COLEMAN AS FRAUD INVESTIGATION CONSULTANT**\n\nI, Samuel Nunberg, hereby declare, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, as follows:\n\n1. I am making this declaration (the \"Declaration\") in my capacity as Chair of the\n\nOfficial Committee of Unsecured Creditors Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the\n\n\"Committee\") appointed in the above-captioned chapter 11 proceeding (the \"Chapter 11 Case\")\n\nof the above-captioned debtor and debtor in possession (the \"Debtor\") in support of the\n\n*Application of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors for Entry of an Order Authorizing*\n\n*the Employment and Retention of Gregory A. Coleman as Fraud Investigation Consultant,*\n\n*Effective as of May 3, 2022* (the \"Application\") on behalf of the Committee.\n\n### **The Committee's Selection of Gregory A. Coleman as Fraud Investigation Consultant**\n\n2. Gregory A. Coleman (\"Mr. Coleman\") of Coleman Worldwide Advisors is\n\nproposed to serve as fraud investigation consultant to the Committee. The Committee recognizes that a review process is necessary in managing a financial professionals and consultants to ensure\n\n<sup>1</sup> The Debtor is known by the following names: Guo Wengui; Miles Guo; Miles Kwok; and Ho Wan Kwok.\n\nthat bankruptcy professionals are subject to the same scrutiny and accountability as professionals in non-bankruptcy engagements. The review process utilized by the Committee here assessed potential committee consultants based on their expertise in matters that the Committee expects will be directly germane to this case.\n\n3. On March 22, 2022, the Office of the United States Trustee (the \"U.S. Trustee\") for Region 2 appointed the Committee, consisting of the following three (3) members: (i) Rui Ma, (ii) Ning Ye and (iii) Samuel Dan Nunberg. I was appointed the Chair of the Committee.\n\n4. On May 2, 2022, the Committee selected Mr. Coleman as a fraud investigation consultant, subject to court approval. The Committee believes that Mr. Coleman's extensive experience in asset-tracing and investigation, both out of court and in legal proceedings, make Mr. Coleman well qualified to represent the Committee in this Chapter 11 Case in a costeffective manner. Thus, the Committee decided to retain Mr. Coleman as the Committee's proposed fraud investigation consultant during this Chapter 11 Case.\n\n#### **Rate Structure**\n\n5. Mr. Coleman has informed the Committee that his rate for consulting services rendered in a bankruptcy case is consistent with and comparable to the rate he charges for nonbankruptcy representations. Mr. Coleman has informed the Committee that his current hourly rates apply to non-bankruptcy services, if any, provided by Mr. Coleman, unless a contingent fee, mixed contingent fee, flat fee, or blended rate arrangement is agreed upon.\n\n#### **Cost Structure**\n\n6. The Committee will approve any budget and staffing plan provided by Mr. Coleman, recognizing that, in the course of chapter 11 cases like this Chapter 11 Case, it is possible that there may be a number of unforeseen fees and expenses that will need to be addressed by the\n\n2\n\nCommittee and Mr. Coleman. I further recognize that it is the Committee's responsibility to closely monitor the billing practices of their professionals to ensure the fees and expenses paid by the estate remain consistent with the Committee's expectations and the exigencies of the Chapter 11 Case. The Committee will continue to review the monthly fee applications or statements that Mr. Coleman regularly submits.\n\n7. The Committee will be separately seeking to retain Dundon Advisers, Inc. as its financial advisor. The Committee will also continue to review the monthly fee applications or statements of both sets of professionals to attempt to avoid any duplication of time and effort between the two.\n\nDated: May , 2022 3\n\n> */s/ Samuel Nunberg* Samuel Nunberg","body_zh":"证物 B\nUNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT BRIDGEPORT DIVISION（美国康涅狄格区破产法院布里奇波特分院）\n\n__________________________________________________\n关于：\nHo Wan Kwok（郭浩云），\n债务人。1\n第 11 章\n案件编号：22-50073 (JAM)\n__________________________________________________:\n\nSAMUEL NUNBERG（萨缪尔·农伯格）支持官方无担保债权人委员会关于作出授权聘用并留任 GREGORY A. COLEMAN 为欺诈调查顾问之命令的申请的声明\n\n我，Samuel Nunberg（萨缪尔·农伯格），特此依据 28 U.S.C. § 1746 作出如下声明：\n\n1. 我以在上述标题第 11 章程序（「第 11 章案件」）中就上述标题的债务人兼占有中债务人（「债务人」）所指定的 Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors（官方无担保债权人委员会，下称「委员会」）主席的身份作出本声明（「声明」），以代表委员会支持官方无担保债权人委员会关于作出授权聘用并留任 Gregory A. Coleman 为欺诈调查顾问的命令的申请，自 2022年5月3日起生效（「申请」）。\n\n委员会选定 Gregory A. Coleman 为欺诈调查顾问\n\n2. Coleman Worldwide Advisors 的 Gregory A. Coleman（「Coleman 先生」）拟担任委员会的欺诈调查顾问。委员会认识到，在管理财务专业人士和顾问时，审查程序是必要的，以确保\n\n1 债务人以下列姓名/名称为人所知：Guo Wengui（郭文贵）；Miles Guo；Miles Kwok；以及 Ho Wan Kwok（郭浩云）。\n\n破产专业人士接受与非破产聘任中的专业人士相同的审查和问责。委员会在此采用的审查程序根据潜在委员会顾问在委员会预计与本案直接相关的事务中的专业知识对其进行了评估。\n\n3. 2022年3月22日，Office of the United States Trustee（美国受托人办公室，下称「美国受托人」）第二区指定成立了委员会，由以下三（3）名成员组成：(i) Rui Ma（马锐），(ii) Ning Ye（叶宁）和 (iii) Samuel Dan Nunberg（萨缪尔·丹·农伯格）。我被指定为委员会主席。\n\n4. 2022年5月2日，委员会选定 Coleman 先生为欺诈调查顾问，该选定须经法院批准。委员会认为，Coleman 先生在法庭外及法律程序中进行资产追查和调查的广泛经验，使 Coleman 先生完全有资格以具有成本效益的方式代表委员会处理本第 11 章案件。因此，委员会决定在本第 11 章案件期间留任 Coleman 先生作为委员会拟聘的欺诈调查顾问。\n\n费率结构\n\n5. Coleman 先生已告知委员会，其在破产案件中提供咨询服务的费率与其在非破产代理中所收取的费率一致且相当。Coleman 先生已告知委员会，其目前的每小时费率适用于 Coleman 先生提供的非破产服务（如有），除非双方商定了风险代理费、混合风险代理费、固定费用或混合费率安排。\n\n成本结构\n\n6. 委员会将批准 Coleman 先生提供的任何预算和人员配置计划，同时认识到，在诸如本第 11 章案件之类的第 11 章案件过程中，可能会出现一些必须由委员会和 Coleman 先生处理的不可预见的费用和开支。我进一步认识到，密切监控其专业人士的计费实践以确保由破产财团支付的费用和开支符合委员会的预期及本第 11 章案件的紧迫需求，属于委员会的职责。委员会将继续审查 Coleman 先生定期提交的月度费用申请或账单。\n\n7. 委员会将单独寻求留任 Dundon Advisers, Inc. 为其财务顾问。委员会还将继续审查这两组专业人士的月度费用申请或账单，以努力避免两者之间发生任何时间和精力的重复。\n\n日期：2022年5月3日\n\n/s/ Samuel Nunberg\nSamuel Nunberg（萨缪尔·农伯格）","key_entities":["Kwok","Guo","Ho Wan Kwok","Je","Miles Guo"],"ecf_references":[],"word_count":656,"status":"published","published_at":null,"created_at":null,"updated_at":"2026-08-23 12:28:01"}
