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 defendants Lawall & Mitchell, LLC (\"Lawall & Mitchell\") and Aaron Mitchell (\"Mr. Mitchell\"), stating as follows:\n\n### **NATURE OF ACTION**\n\n1. The Trustee commences this adversary proceeding to avoid and recover: (a) transfers of the Debtor's property prior to the commencement of this Chapter 11 Case; and (b) transfers of property of the Debtor's chapter 11 estate after the commencement of this Chapter 11 Case and not authorized by the Bankruptcy Court or under Title 11 of the United States Code (the \"Bankruptcy Code\").\n\n2. The Debtor, through his alter-ego shell companies, Lamp Capital LLC (\"Lamp Capital\"), Golden Spring (New York) Limited (\"Golden Spring\"), Lexington Property and Staffing Inc. (\"Lexington\"), Rule of Law Society IV, Inc. (\"ROL Society\"), and Leading Shine NY Ltd. (\"Leading Shine\"), transferred funds in the amount of \\$1,092,452.01 prior to the Petition Date (as defined herein) to Lawall & Mitchell 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\n4. Following the Petition Date, the Debtor, through his alter-ego shell companies, Greenwich Land LLC (\"Greenwich Land\"), Rule of Law Foundation III, Inc. (\"ROL Foundation\"), Lexington, ROL Society, and Golden Spring, transferred funds in the aggregate amount of \\$467,808.89 to Lawall & Mitchell as initial transferee.\n\n5. Because these postpetition transfers of estate property were not authorized by the Court or under the Bankruptcy Code, they are subject to avoidance and recovery under sections 549 and 550 of the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n### **JURISDICTION AND VENUE**\n\n6. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this adversary proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1334(b).\n\n7. This adversary proceeding has been referred to this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(a).\n\n8. The statutory predicates for the relief sought herein include sections 544, 548, 549, and 550 of the Bankruptcy Code and New York Debtor & Creditor Law sections 273, 274, and 276 [2](#page-4-0) or any other applicable state law equivalents.\n\n### **THE PARTIES**\n\n9. 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\n10. Lawall & Mitchell is a New Jersey limited liability company with an address at 55 Madison Avenue #400, Morristown, New Jersey 07960.\n\n11. Mr. Mitchell is an individual with an address at 55 Madison Avenue, 4th Floor, Morristown, New Jersey 07960.\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.\n\n#### **FACTS**\n\n### **A. Chapter 11 Case**\n\n12. The Debtor filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of 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 Chapter 11 Case.\n\n13. 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\n14. 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-5-0)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 Greenwich Land, Lamp Capital, Lexington, ROL Society, ROL Foundation, Leading Shine and Golden Spring.\n\n15. 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\n16. Greenwich Land, Lamp Capital, Lexington, ROL Society, ROL Foundation, Leading Shine and Golden Spring are among the numerous alter-ego shell companies used by the\n\n3 Schedule of Assets and Liabilities, at 1 [Main Case Docket No. 78].\n\nDebtor to hinder, delay, and/or defraud his creditors.[4](#page-6-0) 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—while concealing his property from creditors.\n\n17. 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\n\n4 There is a pending motion for summary judgment to determine that Greenwich Land is the alter ego of the Debtor in the adversary proceeding *Despins v. Greenwich Land, LLC* (Adv. Proc. No. 23-5005 (the \"Greenwich Land A.P.\"), Docket No. 78). The Trustee incorporates by reference herein, the Trustee's Complaint filed in the Greenwich Land A.P. (Adv. Proc. No. 23-5005, Docket No. 1).\n\nThe Court has entered judgment to the effect that Golden Spring was the Debtor's alter ego. *See Despins v. Golden Spring (New York) Limited* (Adv. Proc. No. 23-5018 (the \"Golden Spring A.P.\"), Docket No. 35). The Trustee incorporates by reference herein, the Trustee's Complaint filed in the Golden Spring A.P. (Adv. Proc. No. 23-5018, Docket No. 1).\n\nDefault 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. 23-5023, Docket No. 1).\n\nThere is a pending motion for default judgment to determine that Lamp Capital is the alter ego of the Debtor in the adversary proceeding *Despins v. Lamp Capital LLC, et. al.* (Adv. Proc. No. 23-5023 (the \"Lamp Capital A.P.\"), Docket No. 18). 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\nThe Trustee has or will imminently commence an adversary proceeding against ROL Society and ROL Foundation which adversary proceeding seeks, among other things, a declaratory judgment that ROL Society and ROL Foundation were the alter egos of the Debtor. The Trustee incorporates by reference herein, the Trustee's Complaint filed in such adversary proceeding\n\ncompanies 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](#page-7-0)\n\n18. 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\n19. 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-7-1)\n\n20. 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\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\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\nby the Debtor[7](#page-8-0) , led by the Debtor[8](#page-8-1) and/or served \"the purposes of… and as business vehicles of\" the Debtor.[9](#page-8-2)\n\n21. 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-8-3)\n\n22. 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\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\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\n23. The Debtor also used his alter egos, including Greenwich Land, Lexington, Lamp Capital, ROL Society, ROL Foundation, Leading Shine and Golden Spring as personal piggybanks, 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\n24. 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-9-0) The Debtor scheduled only \\$3,850 in assets.[12](#page-9-1)\n\n25. 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\n26. 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-9-2)\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 property of the Debtor's alter egos, including Greenwich Land, Lamp Capital, Lexington, ROL Society, ROL Foundation, Leading Shine and Golden Spring, was at all times prior to the Petition Date property of the Debtor.\n\n28. At all times relevant herein, the Debtor conducted business in New York, New York, including direction of the prepetition transfers at issue in this Complaint.\n\n### **D. Debtor's Shell Game and Fraud Continues Postpetition**\n\n29. As of the Petition Date, all of the Debtor's property held through his alter egos, including Greenwich Land, Lamp Capital, Lexington, ROL Society, ROL Foundation, Leading Shine and Golden Spring, became property of the chapter 11 estate. *See* 11 U.S.C. § 541(a)(1).\n\n30. Following the Petition Date, the Debtor, with blatant disregard for the Bankruptcy Court and his obligations under the Bankruptcy Code, continued to effectuate transfers through numerous alter-ego shell companies, including, without limitation, Greenwich Land, Lamp Capital, Lexington, ROL Society, ROL Foundation, Leading Shine and Golden Spring.\n\n31. None of these postpetition transfers were authorized by the Bankruptcy Court nor were such transfers authorized under the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n#### **E. Transfers Made with Intent to Hinder, Delay, or Defraud Creditors**\n\n32. The Transfers (as defined herein) 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 alter-ego shell companies operated as a part of the Debtor's shell game.\n\n33. 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\n34. The assets concealed and dissipated by the Debtor were substantially comprised of 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\n35. The Debtor knew that by dissipating these proceeds there would not be sufficient assets 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\n36. The Debtor's shell game—which involved a tangled web of numerous alter-ego entities—depended upon, among other things, services provided by professional firms.\n\n37. Lawall & Mitchell is a law firm that has long represented the Debtor in various matters, including in the Chapter 11 Case immediately following the resignation of Brown Rudnick LLP.\n\n38. Aaron Mitchell (\"Mr. Mitchell\"), one of Lawall & Mitchell's principals, has served as general counsel for the Debtor and as counsel to various entities that were alter egos of and/or controlled by the Debtor. Mr. Mitchell was involved with multiple of the Debtor's fraudulent schemes, including, among other things, an illegal securities offering, a fraudulent cryptocurrency venture, and the Debtor's \"G Club\" scheme.\n\n39. Mr. Mitchell also assisted the Debtor in laundering and concealing the Debtor's assets to hinder, delay, or defraud the Debtor's creditors and assisted in the preparation of the Debtor's fraudulent schedules in this Chapter 11 Case.\n\n40. The Debtor intentionally used Lawall & Mitchell's services to perpetuate his financial shell game such that the Debtor could undertake and continue his fraudulent schemes and conceal and dissipate their proceeds.\n\n41. The Transfers to Lawall & Mitchell represented payment for such services and thus were further intended to hinder, delay, and/or defraud the Debtor's creditors.\n\n42. The Transfers were made for the benefit of Mr. Mitchell, who is a principal of Lawall & Mitchell and who personally undertook many of the services that his firm provided.\n\n#### **F. Transfers to Defendant**\n\n43. Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor, using his alter-ego shell company, Golden Spring, Lexington, ROL Society, Leading Shine and Lamp Capital, or otherwise, transferred the Debtor's property to Lawall & Mitchell (collectively, the \"Prepetition Transfers\"), including, without limitation, as follows:\n\nSee **SCHEDULE A** attached hereto and made a part hereof.\n\n44. Subsequent to the Petition Date, the Debtor, through his shell companies, Greenwich Land, Lexington, ROL Society, ROL Foundation and Golden Spring, or otherwise, transferred property of the estate to Lawall & Mitchell (collectively, the \"Postpetition Transfers\"), including, without limitation, as follows:\n\nSee **SCHEDULE B** attached hereto and made a part hereof.\n\n45. At the time of the Prepetition Transfers and the Postpetition Transfers (collectively, the \"Transfers\"), the Debtor had outstanding obligations to creditors of the Debtor's estate.\n\n46. Lawall & Mitchell was the initial transferee of the Transfers.\n\n47. The Transfers were made for the benefit of Mr. Mitchell.\n\n#### **FIRST CLAIM**\n\n# **(Claim Against Lawall & Mitchell to Avoid and Recover Actual Fraudulent Transfers Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 548(a)(1)(A) and 550(a))**\n\n48. The Trustee repeats and realleges the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-47 as if fully set forth herein.\n\n49. The Prepetition Transfers were made by the Debtor through his alter egos, Golden Spring, Lexington, ROL Society, Leading Shine and Lamp Capital, with the actual intent to hinder, delay and/or defraud his creditors.\n\n50. The Debtor's intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud his creditors in effectuating the Prepetition Transfers is shown by, among other things:\n\na. The Prepetition Transfers were effectuated using an alter-ego shell company;\n\nb. The Prepetition Transfers were concealed from the Debtor's creditors;\n\nc.

Despins 以其作为在 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”）的身份，针对被告 Lawall & Mitchell, LLC（“Lawall & Mitchell”）及 Aaron Mitchell（“Mitchell 先生”）提起本关联诉讼起诉状（“起诉状”），陈述如下：\n\n1 本第 11 章案件中的债务人为 Ho Wan Kwok（亦称 Guo Wengui、Miles Guo 和 Miles Kwok，以及其他众多别名）（税务识别号码末四位：9595）、Genever Holdings LLC（杰纳弗控股有限责任公司）（税务识别号码末四位：8202）及 Genever Holdings Corporation（杰纳弗控股公司）。受托人、Genever Holdings LLC 及 Genever Holdings Corporation 的邮寄地址为 Paul Hastings LLP（保尔·黑斯廷斯律师事务所），200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166，c/o Luc A.

Governance Contempt Order”）。\n\n21. 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）这一实体原由债务人的一名厨师所有，后转让给债务人的女儿，其“实质上是”债务人的一家空壳公司。[10]\n\n22. 债务人不遗余力地阻碍和拖延其最大债权人之一 Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund, L.P.（“PAX”）（太平洋联盟亚洲机会基金，L.P.）的追偿工作。2017年，PAX 在 Supreme Court of the State of New York（纽约州最高法院）（“纽约法院”）起诉债务人，案号为 Index No. 652077/2017（“PAX 案件”），请求就所欠款项作出判决。On February 3, 2021，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（Lady May号），债务人曾虚假声称该船归其女儿所有；以及债务人在 Manhattan（曼哈顿）的豪华公寓，债务人曾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拒不遵守纽约法院命令，最终导致其被处以 \\$134 million 的藐视法庭罚款。\n\n7 经更正的部分准许初步禁令动议之决定备忘录，第 ¶ 3 段（对抗程序编号 22-05032, January 13, 2023（“The Debtor also controls Saraca Media Group and a related entity 'GTV'”）。\n\n8 同上，第 ¶ 7 段（“The Debtor is the leader of The Whistleblower Movement, NFSC, ROLF and Himalaya.”）。\n\n9 同上（“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\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\n23. 债务人还将其另我，包括 Greenwich Land、Lexington、Lamp Capital、ROL Society、ROL Foundation、Leading Shine 和 Golden Spring，当作个人钱袋，用于资助其本人及家人已习惯的奢靡生活方式，同时向其债权人隐匿置于这些另我中的资产，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施的转让延续了债务人的欺诈计划。\n\n24. 债务人曾在破产法院作证称，其资产不足以偿付其负债，其奢华生活方式由其家人通过名义上由家庭成员持有的企业资助。[11] 债务人仅列报 \\$3,850 的资产。[12]\n\n25. In March 2023，债务人被捕，并因包括电信欺诈、证券欺诈和洗钱在内的联邦刑事指控，在审判前仍被羁押。\n\n26. 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，对超过 \\$1 billion 的欺诈所得进行洗钱。”[13]\n\n11 关于债务人申请作出临时和最终 DIP 命令之听证会：(I) 授权债务人取得无担保、次级的申请后融资，及 (II) 安排临时和最终听证会，及 (III) 授予相关救济（主案件, April 27, 2022）\n\n12 见注释3\n\n13 见 United States of America 反对被告 Yanping Wang（王雁平）审前释放动议的法律备忘录第29页，该文件作为附件B附于第11章受托人对 G Club Operations LLC（G Club Operations 有限责任公司）就受托人强制履行动议及相关救济请求所提补充异议的答复中（June 23, 2023, Main Case Docket No. 1934）。\n\n27. 债务人的另我，包括 Greenwich Land、Lamp Capital、Lexington、ROL Society、ROL Foundation、Leading Shine 和 Golden Spring 的财产，在申请日之前的任何时候均为债务人的财产。\n\n28. 在与本案有关的所有期间，债务人在 New York, New York（纽约州纽约市）开展业务，包括指示实施本起诉状所涉的申请前转让。\n\nD. 债务人的空壳把戏和欺诈在申请后仍在继续\n\n29. 截至申请日，债务人通过其另我持有的全部财产，包括 Greenwich Land、Lamp Capital、Lexington、ROL Society、ROL Foundation、Leading Shine 和 Golden Spring，均成为第11章破产财产。参见 11 U.S.C. § 541(a)(1)。\n\n30. 申请日之后，债务人公然蔑视破产法院及其在《破产法》下的义务，继续通过众多另我空壳公司实施转让，包括但不限于 Greenwich Land、Lamp Capital、Lexington、ROL Society、ROL Foundation、Leading Shine 和 Golden Spring。\n\n31. 这些申请后转让均未经破产法院授权，该等转让亦未获《破产法》授权。\n\nE. 为阻碍、拖延或欺诈债权人而作出的转让\n\n32. 本起诉状所涉的转让（定义见下文）均系通过作为债务人空壳把戏一部分运营的债务人另我空壳公司作出，因此具有阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债务人债权人的意图。\n\n33. 债务人故意以该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。债务人声称身无分文，同时却大肆挥霍，为其本人、家庭成员和密切关联人士维持亿万富翁的生活方式。\n\n34. 债务人隐匿和耗散的资产，主要由其从加密货币、证券及其他欺诈计划的受害者处取得的资金构成。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。参见 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\n35. 债务人明知，耗散该等所得将导致没有足够资产偿还其债权人，包括其众多欺诈行为的受害者。因此，该等转让必然具有阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债务人债权人的意图。\n\n36. 债务人的空壳把戏——涉及众多另我实体构成的错综复杂网络——除其他事项外，依赖于专业服务机构提供的服务。\n\n37. Lawall & Mitchell（劳沃尔与米切尔律师事务所）是一家长期在包括 Brown Rudnick LLP（布朗·拉德尼克律师事务所）辞任后紧随其后的本 Chapter 11 Case（第11章案件）在内的多项事务中代理债务人的律师事务所。\n\n38. Aaron Mitchell（亚伦·米切尔，以下简称“米切尔先生”）是 Lawall & Mitchell 的负责人之一，曾担任债务人的总法律顾问，并担任作为债务人另我实体和/或受债务人控制的各实体的法律顾问。米切尔先生参与了债务人的多项欺诈计划，包括但不限于非法证券发行、欺诈性加密货币项目以及债务人的“G Club（G俱乐部）”计划。\n\n39. 米切尔先生还协助债务人洗钱和隐匿债务人资产，以阻碍、拖延或欺诈债务人的债权人，并协助编制债务人在本 Chapter 11 Case 中的虚假申报表。\n\n40. 债务人故意利用 Lawall & Mitchell 的服务延续其财务“空壳游戏”，从而使债务人能够实施并持续进行其欺诈计划，并隐匿和耗散其收益。\n\n41. 向 Lawall & Mitchell 的转让构成对此类服务的付款，因此亦意在阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债务人的债权人。\n\n42. 该等转让系为米切尔先生的利益而作出；米切尔先生是 Lawall & Mitchell 的负责人，并亲自承担了其律师事务所提供的许多服务。\n\nF. 向被告作出的转让\n\n43. 在 Petition Date（申请日）之前，债务人使用其另我空壳公司 Golden Spring（金泉）、Lexington（莱克星顿）、ROL Society（ROL协会）、Leading Shine（领耀）和 Lamp Capital（兰普资本），或以其他方式，将债务人的财产转让给 Lawall & Mitchell（统称“申请前转让”），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\n44. 在 Petition Date 之后，债务人通过其空壳公司 Greenwich Land（格林尼治地产）、Lexington、ROL Society、ROL Foundation（ROL基金会）和 Golden Spring，或以其他方式，将破产财产转让给 Lawall & Mitchell（统称“申请后转让”），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 B。\n\n45. 在申请前转让和申请后转让（统称“该等转让”）作出时，债务人对债务人破产财产的债权人负有未清偿债务。\n\n46. Lawall & Mitchell 是该等转让的初始受让人。\n\n47. 该等转让系为米切尔先生的利益而作出。\n\n第一项诉请\n（依据 Bankruptcy Code sections 548(a)(1)(A) and 550(a)，针对 Lawall & Mitchell 撤销并追回实际欺诈性转让的诉请）\n\n48. 受托人重述并再次主张第1至47段所载的指控，如同在本文中完整列明。\n\n49. 申请前转让由债务人通过其另我实体 Golden Spring、Lexington、ROL Society、Leading Shine 和 Lamp Capital 作出，具有阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的实际意图。\n\n50. 债务人在实施申请前转让时具有阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的意图，具体体现于包括但不限于：\n\na. 申请前转让系使用另我空壳公司实施；\n\nb. 申请前转让被向债务人的债权人隐瞒；\n\nc. 申请前转让作为债务人的“空壳游戏”的一部分实施，债务人在其控制的家庭成员及其他亲信和下属的协助下，试图隐匿和遮蔽资产；\n\nd. 申请前转让通过使债务人从其欺诈行为中获益而不使其财产受其债权人追索，进一步促成了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\ne. 申请前转让通过使债务人从其欺诈行为中获利而不使其财产受其债权人追索，进一步促成了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\nf. 在申请前转让作出时，债务人正被起诉，包括 PAX 在 PAX Case 中对债务人提起的诉讼；以及\n\ng. 在申请前转让作出时，债务人资不抵债或资本不足。\n\n51. 申请前转让可由受托人依据 Bankruptcy Code section 548(a)(i)(A) 撤销，并可依据 Bankruptcy Code section 550(a) 追回。\n\n第二项诉请\n（依据 N.Y.
