Despins 以 Ho Wan Kwok 第11章案件中获任命的第11章受托人（“受托人”）身份提出的动议（“该动议”）4，申请根据《美国法典》第11编第105(a)条（“破产法”）、《联邦破产程序规则》（“破产程序规则”）第7016条及《康涅狄格州地区联邦破产程序地方法规》（“当地破产法规”）第7016-1条作出命令（“本命令”），中止对抗程序编号24-5249（“综合另我对抗程序”）及24-5273（“民事RICO对抗程序”，与综合另我对抗程序合称“相关对抗程序”），并在债务人刑事审判结束前处理其他事项；且本法院根据 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 和 1334 以及美国康涅狄格州联邦地区法院的移送常设命令，对审理该动议及其中请求的救济具有管辖权；且根据 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)，审理该动议及其中请求的救济属于核心程序；且根据 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 和 1409，本法院为适格审判地；且本法院认定，该动议所请求的救济符合债务人第11章遗产、其债权人及所有利害关系方的最佳利益；且在特定情形下已就该动议给予适当且充分的通知；且看来无需给予其他或进一步通知；且经本法院审理的全部程序；且对本命令所请求救济提出的任何异议均已撤回或经实体审理被驳回；且经适当审议并有充分理由，特此命令：\n\n4　本文中使用但未另行定义的首字母大写术语，具有该动议中赋予其的含义。\n\n1.　该动议按本命令所规定的内容予以准许。\n\n2.　在遵守下文第5段的前提下，相关对抗程序特此中止，直至 United States of America v. Ho Wan Kwok, et al., Case No. 23-CR-118 (AT)（“刑事案件”）中的刑事审判（“刑事审判”）结束。该刑事案件正在 United States District Court for the Southern District of New York（纽约南区联邦地区法院）（“刑事法院”）审理，该审判目前定于 May 20, 2024 开始。\n\n3.　刑事审判结束后，受托人应在本法院及刑事法院提交恢复相关对抗程序的通知；该等提交后，中止即告终止（自本命令作出之日起至该终止之日止的期间，称为“中止期间”）。\n\n4. 在遵守下文第5段的前提下，涉案对抗程序中的所有活动应在暂缓期间内中止并暂停，包括但不限于各方就适用起诉状提交答辩或以其他方式作出回应的期限。在暂缓期间内，不得提交或送达任何答辩或其他回应，包括但不限于依据《联邦破产程序规则》第7012条提出的答辩或其他回应。暂缓期间届满后，在遵守法院进一步命令的前提下，所有已获送达适用传票和起诉状的被告，应自暂缓期间终止之日起30日内就该起诉状提交答辩或以其他方式作出回应。\n\n5. 尽管本命令载有任何相反规定：(a) 受托人在综合替身对抗程序中针对被告K Legacy, Ltd.（K Legacy有限公司）及以K Legacy, Ltd.名义所有人身份列名的Qiang Guo（郭强）提出的请求，不应被中止，亦不受本命令以其他方式影响；以及(b) 在暂缓期间内，受托人应获准(i) 采取措施，向涉案对抗程序的被告送达传票和起诉状，以及(ii) 向本法院提出动议，并将该动议通知提交至刑事法院，以在涉案对抗程序中寻求禁令救济或其他救济，以防止对破产财产造成不可弥补的损害，例如为防止潜在破产财产资产被耗散所必需的救济。\n\n6. 除非法院另行作出命令，在暂缓期间内，主破产案件中不得进行任何证言录取，包括但不限于依据《联邦破产程序规则》第2004条传票进行的证言录取；任何对抗程序中亦不得进行任何证言录取，包括但不限于涉案对抗程序。如受托人认为为保护破产财产资产或确保第11章破产财产得到有序管理，有必要在暂缓期间内进行证言录取，受托人可在向刑事案件各方发出通知后，向本法院提交动议，请求准许进行该等证言录取。\n\n7. 尽管有前述规定，如2024年3月19日状态会议记录所载，本法院无权中止在United States District Court, District of Connecticut（美国康涅狄格联邦地区法院）审理的Case No. 3:24-mc-00032-KAD程序，该程序旨在审理被告Mei Guo（郭梅）于2024年3月14日提交的撤回移送动议（“地区法院程序”）；因此，本命令施加的中止及其相关规定不适用于地区法院程序。然而，本命令不影响各方在地区法院程序中的权利，包括但不限于受托人请求中止地区法院程序的权利，以及被告Mei Guo反对任何该等请求的权利。\n\n8. 经任何一方提出动议，并在适当通知及听证后，本命令可被修改，包括修改或终止本命令据此施加的中止。\n\n9. 法院保留对因实施本命令而产生或与实施本命令有关的一切事项的管辖权。\n\n10. 本命令应于登记后立即生效。\n\nCase 22-50073 Doc 3036 Filed 03/22/24 Entered 03/22/24 12:51:26 Page 12 of 19\n附件B\n\n修订标记版本\nUNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT BRIDGEPORT DIVISION（美国康涅狄格联邦破产法院布里奇波特分院）\n\n第11章\nCase No. 22-50073 (JAM)\n\n（合并管理）\n对抗程序24-05273\n\n1 本第11章案件中的债务人为Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）（亦称Guo Wengui、Miles Guo和Miles Kwok，以及众多其他别名）（税务识别号码后四位：9595）、Genever Holdings LLC（Genever控股有限责任公司）（税务识别号码后四位：8202）及Genever Holdings Corporation（Genever控股公司）。受托人、Genever Holdings LLC及Genever Holdings Corporation的邮寄地址为：Paul Hastings LLP（保罗·黑斯廷斯律师事务所），200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166，c/o Luc A.

Despins以在Ho Wan Kwok（“债务人”）第11章案件中被任命的第11章受托人（“受托人”）身份提出动议（“动议”）2，请求依据《美国法典》第11编（“破产法”）第105(a)条、《联邦破产程序规则》（“破产规则”）第7016条及《康涅狄格地区破产程序地方法则》（“地方破产规则”）第7016-1条，作出命令（“本命令”），中止对抗程序编号24-5249（“综合替身对抗程序”）及24-5273（“民事RICO对抗程序”，与综合替身对抗程序合称“涉案对抗程序”），并处理待债务人刑事审判结束后再行处理的其他事项；且本法院根据28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334以及United States District Court for the District of Connecticut（美国康涅狄格联邦地区法院）作出的常设移送命令，对审理该动议及其中请求的救济具有管辖权；且根据28 U.S.C. § 157(b)，对该动议及其中请求救济的审理构成核心程序；且根据28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409，本法院为适当审理地点；且法院认定，动议所请求的救济最符合债务人第11章破产财产、其债权人及所有利害关系方的利益；且已在具体情形下就该动议作出适当且充分的通知；且显然无需作出其他或进一步通知；且在本法院进行的所有程序之后；且对本命令所请求救济的任何异议均已被撤回，或经实体审理被驳回；且经适当审议并有充分理由，现命令如下：\n\n1. 动议按本命令所载内容获准。\n\n2. 在遵守下文第5段的前提下，涉案对抗程序现予中止，直至United States of America v. Ho Wan Kwok, et al., Case No. 23-CR-118 (AT)（“刑事案件”）中的刑事审判（“刑事审判”）结束为止；该刑事案件目前正在United States District Court for the Southern District of New York（美国纽约南区联邦地区法院）（“刑事法院”）审理，且该审判现定于May 20, 2024开始。\n\n3. 刑事审判结束后，受托人应在本法院及刑事法院提交恢复涉案对抗程序的通知；该等通知一经提交，中止即告终止（自本命令登记之日起至该等终止之日止的期间，称为“暂缓期间”）。\n\n4. 在遵守下文第5段的前提下，涉案对抗程序中的所有活动应在暂缓期间内中止并暂停，包括但不限于各方就适用起诉状提交答辩或以其他方式作出回应的期限。在暂缓期间内，不得提交或送达任何答辩或其他回应，包括但不限于依据《联邦破产程序规则》第7012条提出的答辩或其他回应。暂缓期间届满后，在遵守法院进一步命令的前提下，所有已获送达适用传票和起诉状的被告，应自暂缓期间终止之日起30日内就该起诉状提交答辩或以其他方式作出回应。\n\n5. 尽管本命令载有任何相反规定：(a) 受托人在综合替身对抗程序中针对被告K Legacy, Ltd.及以K Legacy, Ltd.名义所有人身份列名的Qiang Guo提出的请求，不应被中止，亦不受本命令以其他方式影响；以及(b) 在暂缓期间内，受托人应获准(i) 采取措施，向涉案对抗程序的被告送达传票和起诉状，以及(ii) 向本法院提出动议，并将该动议通知提交至刑事法院，以在涉案对抗程序中寻求禁令救济或其他救济，以防止对破产财产造成不可弥补的损害，例如为防止潜在破产财产资产被耗散所必需的救济。\n\n6. 除非法院另行作出命令，在暂缓期间内，主破产案件中不得进行任何证言录取，包括但不限于依据《联邦破产程序规则》第2004条传票进行的证言录取；任何对抗程序中亦不得进行任何证言录取，包括但不限于涉案对抗程序。如受托人认为为保护破产财产资产或确保第11章破产财产得到有序管理，有必要在暂缓期间内进行证言录取，受托人可在向刑事案件各方发出通知后，向本法院提交动议，请求准许进行该等证言录取。\n\n7. 尽管有前述规定，如2024年3月19日状态会议记录所载，本法院无权中止在United States District Court, District of Connecticut审理的Case No. 3:24-mc-00032-KAD程序，该程序旨在审理被告Mei Guo于2024年3月14日提交的撤回移送动议（“地区法院程序”）；因此，本命令施加的中止及其相关规定不适用于地区法院程序。然而，本命令不影响各方在地区法院程序中的权利，包括但不限于受托人请求中止地区法院程序的权利，以及被告Mei Guo反对任何该等请求的权利。\n\n8. 本命令可经任何一方提出动议，并在适当通知及举行听证后予以修改，包括修改或终止本命令据此施加的暂缓执行。\n\n9. 7. 本院对因执行本命令而产生或与之相关的一切事项保留管辖权。\n\n10. 8. 本命令自录入之日起立即生效。\n\n[不同首页设置在原件中由启用更改为在修改件中关闭。]。\n\n[与前一节链接设置在原件中由启用更改为在修改件中关闭。]。\n\n[不同首页设置在原件中由启用更改为在修改件中关闭。]。","key_entities":["Je","Guo","Himalaya","Kwok","Ho Wan Kwok","Despins","William Je","Saraca","Paul Hastings","Miles Guo","GETTR","RICO","HCHK","GTV"],"ecf_references":[],"word_count":4407,"status":"published","published_at":"2024-03-22 00:00:00","created_at":"2024-03-22","updated_at":"2026-08-23 19:56:27"}
