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

(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 company, Leading Shine NY Ltd (\"Leading Shine\"), transferred funds in the amount of \\$100,917.81 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.\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 <sup>2</sup> or any other applicable state law equivalents.\n\n<sup>2</sup> All statutory references to New York Debtor and Creditor Law will hereinafter be referred to as \"N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law\". The New York Uniform Voidable Transactions Act (\"NYUVT\") replaced the New York Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (\"NYUFC\") and became effective on April 4, 2020 and applies to transfers made or obligations incurred on or after April 4, 2020. With respect to transfers prior to April 4, 2020, the Trustee seeks relief in this action under the NYUFC and N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law sections 273, 273a, 275, 276 and 278.\n\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 19 F, Prosperity Tower, 39 Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong.\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.<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 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\n\n<sup>3</sup> Schedule of Assets and Liabilities, at 1 (Main Case, Docket No. 78).\n\ntrustee 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. Leading Shine is one of the numerous alter-ego shell companies used by the Debtor to hinder, delay and/or defraud his creditors.<sup>4</sup> 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.<sup>5</sup>\n\n<sup>4</sup> Default 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\n<sup>5</sup> These include the following adversary proceedings: (i) *Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC, et al.* [Adv. Proc. No. 22-05003]; (ii) *Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Greenwich Land LLC, et al.* [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05005]; (iii) *Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Mei Guo* [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05008]; (iv) *Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. HCHK Technologies, Inc., et al.* [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05013]; (v) *Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Taurus Fund LLC, et al.* [Adv. Proc. No. 23- 05017]; (vi) *Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Golden Spring (New York) Limited* [Adv. Proc. 23-05018]; and (vii) *Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Lamp Capital LLC, et al.* [Adv. Proc. 23-05023].\n\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.<sup>6</sup>\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<sup>7</sup> , led by the Debtor<sup>8</sup> and/or served \"the purposes of… and as business vehicles of\" the Debtor.<sup>9</sup>\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>6</sup> *Order Granting Motion to Hold Debtor in Contempt of Corporate Governance Order,* para.1, 4 (Jan. 24, 2023, Docket No. 1372 (\"Corp. Governance Contempt Order\").\n\n<sup>7</sup> *Corrected Memorandum of Decision Granting in Part Motion for Preliminary Injunction*, para. 3 (Adv. Proc. No. 22-05032, January 13, 2023 (\"The Debtor also controls Saraca Media Group and a related entity 'GTV'\").\n\n<sup>8</sup> *Id*. at para. 7 (\"The Debtor is the leader of The Whistleblower Movement, NFSC, ROLF and Himalaya.\").\n\n<sup>9</sup> *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 Debtor's chauffeurs before its transfer to Debtor's daughter, was \"in essence, a shell corporation\" for the Debtor.<sup>10</sup>\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 Leading Shine, 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\n<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.<sup>11</sup> The Debtor scheduled only \\$3,850 in assets.<sup>12</sup>\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.\"<sup>13</sup>\n\n24. The property of the Debtor's alter egos, including 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 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 it was made through the Debtor's alter-ego shell companies operated as a part of the Debtor's shell game.\n\n<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<sup>12</sup> *See* n.3\n\n<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 Leading Shine, 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 1-36 as if fully set forth herein.\n\n34. The Transfer was made by the Debtor through his alter ego, Leading Shine, with the actual intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud his creditors.\n\n35. The Debtor's intent to hinder, delay, or and/or defraud his creditors in effectuating the Transfer is shown by, among other things:\n\na. The Transfer was effectuated using an alter-ego shell company;\n\nb. The Transfer was concealed from the Debtor's creditors;\n\nc. The Transfer was 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 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 Transfers, 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 is 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 1-36 as if fully set forth herein.\n\n38. The Transfer was made by the Debtor, through his alter ego company, 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 Transfer is shown by, among other things:\n\na. The Transfer was effectuated using an alter-ego shell company;\n\nb. The Transfer was concealed from the Debtor's creditors;\n\nc. The Transfer was 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 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\n40. The Transfer is 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*[THE REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY BLANK.]*\n\n### **PRAYER FOR RELIEF**\n\nWHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, the Trustee respectfully requests that judgment be entered as follows:\n\n1.

Despins，以在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，对被告Michael Li & Co.（“被告”）提交本对抗程序起诉状（“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，以及众多其他别名）（税务识别号码后四位：9595）、Genever Holdings LLC（税务识别号码后四位：8202）及Genever Holdings Corporation。受托人、Genever Holdings LLC及Genever Holdings Corporation的邮寄地址为：Paul Hastings LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166，c/o Luc A. Despins，作为Ho Wan Kwok破产财团的受托人（仅为通知和通信之目的）。\n\n诉讼性质\n\n1. 受托人提起本对抗程序，以撤销并追回在本第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Leading Shine NY Ltd（“Leading Shine”），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\\$100,917.81的资金。\n\n3. 该等转让构成实际欺诈，因为债务人将其作为其“空壳把戏”的一部分实施，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. 本案所请求救济的法定依据包括《美国法典》第11编（“破产法”）第544、548和550条，以及《纽约州债务人和债权人法》第273、274和276条2，或任何其他适用的州法对应规定。\n\n2 此后对《纽约州债务人和债权人法》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产生的义务。对于April 4, 2020之前的转让，受托人在本诉讼中依据NYUFC及N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law第273、273a、275、276和278条请求救济。\n\n当事人\n\n7. 受托人依据破产法院于July 8, 2022作出的裁定，担任第11章案件中的第11章受托人[Case No. 22-50073（“主案件”）Docket No. 523]。\n\n8. 被告是一家外国公司，地址为19 F, Prosperity Tower, 39 Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong。\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（康涅狄格州联邦破产法院）（“法院”或“破产法院”）根据《美国法典》第11编第11章（“破产法”）自愿提交救济申请（“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, 2002，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称，其拥有\\$3,850的资产，并负有数亿美元债务。3 虽然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Leading Shine）持有和转让的财产。\n\n12. 于June 15, 2022，破产法院作出决定备忘录和裁定[主案件Docket No. 465]，指示美国受托人任命一名第11章受托人。根据该裁定，美国受托人选定Luc A. Despins担任受托人。于July 8, 2022，破产法院作出裁定，批准任命Luc A. Despins担任第11章案件的受托人[主案件Docket No. 523]。\n\n3 资产和负债清单，第1页（主案件，Docket No. 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. Leading Shine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复杂空壳公司网络。该空壳把戏使债务人能够使用、花费和／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，以便除其他事项外确认债务人的空壳公司系其另我，和／或该等公司及其资产在衡平法上归债务人所有；并且在数项该等对抗程序中，破产法院已准予该等救济。5\n\n4 在对抗程序Despins v. Lamp Capital LLC, et al.（Adv. Proc. No. 23-5023（“Lamp Capital A.P.”）, Docket No. 13）中，已对Leading Shine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，确认Leading Shine系债务人的另我。受托人在此通过引用并入受托人在Lamp Capital A.P.中提交的起诉状（Adv. Proc. No. 23-5023, Docket No. 1）。\n\n5 这些对抗性诉讼包括如下案件：(i) Luc A. Despins（卢克·A.·德斯平斯），第11章受托人诉 HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC（HK International Funds Investments（USA）有限责任公司）等人 [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）等人 [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05005]；(iii) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人诉 Mei Guo（郭梅）[Adv. Proc. No. 23-05008]；(iv) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人诉 HCHK Technologies, Inc.（HCHK技术公司）等人 [Adv. Proc. No. 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）等人 [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）[Adv. Proc. 23-05018]；以及 (vii) Luc A. Despins，第11章受托人诉 Lamp Capital LLC（蓝普资本有限责任公司）等人 [Adv. Proc. 23-05023]。\n\n15. 这些诉讼中的事实模式一贯涉及：(i) 由近亲和/或下属持有、受债务人控制的空壳公司，(ii) 使用来自其他受债务人控制实体的现金购置，和/或无对价转让给或在空壳实体之间转让的资产，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. 除受托人对抗性诉讼中处理的事项外，破产法院还认定，债务人为 Ace Decade Limited（Ace Decade有限公司）（并通过该公司为 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）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. 在破产申请日之前，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，在转让给债务人的女儿之前原由债务人的一名司机所有，实质上是债务人的“空壳公司”。10\n\n6 批准关于认定债务人藐视公司治理命令之动议的命令，第1、4段（Jan. 24, 2023, Docket No. 1372（“Corp. Governance Contempt Order”）。\n\n7 经更正的部分批准初步禁令动议的裁定备忘录，第3段（Adv. Proc. No. 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\n19. 债务人不遗余力地阻碍和拖延其最大债权人之一，即 Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund, L.P.（太平洋联盟亚洲机会基金，有限合伙企业）（“PAX”）的追偿工作。2017年，PAX 在 Supreme Court of the State of New York（纽约州最高法院）（“New York Court”）对债务人提起诉讼，案号为 Index No. 652077/2017（“PAX Case”），请求就所欠款项作出判决。On February 3, 2021，PAX 从纽约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来执行 PAX 判决——包括 Lady May，该游艇被债务人虚假声称为其女儿所有；以及债务人在曼哈顿的豪华公寓，该公寓被债务人虚假声称是为债务人的儿子以信托方式持有。债务人在判决后程序中不遵从纽约法院命令，最终导致债务人被处以 \\$134 million 的藐视法庭罚款。\n\n20. 债务人还将其另一个自我实体，包括 Leading Shine（Leading Shine），作为个人钱袋使用，为其本人及其家人已习惯的奢华生活方式提供资金，同时将资产隐匿于这些另一个自我实体中以逃避其债权人，并阻碍和拖延债权人就其债权获得追偿。债务人通过这些另一个自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.

In March 2023，债务人被捕，并在联邦刑事指控审判前一直被羁押；该等指控包括但不限于电信欺诈、证券欺诈及洗钱。\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超过约500个账户，对超过 \\$1 billion 的欺诈所得进行洗钱。”13\n\n24. 债务人的另一个自我实体的财产，包括 Leading Shine 的财产，在破产申请日之前的任何时候均为债务人的财产。\n\n25. 在与本案有关的所有期间，债务人在纽约州纽约市开展业务，包括指示该转让（定义见下文）。\n\nD. 为阻碍、拖延或欺诈债权人而实施的转让\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而作出，因为该等转让是通过作为债务人空壳游戏一部分运作的债务人另一个自我空壳公司作出的。\n\n11 关于债务人申请作出临时及最终 DIP 命令之动议的听证会：(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) 给予相关救济（Main Case, April 27, 2022）\n\n12 见注3\n\n13 见 United States of America 关于反对被告 Yanping Wang（王雁平）审前释放动议的法律备忘录，第29页，作为第11章受托人对 G Club Operations LLC（G Club运营有限责任公司）就受托人强制履行动议及相关救济请求所提补充异议的答复之附件B（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，以便隐匿和耗散数百万美元资产，同时向其众多债权人虚假地声称贫困。债务人声称自己身无分文，却同时大肆花费，以维持其本人、其家庭成员及亲密同事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（美国纽约南区联邦地区法院）待决的一起刑事案件中，面临多项重罪欺诈、洗钱和敲诈勒索指控。见 United States v. Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）, case no. 1:23-cr-00118-AT [ECF No. 215] (Jan. 3, 2024 S.D.N.Y.).\n\n29. 债务人明知并意图通过以此方式隐匿和耗散其资产，将不会有足够资产剩余以偿还其债权人——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. 在破产申请日之前，债务人通过包括 Leading Shine 在内的空壳公司或以其他方式，将债务人的财产转让给被告（统称“Transfer”），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，债务人对债务人财产的债权人负有未清偿债务。\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) 和 550(a) 撤销并追回实际欺诈性转让的请求）\n\n33. 受托人重复陈述并重新主张第1至36段所载的指控，如同在此完整列明。\n\n34. 债务人通过其另一个自我实体 Leading Shine 作出该转让，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，由以下事实表明：\n\na. 该转让是使用另一个自我空壳公司实施的；\n\nb. 该转让被向债务人的债权人隐瞒；\n\nc. 该转让是在债务人的家庭成员及其控制的其他亲信和下属协助下，作为债务人“空壳游戏”的一部分实施的，旨在隐匿和保护资产；\n\nd. 该转让通过使债务人能够从其欺诈行为中受益而不使其财产受到债权人追索，进一步促成了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\ne. 该转让通过使债务人能够从其欺诈行为中获利而不使其财产受到债权人追索，进一步促成了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\nf. 在转让时，债务人正被提起诉讼，包括 PAX 在 PAX Case 中对其提起的诉讼；以及\n\ng. 在转让时，债务人无清偿能力或资本不足。\n\n36. 受托人可根据 Bankruptcy Code Section 548(a)(1)(A) 撤销该转让，并可根据 Bankruptcy Code Section 550(a) 追回该转让。\n\n第二项请求\n（根据 N.Y.
