Despins (the \"Trustee\"), in his capacity as Chapter 11 Trustee of Ho Wan Kwok (the \"Debtor\"), hereby moves (the \"Motion to Expedite\"), pursuant to Rules 2002 and 9006(c)(1) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the \"Bankruptcy Rules\"), for entry of an order, substantially in the form attached as **Exhibit 1** hereto, limiting notice and scheduling an expedited hearing with respect to the Trustee's *Motion for Order (I) Authorizing and Approving Sale of Greenwich Property Free and Clear of Liens, Claims, Interest, and Encumbrances, (II) Authorizing and Approving Purchase and Sale Agreement and (III) Granting Related Relief (as*\n\n<sup>1</sup> The Debtors in these chapter 11 cases are Ho Wan Kwok (also known as Guo Wengui, Miles Guo, and Miles Kwok, as well as numerous other aliases) (last four digits of tax identification number: 9595), Genever Holdings LLC (last four digits of tax identification number: 8202) and Genever Holdings Corporation. The mailing address for the Trustee, Genever Holdings LLC, and Genever Holdings Corporation is Paul Hastings LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166 c/o Luc A. Despins, as Trustee for the Estate of Ho Wan Kwok (solely for purposes of notices and communications).\n\n*further described herein, the \"Sale Motion\"*).<sup>2</sup> In support of this Motion to Expedite, the Trustee respectfully states as follows:\n\n## **JURISDICTION, VENUE, AND STATUTORY BASES**\n\n1. The Court has jurisdiction to consider this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334. This is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2).\n\n2. Venue in this District is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.\n\n3. The bases for the relief sought by this Motion are Bankruptcy Rules 2002 (a)(2) and (i) and 9006(c)(1).\n\n#### **BACKGROUND AND TRUSTEE'S SALE MOTION**\n\n4. Immediately prior to the filing of this Motion to Expedite, the Trustee filed the Sale Motion seeking approval of the PSA and related relief. The terms of the Sale Motion are incorporated herein.\n\n5. Although the Trustee cannot compel the Buyer to close before 45 days from the Contract Date (November 11, 2024), the Trustee seeks to be in a position to close on the sale of the Greenwich Property as quickly as possible if the Buyer is ready to close prior to November 11, 2024.\n\n6. The Greenwich Property is a luxury residential property with significant upkeep and carrying costs for the Debtor's estate. Currently, the estate incurs approximately \\$15,000.00 each month (comprised of real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, security costs, property and grounds maintenance) to maintain and preserve the Greenwich Property. In addition, the Trustee received a notice from the current insurance carrier for the Greenwich Property advising the\n\n<sup>2</sup> Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Motion to Expedite have the meanings set forth in the Sale Motion.\n\nTrustee that the insurance carrier was exercising its right to terminate the coverage as of October 13, 2024. **<sup>3</sup>** While the Trustee is currently investigating alternative insurance coverage, it is unclear whether such coverage can be obtained.\n\n7. Based upon the insurance coverage situation, as well as current carrying costs and potential increased costs, the Trustee believes that it is in the best interest of the Debtor's estate to close on the sale of the Greenwich Property as soon as possible.\n\n#### **RELIEF REQUESTED**\n\n8. The Trustee respectfully requests that the Court enter an order (a) limiting service of the Sale Motion to: (i) the Office of the United States Trustee for the District of Connecticut, (ii) the Buyer, (iii) counsel for the Debtor, (iv) counsel for the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, (v) all entities and individuals known to have expressed to Compass an interest in purchasing the Greenwich Property, and (vi) all parties who have requested notice in the Debtor's case pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002 (collectively, the \"Notice Parties\") and (b) directing any objections to the Sale Motion be filed on or before October 14, 2024 at 1 pm, with a copy to be served upon the Trustee by electronic mail; (c) directing any competing bids, accompanied by a cash deposit equal to 15% of the proposed competing bid, to be sent to the Trustee by electronic mail at *Lucdespins@paulhastings.com* on or before October 14, 2024 at 10 am; and (c) scheduling a hearing with respect to the Sale Motion for October 15, 2024 at 1 pm.\n\n#### **BASIS FOR RELIEF REQUESTED**\n\n#### **I. Limiting Service of the Sale Motion**\n\n9. Bankruptcy Rule 2002 generally requires that a minimum of twenty-one (21) days' notice be provided by mail to \"the debtor, the trustee, all creditors and indenture trustees\" and any\n\n<sup>3</sup>The Trustee is reserving all rights with respect to all claims regarding the insurance coverage matter.\n\ncommittee appointed under section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code, with respect to motions addressing a \"proposed use, sale, or lease of property of the estate other than in the ordinary course of business, unless the court for cause shown shortens the time or directs another method of giving notice.\" *See* Bankruptcy Rule 2002 (a) and (i).\n\n10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bankruptcy Rule 2002(i) provides that the Court \"may order that notices required by subdivision (a)(2) … of this rule be transmitted to the United States trustee and be mailed only to the committees elected under §705 or appointed under §1102 of the Code or to their authorized agents and to the creditors and equity security holders who serve on the trustee or debtor in possession and file a request that all notices be mailed to them.\"\n\n11. There have been approximately 1,400 claims filed in these chapter 11 cases and the overwhelming majority were filed by individuals located in foreign jurisdictions and many of whom have elected confidential treatment of their claims (in accordance with the bar date order). The cost to serve the Sale Motion on all creditors would be substantial.\n\n12. The Trustee submits that it would be unduly burdensome for the Debtor's estate to serve the Sale Motion on 1,400 parties, particularly given the nature of the relief requested by the Sale Motion, which will liquidate an asset for which the estate has and will continue to incur costs to preserve to cash after a vigorous public marketing. The Trustee submits that under these circumstances it is appropriate and is in the best interests of the estate, its creditors, and other parties-in-interest, to limit service of the Sale Motion upon the Notice Parties only.\n\n#### **II. Shortening Notice and Scheduling Expedited Hearing on the Sale Motion**\n\n13. In addition, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rules 2002(a)(2) and 9006(c)(1), the Court may reduce the notice period when requested by motion where cause is demonstrated. Cause exists to consider and determine the Sale Motion upon an expedited basis.\n\n4\n\n14. The Greenwich Property was actively marketed by the Broker in a way common to residential properties of its nature in the Fairfield County area. There was robust activity regarding the real property with extensive online interest as well as in-person viewings resulting in a negotiated offer between the Trustee and an arm's length third party buyer, after a competing bid was received.\n\n15. Parties in interest will not be prejudiced by expedited consideration of the Sale Motion. The Sale Motion contemplates that the Trustee will consider any higher or better offers received for the Greenwich Property. It is submitted that additional time entering into the fall and winter season will not enhance the marketing process while carrying costs at the Greenwich Property are likely to increase.\n\n16. As noted in the Sale Motion, although the Trustee does not expect to receive competing bids, the Trustee is duty-bound to consider any higher or better offers for the Greenwich Property and seeks to provide an opportunity for parties to submit a competing bid. The Trustee proposes that all such competing bids be in the form of the PSA, marked to show any changes proposed by the competing bidder, provide for a cash purchase, include evidence of the financial source(s) for the competing bid and be submitted to the Trustee by electronic mail at Lucdespins@paulhastings.com, accompanied by a cash deposit in an amount equal to 15% of the proposed cash bid, by 10 am of the day prior to the hearing with respect to the Sale Motion.\n\n#### **NO PREVIOUS REQUEST**\n\n17. No previous request for the relief sought herein has been made by the Trustee to this or any other court.\n\n[*Remainder of page intentionally left blank.*]\n\nWHEREFORE, the Trustee requests that the Court issue an order, substantially in the form\n\nattached hereto as **Exhibit 1**, and ordering such other and further relief as is just and proper.\n\nNew Haven, Connecticut\n\nDated: September 30, 2024 LUC A.

Despins, as Trustee for the Estate of Ho Wan Kwok（仅用于通知与联络目的）。\n\n本文进一步所述，即“出售动议”）2 限制通知范围并安排加急听证。为支持本加急动议，受托人谨陈述如下：\n\n管辖权、审判地及法定依据\n\n1. 依据 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 和 1334，本法院对审理本事项具有管辖权。依据 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)，本案属于核心诉讼程序。\n\n2. 依据 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 和 1409，本审判区的审判地是适当的。\n\n3. 本动议所寻求救济的依据为《破产规则》第2002条 (a)(2) 款和 (i) 款以及第9006(c)(1)条。\n\n背景与受托人的出售动议\n\n4. 在提交本加急动议之前，受托人已立即提交了出售动议，请求批准《买卖协议》（PSA）及相关救济。出售动议的各项条款均并入本文。\n\n5. 尽管受托人无法强迫买方在合同日期（2024年11月11日）起45天之前进行交割，但如果买方准备在2024年11月11日之前交割，受托人希望做好准备，以便能够尽快完成格林威治物业出售的交割。\n\n6. 格林威治物业为豪华住宅物业，对债务人破产财产而言产生大量的维护和持有成本。目前，破产财产每月产生约 $15,000.00 美元（包括不动产税、保险费、公共事业费用、安保费用、物业与场地维护费），用于维护和保存格林威治物业。此外，受托人收到格林威治物业当前保险承保公司的通知，告知\n\n2 本加急动议中使用但未另行定义的首字母大写术语具有出售动议中所规定的含义。\n\n受托人该保险承保公司将行使其权利，自2024年10月13日起终止保险承保。3 虽然受托人目前正在寻找替代的保险承保方案，但尚不确定能否获得此类保险承保。\n\n7. 基于保险承保情况，以及当前的持有成本和潜在的增加成本，受托人认为，尽快就格林威治物业的出售完成交割符合债务人破产财产的最佳利益。\n\n请求的救济\n\n8. 受托人谨请求法院作出一项命令：(a) 将出售动议的送达范围限制为：(i) 康涅狄格区美国破产受托人办公室（Office of the United States Trustee for the District of Connecticut），(ii) 买方，(iii) 债务人律师，(iv) 无担保债权人官方委员会律师，(v) 所有已知曾向 Compass 表达过购买格林威治物业意向的实体和个人，以及 (vi) 根据《破产规则》第2002条在债务人案件中请求接收通知的所有各方（统称为“通知方”）；(b) 指示对出售动议的任何异议均须于2024年10月14日下午1点或之前提交，并须通过电子邮件向受托人送达一份副本；(c) 指示任何竞标均须附带等于拟议竞标金额15%的现金保证金，并于2024年10月14日上午10点或之前通过电子邮件发送给受托人（邮箱：Lucdespins@paulhastings.com）；以及 (c) 将关于出售动议的听证会安排在2024年10月15日下午1点。\n\n所请求救济的依据\n\nI. 限制出售动议的送达范围\n\n9. 《破产规则》第2002条通常要求，对于涉及“非在正常业务过程中拟使用、出售或租赁破产财产的动议，除非法院因正当理由缩短时间或指示其他通知方式”，必须至少提前二十一（21）天通过邮寄方式向“债务人、受托人、所有债权人和契约受托人”以及任何\n\n3 受托人对有关保险承保事项的所有主张保留全部权利。\n\n根据《破产法典》第1102条任命的委员会提供通知。参见《破产规则》第2002条 (a) 款和 (i) 款。\n\n10. 尽管有上述规定，《破产规则》第2002(i)条规定，法院“可以命令将本规则 (a)(2) 款……所要求的通知发送给美国破产受托人，并且仅邮寄给根据本法典第705条选举产生或根据第1102条任命的委员会或其授权代理人，以及向受托人或占有中债务人送达通知并提出将所有通知邮寄给他们之请求的债权人和权益证券持有人。”\n\n11. 在这些第11章案件中已提交了大约1,400份债权申报，绝大多数是由位于外国管辖区的个人提交的，且其中许多人已选择对其债权主张作保密处理（根据截债日命令）。向所有债权人送达出售动议的成本将十分高昂。\n\n12. 受托人认为，向1,400方当事人送达出售动议将对债务人的破产财产造成过重负担，特别是考虑到出售动议所请求救济的性质——该动议将在经过大力公开营销之后，将破产财产已经并将继续产生成本予以保存的一项资产变现为现金。受托人认为，在这些情况下，仅向通知方送达出售动议是适当的，且符合破产财产、其债权人及其他利害关系方的最佳利益。\n\nII. 缩短通知时间并安排出售动议的加急听证\n\n13. 此外，根据《破产规则》第2002(a)(2)条和第9006(c)(1)条，在经动议请求且证明有正当理由的情况下，法院可以缩短通知期限。按加急程序审理和裁决出售动议存在充分正当理由。\n\n14. 经纪人以在费尔菲尔德县地区同类住宅物业通用的方式积极对格林威治物业进行了营销。该不动产的交易活动十分活跃，在收到竞标后，引发了广泛的线上关注以及实地看房，最终促成了受托人与独立第三方买方之间的协商要约。\n\n15. 利害关系方不会因加急审理出售动议而受到损害。出售动议预计受托人将考虑就格林威治物业收到的任何更高或更好的要约。可以认定的是，随着进入秋冬季节，额外的时间并不会改善营销过程，而格林威治物业的持有成本却很可能增加。\n\n16. 如出售动议所述，尽管受托人预计不会收到竞标，但受托人有责任考虑就格林威治物业提出的任何更高或更好的要约，并力求为各方提供提交竞标的机会。受托人提议，所有此类竞标均应采用买卖协议（PSA）的形式，标明竞标人提议的任何修改，规定以现金购买，包括竞标资金来源的证明，并在关于出售动议听证会前一天的上午10点前通过电子邮件发送给受托人（邮箱：Lucdespins@paulhastings.com），并附带相当于拟议现金竞标金额15%的现金保证金。\n\n此前未提出过请求\n\n17. 受托人此前未就本文所寻求的救济向本法院或任何其他法院提出过请求。\n\n[本页其余部分有意留白。]\n\n为此，受托人请求法院实质上按照本文附件1的形式作出一项命令，并裁定准予法院认为公正和适当的其他及进一步救济。\n\n康涅狄格州纽黑文\n\n日期：2024年9月30日 LUC A.
