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\nx\n\nx\n\nx\n\n-----------------------------------------------------------\n\nIn re:\n\nChapter 11\n\nHO WAN KWOK, *et al*.,1\n\nDebtors.\n\nCase No. 22-50073 (JAM)\n\n(Jointly Administered)\n\n-----------------------------------------------------------\n\nLUC A.

(\"Himalaya\"), transferred funds prior to the Petition Date (as defined herein) in the following aggregate amounts to the Defendants as initial transferees:\n\n- \\$2,000,000 to Defendant Weihua Li;\n- \\$502,497.04 to Defendant Junjie Jiang;\n- \\$315,000 to Defendant Rongrong Li;\n- \\$207,394.26 to Defendant Zhang Lin;\n- \\$160,000 to Defendant Tian Shu Huang; and\n- \\$62,900 to Defendant Jianxiao Chen.\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\n4. Following the Petition Date, the Debtor, through his alter ego shell company, Himalaya, transferred additional funds in the following aggregate amounts to the Defendants as initial transferees:\n\n- \\$199,800 to Defendant Mi Kyung Yang;\n- \\$199,800 to Defendant Xue Wang;\n- \\$199,400 to Defendant Yaping Zhang;\n- \\$198,987.15 to Defendant Zhixuan Li;\n- \\$178,880 to Defendant Fanggui Zhu;\n- \\$169,400 to Defendant Yuechen Lan;\n- \\$149,800 to Defendant Shiying Li;\n- \\$119,900 to Defendants Cameron and Roger Smee; and\n- \\$55,292.35 to Defendant Jianxiao Chen.\n\n5. Because these postpetition transfers of estate property were not authorized by the Court or under the Bankruptcy Code, they are subject to avoidance and recovery under sections 549 and 550 of the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n#### **JURISDICTION AND VENUE**\n\n6.

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\n25. 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\n26. 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.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 Himalaya.\n\n27. On June 15, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court entered a memorandum of decision and order [Main Case Docket No. 465] directing the United States Trustee to appoint a chapter 11 trustee in the Chapter 11 Case. Pursuant to this order, the United States Trustee selected Luc A. Despins as the Trustee. On July 8, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order granting the appointment of Luc A. Despins as the Trustee in the Chapter 11 Case [Main Case Docket No. 523].\n\n#### **B. Debtor's Use of Shell Companies and Trustee's Adversary Proceedings**\n\n28. Himalaya is among the numerous alter ego shell companies used by the Debtor to hinder, delay, and/or defraud his creditors.4 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\n<sup>3</sup> Schedule of Assets and Liabilities, at 1 [Main Case Docket No. 78].\n\n<sup>4</sup> The Trustee has or will imminently commence an adversary proceeding against Himalaya International Clearing Ltd, which adversary proceeding seeks, among other things, a declaratory judgment that Himalaya International Clearing Ltd is the alter ego of the Debtor. The Trustee incorporates by reference herein, the Trustee's Complaint filed in such adversary proceeding.\n\n29. 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 adversary proceedings, the Bankruptcy Court has already granted such relief.5\n\n30. The fact patterns in these litigations consistently involve: (i) Debtor-controlled shell companies held by close family members and/or subordinates, (ii) assets purchased with cash from other Debtor-controlled entities and/or transferred to and among shell entities for no consideration, and (iii) the Debtor benefiting from and having control and dominion over such assets.\n\n#### **C. Debtor's Conduct to Hinder, Delay, and/or Defraud Creditors**\n\n31. 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\n\n32. The Bankruptcy Court has also found that the \"G Entities\" (Gettr, G Fashion, G Music, GClubs, GNews and GEdu), the New Federal State of China and the Rule of Law Foundation, as well as other purportedly independent entities and organizations, were controlled\n\n<sup>5</sup> These include the following adversary proceedings: (i) *Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC, et al.* [Adv. Proc. No. 22-05003]; (ii) *Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Greenwich Land LLC, et al.* [Adv.

Proc. 23-05023].\n\n<sup>6</sup> Order Granting Motion to Hold Debtor in Contempt of Corporate Governance Order, ¶¶ 1, 4 (Jan. 24, 2023, Docket No. 1372 (\"Corp. Governance Contempt Order\").\n\nby the Debtor<sup>7</sup> , led by the Debtor8 and/or served \"the purposes of… and as business vehicles of\" the Debtor.9\n\n33. 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\n\n34. The Debtor has gone to great lengths to hinder and delay the collection efforts of one of his largest creditors, *i.e.*, Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund, L.P. (\"PAX\"). In 2017, PAX sued the Debtor in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (the \"New York Court\"), Index No. 652077/2017 (the \"PAX Case\"), seeking judgment for monies owed. On February 3, 2021, PAX obtained a judgment from the New York Court against the Debtor in the sum of \\$116,402,019.57 (the \"PAX Judgment\"). PAX sought to enforce the PAX Judgment by levying the Debtor's assets—including the Lady May, which the Debtor falsely claimed was owned by his daughter, and the Debtor's luxury apartment in Manhattan, which the Debtor falsely claimed was held in trust for the Debtor's son. The Debtor's defiance of New York Court orders in postjudgment proceedings eventually resulted in the Debtor incurring contempt penalties of \\$134 million.\n\n 7 *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\n<sup>8</sup> *Id*. at ¶ 7 (\"The Debtor is the leader of The Whistleblower Movement, NFSC, ROLF and Himalaya.\").\n\n<sup>9</sup> *Id*. (\"The Whistleblower Movement, NFSC, ROLF, GSeries, and Himalaya serve the purposes of the Debtor, serve as business vehicles for the Debtor, and their members are personally loyal to the Debtor.\").\n\n<sup>10</sup> *Eastern Profit Corp. Ltd. v. Strategic Vision US LLC*, No. 18-CV-2185 (LJL) 2021 WL 2554631, at \\*1 (S.D.N.Y. June 22, 2021).\n\n35. The Debtor also used his alter egos, including Himalaya, as personal piggy-banks, funding the lavish lifestyle to which he and his family had become accustomed, while concealing assets in these alter egos from his creditors and hindering and delaying creditors from recoveries on their claims. The transfers that the Debtor effectuated through these alter egos perpetuated the Debtor's fraudulent scheme.\n\n36. 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 The Debtor scheduled only \\$3,850 in assets.12\n\n37. 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\n38. 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\n\n39. The property of the Debtor's alter egos, including Himalaya, was at all times prior to the Petition Date property of the Debtor.\n\n 11 Hearing on Debtor's Motion for Entry of Interim and Final DIP Orders (I) Authorizing the Debtor to Obtain Unsecured, Subordinated Postpetition Financing and (II) Scheduling Interim and Final Hearings, and (III) Granting Related Relief (Main Case, April 27, 2022)\n\n<sup>12</sup> *See* n.3\n\n<sup>13</sup> *See* Memorandum of Law of the United States of America in Opposition to Defendant Yanping Wang's Motion for Pretrial Release at 29, attached as Exhibit B in the Reply of Chapter 11 Trustee to G Club Operations LLC's Supplemental Objection to Trustee's Motion to Compel and Request for Related Relief (June 23, 2023, Main Case Docket No. 1934).\n\n40. At all times relevant herein, the Debtor conducted business in New York, New York, including direction of the prepetition transfers at issue in this Complaint.\n\n#### **D. Debtor's Shell Game and Fraud Continues Postpetition**\n\n41. As of the Petition Date, all of the Debtor's property held through his alter egos, including Himalaya, became property of the chapter 11 estate. *See* 11 U.S.C. § 541(a)(1).\n\n42. Following the Petition Date, the Debtor, with blatant disregard for the Bankruptcy Court and his obligations under the Bankruptcy Code, continued to effectuate transfers through numerous alter ego shell companies, including, without limitation, Himalaya.\n\n43. None of these postpetition transfers were authorized by the Bankruptcy Court nor were such transfers authorized under the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n#### **E. Transfers Made with Intent to Hinder, Delay, or Defraud Creditors**\n\n44. 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\n45. 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\n46. The assets concealed and dissipated by the Debtor included funds that he obtained from the victims of his cryptocurrency, securities, and other fraud schemes. As a result of this conduct, the Debtor faces multiple felony fraud, money laundering, and racketeering charges in a criminal case pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. *See United States v. Ho Wan Kwok*, case no. 1:23-cr-00118-AT [ECF No. 215] (Jan. 3, 2024 S.D.N.Y.).\n\n47. The Debtor knew and intended that by concealing and dissipating his assets in this manner there would not be sufficient assets remaining to repay his creditors—including the many victims of his frauds. These transfers were thus necessarily made with the intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud the Debtor's creditors.\n\n#### **F. Transfers to Defendants**\n\n48. Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor, using his alter ego shell company Himalaya, or otherwise, transferred the Debtor's property to Defendant Weihua Li (the \"W. Li Transfers\"), including, without limitation, as follows:\n\nSee **SCHEDULE A** attached hereto and made a part hereof.\n\n49. Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor, using his alter ego shell company Himalaya, or otherwise, transferred the Debtor's property to Defendant Junjie Jiang (the \"Jiang Transfers\"), including, without limitation, as follows:\n\nSee **SCHEDULE B** attached hereto and made a part hereof.\n\n50. Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor, using his alter ego shell company Himalaya, or otherwise, transferred the Debtor's property to Defendant Rongrong Li (the \"R.

Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor, using his alter ego shell company Himalaya, or otherwise, transferred the Debtor's property to Defendant Tian Shu Huang (the \"Huang Transfer\"), including, without limitation, as follows:\n\nSee **SCHEDULE E** attached hereto and made a part hereof.\n\n53. Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor, using his alter ego shell company Himalaya, or otherwise, transferred the Debtor's property to Defendant Chen (the \"Chen Prepetition Transfer,\" and collectively with the W. Li Transfers, Jiang Transfers, R. Li Transfer, Lin Transfer, and Huang Transfer, the \"Prepetition Transfers\"), including, without limitation, as follows:\n\nSee **SCHEDULE F** attached hereto and made a part hereof.\n\n54. Subsequent to the Petition Date, the Debtor, through his shell company, Himalaya, or otherwise, transferred property of the estate to Defendant Mi Kyung Yang (the \"Yang Transfers\"), including, without limitation, as follows:\n\nSee **SCHEDULE G** attached hereto and made a part hereof.\n\n55. Subsequent to the Petition Date, the Debtor, through his shell company, Himalaya, or otherwise, transferred property of the estate to Defendant Xue Wang (the \"Wang Transfers\"), including, without limitation, as follows:\n\nSee **SCHEDULE H** attached hereto and made a part hereof.\n\n56. Subsequent to the Petition Date, the Debtor, through his shell company, Himalaya, or otherwise, transferred property of the estate to Defendant Yaping Zhang (the \"Zhang Transfers\"), including, without limitation, as follows:\n\nSee **SCHEDULE I** attached hereto and made a part hereof.\n\n57.

Subsequent to the Petition Date, the Debtor, through his shell company, Himalaya, or otherwise, transferred property of the estate to Defendant Fanggui Zhu (the \"Zhu Transfers\"), including, without limitation, as follows:\n\nSee **SCHEDULE K** attached hereto and made a part hereof.\n\n59. Subsequent to the Petition Date, the Debtor, through his shell company, Himalaya, or otherwise, transferred property of the estate to Defendant Yuechen Lan (the \"Lan Transfers\"), including, without limitation, as follows:\n\nSee **SCHEDULE L** attached hereto and made a part hereof.\n\n60. Subsequent to the Petition Date, the Debtor, through his shell company, Himalaya, or otherwise, transferred property of the estate to Defendant Shiuing Li (the \"S. Li Transfers\"), including, without limitation, as follows:\n\nSee **SCHEDULE M** attached hereto and made a part hereof.\n\n61. Subsequent to the Petition Date, the Debtor, through his shell company, Himalaya, or otherwise, transferred property of the estate to Defendants Cameron and Roger Smee (the \"Smee Transfers\"), including, without limitation, as follows:\n\nSee **SCHEDULE N** attached hereto and made a part hereof.\n\n62. Subsequent to the Petition Date, the Debtor, through his shell company, Himalaya, or otherwise, transferred property of the estate to Defendant Jianxiao Chen (the \"Chen Postpetition\n\nTransfers,\" and collectively with the Yang Transfers, Wang Transfers, Zhang Transfers, Z. Li\n\nTransfers, Zhu Transfers, Lan Transfers, S. Li Transfers, and the Smee Transfers, the \"Postpetition\n\nTransfers\"), including, without limitation, as follows:\n\nSee **SCHEDULE O** attached hereto and made a part hereof.\n\n63. At the time of the Prepetition Transfers and the Postpetition Transfers (collectively,\n\nthe \"Transfers\"), the Debtor had outstanding obligations to creditors of the Debtor's estate.\n\n64. The Defendants were the initial transferee of the Transfers.\n\n## **FIRST CLAIM**\n\n## **(Against Defendant Weihua Li) (Claim to Avoid and Recover Actual Fraudulent Transfers Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 548(a)(1)(A) and 550(a))**\n\n65.
