(\"**PAX**\") for certain relief in connection with the automatic stay in this case [Docket No. 57] (the \"**Motion**\"), and respectfully states as follows:\n\n1. The Motion and supporting exhibits describe a lengthy and unbroken record of contumacious behavior by the Debtor that is egregious and an affront to the judicial system. The Creditors' experiences with the Debtor, and the basis for their claims in this case, are even more shocking and further establish that the Debtor believes himself to be above the law and is utterly incapable of acting in good faith with respect to his creditors or the judicial system.\n\n2. The extensive efforts of PAX to pursue the Debtor and his assets are commendable and advance the interests of creditors generally, particularly because the Debtor is highly practiced at obfuscating his assets and interests in shells of family and nominees. Accordingly, the Creditors support the relief requested by PAX in the Motion, and fully support the exercise by the New York Supreme Court of its full powers under NY Judiciary Act § 753 against the Debtor. As massive monetary sanctions have failed to prompt corrective behavior by the Debtor,\n\nthe Creditors submit that such an outcome is not only appropriate but would be in the best\n\ninterests of the estate.\n\n3. However, the Creditors submit that the order proposed by PAX should be clarified\n\nto avoid any potential unintended consequences to creditors generally, and request that any order\n\nauthorizing the requested relief for PAX include the following language:\n\nORDERED that any payment from or property of the Debtor obtained or marshalled by Movant through any such contempt orders is property of the estate to be disposed of in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and subject to further order of this Court, and the rights of all parties in interest with respect thereto are reserved in all respects; and it is further\n\nORDERED that, absent further order of the Court, any portion of Movant's claims against the Debtor resulting from the accrual of monetary civil contempt sanctions against the Debtor after the commencement of this case shall not be paid or satisfied prior to the satisfaction in full of all allowed claims of creditors who are not insiders or affiliates of the Debtor.\n\n4. The Creditors reserve all of their rights with respect to the claims of any party in\n\ninterest to property of the estate and to the distribution of any such property.\n\nDated: March 15, 2022 */s/ Kristin B.

PAX 为追索债务人及其资产所付出的广泛努力值得赞许，并增进了全体债权人的利益，尤其是因为债务人极擅长通过家族及代持人设立的外壳实体来隐匿其资产和权益。因此，债权人支持 PAX 在动议中所请求的救济，并完全支持 New York Supreme Court（纽约州最高法院）依据 NY Judiciary Act § 753（《纽约州司法法》第 753 条）对债务人行使其全部权力。鉴于巨额金钱制裁未能促使债务人改正其行为，债权人认为，产生此种结果不仅是恰当的，而且符合破产财团的最佳利益。\n\n3. 然而，债权人认为，PAX 拟议的裁定应予以澄清，以避免对全体债权人造成任何潜在的意外后果，并请求授权给予 PAX 所请求救济的任何裁定均包含以下表述：\n\n裁定：动议人通过任何此类藐视法庭裁定所获取或整理归集的来自债务人的任何款项或财产，均为破产财团财产，应依照《破产法典》并受制于本法院的进一步裁定予以处置，所有利害关系方就此享有的权利在各方面均予保留；且进一步\n\n裁定：在法院无进一步裁定的情况下，动议人因在本案启动后对债务人产生的民事藐视法庭金钱制裁累计而针对债务人享有的任何债权部分，在非债务人内部人或关联方的债权人的所有获准债权得到全额清偿之前，不得予以支付或清偿。\n\n4. 债权人对任何利害关系方针对破产财团财产提出的权利主张以及对任何此类财产的分配保留其全部权利。\n\n日期：March 15, 2022 /s/ Kristin B.
