有限公司））的实益所有人，且债务人控制并利用了Ace Decade Limited的名义股东Yvette Wang（王伊薇特）。[6]\n\n17. 破产法院还认定，“G Entities（G实体）”（Gettr（盖特尔）、G Fashion（G时尚）、G Music（G音乐）、GClubs（G俱乐部）、GNews（G新闻）和GEdu（G教育））、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载体”。[9]\n\n18. 在申请日之前，United States District Court for the Southern District of New York（美国纽约南区联邦地区法院）的Liman法官认定，Eastern Profit Corporation Limited（东方利润有限公司）——一家在转让给债务人的女儿之前由债务人的一名司机持有的实体——“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》的动议之命令，第1、4段（Jan. 24, 2023, Docket No. 1372（“公司治理藐视命令”））。\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（Adv.

No. 22-05032, January 13, 2023（“债务人还控制Saraca Media Group（萨拉卡媒体集团）及相关实体‘GTV’”））。\n\n8 同上，第7段（“债务人是The Whistleblower Movement（爆料革命）、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，作为债务人的商业载体，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，即Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund, L.P.（太平洋联盟亚洲机遇基金，简称“PAX”）的追偿工作，煞费苦心。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Index No. 652077/2017（以下简称“PAX案件”）起诉债务人，请求就所欠款项作出判决。2021年2月3日，PAX从纽约法院取得针对债务人的\\$116,402,019.57判决（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），债务人虚假声称该船归其女儿所有；以及债务人在曼哈顿的豪华公寓，债务人虚假声称该公寓为债务人的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，最终导致债务人承担\\$134 million的藐视法庭罚款。\n\n20. 债务人还将其另我实体，包括GClub（G俱乐部），用作个人钱罐，在将资产隐匿于这些另我实体、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经习惯的奢华生活方式提供资金。债务人通过这些另我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，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接受审判。\n\n23. 美国政府在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，清洗了超过\\$1 billion的欺诈所得”。[13]\n\n24. 在申请日之前的任何时候，债务人的另我实体（包括GClub）的财产均为债务人的财产。\n\n25. 在与本案有关的任何时候，债务人在New York, New York从事商业活动，包括指示该转让（定义如下）。\n\nD. 为阻碍、拖延或欺诈债权人而作出的转让\n\n26. 本起诉状所涉转让系出于阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债务人债权人的意图作出，因为该等转让均通过债务人的另我空壳公司作出，该等公司作为债务人空壳游戏的一部分运营。\n\n11 关于债务人提出的作出临时及最终DIP命令的动议之听证会：(I) 授权债务人获得无担保、次级的申请后融资，及 (II) 安排临时及最终听证会，及 (III) 给予相关救济（Main Case, April 27, 2022）。\n\n12 见注3。\n\n13 见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章受托人就G Club Operations LLC的补充异议所作答复中，该补充异议反对受托人提出的强制执行动议及相关救济请求（June 23, 2023, Main Case Docket No. 1934）。\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。债务人声称自己一贫如洗，却同时大肆花费，为其本人、其家庭成员和亲密同伴维持亿万富翁的生活方式。\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者处取得的资金。由于该等行为，债务人在United States District Court for the Southern District of New York面临一宗尚在审理的刑事案件中的多项重罪欺诈、洗钱和敲诈勒索指控。参见United States v. Ho Wan Kwok（美国诉Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵））, case no. 1:23-cr-00118-AT [ECF No. 215] (Jan. 3, 2024 S.D.N.Y.)。\n\n29. 债务人明知并意图通过以此方式隐匿和耗散其资产，将不会留有足够资产偿还其债权人——包括其诸多欺诈行为的受害者。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的。\n\nE. 向被告作出的转让\n\n30. 在申请日之前，债务人通过包括GClub在内的空壳公司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一部分的附表A。\n\n31. 在转让时，债务人对债务人破产财产的债权人负有未清偿义务。\n\n32. 被告是该转让的初始受让人。\n\n第一项请求\n（根据 Bankruptcy Code §§ 548(a)(1)(A) and 550(a) 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段所载指称，如同在本文件中完整列明。\n\n34. 债务人通过其另我实体GClub作出该转让时，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，可由下列事实证明：\na. 该转让系使用一家另我空壳公司实施；\nb. 该转让被向债务人的债权人隐瞒；\nc. 该转让是债务人“空壳游戏”的一部分，其在债务人的家庭成员以及其控制的其他得力助手和下属的协助下实施该转让，意图隐匿和保护资产；\nd. 该转让使债务人能够从其欺诈中受益，而不使其财产处于其债权人可追及的范围内，因而进一步实施了债务人的欺诈行为；\ne. 该转让使债务人能够从其欺诈中获利，而不使其财产处于其债权人可追及的范围内，因而进一步实施了债务人的欺诈行为；\nf. 在转让时，债务人正被起诉，包括PAX在PAX案件中对其提起的诉讼；以及\ng. 在转让时，债务人无清偿能力或资本不足。\n\n36. 受托人可依据 Bankruptcy Code § 548(a)(1)(A) 撤销该转让，并可依据 Bankruptcy Code § 550(a) 追回该转让。\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之请求）\n\n37. 受托人重述并再次主张第1至32段所载指称，如同在本文件中完整列明。\n\n38. 债务人通过其另我公司GClub作出该转让时，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，可由下列事实证明：\n\na. 该转让系使用一家另我空壳公司实施；\nb. 该转让被向债务人的债权人隐瞒；\nc. 该转让是债务人“空壳游戏”的一部分，其在债务人的家庭成员以及其控制的其他得力助手和下属的协助下实施该转让，意图隐匿和保护资产；\nd. 该转让使债务人能够从其欺诈中受益，而不使其财产处于其债权人可追及的范围内，因而进一步实施了债务人的欺诈行为；\ne. 该转让使债务人能够从其欺诈中获利，而不使其财产处于其债权人可追及的范围内，因而进一步实施了债务人的欺诈行为；\nf. 在转让时，债务人正被起诉，包括PAX在PAX案件中对其提起的诉讼；以及\ng. 在转让时，债务人无清偿能力或资本不足。\n\n40. 受托人可依据 N.Y.
