At the evidentiary hearing relating to ECF Nos. 102 and 183 held on Wednesday, May 25th, the Court noted that while the matter was being taken under advisement, the Court was generally available to have a status conference on the matter.\n\nWhile the Individual Creditors continue to believe this case has viable assets that can be marshalled by a Chapter 7 Trustee efficiently, based on the Court's concerns raised at the hearing respecting the types of claims involved in this case and limits in a Chapter 7 case, the Individual Creditors wish to clarify that they support the position of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the \"Committee\") stated in the Committee's Supplemental Memorandum of Law (ECF No. 408, at 8-9) and discussed between Committee Counsel and the Court at the end of the Hearing, to wit, to allow this case to continue in Chapter 11 briefly with a Chapter\n\n<sup>1</sup> The above-named Debtor and Debtor in Possession, Ho Wan Kwok (the \"**Debtor**\" or \"**Kwok**\") is known by the following names: Guo Wengui; Miles Guo; Miles Kwok; and Ho Wan Kwok.\n\n11 trustee to ascertain whether funding is available and whether a potential plan is viable (*i.e*., with Chapter 11 trustee substituting in for Debtor in the pending adversary proceeding concerning a determination of ownership interests in the Lady May (Adv. Proc. No. 22-05003) and the merits of many claims handled after confirmation). That alternative would be an agreeable resolution for the Individual Creditors. As Attorney Goldman noted, if the Chapter 11 trustee finds in short order that funding or a plan is not feasible, the Chapter 11 trustee could make the independent determination that dismissal is indeed in the best interests of creditors. However, if the case is prematurely dismissed, such dismissal cannot be undone. Since the Individual Creditors' Supplemental Statement argued that they preferred Chapter 7, we wanted to inform/clarify for the Court that the Chapter 11 trustee is an alternative agreeable to the Individual Creditors.\n\n**WHEREFORE**, the Individual Creditors respectfully request that the Court schedule and hold a status conference at its earliest convenience to the extent needed to clarify the Individual Creditors' position.\n\nDated: May 27, 2022 */s/ Kristin B.

Proc. No. 22-05003），且许多债权的实质问题在方案确认后再予处理）。这一备选方案对于个人债权人而言是可以接受的解决方案。正如 Goldman 律师所指出，如果第 11 章受托人很快发现资金或方案不可行，第 11 章受托人可以独立作出决定，认为驳回案件确实符合债权人的最大利益。然而，如果案件被过早驳回，这种驳回将无法挽回。由于个人债权人的补充陈述曾主张其倾向于适用第 7 章，我们希望向法院告知/澄清，指定第 11 章受托人是个人债权人可以接受的替代方案。\n\n为此，个人债权人谨请求法院在最早方便之时安排并举行案件进展会议，以澄清个人债权人立场所需的程度为限。\n\n日期：2022 年 5 月 27 日\n/s/ Kristin B.
