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### SCHEDULE 1\n\nACA Capital Group Ltd., Alfa Global Ventures Limited, Alfonso Global Ventures Limited, Anton Development Limited, Bravo Luck Limited, Celestial Tide Limited, China Golden Spring Group (Hong Kong) Ltd., Eastern Profit Corporation Limited, Freedom Media Ventures Limited, G Club International Limited, G Club Operations LLC, G Fashion (CA), G Fashion Hold Co A Limited, G Fashion Hold Co B Limited, G Fashion International Limited, GFashion Media Group Inc., G Music LLC, GF IP, LLC, GF Italy, LLC, GFNY, Inc., Hamilton Capital Holding Limited, Hamilton Investment Management Limited, Hamilton Opportunity Fund SPC, Haoran He, Himalaya Currency Clearing Pty Ltd., Himalaya International Clearing Limited, Himalaya International Financial Group Limited, Himalaya International Payments Limited, Himalaya International Reserves Limited, Jovial Century International Limited, K Legacy Ltd., Karin Maistrello, Leading Shine Limited, Major Lead International Limited, Mei Guo, Next Tycoon Investments Limited, Qiang Guo, Rule of Law Foundation III, Inc., Rule of Law Society IV, Inc., Saraca Media Group, Inc., Seven Mission Group LLC, William Je, Wise Creation International Limited\n\n## SCHEDULE 2\n\n## **Bravo Luck Limited**\n\n**Joanna J.

Despins, in his capacity as the chapter 11 trustee (the \"Trustee\") appointed in the chapter 11 case (the \"Chapter 11 Case\") of Ho Wan Kwok (the \"Debtor\" or \"Kwok\"), files this adversary complaint (the \"Complaint\") against defendants: ACA Capital Group Ltd., Alfa Global Ventures Limited, Alfonso Global Ventures Limited, Anton Development Limited, Bravo Luck Limited, Celestial Tide Limited, China Golden Spring Group (Hong Kong) Ltd., Eastern Profit Corporation Limited, Freedom Media Ventures Limited, G Club International Limited, G Club Operations LLC, G Fashion (CA), G Fashion Hold Co A Limited, G Fashion Hold Co B Limited, G Fashion International Limited, GFashion Media Group Inc., G Music LLC, GF IP, LLC, GF Italy, LLC, GFNY, Inc., Hamilton Capital Holding Limited, Hamilton Investment Management Limited, Hamilton Opportunity Fund SPC, Haoran He, Himalaya Currency Clearing Pty Ltd., Himalaya International Clearing Limited, Himalaya International Financial Group Limited, Himalaya International Payments Limited, Himalaya International Reserves\n\n### Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 12 of 135\n\nLimited, Jovial Century International Limited, K Legacy Ltd., Karin Maistrello, Leading Shine Limited, Major Lead International Limited, Mei Guo, Next Tycoon Investments Limited, Qiang Guo, Rule of Law Foundation III, Inc., Rule of Law Society IV, Inc., Saraca Media Group, Inc., Seven Mission Group LLC, Kin Ming Je (a/k/a William Je, a/k/a Yu Jianming a/k/a W. Je) (\"William Je\"), and Wise Creation International Limited (collectively, the \"Defendants\"). In support of this Complaint, the Trustee states as follows:\n\n#### **NATURE OF ACTION**\n\n1. This complaint, like those that have proceeded it, sets forth further details of the Debtor's scheme of using shell companies, nominally owned by family members or business subordinates, but that in reality are his alter egos and equitably or beneficially owned by him, to launder money, conceal his business dealings, and hide his valuable assets from creditors.\n\n2. The Trustee has already commenced litigation that remains pending or in which the Trustee has prevailed asserting alter ego and equitable ownership claims (or similar claims under applicable law) against certain of the Debtor's shell companies, including claims against: (i) HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited (\"HK USA\"); (ii) Greenwich Land LLC (\"Greenwich Land\"); (iii) Whitecroft Shore Limited (\"Whitecroft\"); (iv) HCHK Technologies, Inc. (\"HCHK Technologies\"), HCHK Property Management, Inc. (\"HCHK Property\"), and Lexington Property and Staffing, Inc. (\"Lexington Property\" and together with HCHK Technologies and HCHK Property, the \"HCHK Entities\"); (v) Taurus Fund, LLC (\"Taurus Fund\"); (vi) Golden Spring (New York) Ltd. (\"Golden Spring\"); (vii) Lamp Capital LLC (\"Lamp Capital\"); (viii) Hudson Diamond NY LLC (\"Hudson Diamond NY\"); and (ix) Leading Shine NY Ltd. (\"Leading Shine NY\"). The facts and machinations demonstrated in those actions are in many ways doppelgangers for the allegations set forth herein.\n\n## Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 13 of 135\n\n3. As explained in those actions, the Debtor uses his network of shell companies to hide the assets the Debtor uses to fund his lavish lifestyle. These assets largely come from the Debtor's fraudulent enterprise, as will be set forth in detail in the Trustee's forthcoming complaint seeking damages for violations of the Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act and conspiracy to violate the Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act (the \"RICO Complaint\").[2](#page-12-0)\n\n4. The Debtor operates his network of shell companies through loyal subordinates comprised of family members and friends, counsel, employees, or New Federal State of China/Himalaya Global Alliance leaders. The Debtor's son and daughter, his money manager William Je, and his assistant Yvette Wang, play key reoccurring roles, as does the team of employees that worked for the Debtor in New York at 162 E. 64th Street and 3 Columbus Circle (the \"New York Team\") under the supervision of Yvette Wang. Members of the New York Team have included, among others, Debtor employees such as Max Krasner, Anthony DiBattista, and Alex Hadjicharalambous. These individuals served as nominal officers, directors, bank account signatories, and key employees of numerous of the Debtor's shell companies, ensuring that these shell companies acted at the Debtor's will.\n\n5. The entities with respect to which this Complaint seeks alter ego and equitable ownership rulings (or similar relief under applicable law) (the \"Debtor Entities\") are:\n\n- a. **G Entities,** comprising Saraca, the G Club Entities, the G Fashion Entities, G Music, Freedom Media Ventures, Wise Creation, and the Himalaya Exchange Entities, each as defined below (collectively, the \"**G Entities**\"). The G Entities are all linked to the Debtor's public-facing alleged businesses that he promoted to his online audience and that he used to solicit funds.\n\t- i. **Saraca Media Group, Inc.** (\"**Saraca**\"), a purported media company and parent company of GTV Media Group, Inc. (\"GTV\") organized in\n\n 2 The allegations set forth in the RICO Complaint are incorporated by reference herein.\n\nCase 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 14 of 135\n\n> Delaware, through which, among other things, the Debtor orchestrated the solicitation of a purported private placement of GTV shares during April-June of 2020. The nominal ultimate owner of Saraca is the Debtor's son, Qiang Guo.\n\n- ii. **G Club International Limited** (\"**G Club International**\"), an entity organized in the BVI, and **G Club Operations LLC** (\"**G Club Operations**\"), an entity organized in Puerto Rico (collectively, the \"**G Club Entities**\"), that the Debtor used to operate \"G Club,\" his purported membership organization, from which he directed funds to be used for lavish personal purchases.\n- iii. **G Fashion International Limited, G Fashion Hold Co A Limited**, **and G Fashion Hold Co B Limited,** entities organized in the BVI**, G Fashion (CA),** an entity organized in California, and **GF IP, LLC, GF Italy, LLC, GFashion Media Group Inc.,** and **GFNY, Inc.**, entities organized in Delaware (collectively, the \"**G Fashion Entities**\"), that the Debtor used to operate his \"GFashion\" clothing brand.\n- iv. **G Music LLC (\"G Music\")**, an entity organized in Delaware and used by the Debtor to, among other things, operate his music business.\n- v. **Freedom Media Ventures Limited** (\"**Freedom Media Ventures**\"), an entity organized in the BVI used by the Debtor to, among other things,\n- vi. **Wise Creation International Limited** (\"**Wise Creation**\"), an entity organized in the BVI the Debtor uses\n- vii. **Himalaya International Financial Group Limited, Himalaya International Reserves Limited, Himalaya International Clearing Limited**, and **Himalaya International Payments Limited**, entities organized in the BVI, and **Himalaya Currency Clearing Pty Ltd.,** an entity organized in Australia (collectively, the \"**Himalaya Exchange Entities**\"), that the Debtor used to operate his purported cryptocurrency business, the \"Himalaya Exchange,\" which the Debtor used to, among other things, fund the \\$37 million placed into escrow in connection with the return of the Lady May to the United States.\n- b. **Purported Non-Profits,** comprising Rule of Law Foundation III, Inc. (\"Rule of Law Foundation\"), and Rule of Law Society IV, Inc. (\"Rule of Law Society\" and, together with Rule of Law Foundation, the \"**Rule of Law Entities**\"), entities organized in Delaware, nominally ultimately owned by Yvette Wang, the Debtor's assistant, through her holding company Seven Mission Group LLC, and\n\nused by the Debtor to obtain funding from his followers, to make payments to his own shell companies, and to fund protest activities on behalf of the Debtor.\n\n- c. **Funding Entities**, comprising ACA Capital Group and the Hamilton Entities, each as defined below (together, the \"**Funding Entities**\"). The Funding Entities are used by the Debtor to hold his funds, and deploy such funds at the Debtor's direction.\n\t- i. **ACA Capital Group Ltd.** (\"**ACA Capital Group**\"), an entity organized in Hong Kong, that the Debtor used to, among other things, provide funding to his other shell entities, including Greenwich Land, Lamp Capital, Golden Spring, Saraca, Hudson Diamond NY, and Leading Shine NY, among others, as well as to fund legal and other expenses, including \\$9 million provided to Golden Spring in connection with the DIP financing proposed by the Debtor in March 2022.\n\t- ii. **Hamilton Capital Holding Limited**, an entity organized in the United Kingdom, **Hamilton Investment Management Limited**, an entity organized in the BVI, and **Hamilton Opportunity Fund SPC** (including its segregated portfolios, \"**Hamilton Opportunity Fund**\"), an entity organized in the Cayman Islands, (collectively, the \"**Hamilton Entities**\").\n- d. **Other Debtor Entities**, comprising K Legacy, Bravo Luck, China Golden Spring, Leading Shine BVI, Anton Development, Eastern Profit, Alfa Global, and Alfonso Global, each as defined below (together, the \"**Other Debtor Entities**\").

The nominal owner of K Legacy is the Debtor's son, Qiang Guo.\n\t- ii. **Bravo Luck Limited** (\"**Bravo Luck**\"), an entity organized in the BVI that the Debtor used to, among other things, transfer funds for the Debtor to purchase his yacht, the Lady May, and his apartment at the Sherry Netherland Hotel (the \"Sherry Netherland Apartment\"),\n\nThe purported nominal owner of Bravo Luck is the Debtor's son, Qiang Guo.\n\n- iii. **China Golden Spring Group (Hong Kong) Ltd.** (\"**China Golden Spring**\"), an entity organized in Hong Kong and nominal parent company of Golden Spring.

The Debtor is a prolific user of shell companies, nominally owned by family members or business subordinates, to shield his assets and activities from creditors. The Debtor's \"shell game\" has allowed him to continue to deny ownership of assets, refuse to pay debts, and—until his arrest by the FBI—live a life of luxury.\n\n52. The Trustee has been steadily unraveling the Debtor's shell game, and the Trustee has already sought alter ego and equitable ownership rulings from this Court regarding multiple of the Debtor's shell companies. The actions commenced by the Trustee in this regard either (i) remain pending or (ii) have resulted in rulings in the Trustee's favor.\n\n#### **A. Court's Alter Ego and Ownership Rulings**\n\n53. This Court has already found that HK USA, Golden Spring, Lamp Capital, and Ace Decade Limited (\"Ace Decade\") are alter egos of, and/or equitably or beneficially owned by, the Debtor.\n\n54. These entities exhibit many of the same recurring fact patterns observable in the Debtor Entities subject to this Complaint: (a) nominal ownership of an entity by someone with a close relationship to the Debtor, such as a family member or assistant; (b) the lack of observance of corporate formalities including through the siphoning of assets for personal use; (c) the entity holding title to an asset beneficially owned by the Debtor; (d) the entity being formed at the direction of the Debtor; (e) the entity providing funding for the Debtor's expenses; (f) the entity being staffed by employees of the Debtor; (g) the entity sharing an office address with the Debtor and other entities associated with the Debtor; and (h) the entity having no independent business purpose (other than to own assets of the Debtor) or source of funds (other than the Debtor).\n\n## Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 21 of 135\n\n#### **i. HK USA**\n\n55. In March 2023, this Court found that HK USA,[4](#page-20-0) nominally owned by the Debtor's daughter, Mei Guo, held title to the Lady May yacht, which was beneficially owned by the Debtor.[5](#page-20-1) Then, in May 2023, the Court held that HK USA was the Debtor's alter ego. [6](#page-20-2) The Court based its alter ego ruling on, among other things: HK USA's lack of income or liquid assets; HK USA's lack of observance of corporate formalities; HK USA's status as an instrumentality of the Debtor whose only business purpose was the nominal ownership, operation, and maintenance of assets the Debtor beneficially owned and controlled; and the indicia of \"injustice wrought by the corporate form\" where a closely held corporation was nominally owned by a family member of the person who beneficially owned and controlled the corporation's assets.[7](#page-20-3)\n\n### **ii. Golden Spring**\n\n56. In the Golden Spring Adversary Proceeding, the Trustee obtained alter ego and equitable ownership rulings in his favor pursuant to the default judgment entered by the Court on December 4, 2023.[8](#page-20-4) In his complaint in that action,[9](#page-20-5) the Trustee alleged that Golden Spring,\n\n 4 HK USA was the subject of adversary proceeding number 22-05003 (the \"HK USA Adversary Proceeding\").\n\nThe Trustee's counterclaims filed in the HK USA Adversary Proceeding are incorporated by reference herein. 5 *Supplemental Memorandum of Decision in Support of Oral Ruling Granting Motion for Partial Summary Judgment*, at 31 (Adv.

The ownership interests in Golden Spring are property of the Debtor's chapter 11 estate and shall be turned over and/or surrendered to the Trustee.\"). 9 The Trustee's complaint filed in the Golden Spring Adversary Proceeding is incorporated by reference herein.\n\n\n\n## Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 22 of 135\n\nnominally owned by the Debtor's son through China Golden Spring, was, among other things, formed at the Debtor's direction, funded by the Debtor, controlled by the Debtor through his advisors and employees, used by the Debtor to hold his assets and pay his expenses, and managed and staffed by the Debtor's employees. The Court's default judgment order ruled that the well-pleaded allegations in the Trustee's complaint met the elements of the alter ego and equitable ownership causes of action asserted by the Trustee.\n\n#### **iii. Lamp Capital**\n\n57. In the Lamp Capital Adversary Proceeding, the Trustee obtained alter ego and equitable ownership rulings in his favor pursuant to the default judgment entered by the Court on February 1, 2024.[10](#page-21-0) In his complaint,[11](#page-21-1) the Trustee alleged that Lamp Capital, nominally owned by the Debtor's son through Infinity Treasury Management Inc., was, among other things, formed by the Debtor through his counsel, managed by the Debtor through his agents, funded by the Debtor, used by the Debtor to pay his expenses, and had the same address as the Debtor. In its memorandum of decision (the \"Lamp Capital Decision\"), the Court explained, among other things, that:\n\nA reasonable factfinder could find on the basis of the allegations that the Individual Debtor dominated and controlled Lamp Capital, as evidenced by, e.g., the alleged facts that Lamp (a) was formed by the Individual Debtor; (b) provides funding for the Individual Debtor's expenses, including related to the filing of the Petition and to assets such the Lady May and the Apartment; (c) is staffed by employees of the Individual Debtor, including his employee Ms. Wang; (d) shares an office address with other entities associated with the Individual Debtor, including his alter egos Golden Spring and HK USA; and (e) has no independent business purpose or source of funds.\n\n 10 *See Default Judgment in Favor of Chapter 11 Trustee for Estate of Ho Wan Kwok on First and Second Claims of his Complaint Against Lamp Capital LLC And Infinity Treasury Management Inc.* ¶¶ 2-3 (Adv. Proc. No. 23- 05023, Feb. 1, 2024) [Docket No. 66] (\"[A]t all times Lamp Capital was an alter ego of the Debtor. . . the ownership interests in Lamp Capital are property of the Debtor's chapter 11 estate and shall be turned over and/or surrendered to the Trustee.\") (the \"Lamp Capital Adversary Proceeding\"). 11 The Trustee's complaint filed in the Lamp Capital Adversary Proceeding is incorporated by reference herein.\n\n\n\nA reasonable fact finder could also find on the basis of the allegations that Lamp Capital's corporate form caused fraud or similar injustice, as evidenced by, *e.g.*, the alleged facts that (f) Lamp Capital had no business purpose or existence other than pooling the Individual Debtor's liquid assets, which were siphoned to pay his expenses without consideration; and (g) its indirect, record owner was Mr. Guo, the Individual Debtor's son.\n\nTherefore, a reasonable factfinder could determine both elements in favor of granting the Trustee his requested relief.\n\nA reasonable factfinder could also conclude from the alleged facts that the Individual Debtor is the equitable owner of Lamp Capital and its assets. In this adversary proceeding, (1) the alleged indirect nominal owner of Lamp Capital is Mr. Guo, the Individual Debtor's son, (2) Lamp Capital is alleged to have received funds for no consideration, (3) the purpose of Lamp Capital is alleged to be the avoidance of the Individual Debtor's creditors, and (4) the Individual Debtor is alleged to dominate and control Lamp Capital, as discussed above. [12](#page-22-0)\n\n58. The Court also explained that even if an entity like Lamp Capital had corporate\n\nofficers and created corporate documents, the observance of corporate formalities could not in\n\nand of itself be dispositive in connection with an alter ego ruling because such a ruling requires\n\nexamining non-dispositive factors that require a holistic analysis.[13](#page-22-1) Further, the Court observed\n\nthat siphoning funds from an entity for personal use *per se* disregards corporate formalities. [14](#page-22-2)\n\n## **iv. Ace Decade**\n\n59. The Court also ruled in November 2022 that Ace Decade was beneficially owned\n\nby the Debtor despite that entity's nominal owner at the time being Yvette Wang.[15](#page-22-3) In January\n\n2023, the Court ruled that Yvette Wang was only the nominee owner of Ace Decade and that the\n\nDebtor controlled and employed Yvette Wang.[16](#page-22-4)\n\n 12 *Memorandum of Decision and Order Granting Motion for Default Judgment and Denying Cross-Motion to set Aside Default*, at 31-32 (Adv. Proc. No. 23-05023, Feb. 1, 2024) [Docket No. 63] (internal citations omitted). 13 *Id*. at 25.\n\n\n\n14 *Id*. 15 *Order Regarding Partial Resolution of Trustee's Contempt Motion* ¶ 1 [Main Case Docket No. 1110].\n\n16 *See Order Granting Motion to Hold Debtor in Contempt of Corporate Governance Order* (\"Corp.

The Trustee has since learned that Yvette Wang, while the Ace Decade proceedings were ongoing (but after the Court's November 2022 ruling that the Debtor exclusively beneficially owned and controlled Ace Decade), transferred the stock of Ace Decade that she\n\n### Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 24 of 135\n\n#### **B. Pending Actions With Respect to Shell Companies**\n\n60. The Trustee has also commenced adversary proceedings seeking alter ego/equitable ownership rulings with respect to a number of other Debtor shell companies which remain pending. The Trustee has made allegations regarding these shell companies, supported by voluminous evidence, that fit the same fact pattern underlying the Court's rulings described above and arising from the Debtor's pattern and practice of establishing shell companies nominally held by others to hide his assets from creditors. Among other things these entities were all nominally owned by family members or employees of the Debtor, staffed by the Debtor's agents, funded by the Debtor, used by the Debtor to pay his expenses, shared an address with the Debtor, and held title to the Debtor's assets.\n\n61. The Trustee alleged that Greenwich Land,[17](#page-23-0) though nominally owned by the Debtor's wife, was managed by the Debtor's employees, used the same address as other Debtor shell companies, had its transactions orchestrated and controlled by the Debtor, was funded by other Debtor shell companies, had its property used as the Debtor's residence, and paid the Debtor's expenses. In the Greenwich Land Adversary Proceeding, the Trustee has sought alter ego and equitable ownership rulings against Greenwich Land, in connection with which the Court entered a prejudgment remedy and temporary restraining order against Greenwich Land and the Debtor's wife.[18](#page-23-1)\n\nnominally owned to an individual located in Switzerland name Rui Hao. As alleged in the Trustee's complaint (the \"Ace Decade Complaint\") filed in Adv. Proc. No. 23-05028 (the \"Ace Decade Adversary Proceeding\"), incorporated by reference herein, Defendant Hao is the brother of Tian Hao, who is an officer of multiple entities controlled by the Debtor, including chief financial officer and director of G Fashion (CA) and chief\n\nexecutive officer of G Music. 17 Greenwich Land is the subject of Adversary Proceeding No. 23-05005 (the \"Greenwich Land Adversary Proceeding\"). The Trustee's complaint filed in the Greenwich Land Adversary Proceeding is incorporated by reference herein.\n\n18 The Trustee has sought an alter ego judgment against Greenwich Land in the Greenwich Land Adversary Proceeding, in connection with which the Court entered a prejudgment remedy and temporary restraining order against Greenwich Land and the Debtor's wife. *See Order Granting in Part Ex Parte Motion for Temporary*\n\n### Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 25 of 135\n\n62. The Trustee alleged that Whitecroft,[19](#page-24-0) though nominally owned by Mei Guo, used an address used by the Debtor and other Debtor-affiliated individuals and entities, never had any business other than holding title to the Debtor's Bombardier jet, and never had any material assets other than the Bombardier jet, which was transferred to Whitecroft by its prior owner, Anton Development (itself nominally owned by Mei Guo), for no consideration. In the Bombardier Adversary Proceeding the Trustee seeks, among other things, a ruling that Whitecroft and nine other BVI entities[20](#page-24-1) nominally owned by Mei Guo are in fact equitably owned by the Debtor.\n\n63. Leading Shine NY was named as a defendant in the Lamp Capital Adversary Proceeding.[21](#page-24-2) The Trustee alleged that Leading Shine NY, nominally owned by the Debtor's daughter, was, among other things, managed by the Debtor through his agents, funded by the Debtor, used by the Debtor to transfer money to other Debtor-controlled shell companies, used by the Debtor to pay his expenses, and operated out of the same address used by other Debtor shell companies.\n\n64. Hudson Diamond NY was named as a defendant in the Lamp Capital Adversary Proceeding. The Trustee alleged that Hudson Diamond NY, nominally owned by the Debtor's daughter through Hudson Diamond Holding LLC was, among other things, formed by the\n\n*Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction* (Adv. Proc. No. 23-05005, Mar. 28, 2023) [Docket No. 14]; *Order Granting Chapter 11 Trustee's Amended Application for Ex Parte Prejudgment Remedy* (Adv. Proc. No. 23-05005, Mar. 28, 2023) [Docket No. 15]. The Court heard summary judgment arguments in the Greenwich Land Adversary Proceeding on January 9, 2024.\n\n19 Whitecroft is the subject of Adversary Proceeding No. 23-05008 (the \"Bombardier Adversary Proceeding\"). The Trustee's complaint filed in the Bombardier Adversary Proceeding is incorporated by reference herein. Summary judgment arguments in the Bombardier Adversary Proceeding took placed on February 5, 2024.\n\n20 These entities are: Allied Capital Global Limited, Creative Apex Investments Limited, Crystal Breeze Investments Limited, Elite Well Global Limited, Globalist International Limited, Infinite Increase Limited, Infinitum Developments Limited, Noble Fame Global Limited, and Rosy Acme Ventures Limited.\n\n21 In the Lamp Capital Adversary Proceeding, a default was entered with respect to Leading Shine NY on December 14, 2023, and the parties have completed briefing in connection with Leading Shine NY's motion to set aside the default.\n\n### Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 26 of 135\n\nDebtor through his counsel, managed by the Debtor through his agents, funded by the Debtor, used by the Debtor for his real estate transactions, used by the Debtor to transfer money to other Debtor-controlled shell companies and family members, and operated out of the same address used by other Debtor shell companies. [22](#page-25-0)\n\n65. The Trustee alleged that the HCHK Entities[23](#page-25-1) were staffed and nominally owned by the Debtor's employees,[24](#page-25-2) were affiliates of Gettr USA, Inc., GTV, G Club, G Fashion, and G Music (which the Court had already found to be controlled by or to serve as business vehicles for the Debtor), paid the Debtor's expenses, and were funded by the Debtor. In the HCHK Adversary Proceeding, the Trustee has sought alter ego and equitable ownership rulings with respect to the HCHK Entities, in connection with which the Court entered a temporary restraining order in June of 2023.[25](#page-25-3) An entry of default was issued on September 29, 2023, and on January 9, 2024, arguments were heard with respect to certain of the defendants' motion to set aside the default.\n\n66. The Trustee alleged that Taurus Fund[26](#page-25-4) was managed by the Debtor's driver and bodyguard, had not followed corporate formalities, and held title to the Mahwah Mansion, which was purchased with money controlled by the Debtor and used by the Debtor as his residence. In\n\n 22 The parties have completed briefing in connection with Hudson Diamond NY's motion to dismiss, and a hearing on the motion is scheduled to be held in March 2024.\n\n23 The HCHK Entities are the subject of Adversary Proceeding No. 23-05013 (the \"HCHK Adversary Proceeding\"). The Trustee's complaint filed in the HCHK Adversary Proceeding is incorporated by reference herein. 24 Each of the HCHK Entities is nominally owned (a) 99.9999% by a British Virgin Islands (\"BVI\") entity\n\nnominally owned by the Debtor's personal assistant, Yvette Wang and (b) 0.0001% by the Debtor's employee Anthony DiBattista\n\n25 *See Order Granting in Part Emergency Ex Parte Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction Order* (Adv. Proc. No. 23-05013, June 12, 2023) [Docket No. 18].\n\n26 Taurus Fund, purportedly managed by the Debtor's bodyguard and driver, Scott Barnett, was used by the Debtor to hold title to the Mahwah Mansion, and is the subject of adversary proceeding 23-05017 (the \"Mahwah Mansion Adversary Proceeding\"). The Trustee's complaint filed in the Mahwah Mansion Adversary Proceeding is incorporated by reference herein.\n\n### Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 27 of 135\n\nthe Mahwah Mansion Adversary Proceeding, the Trustee has sought alter ego and equitable ownership rulings with respect to Taurus Fund, in connection with which the Court entered a preliminary injunction order on August 24, 2023.[27](#page-26-0)\n\n#### **C. Scope of Debtor's Shell Game**\n\n67. The Debtor has spent the last ten years creating shell companies to hide and move his assets. The Debtor moved those funds around the world by transferring them through Defendants like Alfa Global, Alfonso Global, Eastern Profit, Anton Development, and Bravo Luck, spending hundreds of millions of dollars on personal assets such as the Lady May, the Sherry Netherland Apartment, and the London Apartment.\n\n68. The Trustee, in the forthcoming RICO Complaint, will allege with particularity the Debtor's creation and management of a complex criminal enterprise to conspire and act with (among others) the Debtor Entities and their nominal owners to intentionally (i) use these entities as a means of engaging in criminal activity to enrich the Debtor and (ii) do so in a way as to hide the Debtor's misbegotten assets from his creditors. The Debtor's use of these shell companies to be able to enact his scheme while concealing the badges of ownership and control of the entities holding and managing his assets is a bedrock pillar of the Debtor's enterprise. The Debtor Entities that are the subject of this complaint were established by the Debtor as part of a scheme to avoid his obligations to creditors.\n\n69. According to the U.S. Government's indictment in connection with the Debtor's arrest by the FBI on March 15, 2023, in the period between 2020 and 2023, the Debtor and his co-defendants William Je and Yvette Wang \"utilized more than approximately 500 accounts held\n\n 27 *See Memorandum of Decision and Order Granting in Part Motion for Preliminary Injunction* (Adv. Proc. No. 23-05017, Aug. 24, 2023) [Docket No. 47].\n\n### Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 28 of 135\n\nin the names of *at least 80 different entities or individuals*\" to launder fraud proceeds.[28](#page-27-0) The U.S. Government's latest superseding indictment, dated January 3, 2024 (the \"Superseding Indictment\") adds that \"[h]undreds of millions of dollars of the fraudulent scheme's proceeds were transferred, either directly or indirectly, to bank accounts in the United States, the Bahamas, Switzerland, and the United Arab Emirates (\"UAE\"), among other places.\"[29](#page-27-1)\n\n70. Like the RICO Complaint, the Superseding Indictment alleges, among other things, that the Debtor and his co-defendants created and maintained a number of \"interrelated and overlapping entities\" that formed the \"Kwok Enterprise,\" which \"obtained fraud proceeds, laundered those proceeds, spent fraud proceeds on expensive and luxury items, vehicles, and property for the benefit of KWOK and his family, used fraud proceeds to promote the Kwok Enterprise, and used fraud proceeds to operate and manage the Kwok Enterprise.\"[30](#page-27-2) According to the Superseding Indictment, the entities making up the Kwok Enterprise include, among others, entities with respect to which the Trustee has previously sought (and in some cases obtained) alter ego and equitable ownership rulings[31](#page-27-3) as well as many of the Debtor Entities that are the subject of this Complaint, as discussed further below.\n\n71. The Superseding Indictment also discusses the particular fraudulent schemes the Debtor and his co-conspirators engaged in, and in which certain of the Debtor Entities that are the subject of this Complaint were heavily involved. These schemes included (i) the GTV Private Placement (as defined below) undertaken between April and June of 2020; (ii) the Farm\n\n 28 *See Memorandum of Law of the United States of America in Opposition to Defendant Yanping Wang's Motion for Pretrial Release* (the \"USAO Memorandum\"), 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]. 29 Ex. 2, Superseding Indictment ¶ 4.\n\n\n\n\n\n30 Ex. 2 ¶ 3. 31 *See id.* ¶ 3.a (listing Golden Spring, Greenwich Land, HCHK Property Management, Inc., HCHK Technologies, Inc., Hudson Diamond NY, Infinity Treasury Management, Lamp Capital, Leading Shine NY, Lexington Property and Staffing Inc., and Taurus Fund).\n\n### Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 29 of 135\n\nLoan Program (as defined in the Superseding Indictment), involving the solicitation of additional funds in the form of purported loans provided by the Debtor's followers, supposedly in exchange for GTV stock, to entities established by the leaders of organizations of the Debtor's supporters known as \"Himalaya Farms\"; (iii) the sale of memberships in the Debtor's purported membership club, G Club, again based on representations that the purchase of a G Club membership would entitle the purchaser to stock in the Debtor's GTV or G Fashion Entities, and (iv) the sale of purported Himalaya Coin and Himalaya Dollar cryptocurrency by the Himalaya Exchange.\n\n72. In connection with each of these schemes, and as further discussed below, the Debtor used his massive online platform and following to generate hundreds of millions of dollars in funds from his followers. The Debtor directed these funds to the Debtor Entities, and the Debtor then spent these funds on numerous lavish personal expenses.\n\n#### **D. Key Individuals**\n\n73. The Debtor operated his shell companies through a collection of family members, employees, and loyal lieutenants who took instruction from the Debtor and acted as the Debtor's agents on his behalf. With regard to the Debtor Entities, these individuals acted at the direction and behest of the Debtor, recognizing him as the head of the family, the \"boss\", the \"principal,\" or as the head of the NFSC/Himalaya Global Alliance (members of which this Court found to be personally loyal to the Debtor). These individuals serve on the Debtor's behalf as, among other things, nominal owners, authorized signatories, directors, officers, and key employees of his various shell companies, and are discussed below in several categories.\n\n> a. **The Debtor's Children.** The Debtor has a long running practice of putting shell companies under the names of his children.\n\n- i. **Mei Guo** is the Debtor's daughter. Mei Guo has served the Debtor as nominal ultimate owner of numerous of his shell companies, as alleged herein and in prior complaints filed by the Trustee. One of the entities nominally owned by Mei Guo was HK USA, which this Court found to be the Debtor's alter ego. Upon information and belief, Mei Guo has never held gainful employment outside of the Debtor's shell companies and has no source of wealth other than the Debtor. At the Debtor's deposition in March 2023, when asked whether all assets held in the name of Mei Guo were really assets of his estate, the Debtor asserted the Fifth Amendment.[32](#page-29-0)\n- ii. **Qiang (\"Mileson\") Guo** is the Debtor's son. During the time period relevant to this Complaint, Qiang Guo has resided in both the United Kingdom and the United States. Qiang Guo has served the Debtor as nominal ultimate owner of numerous of his shell companies, as alleged herein and in prior complaints filed by the Trustee. Upon information and belief, Qiang Guo has never held gainful employment outside of the Debtor's shell companies and has no source of wealth other than the Debtor. At the Debtor's deposition in March 2023, when asked whether all assets held in the name of Qiang Guo were really assets of his estate, the Debtor asserted the Fifth Amendment.[33](#page-29-1)\n- b. **Inner Circle**. A small number of highly placed individuals are the Debtor's key agents in operating his shell companies.\n\t- i. **William Je** is the Debtor's agent, in particular with regards to the Debtor's funds, and is a co-defendant of the Debtor in his criminal case. During the time period relevant to this Complaint, William Je resided primarily in the United Kingdom (though, upon information and belief, he travelled to the United States regularly), and he is now believed to be located in the UAE. According to the U.S. Government, William Je is a \"key money launderer\" for the Debtor's enterprise.[34](#page-29-2) In addition:\n\t\t- William Je has a long history of acting on the Debtor's behalf going back at least to the period prior to the Debtor's arrival in the United States. Upon information and belief, William Je acted as the Debtor's agent in connection with the Debtor's financial transactions at least as far back as 2014, when William Je held a position at Macquarie Capital Securities Limited in Hong Kong, if not earlier. Mei Guo refers to William Je as \"uncle William\" and testified that he was a close family friend.[35](#page-29-3)\n\n 32 *See* Ho Wan Kwok Dep.

In May 2023, the Debtor again asserted the Fifth Amendment when asked in writing to state that he had control over William Je.[37](#page-30-1)\n- William Je assisted the Debtor in the transfer of \\$37 million to be placed in escrow in connection with the return of the Lady May to the United States, signing the purported loan agreement with HK USA on behalf of the purported lender, Himalaya International Financial Group Limited.\n- In prior litigation in the Southern District of New York in front of Judge Liman related to the Debtor's Eastern Profit shell company, trial testimony was elicited in 2021 that the Debtor had described Mr. Je as \"my money man.\"[38](#page-30-2) At this trial, the Debtor also asserted the Fifth\n\n\n\n36 Debtor's March Depo. at 40-41. 37 *Debtor's Sworn Declaration Regarding Responses to Particular Questions*, ¶ 50, dated May 11, 2023 (the \"Responses to Certain Questions\"), attached as Exhibit 1 to the adversary complaint in the HCHK Adversary Proceeding. 38 *See* Trial Tr. at 774:24-775:1, *Eastern Profit Corp.

Ms. Wang is a co-defendant of the Debtor in his criminal case. According to the U.S. Government, Ms. Wang played an \"instrumental role\" in the Debtor's fraud scheme as his \"trusted chief of staff who is tasked with managing operations at even those entities with which she has no formal affiliation.\"[42](#page-31-3) When asked at his deposition whether Ms. Wang was his employee, the Debtor asserted his Fifth Amendment right against selfincrimination.[43](#page-31-4) In May 2023, the Debtor again asserted the Fifth Amendment when asked in writing to state that he had control over Yvette Wang.[44](#page-31-5)\n- iii. **Haoran He** is believed to be a purported real estate developer residing in the United Kingdom who serves the Debtor as nominal owner for numerous of the G Entities, as discussed herein. Upon information and belief, Haoran He is a strawman of the Debtor who was selected by the Debtor to be the nominal owner of these entities precisely so as to avoid the regulatory and other scrutiny that would arise if the entities were placed in the name of the Debtor or one of his family members. Upon information and belief, Haoran He acts at the direction of the Debtor, who communicates with Haoran He either directly or through his son and Yvette Wang.

At the Debtor's deposition in March 2023, when asked whether Saraca was an entity in fact owned and controlled by him, the Debtor asserted the Fifth Amendment. At the same March 2023 deposition, the Debtor also asserted the Fifth Amendment when asked if he had exclusive control and exclusive beneficial ownership of Saraca. In May 2023, the Debtor asserted the Fifth Amendment when asked in writing to state that he had control over Saraca. [71](#page-41-1)\n\n86.

The Debtor's control over the G Club Entities and G Fashion Entities through his New York based employees was facilitated by arrangements whereby purported \"back office\" services often comprising the bulk, if not entirety, of the entities' day to day operations (including but not limited to the administration of an entity's financial and legal affairs) for numerous of his entities, including the G Club Entities and G Fashion Entities, were delegated to the Debtor's New York offices and employees. Initially, G Club Operations' financial and legal affairs were delegated to GTV, operating out of the Debtor's office at 162 E. 64th Street. Subsequently, the G Club Entities' and G Fashion Entities' financial and legal affairs were delegated to HCHK Technologies, operating out of the Debtor's office at 3 Columbus Circle. Thus, the G Club Entities and G Fashion Entities were controlled by the Debtor through his agents and operated from the same addresses as the Debtor and his other entities, with whom they were inextricably intertwined.\n\n91. The experience of Alex Hadjicharalambous, financial controller at G Club Operations and a key individual who assisted the Debtor in controlling the G Club Entities, is illustrative in this regard.\n\n![](_page_44_Figure_0.jpeg)\n\n![](_page_44_Figure_1.jpeg)\n\n94.

The sale of G Club memberships generated hundreds of millions dollars for G Club Operations and, through G Club Operations, for G Club International. In addition, upon information and belief, the Debtor generated funds for the G Fashion Entities by encouraging his followers to purchase G Fashion clothing.\n\n![](_page_45_Figure_2.jpeg)\n\n96.

The Debtor controlled Wise Creation through his agents. Wise Creation was nominally owned directly by Haoran He. Manuel Martinez Anzaldua served as the entity's authorized representative.\n\n112. Upon information and belief, Wise Creation only acted at the direction of the Debtor, with such direction communicated either directly by the Debtor or through his agents.\n\n113. As with other entities, Wise Creation was effectively managed by the Debtor's employees from the Debtor's offices at 3 Columbus Circle pursuant to service agreements with HCHK Technologies, which administered Freedom Media Ventures' financial and legal affairs.\n\n114.

Himalaya Exchange Entities**\n\n116. The Himalaya Exchange Entities consist of Himalaya International Financial Group Limited, Himalaya International Reserves Limited, Himalayan International Payments Limited, and Himalaya International Clearing Limited, each of which is organized in the BVI, as well as Himalaya Currency Clearing Pty Ltd., which is organized in Australia. Each of the Himalaya Exchange entities is nominally ultimately owned by William Je through a series of shell companies.\n\n117. The Debtor controlled the Himalaya Exchange Entities through their nominal owner, the Debtor's financial agent, William Je, who in turn operated the Himalaya Exchange Entities using the assistance of individuals based in the United Kingdom and also employed by the Hamilton Entities (another set of entities nominally owned by William Je, but in reality beneficially owned by the Debtor). Upon information and belief, these individuals were subordinates of William Je who took direction from William Je (and, through William Je, the Debtor), and they served as officers and directors of the Himalaya Entities and Hamilton Entities. Such individuals included David Fallon, an individual that counsel for Taurus Fund claimed, during a hearing in the Mahwah Mansion Adversary Proceeding, had given him instructions in connection with representing Taurus Fund. Upon information and belief, the Himalaya Exchange Entities and Hamilton Entities operated as one business.\n\n118. The Himalaya Exchange Entities operate the Himalaya Exchange, the Debtor's purported cryptocurrency \"ecosystem,\" through which the Debtor solicited his followers to purchase purported cryptocurrencies—H Dollar and H Coin. Commencing at least in or about April 2021, the Debtor actively promoted these purported cryptocurrencies, including in his wellknown \"H Coin to the Moon\" music video and in broadcasts where, among other things, he told\n\n### Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 54 of 135\n\nhis followers that he would personally compensate anyone who lost money in connection with investing in H Coin. According to the U.S. Government, the Debtor claimed to have designed the Himalaya Exchange purported cryptocurrencies, and the origin of these purported cryptocurrencies with the Debtor is demonstrated by the fact that Saraca registered \"Himalaya Coin\" and \"Himalaya Dollar\" as its assumed names in the State of New York, using filings signed by Yvette Wang and submitted to the State of New York Department of State in May 2020 (prior to the launch of the Himalaya Exchange) with the assistance of the Debtor's counsel at Hodgson Russ LLP.\n\n119. The Debtor was responsible for the funding of the Himalaya Exchange Entities through his solicitation of purchases of Himalaya Exchange purported cryptocurrencies by his followers. The U.S. Government has alleged, among other things, that the Debtor and his codefendants fraudulently obtained more than \\$262 million in victim funds through the Himalaya Exchange. In connection with their investigation of the Debtor, the U.S. Government seized millions of dollars held in bank accounts under the names of Himalaya International Reserves Limited, Himalaya International Clearing Limited, Himalaya International Financial Group Limited, and Himalaya Currency Clearing Pty Ltd.\n\n120. The Debtor has also used the Himalaya Exchange Entities for his own personal benefit. Most notably, on behalf of and at the direction of the Debtor, William Je arranged for Himalaya International Financial Group Limited to transfer \\$37 million (sourced from Himalaya International Clearing Limited) to HK USA's counsel, Zeisler & Zeisler, which funds were then placed into escrow in connection with the stipulation regarding the return of the Lady May to the United States. The transfer of these funds took place pursuant to a purported loan agreement between Himalaya International Financial Group Limited and HK USA, signed by William Je,\n\n## Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 55 of 135\n\nbut was in fact a gratuitous transfer from one Debtor-controlled entity to another. As the Court found in its decision ruling that HK USA was the Debtor's alter ego, provision of these funds was arranged within the space of a 62-minute recess following the Court's suggestion that HK USA post a bond to secure the Lady May's return to the United States.[83](#page-54-0) The Debtor also used funds of Himalaya International Clearing Limited to purchase a multimillion-dollar luxury vehicle for his son.\n\n![](_page_54_Figure_2.jpeg)\n\nGuo used Berkeley Rowe as his personal address on his proof of claim form.[85](#page-54-2)\n\n83 *Memorandum of Decision and Order Granting Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Second Counterclaim*, ¶¶ 19-20 (Adv.

When asked at his deposition whether, among other things, he controlled Himalaya International Financial Group Limited, whether he was the beneficial owner of Himalaya International Financial Group Limited, and whether all assets of Himalaya International Financial Group Limited were under his control, the Debtor asserted the Fifth Amendment.[87](#page-55-1)\n\n### **B. Rule of Law Entities**\n\n124. The Rule of Law Entities are purported non-profit entities organized in Delaware, each nominally owned by Seven Mission Group LLC, a Delaware LLC that is itself nominally owned by Yvette Wang.\n\n125. In its January 2023 preliminary injunction decision, the Court found that the Rule of Law Foundation was involved in the protests against the Trustee and PAX, and that the Debtor was the leader of the Rule of Law Foundation, which the Court found to be one of a series of entities and organizations that \"serve the purposes of the Debtor, serve as business vehicles for the Debtor, and [whose] members are personally loyal to the Debtor.\"[88](#page-55-2) The Court also found that the Rule of Law Foundation was among the entities that were the Debtor's \"officers, agents, servants, employees, attorneys, and other persons who are in active concert or\n\n 86\n\n87 Debtor's March Depo. at 42:6-18.\n\n88 PI Decision ¶ 7. *See also id.*, at 60 (finding Rule of Law Foundation to be \"under the leadership of the Debtor\").\n\n## Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 57 of 135\n\nparticipation with the Debtor, his officers, his agents, his servants, his employees, and his attorneys.\"[89](#page-56-0)\n\n126.

The Debtor used his counsel at Hodgson Russ LLP to assist him in establishing the Rule of Law Entities. An attorney at Hodgson Russ testified at her deposition that the Rule of Law Entities were created on behalf of the Debtor.\n\n128. The Debtor managed the Rule of Law Entities through his agents. At various times at Rule of Law Society, for example, Yvette Wang served as Director; Daniel Podhaskie served as Managing Director; Karin Maistrello served as President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Director; Jennifer Mercurio served as Secretary, General Counsel, and Director; Ross Heinemeyer served as Director of Finance & Operations; Sarah Wei Lafrenz served as Director, Qidong Xia served as Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Shuai Guo served as Director. Similarly, at various times at Rule of Law Foundation, for example, Yvette Wang served as Director; Daniel Podhaskie served as Managing Director; Max Krasner served as President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Director; Jennifer Mercurio served as General Counsel; Ross Heinemeyer served as Director of Finance & Operations; Melissa Mendez served as Director, Xuebing Wang served as President and Director, and Yongbing Zhang served as Director.\n\n129. The Debtor was responsible for funding the Rule of Law Entities, either by directing funding to the Rule of Law Entities from his other shell companies or by soliciting donations for the Rule of Law Entities from his followers.

ACA Capital Group is a Hong Kong entity whose ultimate nominal owner is William Je through a BVI holding entity called Celestial Tide Limited.\n\n134. The Debtor controlled ACA Capital Group through his agents, in particular his financial agent William Je, who has served as nominal owner of ACA Capital Group. In addition, at various times the Debtor's translator Karin Maistrello served as director of ACA Capital Group and the Debtor's counsel Fiona Yu served as company secretary and in house counsel to ACA Capital Group.\n\n135. ACA Capital Group has used the same Hong Kong address, at 49/F, Bank of China Tower, No. 2 Garden Road, as was used by Leading Shine BVI, Anton Development, China Golden Spring, Eastern Profit, Bravo Luck, and Whitecroft.

ACA Capital Group was also the source of the funds that the Debtor sought to loan to himself, through Golden Spring, pursuant to the DIP loan he proposed in a motion filed with this Court in March 2022, which motion he subsequently withdrew in May 2022 upon deciding to instead consent to the proposed dismissal of his chapter 11 case. The Debtor arranged for these DIP funds to be transferred from ACA Capital Group to an escrow account of Golden Spring's counsel and subsequently returned to ACA Capital Group in connection with the withdrawal of the DIP motion.\n\n### Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 61 of 135\n\n137. The Debtor has also been responsible for funding ACA Capital Group by, among other things, instructing the leaders of his Himalaya Farm organizations to transfer millions of dollars collected from the Debtor's followers to ACA Capital Group. These funds were subsequently dissipated under the Debtor's direction and for the benefit of the Debtor, his family members, and business associates.\n\n138. At the Debtor's deposition in March 2023, when asked whether he had exclusive control over ACA Capital Group and its assets and was the exclusive beneficial owner of ACA Capital Group, the Debtor asserted the Fifth Amendment.

A court order issued in Hong Kong on October 18, 2018 (the \"Hong Kong Restraint Order\") identified China Golden Spring's bank account as \"subject to the effective control\" of the Debtor.\n\n\n\n98 Ex. 2 ¶ 3.a. 99 Yu Yong was another of the Debtor's assistants whom the Debtor used as a nominal owner of entities under his control. Among other things, prior to 2017, Yu Yong served the Debtor as the nominal owner of Ace Decade Limited for the purpose of disguising the Debtor's ownership of that entity from regulators, after which the Debtor arranged for nominal ownership of Ace Decade to be transferred to Yvette Wang. In a ruling issued in November 2022, this Court found that Ace Decade was beneficially owned by the Debtor.\n\n## Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 65 of 135\n\n150. As discussed in the Golden Spring Complaint, China Golden Spring is the parent company of Golden Spring, which this Court found to be the Debtor's alter ego in a default judgment issued on December 4, 2023. Upon information and belief, following the establishment of Golden Spring as the Debtor's \"family office\" entity in 2015, China Golden Spring had no other role than to serve as parent company of Golden Spring and to assist the Debtor to transfer funds to other Debtor shell companies.\n\n151. In May 2023, the Debtor asserted the Fifth Amendment when asked in writing to state that he had control over China Golden Spring.[100](#page-64-0)\n\n#### **ii. K Legacy and London Apartment**\n\n152. K Legacy is an entity organized in the BVI and nominally owned by the Debtor's Son, Qiang Guo.\n\n153. On or about July 4, 2016, K Legacy became the nominal owner of the London Apartment, purchased for the price of approximately £33 million.\n\n154. Upon information and belief, the London Apartment is K Legacy's only asset and K Legacy's only business purpose is to hold title to the London Apartment.\n\n155. The Debtor funded the purchase of the London Apartment\n\n156. The Debtor exercised control and dominion over the London Apartment. The London Apartment was the Debtor's home in London and belonged to the Debtor, not his son or any other member of his family. The Debtor referred to the London Apartment as his London\n\n100 Responses to Certain Questions ¶ 92.\n\n## Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 66 of 135\n\nresidence and had control over the apartment. For example, when in London, the Debtor occupied the master bedroom of the London Apartment and stated on multiple occasions that it was his, describing the London Apartment as \"my apartment\" and stating that he was \"the boss\" at the London Apartment. Among other things, the Debtor kept all documents related to the London Apartment (including the London Apartment purchase contract), reviewed the bills of the London Apartment and chose when and how to pay for the bills, told the staff and security what to do, and entered and left the London Apartment whenever he wished without permission from his son or anyone else. Security staff at the London Apartment obeyed directives from the Debtor and not from his son.\n\n157. In a television interview that aired on November 15, 2017, the Debtor publicly boasted regarding the London Apartment, saying: \"I have the most luxurious apartment in London.\"[101](#page-65-0)\n\n158. The Debtor has used his alter ego shell companies to fund expenses associated with the London Apartment, for example,\n\n159. At the Debtor's deposition in March 2023, when asked whether K Legacy was in fact an entity owned and controlled by him, the Debtor asserted the Fifth Amendment.[102](#page-65-1)\n\n## **iii.

In January 2015, the Debtor became the holder of 50% of the membership interests in Bravo Luck, with his son continuing as nominal holder of the remaining 50%. The Debtor has asserted that this 50% share was returned to his son's nominal ownership in May 2015.\n\n161. Bravo Luck's only purpose was to serve the Debtor as a vehicle for funneling money from his other alter ego entities, in particular to fund the purchase of the Lady May and Sherry Netherland Apartment.\n\nThis Court has issued rulings finding that both of these assets\n\nwere property of the Debtor.[103](#page-66-0)\n\n162. As discussed in more detail in the Bravo Luck complaint, the Debtor represented\n\n(correctly) that Bravo Luck's assets were his assets in connection with submitting his application\n\n103 *See Order Granting Motion Of Chapter 11 Trustee For Estate Of Ho Wan Kwok For Partial Summary Judgment,* ¶ 2 (Adv.

The Debtor also used Bravo Luck as an instrument of his legal strategy to retain control of the Sherry Netherland Apartment. As further discussed in the complaints filed by the Trustee in his consolidated adversary proceedings against Bravo Luck (the \"Bravo Luck Adversary Proceedings\"), Bravo Luck, represented by an attorney who is, upon information and belief, the father-in-law of Aaron Mitchell, filed claims in these chapter 11 cases based on the theory that Genever Holdings LLC held the Sherry Netherland apartment in trust for Bravo Luck's benefit pursuant to a purported trust agreement. The Trustee asserted claims in the Bravo Luck Adversary Proceedings that, among other things, this purported trust agreement was a forgery. Subsequently, a settlement agreement between the Trustee and Bravo Luck approved by this Court's order dated August 30, 2023 established, among other things, that the Trustee owned the Sherry Netherland Apartment as representative of Genever Holdings LLC and Genever Holdings Inc. and that to the extent Bravo Luck or Qiang Guo had any right, title, or interest in the Sherry Netherland Apartment, they relinquished such right, title, or interest and agreed to withdraw all claims related thereto.[104](#page-67-0)\n\n164.

Upon information and belief, William Je and Natasha Qu worked with the Debtor out of this same office space.\n\n168. The Debtor uses Leading Shine BVI to hold title to his residence located at 20-22 South Bay Road in Hong Kong (the \"South Bay Property\").\n\n169. The Debtor used Leading Shine BVI to purchase the South Bay Property in early 2011 for approximately HK\\$ 880,000,000, and with an estimated value in July 2018 of HK \\$2,224,000,000.\n\n170.

The Debtor has on numerous occasions represented that the South Bay Property was his residence, including on the application he submitted to purchase the Sherry Netherland Apartment in 2015, and on the member registries of the Debtor's BVI entities at which he served in formal roles as an equity owner or director. The address was also used by Mei Guo on due diligence forms submitted in connection with BVI entities that were beneficially owned by the Debtor, as alleged in the Bombardier Complaint.\n\n172.

Nominal Ownership of Anton Development was transferred to Mei Guo on the same date, June 27, 2017, that the nominal ownership of Eastern Profit and HK USA were transferred to Mei Guo.\n\n177. Anton Development has used the same Hong Kong address, at 49/F, Bank of China Tower, No. 2 Garden Road, as was used by Bravo Luck, Eastern Profit, China Golden Spring, Leading Shine BVI, ACA Capital Group, and Whitecroft.

Upon information and belief, William Je and Natasha Qu worked with the Debtor out of this same office space.\n\n178. As discussed in greater detail in the adversary complaint in the Bombardier Adversary Proceeding, the Debtor previously used Anton Development to hold title to his Bombardier Jet. Head Win Group Limited (\"Head Win Group\"), a BVI entity owned by the Debtor, transferred title to the Bombardier jet to Anton Development in 2016 for no apparent consideration. Subsequently, in 2018, title to the Bombardier jet was transferred, again for no apparent consideration, to Whitecroft, an entity nominally owned by Mei Guo.\n\n179.

More recently, in 2018, the Debtor used Eastern Profit to enter into a contract with an entity called Strategic Vision US LLC (\"Strategic Vision\") related to the Debtor's purported anti-CCP political activities. The contract required that Eastern Profit pay Strategic Vision \\$1 million, which amount was supplied by ACA Capital Group. In litigation arising from a dispute related to this contract, Eastern Profit was found by Judge Liman of the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York, in his 2021 decision in the case of *Eastern Profit Corp. v.

Lamp Capital\n\n57. 在 Lamp Capital Adversary Proceeding（蓝普资本对抗程序）中，受托人依据本院于 February 1, 2024 作出的缺席判决，获得了有利于其的另一自我和衡平法所有权裁定。[10] 在其起诉书中，[11] 受托人主张，Lamp Capital 由债务人的儿子通过 Infinity Treasury Management Inc.（无限财资管理公司）名义所有，并且该实体除其他事项外，是债务人通过其律师成立、由债务人通过其代理人管理、由债务人提供资金、被债务人用于支付其费用，并与债务人使用相同地址。本院在其裁决备忘录（“Lamp Capital Decision（蓝普资本裁决）”）中除其他事项外说明：\n\n合理的事实审理者可以根据所称事实认定，个人债务人支配并控制了 Lamp Capital（蓝普资本），例如，所称事实表明 Lamp Capital：(a) 由个人债务人成立；(b) 为个人债务人的开支提供资金，包括与提交本申请书以及 Lady May（梅夫人号）和该公寓等资产有关的开支；(c) 由个人债务人的雇员配备人员，包括其雇员 Wang 女士；(d) 与个人债务人关联的其他实体共用办公地址，包括其另我实体 Golden Spring（金泉）和 HK USA（香港美国）；以及 (e) 没有独立的商业目的或资金来源。\n\n10 参见《就 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）遗产的第 11 章受托人针对 Lamp Capital LLC（蓝普资本有限责任公司）及 Infinity Treasury Management Inc.（无限资金管理公司）的起诉书中第一项和第二项请求作出的缺席判决书》¶¶ 2-3（对抗程序案号 23-05023，2024 年 2 月 1 日）[案卷编号 66]（“[在任何时候，Lamp Capital 均为债务人的另我实体。……Lamp Capital 中的所有权权益属于债务人第 11 章破产财产，并应移交和/或交付给受托人。]”）（“Lamp Capital 对抗程序”）。11 受托人在 Lamp Capital 对抗程序中提交的起诉状通过援引并入本文。\n\n合理的事实审理者还可以根据所称事实认定，Lamp Capital 的公司形式导致了欺诈或类似不公，例如，所称事实表明：(f) Lamp Capital 除汇集个人债务人的流动资产外，没有其他商业目的或实际存在；这些资产被抽走以无偿支付其开支；以及 (g) 其间接登记所有人为 Guo 先生，即个人债务人的儿子。\n\n因此，合理的事实审理者可以认定，两项要件均支持准予受托人所请求的救济。\n\n合理的事实审理者还可以从所称事实得出结论，个人债务人为 Lamp Capital 及其资产的衡平法所有人。在本对抗程序中，(1) Lamp Capital 被指称的间接名义所有人为 Guo 先生，即个人债务人的儿子；(2) Lamp Capital 被指称无偿收取资金；(3) Lamp Capital 被指称的目的在于规避个人债务人的债权人；以及 (4) 如上所述，个人债务人被指称支配并控制 Lamp Capital。[12]\n\n58. 法院还解释称，即使 Lamp Capital 等实体设有公司高级职员并制作了公司文件，遵守公司形式要件本身也不能在另我认定中具有决定性，因为该项认定要求审查需要进行整体分析的非决定性因素。[13] 此外，法院指出，从实体抽取资金供个人使用本身即构成无视公司形式要件。[14]\n\niv. Ace Decade（艾斯十年）\n\n59. 法院还于 2022 年 11 月裁定，尽管该实体当时的名义所有人为 Yvette Wang（王雁），Ace Decade 的受益所有权属于债务人。[15] 2023 年 1 月，法院裁定 Yvette Wang 仅为 Ace Decade 的名义代持所有人，且债务人控制并雇用了 Yvette Wang。[16]\n\n12 《准予缺席判决动议并驳回撤销缺席的交叉动议的决定备忘录及命令》，第 31-32 页（对抗程序案号 23-05023，2024 年 2 月 1 日）[案卷编号 63]（省略内部引证）。13 同上，第 25 页。\n\n14 同上。15 《关于部分解决受托人藐视法庭动议的命令》¶ 1 [主案案卷编号 1110]。\n\n16 参见《准予认定债务人违反公司治理命令之藐视法庭动议的命令》（“公司治理藐视法庭命令”），¶¶ 3-4 [主案案卷编号 1372]。此后，受托人获悉，在 Ace Decade 程序进行期间（但在法院于 2022 年 11 月裁定债务人独占地享有 Ace Decade 的受益所有权并控制 Ace Decade 之后），Yvette Wang 将其名义持有的 Ace Decade 股票转让给一名位于瑞士、名为 Rui Hao（郝睿）的个人。如受托人在对抗程序案号 23-05028（“Ace Decade 对抗程序”）中提交的起诉状（“Ace Decade 起诉状”）所称，并通过援引并入本文，被告 Hao 是 Tian Hao（郝天）的兄弟；Tian Hao 是债务人控制的多个实体的高级职员，包括 G Fashion (CA)（G 时尚（加利福尼亚））的首席财务官兼董事，以及 G Music（G 音乐）的首席执行官。\n\n案件 22-50073 文件 2898 提交于 02/15/24 录入于 02/15/24 14:29:56 第 24 页，共 135 页\n\nB. 关于空壳公司的待决诉讼\n\n60. 受托人还就债务人的若干其他仍在待决中的空壳公司提起对抗程序，请求作出另我/衡平法所有权认定。受托人就这些空壳公司提出了由大量证据支持的主张，这些主张符合上述法院裁定所依据的同一事实模式，且源于债务人为向债权人隐匿其资产而惯常设立由他人名义持有的空壳公司的模式和做法。其中，这些实体均由债务人的家庭成员或雇员名义持有，由债务人的代理人配备人员，由债务人提供资金，由债务人用于支付其开支，与债务人共用地址，并持有债务人资产的所有权。\n\n61. 受托人主张，Greenwich Land（格林威治土地）虽名义上由债务人的妻子所有，但由债务人的雇员管理，与其他债务人空壳公司使用同一地址，其交易由债务人策划并控制，由其他债务人空壳公司提供资金，其财产被用作债务人的住所，并支付债务人的开支。在 Greenwich Land 对抗程序中，受托人请求对 Greenwich Land 作出另我及衡平法所有权认定；就此，法院针对 Greenwich Land 及债务人的妻子作出了判决前救济和临时限制令。[18]\n\n17 Greenwich Land 是对抗程序案号 23-05005（“Greenwich Land 对抗程序”）的标的。受托人在 Greenwich Land 对抗程序中提交的起诉状通过援引并入本文。\n\n18 受托人在 Greenwich Land 对抗程序中请求对 Greenwich Land 作出另我判决；就此，法院针对 Greenwich Land 及债务人的妻子作出了判决前救济和临时限制令。参见《部分准予单方临时限制令及初步禁令动议的命令》（对抗程序案号 23-05005，2023 年 3 月 28 日）[案卷编号 14]；《准予第 11 章受托人经修订的单方判决前救济申请的命令》（对抗程序案号 23-05005，2023 年 3 月 28 日）[案卷编号 15]。法院于 2024 年 1 月 9 日在 Greenwich Land 对抗程序中听取了简易判决的辩论。\n\n62. 受托人主张，Whitecroft（怀特克罗夫特）虽名义上由 Mei Guo（郭美）所有，但使用债务人及其他债务人关联个人和实体所使用的地址，从未从事除持有债务人的 Bombardier（庞巴迪）喷气机所有权以外的任何业务，且除该庞巴迪喷气机外从未拥有任何重大资产；该喷气机由其先前所有人 Anton Development（安东开发公司）（其本身名义上由 Mei Guo 所有）无偿转让给 Whitecroft。在 Bombardier 对抗程序中，受托人除其他事项外，请求裁定名义上由 Mei Guo 所有的 Whitecroft 及其他九个英属维尔京群岛实体[20]实际上由债务人享有衡平法所有权。\n\n63. Leading Shine NY（领耀纽约）在 Lamp Capital 对抗程序中被列为被告。[21] 受托人主张，名义上由债务人女儿所有的 Leading Shine NY，除其他事项外，由债务人通过其代理人管理，由债务人提供资金，由债务人用于向其他债务人控制的空壳公司转移资金，由债务人用于支付其开支，并在其他债务人空壳公司所使用的同一地址经营。\n\n64. Hudson Diamond NY（哈德逊钻石纽约）在 Lamp Capital 对抗程序中被列为被告。受托人主张，Hudson Diamond NY 通过 Hudson Diamond Holding LLC（哈德逊钻石控股有限责任公司）名义上由债务人的女儿所有，除其他事项外，由债务人通过其律师成立，由债务人通过其代理人管理，由债务人提供资金，由债务人用于其房地产交易，由债务人用于向其他债务人控制的空壳公司及家庭成员转移资金，并在其他债务人空壳公司所使用的同一地址经营。[22]\n\n19 Whitecroft 是对抗程序案号 23-05008（“Bombardier 对抗程序”）的标的。受托人在 Bombardier 对抗程序中提交的起诉状通过援引并入本文。Bombardier 对抗程序中的简易判决辩论于 2024 年 2 月 5 日举行。\n\n20 这些实体为：Allied Capital Global Limited（联合资本环球有限公司）、Creative Apex Investments Limited（创意顶峰投资有限公司）、Crystal Breeze Investments Limited（水晶微风投资有限公司）、Elite Well Global Limited（精英环球有限公司）、Globalist International Limited（环球主义者国际有限公司）、Infinite Increase Limited（无限增长有限公司）、Infinitum Developments Limited（无限发展有限公司）、Noble Fame Global Limited（贵族名望环球有限公司）及 Rosy Acme Ventures Limited（玫瑰顶点创投有限公司）。\n\n21 在 Lamp Capital 对抗程序中，法院于 2023 年 12 月 14 日就 Leading Shine NY 作出缺席登记，且各方已完成就 Leading Shine NY 撤销缺席动议的书面陈述。\n\n案件 22-50073 文件 2898 提交于 02/15/24 录入于 02/15/24 14:29:56 第 26 页，共 135 页\n\n65. 受托人主张，HCHK Entities（HCHK 实体）[23]由债务人的雇员配备人员并名义持有，[24]系 Gettr USA, Inc.（Gettr 美国公司）、GTV、G Club（G 俱乐部）、G Fashion（G 时尚）及 G Music（G 音乐）的关联方（法院已认定后述实体由债务人控制或作为债务人的商业工具），支付债务人的开支，并由债务人提供资金。在 HCHK 对抗程序中，受托人请求就 HCHK 实体作出另我及衡平法所有权认定；就此，法院于 2023 年 6 月作出了临时限制令。[25] 法院于 2023 年 9 月 29 日作出缺席登记，并于 2024 年 1 月 9 日就部分被告撤销缺席的动议听取了辩论。\n\n66. 受托人主张，Taurus Fund（金牛基金）由债务人的司机兼保镖管理，未遵守公司形式要件，并持有 Mahwah Mansion（马瓦庄园）的所有权；该庄园系以债务人控制的资金购置，并由债务人作为其住所使用。在\n\n22 各方已完成就 Hudson Diamond NY 驳回动议的书面陈述，该动议的听证会定于 2024 年 3 月举行。\n\n23 HCHK 实体是对抗程序案号 23-05013（“HCHK 对抗程序”）的标的。受托人在 HCHK 对抗程序中提交的起诉状通过援引并入本文。24 每个 HCHK 实体均名义上由以下主体所有：(a) 一家英属维尔京群岛（“BVI”）实体的 99.9999%，该实体名义上由债务人的私人助理 Yvette Wang 所有；以及 (b) 债务人雇员 Anthony DiBattista（安东尼·迪巴蒂斯塔）的 0.0001%。\n\n25 参见《部分准予紧急单方临时限制令及初步禁令命令动议的命令》（对抗程序案号 23-05013，2023 年 6 月 12 日）[案卷编号 18]。\n\n26 Taurus Fund 据称由债务人的保镖兼司机 Scott Barnett（斯科特·巴尼特）管理，债务人曾利用该基金持有 Mahwah Mansion 的所有权，且该基金是对抗程序案号 23-05017（“Mahwah Mansion 对抗程序”）的标的。受托人在 Mahwah Mansion 对抗程序中提交的起诉状通过援引并入本文。\n\n案件 22-50073 文件 2898 提交于 02/15/24 录入于 02/15/24 14:29:56 第 27 页，共 135 页\n\n在 Mahwah Mansion 对抗程序中，受托人就 Taurus Fund（金牛基金）寻求了另我人格及衡平所有权认定；就此，本院于 August 24, 2023 作出了初步禁令命令。[27]\n\nC. 债务人空壳公司的范围\n\n67. 债务人在过去十年中一直设立空壳公司，以隐匿和转移其资产。债务人通过 Alfa Global（阿尔法全球）、Alfonso Global（阿方索全球）、Eastern Profit（东方利润）、Anton Development（安东发展）及 Bravo Luck（好运）等被告在世界各地转移该等资金，并将数亿美元用于购买 Lady May（“五月女士”号）、Sherry Netherland Apartment（Sherry Netherland 公寓）及 London Apartment（伦敦公寓）等个人资产。\n\n68. 受托人将在即将提交的 RICO 起诉状中具体指称，债务人设立并管理了一个复杂的犯罪企业，与（其中包括）债务人实体及其名义所有人共谋并共同实施下列行为，故意：(i) 将该等实体作为从事犯罪活动以使债务人获利的手段；以及 (ii) 以隐匿债务人不当取得的资产、使其债权人无法发现的方式实施该等行为。债务人利用这些空壳公司实施其计划，同时隐匿持有和管理其资产的实体的所有权及控制权标志，是债务人企业的基石支柱。本起诉状所涉债务人实体均由债务人设立，作为逃避其对债权人义务之计划的一部分。\n\n69. 根据美国政府就 FBI 于 March 15, 2023 逮捕债务人所作的起诉书，在 2020 至 2023 期间，债务人及其共同被告 William Je（威廉·杰）和 Yvette Wang（王燕平）“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”，对欺诈所得进行洗钱。[28] 美国政府日期为 January 3, 2024 的最新替代起诉书（以下简称“替代起诉书”）补充称：“该欺诈计划所得的数亿美元，被直接或间接转入美国、巴哈马、瑞士和阿拉伯联合酋长国（‘UAE’）等地的银行账户。”[29]\n\n27 见部分准许初步禁令动议的决定备忘录及命令（Adv. Proc. No. 23-05017, Aug. 24, 2023）[Docket No. 47]。\n\nCase 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 28 of 135\n\n70. 与 RICO 起诉状相似，替代起诉书尤其指称，债务人及其共同被告设立并维持了若干“相互关联且重叠的实体”，构成“Kwok Enterprise（郭氏企业）”；该企业“获取欺诈所得，对该等所得进行洗钱，将欺诈所得用于购买昂贵及奢侈物品、车辆和财产，以使 KWOK（郭）及其家人受益，利用欺诈所得促进郭氏企业，并利用欺诈所得运营和管理郭氏企业。”[30] 根据替代起诉书，构成郭氏企业的实体包括但不限于：受托人此前曾就其寻求（且在某些情况下获得）另我人格及衡平所有权认定的实体[31]，以及如下文进一步论述的、本起诉状所涉众多债务人实体。\n\n71. 替代起诉书还讨论了债务人及其共同谋划人实施的具体欺诈计划，而本起诉状所涉的某些债务人实体深度参与了该等计划。这些计划包括：(i) 于 April 至 June of 2020 期间实施的 GTV Private Placement（定义见下文）；(ii) Farm Loan Program（定义见替代起诉书），即向债务人的追随者招揽额外资金，形式上为所谓贷款，据称以换取 GTV 股票，并向债务人支持者组织的领导人设立的实体提供；该等组织被称为“Himalaya Farms”；(iii) 出售债务人所谓会员俱乐部 G Club（G 俱乐部）的会员资格，同样基于如下陈述：购买 G Club 会员资格将使购买人有权获得债务人 GTV 或 G Fashion Entities（G 时尚实体）的股票；以及 (iv) Himalaya Exchange（喜马拉雅交易所）出售所谓 Himalaya Coin（喜马拉雅币）和 Himalaya Dollar（喜马拉雅元）加密货币。\n\n72. 就上述每一计划，如下文进一步论述，债务人利用其庞大的线上平台及追随者，从其追随者处筹集数亿美元资金。债务人将该等资金指向债务人实体，随后将该等资金用于多项奢侈的个人开支。\n\nD. 关键个人\n\n73. 债务人通过一批家庭成员、雇员及忠诚的亲信经营其空壳公司；这些人接受债务人的指示，并作为债务人的代理人代表其行事。就债务人实体而言，这些个人依照债务人的指示和要求行事，承认其为家族首脑、“老板”、“主事人”，或 NFSC/Himalaya Global Alliance（新联邦国家/喜马拉雅全球联盟）的首脑（本院认定其成员在个人层面对债务人忠诚）。这些个人代表债务人担任其各种空壳公司的名义所有人、获授权签字人、董事、高管和关键雇员等职务，并在下文按若干类别加以讨论。\n\na. 债务人的子女。债务人长期以来一直将空壳公司置于其子女名下。\n\ni. Mei Guo（郭美）是债务人的女儿。如本案及受托人此前提交的起诉状所指称，Mei Guo 曾作为债务人众多空壳公司的名义最终所有人，为债务人服务。由 Mei Guo 名义所有的实体之一是 HK USA（香港美国公司），本院认定其为债务人的另我人格。基于信息和信念，Mei Guo 从未在债务人的空壳公司之外从事有报酬的工作，且除债务人外没有其他财富来源。在债务人 March 2023 的证言录取中，当被问及所有以 Mei Guo 名义持有的资产是否实际上均为其破产财产资产时，债务人援引了第五修正案。[32]\n\nii. Qiang (“Mileson”) Guo（郭强，“迈尔森”）是债务人的儿子。在与本起诉状相关的期间内，Qiang Guo 居住于英国和美国。如本案及受托人此前提交的起诉状所指称，Qiang Guo 曾作为债务人众多空壳公司的名义最终所有人，为债务人服务。基于信息和信念，Qiang Guo 从未在债务人的空壳公司之外从事有报酬的工作，且除债务人外没有其他财富来源。在债务人 March 2023 的证言录取中，当被问及所有以 Qiang Guo 名义持有的资产是否实际上均为其破产财产资产时，债务人援引了第五修正案。[33]\n\nb. 核心圈子。少数身居要职的个人是债务人经营其空壳公司的关键代理人。\n\ni. William Je（威廉·杰）是债务人的代理人，尤其负责债务人的资金，并且是债务人在其刑事案件中的共同被告。在与本起诉状相关的期间内，William Je 主要居住于英国（但基于信息和信念，其定期前往美国），现被认为位于 UAE。根据美国政府的说法，William Je 是债务人企业的“关键洗钱者”。[34] 此外：\n\nWilliam Je 长期代表债务人行事，至少可追溯至债务人抵达美国之前的期间。基于信息和信念，William Je 至少早在 2014 年即担任债务人金融交易的代理人，当时 William Je 在香港 Macquarie Capital Securities Limited（麦格理资本证券有限公司）任职，甚至可能更早。Mei Guo 称 William Je 为“威廉叔叔”，并证称他是一位亲密的家庭朋友。[35]\n\n32 见 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）Dep. Tr., at 47:14-18, March 2, 2023（以下简称“债务人 March 证言录取”），作为 Exhibit 13 附于 Lamp Capital（兰普资本）对抗程序中的对抗起诉状。\n\n33 同上，at 47:10-13。\n\n34 见 Ex. 2 ¶ 10。另一般性参见 RICO 起诉状。\n\n35 Mei Guo Dep. Tr., at 188:8-19, Jan. 20, 2023，作为 Exhibit 8 附于 Bombardier（庞巴迪）对抗程序中的对抗起诉状。\n\nWilliam Je 曾将债务人位于香港 162 E. 64th Street 和 20 South Bay Road 的地址作为其本人地址。基于信息和信念，William Je 还与债务人及 Natasha Qu（曲娜）在香港 No. 2 Garden Road, Bank of China Tower（中国银行大厦）49/F 共用办公室。\n\nWilliam Je 于 2018 年协助债务人为其家人在美国寻找拟购置的房地产。\n\n观察债务人与 William Je 关系的、为债务人工作的律师了解到，William Je 为债务人工作。\n\n在债务人 March 2023 的证言录取中，债务人尤其被问及：(i) William Je 是否就债务人的商业交易担任债务人的代理人；(ii) William Je 就商业交易采取的任何行动是否均系依债务人的指示采取；(iii) 就债务人与 William Je 参与的任何商业交易而言，William Je 是否受债务人控制；(iv) 任何表面上受 William Je 控制的资产是否实际为受债务人控制的资产；及 (v) 任何表面上受 William Je 控制的实体是否实际为受债务人控制的实体。[36] 对每一问题，债务人均援引了第五修正案。May 2023，债务人在被书面要求说明其对 William Je 具有控制权时，再次援引了第五修正案。[37]\n\nWilliam Je 协助债务人转移 \\$37 million，以就 Lady May 返回美国一事存入监管账户；William Je 代表所谓贷款人 Himalaya International Financial Group Limited（喜马拉雅国际金融集团有限公司）与 HK USA 签署了所谓贷款协议。\n\n在 Southern District of New York（纽约南区）Liman 法官审理的、与债务人 Eastern Profit 空壳公司有关的先前诉讼中，2021 年的庭审证言显示，债务人曾将 Je 先生称为“我的资金主管”。[38] 在该庭审中，债务人还援引了第五\n\n36 债务人 March 证言录取 at 40-41。37 债务人就特定问题答复所作的宣誓声明，¶ 50，dated May 11, 2023（以下简称“对若干问题的答复”），作为 Exhibit 1 附于 HCHK 对抗程序中的对抗起诉状。38 见 Trial Tr. at 774:24-775:1, Eastern Profit Corp.

Proc. No. 22-05003, Docket No. 36]（以下简称“HK USA 反诉”）。\n\n在被问及 William Je 时，多次援引第五修正案。[39] 在就该争议实体问题作出裁决时，Liman 法官认定，除其他事项外，由 William Je 代表 ACA Capital Group 签署的 Eastern Profit 与 ACA Capital Group 之间所谓的贷款协议，事实上是一项赠与。[40]\n\n(ii) Yvette Wang 是债务人的助理及代理人。本院已裁定：“[债务人]对 Wang 女士具有控制权”，且其“已雇用 Yvette Wang 数年，并曾指示其代表自己采取行动……”。[41] Wang 女士曾以多种身份为债务人服务，包括担任 Golden Spring、Hudson Diamond Holding LLC、Hudson Diamond NY、Leading Shine NY、Saraca、GTV Media Group, Inc.、Genever Holdings LLC 和 G Club Operations 的高级职员及获授权签字人。Wang 女士在债务人的刑事案件中与债务人同为共同被告。根据 U.S. Government（美国政府）的说法，Wang 女士作为债务人“受信赖的办公厅主任，负责管理甚至与其没有正式关联的实体的运营”，在债务人的欺诈计划中发挥了“关键作用”。[42] 在其宣誓证言中被问及 Wang 女士是否是其雇员时，债务人援引其反对自证其罪的第五修正案权利。[43] 2023年5月，在被书面要求陈述其对 Yvette Wang 具有控制权时，债务人再次援引第五修正案。[44]\n\n(iii) 据认为，Haoran He 是一名居住在英国的所谓房地产开发商，如下文所述，其为债务人的众多 G Entities 担任名义所有人。根据所知所信，Haoran He 是债务人的挂名人，债务人特意选定其作为这些实体的名义所有人，以避免若将这些实体置于债务人或其家庭成员名下将会引起的监管及其他审查。根据所知所信，Haoran He 按照债务人的指示行事，债务人直接或通过其儿子及 Yvette Wang 与 Haoran He 通信。除其他事项外：\n\n39 参见同上，第691:24-25页（“问：William Je 是谁？答：第五修正案。”）；同上，第692:24-693:1页（问：“而且，[Je 先生]会在您要求他这样做时向各处汇款，不是吗？答：第五修正案。我援引第五修正案。”）；同上，第695:5-7页（“而且，您曾向亲密伙伴介绍 William Je 是您的资金管家，不是吗？答：第五修正案。”）。\n\n40 参见 Eastern Profit Corp.

Himalaya Exchange实体\n\n116. Himalaya Exchange实体由Himalaya International Financial Group Limited、Himalaya International Reserves Limited、Himalayan International Payments Limited和Himalaya International Clearing Limited组成，前述各实体均在英属维尔京群岛组织成立；还包括在澳大利亚组织成立的Himalaya Currency Clearing Pty Ltd.。Himalaya Exchange各实体名义上的最终所有人为William Je，后者通过一系列空壳公司持有该等实体。\n\n117. 债务人通过其名义所有人、债务人的财务代理人William Je控制Himalaya Exchange实体；William Je继而利用驻英国、同时受雇于Hamilton实体（另一组名义上由William Je拥有、但实际上由债务人享有实益所有权的实体）的人员协助运营Himalaya Exchange实体。据悉并相信，这些人员是William Je的下属，接受William Je的指示（并通过William Je接受债务人的指示），并担任Himalaya实体和Hamilton实体的高级管理人员及董事。该等人员包括David Fallon；在Mahwah Mansion对抗程序的一次听证中，Taurus Fund的律师声称，David Fallon曾就代理Taurus Fund事宜向其作出指示。据悉并相信，Himalaya Exchange实体和Hamilton实体作为一项业务运营。\n\n118. Himalaya Exchange实体运营Himalaya Exchange，即债务人所谓的加密货币“生态系统”；债务人通过该系统招揽其追随者购买所谓加密货币——H Dollar和H Coin。自至少约2021年4月起，债务人积极推广这些所谓加密货币，包括在其广为人知的“H Coin to the Moon”音乐视频中，以及在直播中；在该等直播中，除其他事项外，其告知\n\nCase 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 54 of 135\n\n其追随者称，他将亲自赔偿任何因投资 H Coin（H币）而遭受损失的人。据 U.S. Government（美国政府）称，债务人声称设计了 Himalaya Exchange（喜马拉雅交易所）的所谓加密货币；Saraca（萨拉卡）于 2020 年 5 月（在 Himalaya Exchange 推出之前）在债务人于 Hodgson Russ LLP（霍奇森·拉斯律师事务所）的律师协助下，通过由 Yvette Wang（伊薇特·王）签署并提交至 State of New York Department of State（纽约州州务院）的备案，将 “Himalaya Coin” 和 “Himalaya Dollar” 登记为其假定名称，这表明该等所谓加密货币源自债务人。\n\n119. 债务人通过向其追随者招揽购买 Himalaya Exchange 的所谓加密货币，负责为 Himalaya Exchange Entities（喜马拉雅交易所实体）提供资金。美国政府尤其指称，债务人与其共同被告通过 Himalaya Exchange 欺诈性取得了超过 $262 million 的受害人资金。就其对债务人的调查而言，美国政府扣押了以 Himalaya International Reserves Limited（喜马拉雅国际储备有限公司）、Himalaya International Clearing Limited（喜马拉雅国际清算有限公司）、Himalaya International Financial Group Limited（喜马拉雅国际金融集团有限公司）和 Himalaya Currency Clearing Pty Ltd（喜马拉雅货币清算私人有限公司）名义持有的银行账户中的数百万美元。\n\n120. 债务人还曾将 Himalaya Exchange Entities 用于其个人利益。尤其是，William Je（威廉·杰）代表债务人并依其指示，安排 Himalaya International Financial Group Limited 向 HK USA（HK美国）的律师 Zeisler & Zeisler（泽斯勒与泽斯勒律师事务所）转移 $37 million（资金来源为 Himalaya International Clearing Limited）；该等资金随后根据关于将 Lady May（梅夫人号）返还美国的协议，被存入托管账户。该等资金的转移据称是依据 Himalaya International Financial Group Limited 与 HK USA 之间、由 William Je 签署的一份贷款协议进行的，\nCase 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 55 of 135\n\n但实际上是由一个债务人控制的实体向另一实体作出的无偿转移。如本院在认定 HK USA 为债务人另我实体的裁决中所认定，在本院建议 HK USA 提供担保以确保 Lady May 返回美国后仅 62 分钟的休庭期间内，即安排提供了该等资金。[83] 债务人还使用 Himalaya International Clearing Limited 的资金，为其儿子购买了一辆价值数百万美元的豪华车辆。\n\nGuo（郭）在其债权申报表中将 Berkeley Rowe（伯克利街）用作其个人地址。[85]\n\n83 准许就第二项反诉作出部分简易判决之动议的裁决备忘录及命令，第 ¶¶ 19-20 段（对抗诉讼案号 22-05003，May 18, 2023）[案卷编号 221]。\n\n84 参见《准许部分并驳回部分关于许可补充 HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited（HK国际基金投资〈美国〉有限公司）及 Mei Guo（郭美）的证人和证物清单之动议的命令》（对抗诉讼案号 22-05003，Mar. 14, 2023）[案卷编号 136]。\n\n85 参见债权申报 3-1，In re Genever Holdings LLC（关于 Genever Holdings LLC），案号 22-50592。\n\n[86]\n\n123. 在其证言录取中被问及其是否控制 Himalaya International Financial Group Limited、是否为 Himalaya International Financial Group Limited 的受益所有人，以及 Himalaya International Financial Group Limited 的全部资产是否均受其控制等问题时，债务人援引了第五修正案。[87]\n\nB. 法治实体\n\n124. Rule of Law Entities（法治实体）是于 Delaware（特拉华州）设立的所谓非营利实体，各实体在名义上均由 Seven Mission Group LLC（七项使命集团有限责任公司）所有；该 Delaware LLC 本身在名义上由 Yvette Wang 所有。\n\n125. 在其 2023 年 1 月关于初步禁令的裁决中，本院认定，Rule of Law Foundation（法治基金会）参与了针对受托人和 PAX 的抗议活动，且债务人是 Rule of Law Foundation 的领导人；本院认定，该基金会是“一系列服务于债务人目的、作为债务人商业工具、且其成员在个人上忠于债务人”的实体和组织之一。[88] 本院还认定，Rule of Law Foundation 属于债务人的“高级职员、代理人、雇员、工作人员、雇员、律师，以及与债务人、其高级职员、其代理人、其工作人员、其雇员和其律师积极共同或\n87 债务人 3 月证言录取，第 42:6-18 页。\n\n88 初步禁令裁决第 ¶ 7 段。另见同上，第 60 页（认定 Rule of Law Foundation“受债务人领导”）。\nCase 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 57 of 135\n\n参与的其他人员。”[89]\n\n126. Rule of Law Entities 与债务人的众多其他实体，包括 Golden Spring（黄金泉）、Greenwich Land（格林尼治地产）、HK USA 和 Saraca 等，均在纽约 162 E. 64th Street 的同一地址运营。\n\n127. 债务人利用其在 Hodgson Russ LLP 的律师协助其设立 Rule of Law Entities。Hodgson Russ 的一名律师在其证言录取中作证称，Rule of Law Entities 是代表债务人设立的。\n\n128. 债务人通过其代理人管理 Rule of Law Entities。例如，在不同期间，Yvette Wang 曾担任 Rule of Law Society（法治协会）的董事；Daniel Podhaskie（丹尼尔·波达斯基）曾担任执行董事；Karin Maistrello（卡琳·迈斯特雷洛）曾担任总裁、秘书、司库及董事；Jennifer Mercurio（珍妮弗·默丘里奥）曾担任秘书、总法律顾问及董事；Ross Heinemeyer（罗斯·海内迈耶）曾担任财务与运营总监；Sarah Wei Lafrenz（莎拉·魏·拉弗伦茨）曾担任董事；Qidong Xia（夏启东）曾担任董事会主席；Shuai Guo（郭帅）曾担任董事。同样，例如，在不同期间，Yvette Wang 曾担任 Rule of Law Foundation 的董事；Daniel Podhaskie 曾担任执行董事；Max Krasner（马克斯·克拉斯纳）曾担任总裁、秘书、司库及董事；Jennifer Mercurio 曾担任总法律顾问；Ross Heinemeyer 曾担任财务与运营总监；Melissa Mendez（梅利莎·门德斯）曾担任董事；Xuebing Wang（王学兵）曾担任总裁及董事；Yongbing Zhang（张永兵）曾担任董事。\n\n129. 债务人负责为 Rule of Law Entities 提供资金，方式包括指示其其他空壳公司向 Rule of Law Entities 提供资金，或向其追随者募捐以资助 Rule of Law Entities。据所知及所信，\n89 初步禁令裁决，第 60-61 页。\nCase 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 58 of 135\n\n债务人通过告知其追随者，他们必须向 Rule of Law Entities 捐款方能参与债务人控制的其他投资计划，鼓励其追随者向 Rule of Law Entities 捐款。\n\n130.\n\n相关地，本院认定，在 2022 年 11 月 21 日的一次网络直播中，债务人告诉其追随者，如其“愚蠢”到收到根据 Rule 2004 发出的传票，Himalaya Global Alliance（喜马拉雅全球联盟）和 Rule of Law Foundation 将聘请律师协助其对传票提出异议。92 本院还认定，债务人告诉其追随者，Rule of Law Foundation 支持其法律行动和抗议活动。93\n\n90 本院认定，Beile Li（李蓓蕾）属于参与抗议活动的人员之一，初步禁令裁决第 ¶ 15 段，且系债务人的朋友、雇员、工作人员、关联人士、追随者及同事。同上，第 ¶ 14 段。\n\n91 本院认定，Jiao Bing Shang（尚焦冰）曾在与初步禁令裁决有关的听证会上为债务人作证，且为 Himalaya New World Inc.（喜马拉雅新世界公司）的总裁，并且“Himalaya New World, Inc. 还协助人们购买 G-Club。”初步禁令裁决，第 ¶ 5 段。92 同上，第 ¶ 44 段。93 同上，第 ¶ 49 段。\nCase 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 59 of 135\n\n131. 2023 年 5 月，债务人在被书面要求说明其对 Rule of Law Entities 具有控制权时，援引了第五修正案。[94]\n\n132. 在 Superseding Indictment（替代起诉书）中，美国政府指称，Rule of Law Entities 属于“构成 Kwok Enterprise（郭氏企业）的相互关联且相互重叠的实体”。[95]\n\nC. 资金实体\n\ni.

Maistrello）之前，是 Alfa Global 的名义所有人。自2018年起，债务人通过卡琳·梅斯特雷洛控制 Alfa Global。\n\nii.\n\niii. 香港限制令认定 Alfa Global 的银行账户受债务人控制。\n\niv. 债务人就其是否控制 Alfa Global 一事援引第五修正案。\n\n413. 根据英属维尔京群岛法律，该等事实及情形足以得出结论：(a) 卡琳·梅斯特雷洛在所有相关期间仅为名义持有人或“裸受托人”，应视为仅为债务人的利益持有 Alfa Global 中的所有权权益的法定所有权；且 (b) Alfa Global 在所有相关期间仅为名义持有人或“裸受托人”，应视为仅为债务人的利益持有以其名义持有的资产中的所有权权益的法定所有权。\n\n414. 在所有相关期间，债务人对一名或多名债权人负有债务。该等债权人本可行使其自身权利，寻求受托人在本案中所请求的救济。\n\n415. 因此，受托人根据《破产法》第541、542及544条请求作出裁定：(1) 宣告 Alfa Global 及其资产在所有相关期间均为债务人或债务人的第11章破产财产（视具体情况而定）；以及 (2) 命令将该等资产、Alfa Global 中的所有权权益及一切相关公司控制权利交付给受托人。\n\n第四十三项请求\n确认债务人为 Alfonso Global（阿方索环球）及其资产的实际受益所有人，并命令向受托人交付 Alfonso Global 的所有权及资产\n\n416. 受托人重申并再次主张第1-193段所载的指控。\n\n417. 本文所述事实表明，债务人在所有相关期间始终控制 Alfonso Global。\n\n418. 其中包括：\n\ni. 2016年之前，债务人通过其亲属张伟（Zhang Wei）控制 Alfonso Global。张伟在2016年将 Alfonso Global 的名义所有权无明显对价转让给 Next Tycoon Investments Limited（Next Tycoon Investments Limited公司）之前，是 Alfonso Global 的名义所有人；该实体受债务人控制。自2016年起，债务人通过 Next Tycoon Investments Limited 控制 Alfonso Global，且自2018年起，债务人的雇员马克斯·克拉斯纳（Max Krasner）一直担任 Alfonso Global 的唯一董事。\n\nii.\n\niii. 香港限制令认定 Alfonso Global 的银行账户受债务人控制。\n\niv. 债务人就其是否控制 Alfonso Global 一事援引第五修正案。\n\n419. 根据英属维尔京群岛法律，该等事实及情形足以得出结论：\n\n(a) Next Tycoon Investments Limited（泰康投资有限公司）在所有相关期间一直仅为一名名义持有人或“裸受托人”，被视为仅为债务人的利益而持有 Alfonso Global（阿方索环球）的所有权权益之法定所有权；且 (b) Alfonso Global 在所有相关期间一直仅为一名名义持有人或“裸受托人”，被视为仅为债务人的利益而持有以其名义持有的资产之法定所有权。\n\n420. 在所有相关期间，债务人对一名或多名债权人负有债务。该等债权人本可行使其权利，寻求受托人在本案中所请求的救济。\n\n421. 因此，受托人请求法院依据《破产法》第 541、542 和 544 条作出裁定：(1) 宣告 Alfonso Global 及其资产在所有相关期间均为且一直为债务人或债务人第 11 章破产财产的财产（视情况而定）；以及 (2) 命令将该等资产、Alfonso Global 的所有权权益及一切相关公司控制权交付受托人。\n\n救济请求\n\n因此，基于上述理由，受托人谨请求法院作出如下判决：\n\n1. 就第一项请求，依据《破产法》第
