I am the sole member of HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC (\"HK USA\"), the sole owner of the yacht known as the \"Lady May.\" As such, I have personal knowledge of the facts set forth in this Declaration.\n\n2. HK USA contracted with Yachtzoo SARL (\"Yachtzoo\") to provide yacht\n\nmanagement services for the Lady May, and Yachtzoo continues to serve in that capacity.\n\n3. The Lady May departed Funchal, Madeira, Portugal, on June 24, 2022, and is currently en route to Hamilton, Bermuda, with an expected arrival date of on or about July 1, 2022.\n\n4. Based, in part, upon the written representation of Yachtzoo, all work described in that certain Declaration of Russell Stockil dated April 10, 2022, and filed in this bankruptcy case in connection with this matter, as to be performed has been completed except the work which\n\n1\n\ncould not be completed within the time allowed, specifically, the replacement of the sea inlet valves. 1\n\n5. The Lady May's departure had been delayed waiting for a favorable weather window to cross the Atlantic. With an expected arrival to Hamilton, Bermuda, on or about July 1, 2022, it is expected that after refueling the Lady May can depart Bermuda for Bridgeport, Connecticut on July 2nd or 3rd .\n\n6. Based on this route and weather and other circumstances permitting, I reasonably anticipate that the Lady May will be present in the navigable waters of Connecticut between July 5 th and 6 th, 2022.\n\nPursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the forgoing is true and correct.\n\nDated: June 30, 2022\n\n*/s/ Mei Guo* Mei Guo\n\n<sup>1</sup> Due to a miscommunication between Mr. Stockil and my counsel, my prior declarations did not include this clarification. Mr. Stockil had represented that all contemplated work had been completed (which I relied upon) because the decision had been made prior to the entry of the Stipulated Order Compelling HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC to Transport and Deliver that Certain Yacht, the \"Lady May\" [ECF No. 299] (\"Stipulated Order\") on April 29, 2022, not to replace the sea valves at that time – which, as stated in Mr. Stockil's Declaration, would have required an additional three to six weeks. Upon information and belief, at the time the decision was made, my counsel informed counsel for the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and counsel for Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund, L.P. that the sea inlet valve replacement work was being postponed and would be completed in the United States after the Lady May's arrival in Bridgeport, Connecticut. HK USA intends to fund a \"Repair Reserve\" for this work in accordance with the Stipulated Order, specifically, ¶ 11.","body_zh":"UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT BRIDGEPORT DIVISION（美国康涅狄格区联邦破产法院布里奇波特分部）\n\n关于：第11章\n\nHO WAN KWOK（郭文贵），案件编号：22-50073 (JAM)\n债务人。\n\nPACIFIC ALLIANCE ASIA OPPORTUNITY FUND, L.P.（太盟亚洲机会基金有限公司），争议事项 [Doc. No. 57]\n动议人，\n诉\nHO WAN KWOK（郭文贵），\n被申请人。\nMEI GUO（郭美）的声明\n\n本人，Mei Guo（郭美），特此声明如下：\n\n1. 本人是 HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC（“HK USA”）的唯一成员，该公司系名为“Lady May”（梅号）游艇的唯一所有人。因此，本人对本声明中所陈述的事实具有个人亲知。\n\n2. HK USA 与 Yachtzoo SARL（“Yachtzoo”）签订了合同，由其为“Lady May”号提供游艇管理服务，且 Yachtzoo 目前继续以该身份履职。\n\n3. “Lady May”号于 2022年6月24日 离开葡萄牙马德拉群岛的丰沙尔，目前正驶向百慕大汉密尔顿，预计抵达日期为 2022年7月1日 或前后。\n\n4. 部分基于 Yachtzoo 的书面陈述，日期为 2022年4月10日 并就本事项提交于本破产案件中的 Russell Stockil（拉塞尔·斯托基尔）声明中所述应予执行的全部工作均已完成，但在允许时间内无法完成的工作除外，具体而言即海水进水阀的更换。1\n\n5. 为等待横跨大西洋的有利天气窗口，“Lady May”号的启航此前有所延误。预计于 2022年7月1日 或前后抵达百慕大汉密尔顿后，预计在完成加油后，“Lady May”号可于 7月2日 或 3日 离开百慕大前往康涅狄格州布里奇波特。\n\n6. 基于该航线并在天气及其他情况允许的前提下，本人合理预计“Lady May”号将于 2022年7月5日 至 6日 期间出现在康涅狄格州的可航行水域。\n\n根据 28 U.S.C. § 1746，本人声明，在接受美利坚合众国法律关于伪证罪之处罚的前提下，上述内容均真实无误。\n\n日期：2022年6月30日\n\n/s/ Mei Guo\nMei Guo（郭美）\n\n1 由于 Stockil 先生与本人的律师之间沟通有误，本人此前的声明中未包含此项说明。Stockil 先生曾表示所有预期工作均已完成（本人对此予以信赖），原因是在 2022年4月29日 录入《强令 HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC 运输并交付特定游艇“Lady May”号之规定裁定》[ECF No. 299]（“《规定裁定》”）之前，已作出当时暂不更换海水阀的决定——正如 Stockil 先生声明中所述，该项工作原本需要额外的三至六周时间。据知悉并确信，在作出该决定时，本人的律师已通知无担保债权人官方委员会的律师及 Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund, L.P.（太盟亚洲机会基金有限公司）的律师，海水进水阀的更换工作已推迟，并将在“Lady May”号抵达康涅狄格州布里奇波特后在美国境内完成。HK USA 打算按照《规定裁定》（具体见第 11 段）为该项工作提供“维修准备金”资金。","key_entities":["Guo","Kwok","Ho Wan Kwok","CIPA"],"ecf_references":[{"doc_number":299,"court":"CTB"}],"word_count":540,"status":"published","published_at":"2022-04-10 00:00:00","created_at":"2022-04-10","updated_at":"2026-08-23 12:23:26"}
