Because the bankruptcy estate is so extensive and the jurisdiction of the court so broad, there may be lawsuits over the property or property rights of the estate. There also may be lawsuits concerning the debtor's discharge. If such a lawsuit is filed in a bankruptcy court, it is called an adversary proceeding.\n\nA party filing an adversary proceeding must also must complete and file Form 1040, the Adversary Proceeding Cover Sheet, unless the party files the adversary proceeding electronically through the court's Case Management/Electronic Case Filing system (CM/ECF). (CM/ECF captures the information on Form 1040 as part of the filing process.) When completed, the cover sheet summarizes basic information on the adversary proceeding. The clerk of court needs the information to process the adversary proceeding and prepare required statistical reports on court activity.\n\nThe cover sheet and the information contained on it do not replace or supplement the filing and service of pleadings or other papers as required by law, the Bankruptcy Rules, or the local rules of court. The cover sheet, which is largely selfexplanatory, must be completed by the plaintiff's attorney (or by the plaintiff if the plaintiff is not represented by an attorney). A separate cover sheet must be submitted to the clerk for each complaint filed.\n\n**Plaintiffs** and **Defendants.** Give the names of the plaintiffs and defendants exactly as they appear on the complaint.\n\n**Attorneys.** Give the names and addresses of the attorneys, if known.\n\n**Party**. Check the most appropriate box in the first column for the plaintiffs and the second column for the defendants.\n\n**Demand.** Enter the dollar amount being demanded in the complaint.\n\n**Signature.** This cover sheet must be signed by the attorney of record in the box on the second page of the form. If the plaintiff is represented by a law firm, a member of the firm must sign. If the plaintiff is pro se, that is, not represented by an attorney, the plaintiff must sign.\n\n# **UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT BRIDGEPORT DIVISION**\n\n| ----------------------------------------------------------- | | x |\n|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| In re: | | :

Despins, in his capacity as the chapter 11 trustee (the \"Trustee\") appointed in the\n\nchapter 11 case (the \"Chapter 11 Case\") of Ho Wan Kwok (the \"Debtor\" or \"Kwok\"), files this\n\n1 The Debtors in these chapter 11 cases are Ho Wan Kwok (also known as Guo Wengui, Miles Guo, and Miles Kwok, as well as numerous other aliases) (last four digits of tax identification number: 9595), Genever Holdings LLC (last four digits of tax identification number: 8202) and Genever Holdings Corporation. The mailing address for the Trustee, Genever Holdings LLC, and the Genever Holdings Corporation is Paul Hastings LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166 c/o Luc A. Despins, as Trustee for the Estate of Ho Wan Kwok (solely for purposes of notices and communications).\n\nadversary complaint (the \"Complaint\") against defendant Forbes Hare (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 and avoidable under Title 11 of the United States Code (the \"Bankruptcy Code\").\n\n2. The Debtor, through his alter ego shell company, Lamp Capital (\"Lamp Capital\"), transferred funds in the amount of \\$124,105.02 prior to the Petition Date 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 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# **THE PARTIES**\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\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 general partnership with an address at Qwomar Building, 4th Floor, Blackburn Highway, Road Town, Tortola VG1110, British Virgin Islands.\n\n### **FACTS**\n\n### **A. Chapter 11 Case**\n\n9. 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\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[.](#page-4-0)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 Lamp Capital.\n\n12. On June 15, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court entered a memorandum of decision and order [Main Case Docket No. 465] directing the United States Trustee to appoint a chapter 11 trustee in the Chapter 11 Case. Pursuant to this order, the United States Trustee selected Luc A. Despins as the Trustee. On July 8, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order granting the\n\n3 Schedule of Assets and Liabilities, at 1 [Main Case Docket No. 78].\n\nappointment 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 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, 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\n14. Since his appointment, the Trustee has commenced a number of adversary proceedings in the Chapter 11 Case to, among other things, establish that the Debtor's shell companies were his alter-egos and/or that such companies and their assets were equitably owned by the Debtor and in several the Bankruptcy Court has already granted such relief. [5](#page-5-1)\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\n4 There 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\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\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 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-6-4)\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\"),\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\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\nIndex 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, 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\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-7-0) The Debtor scheduled only \\$3,850 in assets.[12](#page-7-1)\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\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\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-8-0)\n\n24. The property of the Debtor's alter egos, including Lamp Capital, was at all times prior to the Petition Date property of the Debtor.\n\n25. At all times relevant herein, the Debtor conducted business in New York, New York, including direction of the prepetition transfers at issue in this Complaint.\n\n### **D. Transfers Made with Intent to Hinder, Delay, or Defraud Creditors**\n\n26. 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\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\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\ncriminal 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\n30. The Debtor's ability to establish and maintain his shell game—which involved a tangled web of numerous alter-ego entities—depended upon, among other things, services provided by professional firms.\n\n31. The Defendant is a law firm that represented the Debtor in litigation in the British Virgin Islands (the \"BVI Litigation\") brought by Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund LP (\"PAX\") related to the Debtor's ownership of Genever Holdings Corporation, the corporate parent of Genever Holdings LLC, which in turn holds title to the apartment at the Sherry Netherland Hotel in Manhattan.\n\n32. In the BVI Litigation, the Debtor sought to hinder, delay, or defraud his creditors by falsely claiming that his shares in Genever Holdings Corporation were held in trust for Bravo Luck Limited.\n\n33. The Debtor intentionally used the Defendant'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\n34. The Transfers to the Defendant represented payment for such services and thus were further intended to hinder, delay, and/or defraud the Debtor's creditors.\n\n# **E. Transfers to the Defendant**\n\n8\n\n35. Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor, using his alter-ego shell companies including\n\nLamp Capital, or otherwise, transferred the Debtor's property to the Defendant (collectively, the\n\n\"Transfers\"), including, without limitation, as follows:\n\n### See **SCHEDULE A** attached hereto and made a part hereof.\n\n36. 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\n37. The Trustee repeats and realleges the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-36 as if fully set forth herein.\n\n38. The Transfers were made by the Debtor through his alter ego, Lamp Capital, with the actual intent to hinder, delay and/or defraud his creditors.\n\n39. The Debtor's intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud his creditors in effectuating the\n\nTransfers is shown by, among other things:\n\n- a. The Transfers were effectuated using an alter-ego shell company;\n- b. 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; f. At the time of the Transfers, the Debtor was being sued, including by PAX\n\nin 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 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\n41. The Trustee repeats and realleges the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-36 as if fully set forth herein.\n\n42. The Transfers were made by the Debtor, through his alter ego, Lamp Capital, with the actual intent to hinder, delay and/or defraud his creditors.\n\n43. The Debtor's intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud his creditors in effectuating the\n\nTransfers is shown by, among other things:\n\na. The Transfers were effectuated using an alter-ego shell company;\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\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\n44. The Transfers are avoidable by the Trustee pursuant to N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law sections 273(a)(1), 274, and 276, and section 544(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and recoverable pursuant to section 550(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n*[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（卢克·A·德斯平斯）以在 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）（“债务人”或“Kwok（郭文贵）”）第 11 章案件（“第 11 章案件”）中获任命的第 11 章受托人（“受托人”）身份，提起本对抗起诉状（“起诉状”）对被告 Forbes Hare（福布斯·黑尔）（“被告”）提起诉讼，陈述如下：\n\n1 本第 11 章案件中的债务人为 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）（又名 Guo Wengui（郭文贵）、Miles Guo（郭文贵）和 Miles Kwok（郭文贵），以及其他众多别名）（税务识别号码后四位：9595）、Genever Holdings LLC（吉尼弗控股有限责任公司）（税务识别号码后四位：8202）以及 Genever Holdings Corporation（吉尼弗控股公司）。受托人、Genever Holdings LLC（吉尼弗控股有限责任公司）和 Genever Holdings Corporation（吉尼弗控股公司）的邮寄地址为：Paul Hastings LLP（保罗·黑斯廷斯律师事务所），200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166，转交 Luc A. Despins（卢克·A·德斯平斯），作为 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）破产财团的受托人（仅用于通知及通信目的）。\n\n诉讼性质\n\n1. 受托人提起本对抗程序，以撤销并追回债务人在本第 11 章案件开始前作出的、可根据《美国法典》第 11 编（“破产法典”）撤销的财产转让。\n\n2. 债务人通过其另我空壳公司 Lamp Capital（蓝普资本）（“Lamp Capital”），在申请日之前向作为初始受让人的被告转让了金额为 $124,105.02 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“空壳游戏”的一部分实施，并且该等转让系意图阻碍、拖延和／或欺诈债务人的债权人而作出。\n\n管辖权和审理地\n\n4. 本法院根据 28 U.S.C. § 1334(b) 对本对抗程序享有事项管辖权。\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. 本文所请求救济的法定依据包括《破产法典》第 544、548 及 550 条，以及《纽约债务人与债权人法》第 273、274 及 276 条 [2]，或任何其他适用的等同州法。\n\n当事人\n\n2 此后，对《纽约债务人与债权人法》的所有法条引用均称为“N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law”。《纽约统一可撤销交易法》（“NYUVT”）取代了《纽约统一欺诈性转让法》（“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。\n\n7. 受托人根据破产法院于 July 8, 2022 作出的命令，在第 11 章案件中担任第 11 章受托人 [Case No. 22-50073（“主案件”）Docket No. 523]。\n\n8. 被告是一家普通合伙企业，地址为 Qwomar Building, 4th Floor, Blackburn Highway, Road Town, Tortola VG1110, British Virgin Islands。\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（美国康涅狄格联邦破产法院）（“破产法院”）自愿提交根据《破产法典》第 11 章寻求救济的申请（“申请日”），从而启动第 11 章案件。\n\n10. 于 March 21, 2022，Office of the United States Trustee（美国受托人办公室）在本第 11 章案件中任命了无担保债权人正式委员会。尚未任命审查员。\n\n11. 债务人于 March 2022 向破产法院提交的破产财产清单称，其拥有 $3,850 的资产，并已产生数亿美元的负债[.]3 尽管债务人确实负债累累，但其财产清单未披露债务人通过其众多另我空壳公司（包括 Lamp Capital（蓝普资本））持有和／或转让的财产。\n\n12. 于 June 15, 2022，破产法院作出决定备忘录和命令 [主案件 Docket No. 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）为受托人。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 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. Lamp Capital（蓝普资本）是债务人为阻碍、拖延和／或欺诈其债权人而使用的众多另我空壳公司之一。[4] 多年来，债务人一直策划一场“空壳游戏”，使用由家庭成员、亲信和／或下属名义持有、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，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 章案件中提起若干对抗程序，其中包括确认债务人的空壳公司是其另我，和／或该等公司及其资产在衡平法上归债务人所有；在其中若干案件中，破产法院已准予该等救济。[5]\n\n15. 这些诉讼中的事实模式一贯包括：(i) 由近亲和／或下属持有的、受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受益并对其享有控制和支配权。\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. 18）中，有一项待决的缺席判决动议，请求裁定 Lamp Capital（蓝普资本）为债务人的另我。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 这些包括以下对抗程序：(i) Luc A. Despins（吕西安·A·德斯平斯），Chapter 11 Trustee（第11章受托人）诉 HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC（香港国际基金投资（美国）有限公司）等 [Adv. Proc. No. 22-05003]；(ii) Luc A. Despins，Chapter 11 Trustee 诉 Greenwich Land LLC（格林威治土地有限责任公司）等 [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05005]；(iii) Luc A. Despins，Chapter 11 Trustee 诉 Mei Guo（郭美）[Adv. Proc. No. 23-05008]；(iv) Luc A. Despins，Chapter 11 Trustee 诉 HCHK Technologies, Inc.（HCHK科技公司）等 [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05013]；(v) Luc A. Despins，Chapter 11 Trustee 诉 Taurus Fund LLC（金牛基金有限责任公司）等 [Adv. Proc. No. 23- 05017]；(vi) Luc A. Despins，Chapter 11 Trustee 诉 Golden Spring (New York) Limited（黄金泉〈纽约〉有限公司）[Adv. Proc. 23-05018]；以及 (vii) Luc A. Despins，Chapter 11 Trustee 诉 Lamp Capital LLC（灯塔资本有限责任公司）等 [Adv. Proc. 23-05023]。\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，债务人为 Ace Decade Limited（艾斯十年有限公司）（并通过该公司为 Dawn State Limited（黎明州有限公司））的实益所有人，且债务人控制并使用了 Ace Decade Limited 的名义股东 Yvette Wang（王月）。[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），以及其他据称独立的实体和组织，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（纽约南区美国联邦地区法院）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最初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\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.（太平洋联盟亚洲机会基金，有限合伙企业）（“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）（“New York Court”）起诉债务人，\n\n6 Order Granting Motion to Hold Debtor in Contempt of Corporate Governance Order（准许因债务人藐视公司治理命令而认定其藐视法庭之动议的命令），¶¶ 1, 4 (Jan. 24, 2023, Docket No. 1372 (“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\nIndex No. 652077/2017（“PAX Case”），请求就所欠款项作出判决。2021年2月3日，PAX 自纽约州法院取得针对债务人的 $116,402,019.57 判决（“PAX Judgment”）。PAX 试图通过扣押债务人的资产来执行 PAX 判决——包括 Lady May，该船舶被债务人虚假声称由其女儿所有；以及债务人在曼哈顿的豪华公寓，被债务人虚假声称为其儿子以信托方式持有。债务人在判决后程序中拒不遵守纽约州法院命令，最终导致债务人被处以 $134 million 的藐视法庭罚金。\n\n20. 债务人还将其替身实体，包括 Lamp Capital，当作个人钱袋使用，为其本人及家人已经习惯的奢华生活方式提供资金，同时将资产隐匿于这些替身实体中以躲避其债权人，并阻碍和拖延债权人就其债权获得清偿。债务人通过这些替身实体实施的转让延续了债务人的欺诈计划。\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，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] 债务人仅申报了 $3,850 的资产。[12]\n\n22. 2023年3月，债务人被逮捕，并仍被羁押，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\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（就债务人请求作出临时及最终 DIP 命令的动议举行的听证会：(I) 授权债务人获得无担保、次级的申请后融资；(II) 安排临时及最终听证会；以及 (III) 给予相关救济）(Main Case, April 27, 2022)。\n\n12 见注3。\n\n23. 在针对债务人的刑事起诉书中，美国政府主张，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500多个账户，对超过 $1 billion 的欺诈所得进行洗钱。”[13]\n\n24. 债务人替身实体的财产，包括 Lamp Capital 的财产，在申请日之前的任何时候均为债务人的财产。\n\n25. 在与本案有关的任何时候，债务人在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. 为阻碍、拖延或欺诈债权人而作出的转让\n\n26. 本起诉状所涉的转让（定义如下）均系通过债务人的替身空壳公司作出，而该等公司作为债务人空壳游戏的一部分运营，故其作出目的在于阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债务人的债权人。\n\n27. 债务人故意以这种方式安排其财务事务，以便在向其众多债权人虚假宣称贫困的同时，隐匿和耗散数百万美元的资产。债务人声称自己一贫如洗，同时却大肆挥霍，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其加密货币、证券及其他欺诈计划的受害人处取得的资金。由于该等行为，债务人在 United States District Court for the Southern District of New York 正在审理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。见 United States v. Ho Wan Kwok（美利坚合众国诉郭文贵）, case no. 1:23-cr-00118-AT [ECF No. 215] (Jan. 3, 2024 S.D.N.Y.)。\n\n13 见 Memorandum of Law of the United States of America in Opposition to Defendant Yanping Wang’s Motion for Pretrial Release at 29（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），作为 Exhibit B 附于 Chapter 11 Trustee 对 G Club Operations LLC（G俱乐部运营有限责任公司）就受托人强制履行义务动议及相关救济请求所提补充异议之答复 (June 23, 2023, Main Case Docket No. 1934)。\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，将不会留下足够资产偿还其债权人——包括其欺诈行为的众多受害人。因此，这些转让必然是为阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债务人的债权人而作出。\n\n30. 债务人建立并维持其空壳游戏的能力——其中涉及众多替身实体交织形成的复杂网络——除其他事项外，取决于专业机构提供的服务。\n\n31. 被告是一家律师事务所，其在 Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund LP（“PAX”）提起、与债务人对 Genever Holdings Corporation（杰内弗控股公司）的所有权有关的 British Virgin Islands（英属维尔京群岛）诉讼（“BVI Litigation”）中代理债务人。Genever Holdings Corporation 是 Genever Holdings LLC（杰内弗控股有限责任公司）的公司母公司，后者继而拥有曼哈顿 Sherry Netherland Hotel（雪莉荷兰酒店）公寓的产权。\n\n32. 在英属维尔京群岛诉讼中，债务人通过虚假声称其在 Genever Holdings Corporation 的股份为 Bravo Luck Limited（布拉沃幸运有限公司）以信托方式持有，试图阻碍、拖延或欺诈其债权人。\n\n33. 债务人故意利用被告提供的服务来延续其财务空壳游戏，使债务人能够实施并持续实施其欺诈计划，并隐匿和耗散其所得。\n\n34. 向被告作出的转让系为该等服务支付的款项，因此亦旨在阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债务人的债权人。\n\nE. 向被告作出的转让\n\n35. 在申请日之前，债务人使用其包括 Lamp Capital 在内的替身空壳公司，或以其他方式，将债务人的财产转让给被告（合称“Transfers”），包括但不限于如下：\n\n见随附并构成本文件一部分的 SCHEDULE A。\n\n36. 被告是该等转让的初始受让人。\n\n第一项请求权\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的请求权）\n\n37. 受托人重述并再次主张第1至36段所载的指控，如同在此完整载明。\n\n38. 债务人通过其替身实体 Lamp Capital 作出该等转让时，具有阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的实际意图。\n\n39. 债务人在实施该等转让时阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的意图，除其他事项外，体现在：\n\na. 该等转让系使用替身空壳公司实施；\n\nb. 该等转让被对债务人的债权人隐瞒；\n\nc. 该等转让是债务人“空壳游戏”的一部分，在债务人控制的家庭成员及其他亲信和下属的协助下实施，以期隐匿和保护资产；\n\nd. 该等转让通过使债务人能够从其欺诈中获益，而不使其财产受其债权人追索，进一步助长了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\ne. 该等转让通过使债务人能够从其欺诈中获利，而不使其财产受其债权人追索，进一步助长了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\nf. 作出该等转让时，债务人正遭受诉讼，包括 PAX 在 PAX Case 中提起的诉讼；以及\n\ng. 作出该等转让时，债务人已无力偿债或资本不足。\n\n40. 受托人可依据《破产法典》第 548(a)(1)(A) 条撤销该等转让，并可依据《破产法典》第 550(a) 条追回该等转让。\n\n第二项请求权\n\n（根据 N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law 第 273、274 和 276 条以及《破产法典》第 544(b) 和 550(a) 条撤销并追回实际欺诈性转让的请求权）\n\n41. 受托人重述并再次主张第1至36段所载的指控，如同在此完整载明。\n\n42. 债务人通过其替身实体 Lamp Capital 作出该等转让时，具有阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的实际意图。\n\n43. 债务人在实施该等转让时阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的意图，除其他事项外，体现在：\n\na. 该等转让系使用替身空壳公司实施；\n\nb. 该等转让被对债务人的债权人隐瞒；\n\nc. 该等转让是债务人“空壳游戏”的一部分，在债务人控制的家庭成员及其他亲信和下属的协助下实施，以期隐匿和保护资产；\n\nd. 该等转让通过使债务人能够从其欺诈中获益，而不使其财产受其债权人追索，进一步助长了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\ne. 该等转让通过使债务人能够从其欺诈中获利，而不使其财产受其债权人追索，进一步助长了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\nf. 作出该等转让时，债务人正遭受诉讼，包括 PAX 在 PAX Case 中提起的诉讼；以及\n\ng. 作出该等转让时，债务人已无力偿债或资本不足。\n\n44. 受托人可依据 N.Y. Debt. & Cred.
