Because the bankruptcy estate is so extensive and the jurisdiction of the court so broad, there may be lawsuits over the property or property rights of the estate. There also may be lawsuits concerning the debtor's discharge. If such a lawsuit is filed in a bankruptcy court, it is called an adversary proceeding.\n\nA party filing an adversary proceeding must also must complete and file Form 1040, the Adversary Proceeding Cover Sheet, unless the party files the adversary proceeding electronically through the court's Case Management/Electronic Case Filing system (CM/ECF). (CM/ECF captures the information on Form 1040 as part of the filing process.) When completed, the cover sheet summarizes basic information on the adversary proceeding. The clerk of court needs the information to process the adversary proceeding and prepare required statistical reports on court activity.\n\nThe cover sheet and the information contained on it do not replace or supplement the filing and service of pleadings or other papers as required by law, the Bankruptcy Rules, or the local rules of court. The cover sheet, which is largely selfexplanatory, must be completed by the plaintiff's attorney (or by the plaintiff if the plaintiff is not represented by an attorney). A separate cover sheet must be submitted to the clerk for each complaint filed.\n\n**Plaintiffs** and **Defendants.** Give the names of the plaintiffs and defendants exactly as they appear on the complaint.\n\n**Attorneys.** Give the names and addresses of the attorneys, if known.\n\n**Party**. Check the most appropriate box in the first column for the plaintiffs and the second column for the defendants.\n\n**Demand.** Enter the dollar amount being demanded in the complaint.\n\n**Signature.** This cover sheet must be signed by the attorney of record in the box on the second page of the form. If the plaintiff is represented by a law firm, a member of the firm must sign. If the plaintiff is pro se, that is, not represented by an attorney, the plaintiff must sign.\n\n## **UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT BRIDGEPORT DIVISION**\n\n| -----------------------------------------------------------                                                               | x                                                               |\n|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|\n| In re:                                                                                                                    | :<br>:<br>Chapter 11                                            |\n| 1<br>HO WAN KWOK,<br>et al.,                                                                                              | :<br>:<br>Case No. 22-50073 (JAM)                               |\n| Debtors.                                                                                                                  | :<br>:<br>(Jointly Administered)<br>:                           |\n| -----------------------------------------------------------<br>LUC A.

The Trustee commences this adversary proceeding to avoid and recover: (a) transfers of the Debtor's property prior to the commencement of this Chapter 11 Case; and (b) transfers of property of the Debtor's chapter 11 estate after the commencement of this Chapter 11 Case and not authorized by the Bankruptcy Court or under Title 11 of the United States Code (the \"Bankruptcy Code\").\n\n2. The Debtor, through his alter ego shell companies, Greenwich Land, LLC (\"Greenwich Land\"), G Club Operations LLC (\"G Club\"), HCHK Technologies Inc. (\"HCHK Technologies\"), Lexington Property/Anthony DiBattisa (\"Lexington\") Golden Spring (New York) Limited (\"Golden Spring\"), transferred funds in the amount of \\$289,429.23 prior to the Petition Date (as defined herein) to Amazon as initial transferee.\n\n3. These transfers were actually fraudulent, because the Debtor effectuated them as part of his \"shell game,\" and they were made with the intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud the Debtor's creditors. Alternatively, these transfers were constructively fraudulent, because they were made when the Debtor was insolvent, and the Debtor did not receive reasonably equivalent value in consideration thereof.\n\n4. Following the Petition Date, the Debtor, through his alter ego shell companies, Greenwich Land, G Club, Lexington, and Golden Spring, transferred funds in the aggregate amount of \\$198,987.57 to Amazon as initial transferee.\n\n5. Because these postpetition transfers of estate property were not authorized by the Court or under the Bankruptcy Code, they are subject to avoidance and recovery under sections 549 and 550 of the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n### **JURISDICTION AND VENUE**\n\n6.

The Debtor filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on February 15, 2022 (the \"Petition Date\") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut (the \"Bankruptcy Court\"), thus commencing the Chapter 11 Case.\n\n17. On March 21, 2022, the Office of the United States Trustee appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in this Chapter 11 Case. No examiner has been appointed.\n\n18. The Debtor's bankruptcy schedules, filed in March 2022 with the Bankruptcy Court, claimed that he owned \\$3,850 in assets and had incurred hundreds of millions of dollars of liabilities.<sup>3</sup> While the Debtor was, indeed, deeply indebted, his schedules failed to disclose the Debtor's property as held and/or transferred through his many alter ego shell companies, including Greenwich Land, G Club, Lexington, HCHK Technologies and Golden Spring.\n\n19. On June 15, 2022, the Court entered a memorandum of decision and order [Main Case Docket No. 465] directing the United States Trustee to appoint a chapter 11 trustee in the\n\n<sup>3</sup> Schedule of Assets and Liabilities, at 1 [Main Case Docket No. 78].\n\nChapter 11 Case. Pursuant to this order, the United States Trustee selected Luc A. Despins as the Trustee. On July 8, 2022, the Court entered an order granting the appointment of Luc A. Despins as the Trustee in the Chapter 11 Case [Main Case Docket No. 523].\n\n#### **B. Debtor's Use of Shell Companies and Trustee's Adversary Proceedings**\n\n20. Greenwich Land, G Club, Lexington, HCHK Technologies and Golden Spring are among the numerous alter ego shell companies used by the Debtor to hinder, delay, and/or defraud his creditors.<sup>4</sup> For years, the Debtor has orchestrated a \"shell game,\" employing a convoluted web of shell companies, nominally owned by family members, lieutenants, and/or subordinates, but in reality, controlled by the Debtor. This shell game enabled the Debtor to use and spend and/or transfer millions of dollars of cash and other assets—while concealing his property from creditors.\n\n21. Since his appointment, the Trustee has commenced a number of adversary proceedings in the Chapter 11 Case to, among other things, establish that the Debtor's shell\n\n<sup>4</sup> There is a pending motion for summary judgment to determine that Greenwich Land is the alter ego of the Debtor in the adversary proceeding *Despins v. Greenwich Land, LLC* (Adv. Proc. No. 23-5005 (the \"Greenwich Land A.P.\"), Docket No. 78). The Trustee incorporates by reference herein, the Trustee's Complaint filed in the Greenwich Land A.P. (Adv. Proc. No. 23-5005, Docket No. 1).\n\nThe Trustee has or will imminently commence an adversary proceeding against G Club, which adversary proceeding seeks, among other things, a declaratory judgment that G Club was the alter ego of the Debtor. The Trustee incorporates by reference herein, the Trustee's Complaint filed in such adversary proceeding.\n\nDefault has entered against HCHK Technologies and Lexington in the adversary proceeding *Despins v. HCHK Technologies, Inc., et. al.* (Adv. Proc. No. 23-5013 (the \"HCHK Entities A.P.\"), Docket No. 139), which adversary proceeding seeks, among other things, a declaratory judgment that HCHK and Lexington were the alter egos of the Debtor. The Trustee incorporates by reference herein, the Trustee's Complaint filed in the HCHK Entities A.P. (Adv. Proc. No. 23-5013, Docket No. 1).\n\nThe Court has entered judgment to the effect that Golden Spring was the Debtor's alter ego. *See Despins v. Golden Spring (New York) Limited* (Adv. Proc. No. 23-5018 (the \"Golden Spring A.P.\"), Docket No. 35). The Trustee incorporates by reference herein, the Trustee's Complaint filed in the Golden Spring A.P. (Adv. Proc. No. 23-5018, Docket No. 1).\n\ncompanies were his alter egos and/or that such companies and their assets were equitably owned by the Debtor and in several the Bankruptcy Court has already granted such relief.<sup>5</sup>\n\n22. The fact patterns in these litigations consistently involve: (i) Debtor-controlled shell companies held by close family members and/or subordinates, (ii) assets purchased with cash from other Debtor-controlled entities and/or transferred to and among shell entities for no consideration, and (iii) the Debtor benefiting from and having control and dominion over such assets.\n\n### **C. Debtor's Conduct to Hinder, Delay, and/or Defraud Creditors**\n\n23. In addition to the matters addressed in the Trustee's adversary proceedings, the Bankruptcy Court has found that the Debtor was the beneficial owner of Ace Decade Limited (and through it, Dawn State Limited) and that the Debtor controlled and employed Ace Decade Limited's nominee shareholder, Yvette Wang.<sup>6</sup>\n\n24. The Bankruptcy Court has also found that the \"G Entities\" (Gettr, G Fashion, G Music, GClubs, GNews and GEdu), the New Federal State of China and the Rule of Law Foundation, as well as other purportedly independent entities and organizations, were controlled\n\n<sup>5</sup> These include the following adversary proceedings: (i) Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC, et al. [Adv. Proc. No. 22-05003]; (ii) Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Greenwich Land LLC, et al. [Adv.

Proc. 23- 05018]; and (vii) Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Lamp Capital LLC, et al. [Adv. Proc. 23-05023].\n\n<sup>6</sup> Order Granting Motion to Hold Debtor in Contempt of Corporate Governance Order, ¶¶ 1, 4 (Jan. 24, 2023, Docket No. 1372 (\"Corp. Governance Contempt Order\").\n\nby the Debtor<sup>7</sup> , led by the Debtor<sup>8</sup> and/or served \"the purposes of… and as business vehicles of\" the Debtor.<sup>9</sup>\n\n25. Prior to the Petition Date, Judge Liman of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York found that Eastern Profit Corporation Limited, an entity originally owned by one of the Debtor's chefs before its transfer to Debtor's daughter, was \"in essence, a shell corporation\" for the Debtor.<sup>10</sup>\n\n26. The Debtor has gone to great lengths to hinder and delay the collection efforts of one of his largest creditors, *i.e.*, Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund, L.P. (\"PAX\"). In 2017, PAX sued the Debtor in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (the \"New York Court\"), Index No. 652077/2017 (the \"PAX Case\"), seeking judgment for monies owed. On February 3, 2021, PAX obtained a judgment from the New York Court against the Debtor in the sum of \\$116,402,019.57 (the \"PAX Judgment\"). PAX sought to enforce the PAX Judgment by levying the Debtor's assets—including the Lady May, which the Debtor falsely claimed was owned by his daughter, and the Debtor's luxury apartment in Manhattan, which the Debtor falsely claimed was held in trust for the Debtor's son. The Debtor's defiance of New York Court orders in postjudgment proceedings eventually resulted in the Debtor incurring contempt penalties of \\$134 million.\n\n<sup>7</sup> *Corrected Memorandum of Decision Granting in Part Motion for Preliminary Injunction*, ¶ 3 (Adv. Proc. No. 22-05032, January 13, 2023 (\"The Debtor also controls Saraca Media Group and a related entity 'GTV'\").\n\n<sup>8</sup> *Id*. at ¶ 7 (\"The Debtor is the leader of The Whistleblower Movement, NFSC, ROLF and Himalaya.\").\n\n<sup>9</sup> *Id*.

Ltd. v. Strategic Vision US LLC*, No. 18-CV-2185 (LJL) 2021 WL 2554631, at \\*1 (S.D.N.Y. June 22, 2021).\n\n27. The Debtor also used his alter egos, including Greenwich Land, G Club, HCHK Technologies, Lexington, and Golden Spring, as personal piggy-banks, funding the lavish lifestyle to which he and his family had become accustomed, while concealing assets in these alter egos from his creditors and hindering and delaying creditors from recoveries on their claims. The transfers that the Debtor effectuated through these alter egos perpetuated the Debtor's fraudulent scheme.\n\n28. The Debtor has testified before the Bankruptcy Court that he has insufficient assets to pay his liabilities and that his luxurious lifestyle is funded by his family through businesses nominally held by family members.<sup>11</sup> The Debtor scheduled only \\$3,850 in assets.<sup>12</sup>\n\n29. In March 2023, the Debtor was arrested and remains confined pending his trial on federal criminal charges of, among other things, wire fraud, securities fraud, and money laundering.\n\n30. In its criminal indictment of the Debtor, the United States Government asserts that the Debtor and his co-defendants \"utilized more than approximately 500 accounts held in the names of *at least 80 different entities or individuals* to launder more than \\$1 billion in fraud proceeds.\"<sup>13</sup>\n\n<sup>11</sup> Hearing on Debtor's Motion for Entry of Interim and Final DIP Orders (I) Authorizing the Debtor to Obtain Unsecured, Subordinated Postpetition Financing and (II) Scheduling Interim and Final Hearings, and (III) Granting Related Relief (Main Case, April 27, 2022)\n\n<sup>12</sup> *See* n.3\n\n<sup>13</sup> *See* Memorandum of Law of the United States of America in Opposition to Defendant Yanping Wang's Motion for Pretrial Release at 29, attached as Exhibit B in the Reply of Chapter 11 Trustee to G Club Operations LLC's Supplemental Objection to Trustee's Motion to Compel and Request for Related Relief (June 23, 2023, Main Case Docket No. 1934).\n\n31. The property of the Debtor's alter egos, including Greenwich Land, G Club, Lexington, HCHK Technologies, and Golden Spring, was at all times prior to the Petition Date property of the Debtor.\n\n32. At all times relevant herein, the Debtor conducted business in New York, New York, including direction of the prepetition transfers at issue in this Complaint.\n\n#### **D. Debtor's Shell Game and Fraud Continues Postpetition**\n\n33. As of the Petition Date, all of the Debtor's property held through his alter egos, including Greenwich Land, G Club, Lexington, HCHK Technologies, and Golden Spring, became property of the chapter 11 estate. *See* 11 U.S.C. § 541(a)(1).\n\n34. Following the Petition Date, the Debtor, with blatant disregard for the Bankruptcy Court and his obligations under the Bankruptcy Code, continued to effectuate transfers through numerous alter ego shell companies, including, without limitation, Greenwich Land, G Club, Lexington, and Golden Spring.\n\n35. None of these postpetition transfers were authorized by the Bankruptcy Court nor were such transfers authorized under the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n#### **E. Transfers Made with Intent to Hinder, Delay, or Defraud Creditors**\n\n36. The Transfers at issue in this Complaint were made with the intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud the Debtor's creditors inasmuch as they were all made through the Debtor's alter ego shell companies operated as a part of the Debtor's shell game.\n\n37. The Debtor intentionally orchestrated his financial affairs in this manner in order to conceal and dissipate millions of dollars in assets while falsely pleading poverty to his many creditors. The Debtor claimed to be destitute while simultaneously spending heavily to maintain a billionaire lifestyle for himself and for his family members and close associates.\n\n38. The assets concealed and dissipated by the Debtor included funds that he obtained from the victims of his cryptocurrency, securities, and other fraud schemes. As a result of this conduct, the Debtor faces multiple felony fraud, money laundering, and racketeering charges in a criminal case pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. *See United States v. Ho Wan Kwok*, case no. 1:23-cr-00118-AT [ECF No. 215] (Jan. 3, 2024 S.D.N.Y.).\n\n39. The Debtor knew and intended that by concealing and dissipating his assets in this manner there would not be sufficient assets remaining to repay his creditors—including the many victims of his frauds. These transfers were thus necessarily made with the intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud the Debtor's creditors.\n\n40. Among the practices of the Debtor's shell game was the issuance of debit cards funded by the Debtor's assets owned through his alter egos (the \"Debit Cards\"). The Debit Cards were issued to the Beneficiary Defendants, as well as other members of the Debtor's immediate family, the Debtor's personal employees, and the Debtor's subordinates who assisted in the conduct of his financial affairs (*e.g.*, Yanping Wang).\n\n41. All of the foregoing persons were either complicit or actively participated in the Debtor's shell game, including by serving as nominal owners and/or holding other positions in the Debtor's alter ego shell companies.\n\n42. The Debtor permitted the Beneficiary Defendants to use the Debit Cards to enrich themselves and to dissipate property held through the Debtor's shell companies.\n\n43. The transfers to Amazon which are at issue in this case were in part effectuated through the use of these Debit Cards by the Beneficiary Defendants (the \"Beneficial Transfers\").\n\n### **F. Transfers to Amazon**\n\n44. Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor, using his alter ego shell companies Greenwich Land, G Club, Lexington, HCHK Technologies and Golden Spring, or otherwise, transferred the Debtor's property to Amazon (collectively, the \"Prepetition Transfers\"), including, without limitation, as follows:\n\nSee **SCHEDULE A** attached hereto and made a part hereof.\n\n45. Subsequent to the Petition Date, the Debtor, through his shell companies, Greenwich Land, G Club, Lexington, and Golden Spring, or otherwise, transferred property of the estate to Amazon (collectively, the \"Postpetition Transfers\"), including, without limitation, as follows:\n\nSee **SCHEDULE B** attached hereto and made a part hereof.\n\n46. At the time of the Prepetition Transfers and the Postpetition Transfers (collectively,\n\nthe \"Transfers\"), the Debtor had outstanding obligations to creditors of the Debtor's estate.\n\n47. Amazon was the initial transferee of the Transfers.\n\n#### **FIRST CLAIM**\n\n### **(Claim Against Amazon to Avoid and Recover Against Amazon Actual Fraudulent Transfers Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 548(a)(1)(A) and 550(a))**\n\n48. The Trustee repeats and realleges the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-42 as if fully set forth herein.\n\n49. The Prepetition Transfers were made by the Debtor through his alter egos, Greenwich Land, G Club, Lexington, HCHK Technologies and Golden Spring, with the actual intent to hinder, delay and/or defraud his creditors.\n\n50. The Debtor's intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud his creditors in effectuating the Prepetition Transfers is shown by, among other things:\n\na. The Prepetition Transfers were effectuated using an alter ego shell company;\n\nb. The Prepetition Transfers were concealed from the Debtor's creditors;\n\nc. The Prepetition Transfers were effectuated as part of the Debtor's \"shell game\" with the aid of the Debtor's family members and other lieutenants and subordinates that he controlled in an effort to conceal and shield assets;\n\nd. The Prepetition Transfers furthered the Debtor's fraudulent conduct by enabling the Debtor to benefit from his fraud without subjecting his property to the reach of his creditors;\n\ne. The Prepetition Transfers furthered the Debtor's fraudulent conduct by enabling the Debtor to profit from his fraud without subjecting his property to the reach of his creditors;\n\nf. At the time of the Prepetition Transfers, the Debtor was being sued, including by PAX in the PAX Case; and\n\ng. At the time of the Prepetition Transfers, the Debtor was insolvent or undercapitalized.\n\n51. The Prepetition Transfers are avoidable by the Trustee pursuant to section 548(a)(i)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code and are recoverable pursuant to section 550(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n### **SECOND CLAIM**\n\n### **(Claim Against Amazon to Avoid and Recover Actual Fraudulent Transfers pursuant to N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law sections 273, 274, and 276, and Bankruptcy Code sections 544(b) and 550(a))**\n\n52. The Trustee repeats and realleges the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-42 as if fully set forth herein.\n\n53. The Prepetition Transfers were made by the Debtor, through his alter egos, Greenwich Land, G Club, Lexington, HCHK Technologies and Golden Spring, with the actual intent to hinder, delay and/or defraud his creditors.\n\n54. The Debtor's intent to hinder, delay, and/or defraud his creditors in effectuating the Prepetition Transfers is shown by, among other things:\n\na. The Prepetition Transfers were effectuated using an alter ego shell company;\n\nb. The Prepetition Transfers were concealed from the Debtor's creditors;\n\nc. The Prepetition Transfers were effectuated as part of the Debtor's \"shell game\" with the aid of the Debtor's family members and other lieutenants and subordinates that he controlled in an effort to conceal and shield assets;\n\nd. The Prepetition Transfers furthered the Debtor's fraudulent conduct by enabling the Debtor to benefit from his fraud without subjecting his property to the reach of his creditors;\n\ne. The Prepetition Transfers furthered the Debtor's fraudulent conduct by enabling the Debtor to profit from his fraud without subjecting his property to the reach of his creditors;\n\nf. At the time of the Prepetition Transfers, the Debtor was being sued, including by PAX in the PAX Case; and\n\ng. At the time of the Prepetition Transfers, the Debtor was insolvent or undercapitalized.\n\n55. The Prepetition Transfers are avoidable by the Trustee pursuant to N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law sections 273(a)(1), 274, and 276, and section 544(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and recoverable pursuant to section 550(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n#### **THIRD CLAIM**\n\n### **(Claim Against Amazon to Avoid and Recover Constructive Fraudulent Transfers Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 548(a)(1)(B) and 550(a))**\n\n56. The Trustee repeats and realleges the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-42 as if fully set forth herein.\n\n57. The Debtor received less than a reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the Prepetition Transfers.\n\n58. At the time of the Prepetition Transfers, the Debtor was insolvent or became insolvent as a result of the Prepetition Transfers.\n\n59. At the time of the Prepetition Transfers, the Debtor was engaged in a business or transaction, or was about to engage in a business or transaction, for which any property remaining with the Debtor was an unreasonably small amount of capital.\n\n60. At the time of the Prepetition Transfers, the Debtor intended to incur or believed he would incur, debts that would be beyond his ability to pay as such debts matured.\n\n61. The Prepetition Transfers constitute fraudulent transfers and are avoidable by the Trustee pursuant to section 548(a)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code and are recoverable pursuant to section 550(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n### **FOURTH CLAIM**\n\n### **(Claim Against Amazon to Avoid and Recover Constructive Fraudulent Transfers Pursuant to N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law sections 273(a)(2), 274 and 276 and Bankruptcy Code sections 544(b) and 550(a))**\n\n62. The Trustee repeats and realleges the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-42 as if fully set forth herein.\n\n63. The Debtor did not receive reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the Prepetition Transfers.\n\n64. At the time of the Prepetition Transfers, the Debtor was insolvent or the Debtor became insolvent as a result of the Prepetition Transfers.\n\n65. At the time of the Prepetition Transfers, the Debtor was engaged in a business or transaction, or was about to engage in a business or transaction which any property remaining with the Debtor was an unreasonably small amount of capital.\n\n66. At the time of the Prepetition Transfers, the Debtor intended to incur, or believed or reasonably should have believed that he would incur, debts that would be beyond his ability to pay as such debt matured.\n\n67. The Prepetition Transfers are avoidable by the Trustee pursuant to N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law sections 273(a)(2), 274 and 276 and section 544(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and are recoverable pursuant to section 550(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n#### **FIFTH CLAIM**\n\n### **(Claim Against Amazon to Avoid and Recover Unauthorized Postpetition Transfers pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 549 and 550(a))**\n\n68. The Trustee repeats and realleges the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-42 as if fully set forth herein.\n\n69. The Postpetition Transfers were made to Amazon by the Debtor, including through his alter ego shell companies, Greenwich Land, G Club, Lexington, and Golden Spring.\n\n70. The Postpetition Transfers occurred after the Petition Date.\n\n71. The Postpetition Transfers were not authorized by the Bankruptcy Court or by the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n72. The Postpetition Transfers constituted the unauthorized transfer of property of the Debtor's chapter 11 estate.\n\n73. The Postpetition Transfers are avoidable pursuant to section 549(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.\n\n74. Pursuant to section 550(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Trustee is entitled to recover the Postpetition Transfers, or the value thereof, from Amazon plus interest thereon to the date of payment and the costs of this action.\n\n#### **SIXTH CLAIM**\n\n### **(Claim Against Beneficiary Defendants to Recover Transfers for the Benefit of the Beneficiary Defendants Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 550(a))**\n\n75. The Trustee repeats and realleges the allegations contained in paragraphs 1-42 as if fully set forth herein.\n\n76. The Beneficiary Defendants were the parties for whose benefit the Beneficial Transfers were made, because such transfers enabled the Beneficiary Defendants to make purchases of goods or services from Amazon using Debit Cards for their own personal benefit.\n\n77. Specifically, the Beneficiary Defendants received benefits in the amounts of \\$62,768.83 as to Ngok, \\$152,482.48 as to Hadjicharalambous, \\$28,866.93 as to Han, \\$112,599.86 as to Enriquez, and \\$27,716.25 as to Guo, as a result of their Amazon purchases.\n\n78. To the extent that the Beneficial Transfers are avoided, without waiver of the Trustee's claims to recover the value from Amazon, the Beneficial Transfers are recoverable against the Beneficiary Defendants.\n\n*[THE REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY BLANK.]*\n\n#### **PRAYER FOR RELIEF**\n\nWHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, the Trustee respectfully requests that judgment be entered as follows:\n\n1.

Despins 以在 Ho Wan Kwok（“债务人”或“郭”）的第11章案件（“第11章案件”）中被任命的第11章受托人（“受托人”）身份，提交本\n\n1 这些第11章案件中的债务人包括 Ho Wan Kwok（亦称郭文贵、Miles Guo 和 Miles Kwok，以及其他众多化名）（税号后四位：9595）、Genever Holdings LLC（税号后四位：8202）和 Genever Holdings Corporation。受托人、Genever Holdings LLC 和 Genever Holdings Corporation 的邮寄地址为 Paul Hastings LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166 c/o Luc A. Despins, as Trustee for the Estate of Ho Wan Kwok（仅用于送达通知和通信目的）。\n\n针对被告 Amazon.com, Inc.（“亚马逊”）以及 Hing Chi Ngok（Ngok）、Alex Hadjicharalambous（Hadjicharalambous）、Bernardo Enriquez（Enriquez）、Chunguang Han（Han）和 Mei Guo（Guo）（合称“受益人被告”，并与亚马逊合称“各被告”）的对抗性起诉状（“起诉状”），陈述如下：\n\n诉讼性质\n\n1. 受托人提起本对抗性诉讼，旨在撤销并追回：(a) 债务人在本第11章案件启动之前对其财产的转让；以及 (b) 在本第11章案件启动之后对债务人第11章破产财产的转让，且该等转让未经破产法院或《美国法典》第11编（“破产法典”）授权。\n\n2. 债务人通过其作为替身的空壳公司 Greenwich Land, LLC（“Greenwich Land”）、G Club Operations LLC（“G Club”）、HCHK Technologies Inc.（“HCHK Technologies”）、Lexington Property/Anthony DiBattisa（“Lexington”）、Golden Spring (New York) Limited（“Golden Spring”），在申请日（定义见下文）前将金额为 $289,429.23 的资金转让给了作为最初受让人的亚马逊。\n\n3. 这些转让构成实际欺诈性转让，因为债务人实施这些转让是其“障眼法骗局”的一部分，且其做出转让时具有阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债务人债权人的意图。或者，这些转让构成推定欺诈性转让，因为转让是在债务人无力偿债时做出的，且债务人未收到与之合理相当的价值作为对价。\n\n4. 申请日之后，债务人通过其作为替身的空壳公司 Greenwich Land、G Club、Lexington 和 Golden Spring，将总金额为 $198,987.57 的资金转让给了作为最初受让人的亚马逊。\n\n5. 由于对破产财产的这些申请后转让未经法院或破产法典授权，因此依据破产法典第549条和第550条，该等转让应予撤销和追回。\n\n管辖权与审理地\n\n6. 依据 28 U.S.C. § 1334(b)，本法院对本对抗性诉讼享有标的管辖权。\n\n7. 本对抗性诉讼已依据 28 U.S.C. § 157(a) 移送至本法院。\n\n8. 本文所请求救济的法定依据包括破产法典第544、547、548、549和550条，以及纽约州《债务人与债权人法》第273、274和276条，或任何其他适用的具有等同效力的州法律规定。\n\n当事人\n\n9. 依据破产法院于2022年7月8日作出的命令 [案号 22-50073（“主案”）案卷号 523]，受托人为该第11章案件中的第11章受托人。\n\n10. Amazon（亚马逊）是一家Delaware（特拉华州）公司，地址位于 410 Terry Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98109。\n\n11. Ngok（岳）为个人，居住于 373 Taconic Road, Greenwich, Connecticut 06831。\n\n2 凡提及《New York Debtor and Creditor Law（纽约州债务人与债权人法）》的法定引述，下文均简称为「N.Y. Debt. & Cred.

Debt. & Cred. Law 第 273、273a、275、276 及 278 条寻求救济。\n\n12. Hadjicharalambous 为个人，居住于 2318 28th Street, Astoria, New York 11105。\n\n13. Enriquez 为个人，居住于 5830 Penrod Street # 1, Corona, New York 11368。\n\n14. Han（韩）为个人，居住于 920 Belmont Ave Apt 3104, North Haledon, New Jersey 07508。\n\n15. Guo（郭）为个人，居住于 492 Broome Street, Apartment 3, New York, NY 10013。\n事实\nA. 第11章破产案件\n\n16. 债务人于 2022年2月15日（「申请日」）向 United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut（美国康涅狄格区破产法院）（「破产法院」）提交了根据《破产法典》第11章寻求救济的自愿申请书，从而启动了本第11章案件。\n\n17. 2022年3月21日，Office of the United States Trustee（美国联邦破产受托人办公室）在本第11章案件中指定了无担保债权人官方委员会。尚未指定任何调查员。\n\n18. 债务人于 2022年3月 向破产法院提交的破产财产明细表声称其拥有 $3,850 的资产，并背负了数亿美元的负债。3 虽然债务人确实债台高筑，但其财产明细表未能披露债务人通过其众多实质替身壳公司（包括 Greenwich Land、G Club、Lexington、HCHK Technologies 及 Golden Spring）持有和/或转让的财产。\n\n19. 2022年6月15日，法院作出一项裁决备忘录与命令 [主案卷宗号 465]，指示美国联邦破产受托人在本\n\n3 资产与负债明细表，第 1 页 [主案卷宗号 78]。\n\n第11章案件中指定一名第11章受托人。根据该命令，美国联邦破产受托人选定 Luc A. Despins 为受托人。2022年7月8日，法院作出裁定，准予指定 Luc A. Despins 为本第11章案件的受托人 [主案卷宗号 523]。\nB. 债务人对壳公司的使用及受托人的对抗制诉讼\n\n20. Greenwich Land、G Club、Lexington、HCHK Technologies 及 Golden Spring 属于债务人用来阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的众多实质替身壳公司。4 多年来，债务人精心策划了一场「壳牌骗局」，利用错综复杂的壳公司网络，这些公司名义上归其家族成员、心腹和/或下属所有，但实际上由债务人控制。这场壳牌骗局使债务人得以使用、花费和/或转让数以百万美元计的现金及其他资产——同时向债权人隐瞒其财产。\n\n21. 自获指定以来，受托人已在第11章案件中提起了多起对抗制诉讼，其中包括为了确立债务人的壳\n\n4 在 Despins v. Greenwich Land, LLC 对抗制诉讼（对抗制诉讼案号 23-5005（「Greenwich Land 对抗制诉讼」），卷宗号 78）中，存在一项悬而未决的即决判决动议，以认定 Greenwich Land 是债务人的实质替身。受托人特此将 Greenwich Land 对抗制诉讼中提交的受托人起诉书（对抗制诉讼案号 23-5005，卷宗号 1）通过援引纳入本文。\n\n受托人已经或即将对 G Club 提起对抗制诉讼，该对抗制诉讼请求（除其他事项外）作出确认判决，确认 G Club 是债务人的实质替身。受托人特此将在此类对抗制诉讼中提交的受托人起诉书通过援引纳入本文。\n\n在 Despins v. HCHK Technologies, Inc., et. al. 对抗制诉讼（对抗制诉讼案号 23-5013（「HCHK 实体对抗制诉讼」），卷宗号 139）中，已对 HCHK Technologies 和 Lexington 作出缺席判决，该对抗制诉讼请求（除其他事项外）作出确认判决，确认 HCHK 和 Lexington 是债务人的实质替身。受托人特此将 HCHK 实体对抗制诉讼中提交的受托人起诉书（对抗制诉讼案号 23-5013，卷宗号 1）通过援引纳入本文。\n\n法院已作出实质判定 Golden Spring 为债务人实质替身的判决。参见 Despins v. Golden Spring (New York) Limited（对抗制诉讼案号 23-5018（「Golden Spring 对抗制诉讼」），卷宗号 35）。受托人特此将 Golden Spring 对抗制诉讼中提交的受托人起诉书（对抗制诉讼案号 23-5018，卷宗号 1）通过援引纳入本文。\n\n公司为其自身的实质替身，和/或此类公司及其资产在衡平法上归债务人所有，且在其中数起诉讼中破产法院已批准了此类救济。5\n\n22. 这些诉讼中的事实模式始终包括：(i) 由近亲属和/或下属持有的债务人控制的壳公司，(ii) 用来自其他债务人控制实体的现金购买的和/或在无对价情况下转让给壳实体并在其间流转的资产，以及 (iii) 债务人从这些资产中获益并对其拥有控制权和支配权。\nC. 债务人阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债权人的行为\n\n23. 除受托人对抗制诉讼中涉及的事项外，破产法院已认定债务人是 Ace Decade Limited（并由此控制 Dawn State Limited）的实益拥有人，且债务人控制并雇用了 Ace Decade Limited 的名义股东 Yvette Wang（王雁平）。6\n\n24. 破产法院还认定，「G 系列实体」（Gettr、G Fashion、G Music、GClubs、GNews 及 GEdu）、New Federal State of China（新中国联邦）和 Rule of Law Foundation（法治基金），以及其他据称独立的实体和组织，均由\n\n5 其中包括以下对抗制诉讼：(i) Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC, et al. [对抗制诉讼案号 22-05003]；(ii) Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Greenwich Land LLC, et al. [对抗制诉讼案号 23-05005]；(iii) Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Mei Guo [对抗制诉讼案号 23-05008]；(iv) Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. HCHK Technologies, Inc., et al. [对抗制诉讼案号 23-05013]；(v) Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Taurus Fund LLC, et al. [对抗制诉讼案号 23-05017]；(vi) Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Golden Spring (New York) Limited [对抗制诉讼案号 23-05018]；以及 (vii) Luc A. Despins, Chapter 11 Trustee v. Lamp Capital LLC, et al. [对抗制诉讼案号 23-05023]。\n\n6 准予认定债务人藐视公司治理命令动议的裁定，第 1、4 段（2023年1月24日，卷宗号 1372（「公司治理藐视命令」））。\n\n债务人控制7、由债务人领导8，和/或「为债务人之目的……并作为其商业工具」服务。9\n\n25. 在申请日之前，United States District Court for the Southern District of New York（美国纽约南区联邦地区法院）的 Liman 法官认定 Eastern Profit Corporation Limited（一家在转让给债务人女儿之前原归债务人的一名厨师所有的实体）「本质上是债务人的壳公司」。10\n\n26. 债务人竭尽全力阻碍和拖延其最大债权人之一即 Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund, L.P.（「PAX」）的追索工作。2017年，PAX 在 Supreme Court of the State of New York（纽约州最高法院）（「纽约州法院」）起诉债务人，索引号 652077/2017（「PAX 案」），就所欠款项寻求判决。2021年2月3日，PAX 从纽约州法院获得了针对债务人的金额为 $116,402,019.57 的判决（「PAX 判决」）。PAX 试图通过扣押债务人的资产来执行 PAX 判决——包括 Lady May（梅号游艇），债务人曾虚假声称该游艇归其女儿所有；以及位于曼哈顿的债务人豪华公寓，债务人曾虚假声称该公寓是为其儿子设立信托持有的。债务人在判决后程序中对纽约州法院命令的公然抗拒，最终导致债务人被处以 1.34亿美元 的藐视法庭罚款。\n\n7 准予部分初步禁令动议的更正裁决备忘录，第 3 段（对抗制诉讼案号 22-05032，2023年1月13日（「债务人还控制 Saraca Media Group 以及相关实体『GTV』」））。\n\n8 同上，第 7 段（「债务人是爆料革命、NFSC、ROLF 和喜马拉雅的领导人。」）。\n\n9 同上（「爆料革命、NFSC、ROLF、G系列和喜马拉雅为债务人的目的服务，作为债务人的商业工具，且其成员对债务人个人效忠。」）。\n\n10 Eastern Profit Corp. Ltd. v. Strategic Vision US LLC, 案号 18-CV-2185 (LJL) 2021 WL 2554631, 第 *1 页 (S.D.N.Y. 2021年6月22日)。\n\n27. 债务人还将包括 Greenwich Land、G Club、HCHK Technologies、Lexington 和 Golden Spring 在内的其实质替身作为个人储蓄罐，为其本人及其家庭已经习惯的奢华生活方式提供资金，同时向其债权人隐瞒这些实质替身中的资产，并阻碍和拖延债权人收回其债权。债务人通过这些实质替身实施的转让，延续了债务人的欺诈计划。\n\n28. 债务人曾在破产法院作证称，其资产不足以偿还其债务，其奢华的生活方式是由其家人通过名义上由家族成员持有的企业提供资金的。11 债务人在财产明细表中仅列出了 $3,850 的资产。12\n\n29. 2023年3月，债务人被捕，目前仍被羁押，等待就包括电汇欺诈、证券欺诈和洗钱等指控在内的联邦刑事罪名受审。\n\n30. 在针对债务人的刑事起诉书中，美国联邦政府指控债务人及其同案被告「利用以至少80个不同实体或个人名义持有的500多个账户，清洗了超过10亿美元的欺诈所得。」13\n\n11 债务人关于准予债务人获得无担保、次级申请后融资的临时及最终 DIP 命令并安排临时和最终听证会及准予相关救济的动议听证会（主案，2022年4月27日）\n\n12 参见 注3\n\n13 参见 美利坚合众国反对被告 Yanping Wang（王雁平）审前释放动议的法律备忘录 第 29 页，附于第11章受托人对 G Club Operations LLC 就受托人强制作出答复之动议及相关救济请求所提补充异议的答辩状之附件 B（2023年6月23日，主案卷宗号 1934）。\n\n31. 债务人各实质替身（包括 Greenwich Land、G Club、Lexington、HCHK Technologies 及 Golden Spring）的财产，在申请日之前的所有时间内始终属于债务人的财产。\n\n32. 在本文涉及的所有相关时间内，债务人在 New York, New York（纽约州纽约市）开展业务，包括指挥本起诉书所涉的申请前转让。\nD. 债务人的壳牌骗局与欺诈在申请后仍在继续\n\n33. 截至申请日，债务人通过其实质替身（包括 Greenwich Land、G Club、Lexington、HCHK Technologies 及 Golden Spring）持有的所有财产，均已成为第11章破产财产。参见 11 U.S.C. § 541(a)(1)。\n\n34. 申请日之后，债务人公然无视破产法院及其在《破产法典》项下的义务，继续通过众多实质替身壳公司（包括但不限于 Greenwich Land、G Club、Lexington 及 Golden Spring）实施转让。\n\n35. 这些申请后转让均未获得 Bankruptcy Court（破产法院）的授权，亦未根据 Bankruptcy Code（《破产法典》）获得授权。\nE. 意图阻碍、拖延或欺诈债权人而进行的转让\n\n36. 本诉状中涉案的转让均具有阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈 Debtor（债务人）债权人的意图，因为这些转让全部是通过作为债务人“皮包把戏”一部分运作的债务人另我（alter ego）壳公司进行的。\n\n37. 债务人故意以这种方式安排其财务事务，以便在向其众多债权人虚假哭穷的同时隐匿并挥霍数百万美元的资产。债务人声称自己身无分文，同时却大肆挥霍，为自己及其家庭成员和密友维持亿万富翁般的生活方式。\n\n38. 债务人隐匿并挥霍的资产包括其从加密货币、证券及其他欺诈计划的受害者处获得的资金。由于这一行为，债务人在 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York（美国纽约南区联邦地区法院）审理的一起刑事案件中面临多项重罪欺诈、洗钱和敲诈勒索指控。参见 United States v. Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵），案号 1:23-cr-00118-AT [ECF No. 215] (Jan. 3, 2024 S.D.N.Y.)。\n\n39. 债务人明知并意图通过以此种方式隐匿和挥霍其资产，将导致没有足够的剩余资产来偿还其债权人——包括其欺诈行为的众多受害者。因此，这些转让必然是出于阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈债务人债权人的意图而进行的。\n\n40. 债务人“皮包把戏”的做法之一，是通过其另我所拥有的债务人资产提供资金来发行借记卡（即“借记卡”）。这些借记卡被发放给 Beneficiary Defendants（受益人被告），以及债务人的其他直系亲属、债务人的私人雇员以及协助处理其财务事务的债务人下属（例如 Yanping Wang（王雁平））。\n\n41. 上述所有人员要么同谋，要么积极参与了债务人的“皮包把戏”，包括在债务人的另我壳公司中担任名义所有人及/或担任其他职位。\n\n42. 债务人允许受益人被告使用借记卡使自身发财，并挥霍通过债务人壳公司持有的财产。\n\n43. 本案涉案的向 Amazon（亚马逊）进行的转让，部分是通过受益人被告使用这些借记卡实施的（即“受益转让”）。\nF. 向亚马逊进行的转让\n\n44. 在 Petition Date（申请日）之前，债务人使用其另我壳公司 Greenwich Land、G Club、Lexington、HCHK Technologies 和 Golden Spring 或以其他方式，将债务人的财产转让给亚马逊（统称为“申请前转让”），包括但不限于以下各项：\n\n参见作为本诉状附件并构成本诉状一部分的附表 A（SCHEDULE A）。\n\n45. 在申请日之后，债务人通过其壳公司 Greenwich Land、G Club、Lexington 和 Golden Spring 或以其他方式，将破产财产转让给亚马逊（统称为“申请后转让”），包括但不限于以下各项：\n\n参见作为本诉状附件并构成本诉状一部分的附表 B（SCHEDULE B）。\n\n46. 在进行申请前转让和申请后转让（统称为“转让”）时，债务人对债务人破产财产的债权人负有未清偿的债务。\n\n47. 亚马逊是转让的初始受让人。\n第一项权利主张\n（根据《破产法典》第 548(a)(1)(A) 条和第 550(a) 条对亚马逊主张撤销并向亚马逊追回实际欺诈性转让的权利主张）\n\n48. Trustee（受托人）在此重申并再次主张第 1-42 段中包含的指控，如同在此处完整陈述一样。\n\n49. 申请前转让是债务人通过其另我 Greenwich Land、G Club、Lexington、HCHK Technologies 和 Golden Spring 进行的，具有阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的实际意图。\n\n50. 债务人在实施申请前转让时阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的意图由以下各项等予以证明：\n\na. 申请前转让是使用另我壳公司实施的；\n\nb. 申请前转让对债务人的债权人进行了隐匿；\n\nc. 申请前转让是作为债务人“皮包把戏”的一部分，在债务人家庭成员及其控制的其他亲信和下属的协助下实施的，旨在隐匿和屏蔽资产；\n\nd. 申请前转让通过使债务人从其欺诈中受益而不使其财产落入其债权人的追索范围，推进了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\ne. 申请前转让通过使债务人从其欺诈中获利而不使其财产落入其债权人的追索范围，推进了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\nf. 在进行申请前转让时，债务人正被起诉，包括在 PAX 案中被 PAX 起诉；以及\n\ng. 在进行申请前转让时，债务人已无力偿债或资本不足。\n\n51. 根据《破产法典》第 548(a)(1)(A) 条，受托人可撤销申请前转让，并根据《破产法典》第 550(a) 条予以追回。\n第二项权利主张\n（根据 N.Y. Debt. & Cred. Law（《纽约州债务人与债权人法》）第 273、274 和 276 条以及《破产法典》第 544(b) 和 550(a) 条对亚马逊主张撤销并追回实际欺诈性转让的权利主张）\n\n52. 受托人在此重申并再次主张第 1-42 段中包含的指控，如同在此处完整陈述一样。\n\n53. 申请前转让是债务人通过其另我 Greenwich Land、G Club、Lexington、HCHK Technologies 和 Golden Spring 进行的，具有阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的实际意图。\n\n54. 债务人在实施申请前转让时阻碍、拖延和/或欺诈其债权人的意图由以下各项等予以证明：\n\na. 申请前转让是使用另我壳公司实施的；\n\nb. 申请前转让对债务人的债权人进行了隐匿；\n\nc. 申请前转让是作为债务人“皮包把戏”的一部分，在债务人家庭成员及其控制的其他亲信和下属的协助下实施的，旨在隐匿和屏蔽资产；\n\nd. 申请前转让通过使债务人从其欺诈中受益而不使其财产落入其债权人的追索范围，推进了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\ne. 申请前转让通过使债务人从其欺诈中获利而不使其财产落入其债权人的追索范围，推进了债务人的欺诈行为；\n\nf. 在进行申请前转让时，债务人正被起诉，包括在 PAX 案中被 PAX 起诉；以及\n\ng. 在进行申请前转让时，债务人已无力偿债或资本不足。\n\n55. 根据《纽约州债务人与债权人法》第 273(a)(1)、274 和 276 条以及《破产法典》第 544(b) 条，受托人可撤销申请前转让，并根据《破产法典》第 550(a) 条予以追回。\n第三项权利主张\n（根据《破产法典》第 548(a)(1)(B) 条和第 550(a) 条对亚马逊主张撤销并追回推定欺诈性转让的权利主张）\n\n56. 受托人在此重申并再次主张第 1-42 段中包含的指控，如同在此处完整陈述一样。\n\n57. 债务人在申请前转让中收到的对价低于合理等值价值。\n\n58. 在进行申请前转让时，债务人已无力偿债，或因申请前转让而变得无力偿债。\n\n59. 在进行申请前转让时，债务人正在从事某项业务或交易，或即将从事某项业务或交易，而对于该等业务或交易而言，债务人保留的任何财产均属于不合理微小的资本量。\n\n60. 在进行申请前转让时，债务人意图承担、或相信自己将承担超出其在该等债务到期时清偿能力的债务。\n\n61. 申请前转让构成欺诈性转让，受托人可根据《破产法典》第 548(a)(1)(B) 条予以撤销，并可根据《破产法典》第 550(a) 条予以追回。\n第四项权利主张\n（根据《纽约州债务人与债权人法》第 273(a)(2)、274 和 276 条以及《破产法典》第 544(b) 和 550(a) 条对亚马逊主张撤销并追回推定欺诈性转让的权利主张）\n\n62. 受托人在此重申并再次主张第 1-42 段中包含的指控，如同在此处完整陈述一样。\n\n63. 债务人在申请前转让中未收到合理等值价值。\n\n64. 在进行申请前转让时，债务人已无力偿债，或债务人因申请前转让而变得无力偿债。\n\n65. 在进行申请前转让时，债务人正在从事某项业务或交易，或即将从事某项业务或交易，而对于该等业务或交易而言，债务人保留的任何财产均属于不合理微小的资本量。\n\n66. 在进行申请前转让时，债务人意图承担、或相信或合理应当相信自己将承担超出其在该等债务到期时清偿能力的债务。\n\n67. 根据《纽约州债务人与债权人法》第 273(a)(2)、274 和 276 条以及《破产法典》第 544(b) 条，受托人可撤销申请前转让，并根据《破产法典》第 550(a) 条予以追回。\n第五项权利主张\n（根据《破产法典》第 549 条和第 550(a) 条对亚马逊主张撤销并追回未经授权的申请后转让的权利主张）\n\n68. 受托人在此重申并再次主张第 1-42 段中包含的指控，如同在此处完整陈述一样。\n\n69. 申请后转让是由债务人向亚马逊进行的，包括通过其另我壳公司 Greenwich Land、G Club、Lexington 和 Golden Spring。\n\n70. 申请后转让发生在申请日之后。\n\n71. 申请后转让未获得破产法院或《破产法典》的授权。\n\n72. 申请后转让构成了对债务人第 11 章破产财产的未经授权转让。\n\n73. 根据《破产法典》第 549(a) 条，申请后转让可予撤销。\n\n74. 根据《破产法典》第 550(a) 条，受托人有权向亚马逊追回申请后转让或其价值，加上截至付款之日的利息以及本诉讼的诉讼费用。\n第六项权利主张\n（根据《破产法典》第 550(a) 条对受益人被告主张追回为受益人被告利益而进行的转让的权利主张）\n\n75. 受托人在此重申并再次主张第 1-42 段中包含的指控，如同在此处完整陈述一样。\n\n76. 受益人被告是受益转让为其利益而进行的当事方，因为该等转让使受益人被告能够使用借记卡从亚马逊购买商品或服务以谋取其个人利益。\n\n77. 具体而言，由于其在亚马逊的购买行为，受益人被告获得的利益金额分别为：Ngok（岳）$62,768.83、Hadjicharalambous $152,482.48、Han（韩）$28,866.93、Enriquez $112,599.86 以及 Guo（郭）$27,716.25。\n\n78. 在受益转让被撤销的范围内，在不放弃受托人向亚马逊追回该价值之主张的前提下，受益转让可向受益人被告追回。\n\n[此页其余部分特意留白。]\n判决请求\n\n有鉴于此，基于前述理由，受托人谨请求作出如下判决：\n\n1. 就第一项主张：(a) 依据《破产法》（Bankruptcy Code）第 548(a)(1)(A) 条宣告撤销金额不少于 $289,429.23 的申请前转让（Prepetition Transfers）的命令；(b) 指示撤销该等申请前转让的命令；以及 (c) 依据《破产法》第 550(a)(1) 条，为债务人破产财产（Debtor's estate）的利益，由受托人（Trustee）选择从 Amazon（亚马逊）追回该等申请前转让或其价值；\n\n2. 就第二项主张：(a) 依据《破产法》第 544(b) 条及《纽约州债务人与债权人法》（N.Y.
