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### SCHEDULE 1\n\nACA Capital Group Ltd., Alfa Global Ventures Limited, Alfonso Global Ventures Limited, Anton Development Limited, Bravo Luck Limited, Celestial Tide Limited, China Golden Spring Group (Hong Kong) Ltd., Eastern Profit Corporation Limited, Freedom Media Ventures Limited, G Club International Limited, G Club Operations LLC, G Fashion (CA), G Fashion Hold Co A Limited, G Fashion Hold Co B Limited, G Fashion International Limited, GFashion Media Group Inc., G Music LLC, GF IP, LLC, GF Italy, LLC, GFNY, Inc., Hamilton Capital Holding Limited, Hamilton Investment Management Limited, Hamilton Opportunity Fund SPC, Haoran He, Himalaya Currency Clearing Pty Ltd., Himalaya International Clearing Limited, Himalaya International Financial Group Limited, Himalaya International Payments Limited, Himalaya International Reserves Limited, Jovial Century International Limited, K Legacy Ltd., Karin Maistrello, Leading Shine Limited, Major Lead International Limited, Mei Guo, Next Tycoon Investments Limited, Qiang Guo, Rule of Law Foundation III, Inc., Rule of Law Society IV, Inc., Saraca Media Group, Inc., Seven Mission Group LLC, William Je, Wise Creation International Limited\n\n## SCHEDULE 2\n\n## **Bravo Luck Limited**\n\n**Joanna J.

Despins, in his capacity as the chapter 11 trustee (the \"Trustee\") appointed in the chapter 11 case (the \"Chapter 11 Case\") of Ho Wan Kwok (the \"Debtor\" or \"Kwok\"), files this adversary complaint (the \"Complaint\") against defendants: ACA Capital Group Ltd., Alfa Global Ventures Limited, Alfonso Global Ventures Limited, Anton Development Limited, Bravo Luck Limited, Celestial Tide Limited, China Golden Spring Group (Hong Kong) Ltd., Eastern Profit Corporation Limited, Freedom Media Ventures Limited, G Club International Limited, G Club Operations LLC, G Fashion (CA), G Fashion Hold Co A Limited, G Fashion Hold Co B Limited, G Fashion International Limited, GFashion Media Group Inc., G Music LLC, GF IP, LLC, GF Italy, LLC, GFNY, Inc., Hamilton Capital Holding Limited, Hamilton Investment Management Limited, Hamilton Opportunity Fund SPC, Haoran He, Himalaya Currency Clearing Pty Ltd., Himalaya International Clearing Limited, Himalaya International Financial Group Limited, Himalaya International Payments Limited, Himalaya International Reserves\n\n### Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 12 of 135\n\nLimited, Jovial Century International Limited, K Legacy Ltd., Karin Maistrello, Leading Shine Limited, Major Lead International Limited, Mei Guo, Next Tycoon Investments Limited, Qiang Guo, Rule of Law Foundation III, Inc., Rule of Law Society IV, Inc., Saraca Media Group, Inc., Seven Mission Group LLC, Kin Ming Je (a/k/a William Je, a/k/a Yu Jianming a/k/a W. Je) (\"William Je\"), and Wise Creation International Limited (collectively, the \"Defendants\"). In support of this Complaint, the Trustee states as follows:\n\n#### **NATURE OF ACTION**\n\n1. This complaint, like those that have proceeded it, sets forth further details of the Debtor's scheme of using shell companies, nominally owned by family members or business subordinates, but that in reality are his alter egos and equitably or beneficially owned by him, to launder money, conceal his business dealings, and hide his valuable assets from creditors.\n\n2. The Trustee has already commenced litigation that remains pending or in which the Trustee has prevailed asserting alter ego and equitable ownership claims (or similar claims under applicable law) against certain of the Debtor's shell companies, including claims against: (i) HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited (\"HK USA\"); (ii) Greenwich Land LLC (\"Greenwich Land\"); (iii) Whitecroft Shore Limited (\"Whitecroft\"); (iv) HCHK Technologies, Inc. (\"HCHK Technologies\"), HCHK Property Management, Inc. (\"HCHK Property\"), and Lexington Property and Staffing, Inc. (\"Lexington Property\" and together with HCHK Technologies and HCHK Property, the \"HCHK Entities\"); (v) Taurus Fund, LLC (\"Taurus Fund\"); (vi) Golden Spring (New York) Ltd. (\"Golden Spring\"); (vii) Lamp Capital LLC (\"Lamp Capital\"); (viii) Hudson Diamond NY LLC (\"Hudson Diamond NY\"); and (ix) Leading Shine NY Ltd. (\"Leading Shine NY\"). The facts and machinations demonstrated in those actions are in many ways doppelgangers for the allegations set forth herein.\n\n## Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 13 of 135\n\n3. As explained in those actions, the Debtor uses his network of shell companies to hide the assets the Debtor uses to fund his lavish lifestyle. These assets largely come from the Debtor's fraudulent enterprise, as will be set forth in detail in the Trustee's forthcoming complaint seeking damages for violations of the Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act and conspiracy to violate the Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act (the \"RICO Complaint\").[2](#page-12-0)\n\n4. The Debtor operates his network of shell companies through loyal subordinates comprised of family members and friends, counsel, employees, or New Federal State of China/Himalaya Global Alliance leaders. The Debtor's son and daughter, his money manager William Je, and his assistant Yvette Wang, play key reoccurring roles, as does the team of employees that worked for the Debtor in New York at 162 E. 64th Street and 3 Columbus Circle (the \"New York Team\") under the supervision of Yvette Wang. Members of the New York Team have included, among others, Debtor employees such as Max Krasner, Anthony DiBattista, and Alex Hadjicharalambous. These individuals served as nominal officers, directors, bank account signatories, and key employees of numerous of the Debtor's shell companies, ensuring that these shell companies acted at the Debtor's will.\n\n5. The entities with respect to which this Complaint seeks alter ego and equitable ownership rulings (or similar relief under applicable law) (the \"Debtor Entities\") are:\n\n- a. **G Entities,** comprising Saraca, the G Club Entities, the G Fashion Entities, G Music, Freedom Media Ventures, Wise Creation, and the Himalaya Exchange Entities, each as defined below (collectively, the \"**G Entities**\"). The G Entities are all linked to the Debtor's public-facing alleged businesses that he promoted to his online audience and that he used to solicit funds.\n\t- i. **Saraca Media Group, Inc.** (\"**Saraca**\"), a purported media company and parent company of GTV Media Group, Inc. (\"GTV\") organized in\n\n<span id=\"page-12-0\"></span> <sup>2</sup> The allegations set forth in the RICO Complaint are incorporated by reference herein.\n\nCase 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 14 of 135\n\n> Delaware, through which, among other things, the Debtor orchestrated the solicitation of a purported private placement of GTV shares during April-June of 2020. The nominal ultimate owner of Saraca is the Debtor's son, Qiang Guo.\n\n- ii. **G Club International Limited** (\"**G Club International**\"), an entity organized in the BVI, and **G Club Operations LLC** (\"**G Club Operations**\"), an entity organized in Puerto Rico (collectively, the \"**G Club Entities**\"), that the Debtor used to operate \"G Club,\" his purported membership organization, from which he directed funds to be used for lavish personal purchases.\n- iii. **G Fashion International Limited, G Fashion Hold Co A Limited**, **and G Fashion Hold Co B Limited,** entities organized in the BVI**, G Fashion (CA),** an entity organized in California, and **GF IP, LLC, GF Italy, LLC, GFashion Media Group Inc.,** and **GFNY, Inc.**, entities organized in Delaware (collectively, the \"**G Fashion Entities**\"), that the Debtor used to operate his \"GFashion\" clothing brand.\n- iv. **G Music LLC (\"G Music\")**, an entity organized in Delaware and used by the Debtor to, among other things, operate his music business.\n- v. **Freedom Media Ventures Limited** (\"**Freedom Media Ventures**\"), an entity organized in the BVI used by the Debtor to, among other things,\n- vi. **Wise Creation International Limited** (\"**Wise Creation**\"), an entity organized in the BVI the Debtor uses\n- vii. **Himalaya International Financial Group Limited, Himalaya International Reserves Limited, Himalaya International Clearing Limited**, and **Himalaya International Payments Limited**, entities organized in the BVI, and **Himalaya Currency Clearing Pty Ltd.,** an entity organized in Australia (collectively, the \"**Himalaya Exchange Entities**\"), that the Debtor used to operate his purported cryptocurrency business, the \"Himalaya Exchange,\" which the Debtor used to, among other things, fund the \\$37 million placed into escrow in connection with the return of the Lady May to the United States.\n- b. **Purported Non-Profits,** comprising Rule of Law Foundation III, Inc. (\"Rule of Law Foundation\"), and Rule of Law Society IV, Inc. (\"Rule of Law Society\" and, together with Rule of Law Foundation, the \"**Rule of Law Entities**\"), entities organized in Delaware, nominally ultimately owned by Yvette Wang, the Debtor's assistant, through her holding company Seven Mission Group LLC, and\n\nused by the Debtor to obtain funding from his followers, to make payments to his own shell companies, and to fund protest activities on behalf of the Debtor.\n\n- c. **Funding Entities**, comprising ACA Capital Group and the Hamilton Entities, each as defined below (together, the \"**Funding Entities**\"). The Funding Entities are used by the Debtor to hold his funds, and deploy such funds at the Debtor's direction.\n\t- i. **ACA Capital Group Ltd.** (\"**ACA Capital Group**\"), an entity organized in Hong Kong, that the Debtor used to, among other things, provide funding to his other shell entities, including Greenwich Land, Lamp Capital, Golden Spring, Saraca, Hudson Diamond NY, and Leading Shine NY, among others, as well as to fund legal and other expenses, including \\$9 million provided to Golden Spring in connection with the DIP financing proposed by the Debtor in March 2022.\n\t- ii. **Hamilton Capital Holding Limited**, an entity organized in the United Kingdom, **Hamilton Investment Management Limited**, an entity organized in the BVI, and **Hamilton Opportunity Fund SPC** (including its segregated portfolios, \"**Hamilton Opportunity Fund**\"), an entity organized in the Cayman Islands, (collectively, the \"**Hamilton Entities**\").\n- d. **Other Debtor Entities**, comprising K Legacy, Bravo Luck, China Golden Spring, Leading Shine BVI, Anton Development, Eastern Profit, Alfa Global, and Alfonso Global, each as defined below (together, the \"**Other Debtor Entities**\"). The Other Debtor Entities have been used by the Debtor to hold assets or move funds for the purpose of acquiring assets such as the Lady May, the Sherry Netherland Apartment, and the London Apartment (as defined below).\n\t- i. **K Legacy Ltd**. (\"**K Legacy**\"), an entity organized in the BVI through which the Debtor holds Apartment 6 and Apartment G3 at 5 Princes Gate, London, United Kingdom SW7 1QJ (collectively, the \"London Apartment\"), which he purchased in 2016 for approximately £33 million. The nominal owner of K Legacy is the Debtor's son, Qiang Guo.\n\t- ii. **Bravo Luck Limited** (\"**Bravo Luck**\"), an entity organized in the BVI that the Debtor used to, among other things, transfer funds for the Debtor to purchase his yacht, the Lady May, and his apartment at the Sherry Netherland Hotel (the \"Sherry Netherland Apartment\"),\n\nThe purported nominal owner of Bravo Luck is the Debtor's son, Qiang Guo.\n\n- iii. **China Golden Spring Group (Hong Kong) Ltd.** (\"**China Golden Spring**\"), an entity organized in Hong Kong and nominal parent company of Golden Spring. The nominal owner of China Golden Spring is the Debtor's son, Qiang Guo.\n- iv. **Leading Shine Limited** (\"**Leading Shine BVI**\"), an entity organized in the BVI the Debtor used to hold title to his residence located on South Bay Road in Hong Kong, purchased, upon information and belief, in 2011 for HK\\$ 880 million. According to documents in the possession of the Trustee, the nominal owner of Leading Shine BVI is the Debtor's son, Qiang Guo.\n- v. **Anton Development Limited** (\"**Anton Development**\"), an entity organized in Hong Kong and formerly used by the Debtor to, among other things, hold title to his private jet that is the subject of the Bombardier Adversary Proceeding (as defined below). Prior to Mei Guo's nominal ownership of Anton Development, Anton Development was nominally owned by Natasha Qu, the Debtor's assistant, and subsequently by Han Chunguang, the Debtor's household employee. The nominal owner of Anton Development is the Debtor's daughter, Mei Guo.\n- vi. **Eastern Profit Corporation Limited (\"Eastern Profit\")**, an entity organized in Hong Kong and formerly used by the Debtor to, among other things,\n\nThe nominal owner of Eastern\n\nProfit is the Debtor's daughter, Mei Guo.\n\n- vii. **Alfa Global Ventures Limited** (\"**Alfa Global**\"), a BVI entity, nominally owned by the Debtor's niece, Guo Lijie, and, subsequently, by the Debtor's translator, Karin Maistrello.\n- viii. **Alfonso Global Ventures Limited** (\"**Alfonso Global**\"), a BVI entity, nominally owned by an individual named Zhang Wei, the husband another of the Debtor's nieces, and, subsequently, by a Debtor-controlled BVI entity.\n\n6.

The Debtor is a prolific user of shell companies, nominally owned by family members or business subordinates, to shield his assets and activities from creditors. The Debtor's \"shell game\" has allowed him to continue to deny ownership of assets, refuse to pay debts, and—until his arrest by the FBI—live a life of luxury.\n\n52. The Trustee has been steadily unraveling the Debtor's shell game, and the Trustee has already sought alter ego and equitable ownership rulings from this Court regarding multiple of the Debtor's shell companies. The actions commenced by the Trustee in this regard either (i) remain pending or (ii) have resulted in rulings in the Trustee's favor.\n\n#### **A. Court's Alter Ego and Ownership Rulings**\n\n53. This Court has already found that HK USA, Golden Spring, Lamp Capital, and Ace Decade Limited (\"Ace Decade\") are alter egos of, and/or equitably or beneficially owned by, the Debtor.\n\n54. These entities exhibit many of the same recurring fact patterns observable in the Debtor Entities subject to this Complaint: (a) nominal ownership of an entity by someone with a close relationship to the Debtor, such as a family member or assistant; (b) the lack of observance of corporate formalities including through the siphoning of assets for personal use; (c) the entity holding title to an asset beneficially owned by the Debtor; (d) the entity being formed at the direction of the Debtor; (e) the entity providing funding for the Debtor's expenses; (f) the entity being staffed by employees of the Debtor; (g) the entity sharing an office address with the Debtor and other entities associated with the Debtor; and (h) the entity having no independent business purpose (other than to own assets of the Debtor) or source of funds (other than the Debtor).\n\n## Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 21 of 135\n\n#### **i. HK USA**\n\n55. In March 2023, this Court found that HK USA,[4](#page-20-0) nominally owned by the Debtor's daughter, Mei Guo, held title to the Lady May yacht, which was beneficially owned by the Debtor.[5](#page-20-1) Then, in May 2023, the Court held that HK USA was the Debtor's alter ego. [6](#page-20-2) The Court based its alter ego ruling on, among other things: HK USA's lack of income or liquid assets; HK USA's lack of observance of corporate formalities; HK USA's status as an instrumentality of the Debtor whose only business purpose was the nominal ownership, operation, and maintenance of assets the Debtor beneficially owned and controlled; and the indicia of \"injustice wrought by the corporate form\" where a closely held corporation was nominally owned by a family member of the person who beneficially owned and controlled the corporation's assets.[7](#page-20-3)\n\n### **ii. Golden Spring**\n\n56. In the Golden Spring Adversary Proceeding, the Trustee obtained alter ego and equitable ownership rulings in his favor pursuant to the default judgment entered by the Court on December 4, 2023.[8](#page-20-4) In his complaint in that action,[9](#page-20-5) the Trustee alleged that Golden Spring,\n\n<span id=\"page-20-0\"></span> <sup>4</sup> HK USA was the subject of adversary proceeding number 22-05003 (the \"HK USA Adversary Proceeding\").\n\n<span id=\"page-20-1\"></span>The Trustee's counterclaims filed in the HK USA Adversary Proceeding are incorporated by reference herein. 5 *Supplemental Memorandum of Decision in Support of Oral Ruling Granting Motion for Partial Summary Judgment*, at 31 (Adv.

The Court's default judgment order ruled that the well-pleaded allegations in the Trustee's complaint met the elements of the alter ego and equitable ownership causes of action asserted by the Trustee.\n\n#### **iii. Lamp Capital**\n\n57. In the Lamp Capital Adversary Proceeding, the Trustee obtained alter ego and equitable ownership rulings in his favor pursuant to the default judgment entered by the Court on February 1, 2024.[10](#page-21-0) In his complaint,[11](#page-21-1) the Trustee alleged that Lamp Capital, nominally owned by the Debtor's son through Infinity Treasury Management Inc., was, among other things, formed by the Debtor through his counsel, managed by the Debtor through his agents, funded by the Debtor, used by the Debtor to pay his expenses, and had the same address as the Debtor. In its memorandum of decision (the \"Lamp Capital Decision\"), the Court explained, among other things, that:\n\nA reasonable factfinder could find on the basis of the allegations that the Individual Debtor dominated and controlled Lamp Capital, as evidenced by, e.g., the alleged facts that Lamp (a) was formed by the Individual Debtor; (b) provides funding for the Individual Debtor's expenses, including related to the filing of the Petition and to assets such the Lady May and the Apartment; (c) is staffed by employees of the Individual Debtor, including his employee Ms. Wang; (d) shares an office address with other entities associated with the Individual Debtor, including his alter egos Golden Spring and HK USA; and (e) has no independent business purpose or source of funds.\n\n<span id=\"page-21-0\"></span> <sup>10</sup> *See Default Judgment in Favor of Chapter 11 Trustee for Estate of Ho Wan Kwok on First and Second Claims of his Complaint Against Lamp Capital LLC And Infinity Treasury Management Inc.* ¶¶ 2-3 (Adv.

In this adversary proceeding, (1) the alleged indirect nominal owner of Lamp Capital is Mr. Guo, the Individual Debtor's son, (2) Lamp Capital is alleged to have received funds for no consideration, (3) the purpose of Lamp Capital is alleged to be the avoidance of the Individual Debtor's creditors, and (4) the Individual Debtor is alleged to dominate and control Lamp Capital, as discussed above. [12](#page-22-0)\n\n58. The Court also explained that even if an entity like Lamp Capital had corporate\n\nofficers and created corporate documents, the observance of corporate formalities could not in\n\nand of itself be dispositive in connection with an alter ego ruling because such a ruling requires\n\nexamining non-dispositive factors that require a holistic analysis.[13](#page-22-1) Further, the Court observed\n\nthat siphoning funds from an entity for personal use *per se* disregards corporate formalities. [14](#page-22-2)\n\n## **iv. Ace Decade**\n\n59. The Court also ruled in November 2022 that Ace Decade was beneficially owned\n\nby the Debtor despite that entity's nominal owner at the time being Yvette Wang.[15](#page-22-3) In January\n\n2023, the Court ruled that Yvette Wang was only the nominee owner of Ace Decade and that the\n\nDebtor controlled and employed Yvette Wang.[16](#page-22-4)\n\n<span id=\"page-22-0\"></span> <sup>12</sup> *Memorandum of Decision and Order Granting Motion for Default Judgment and Denying Cross-Motion to set Aside Default*, at 31-32 (Adv.

Pending Actions With Respect to Shell Companies**\n\n60. The Trustee has also commenced adversary proceedings seeking alter ego/equitable ownership rulings with respect to a number of other Debtor shell companies which remain pending. The Trustee has made allegations regarding these shell companies, supported by voluminous evidence, that fit the same fact pattern underlying the Court's rulings described above and arising from the Debtor's pattern and practice of establishing shell companies nominally held by others to hide his assets from creditors. Among other things these entities were all nominally owned by family members or employees of the Debtor, staffed by the Debtor's agents, funded by the Debtor, used by the Debtor to pay his expenses, shared an address with the Debtor, and held title to the Debtor's assets.\n\n61. The Trustee alleged that Greenwich Land,[17](#page-23-0) though nominally owned by the Debtor's wife, was managed by the Debtor's employees, used the same address as other Debtor shell companies, had its transactions orchestrated and controlled by the Debtor, was funded by other Debtor shell companies, had its property used as the Debtor's residence, and paid the Debtor's expenses. In the Greenwich Land Adversary Proceeding, the Trustee has sought alter ego and equitable ownership rulings against Greenwich Land, in connection with which the Court entered a prejudgment remedy and temporary restraining order against Greenwich Land and the Debtor's wife.[18](#page-23-1)\n\nnominally owned to an individual located in Switzerland name Rui Hao. As alleged in the Trustee's complaint (the \"Ace Decade Complaint\") filed in Adv. Proc. No. 23-05028 (the \"Ace Decade Adversary Proceeding\"), incorporated by reference herein, Defendant Hao is the brother of Tian Hao, who is an officer of multiple entities controlled by the Debtor, including chief financial officer and director of G Fashion (CA) and chief\n\n<span id=\"page-23-0\"></span>executive officer of G Music. 17 Greenwich Land is the subject of Adversary Proceeding No. 23-05005 (the \"Greenwich Land Adversary Proceeding\").

The Trustee alleged that Whitecroft,[19](#page-24-0) though nominally owned by Mei Guo, used an address used by the Debtor and other Debtor-affiliated individuals and entities, never had any business other than holding title to the Debtor's Bombardier jet, and never had any material assets other than the Bombardier jet, which was transferred to Whitecroft by its prior owner, Anton Development (itself nominally owned by Mei Guo), for no consideration. In the Bombardier Adversary Proceeding the Trustee seeks, among other things, a ruling that Whitecroft and nine other BVI entities[20](#page-24-1) nominally owned by Mei Guo are in fact equitably owned by the Debtor.\n\n63. Leading Shine NY was named as a defendant in the Lamp Capital Adversary Proceeding.[21](#page-24-2) The Trustee alleged that Leading Shine NY, nominally owned by the Debtor's daughter, was, among other things, managed by the Debtor through his agents, funded by the Debtor, used by the Debtor to transfer money to other Debtor-controlled shell companies, used by the Debtor to pay his expenses, and operated out of the same address used by other Debtor shell companies.\n\n64. Hudson Diamond NY was named as a defendant in the Lamp Capital Adversary Proceeding. The Trustee alleged that Hudson Diamond NY, nominally owned by the Debtor's daughter through Hudson Diamond Holding LLC was, among other things, formed by the\n\n*Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction* (Adv.

[22](#page-25-0)\n\n65. The Trustee alleged that the HCHK Entities[23](#page-25-1) were staffed and nominally owned by the Debtor's employees,[24](#page-25-2) were affiliates of Gettr USA, Inc., GTV, G Club, G Fashion, and G Music (which the Court had already found to be controlled by or to serve as business vehicles for the Debtor), paid the Debtor's expenses, and were funded by the Debtor. In the HCHK Adversary Proceeding, the Trustee has sought alter ego and equitable ownership rulings with respect to the HCHK Entities, in connection with which the Court entered a temporary restraining order in June of 2023.[25](#page-25-3) An entry of default was issued on September 29, 2023, and on January 9, 2024, arguments were heard with respect to certain of the defendants' motion to set aside the default.\n\n66. The Trustee alleged that Taurus Fund[26](#page-25-4) was managed by the Debtor's driver and bodyguard, had not followed corporate formalities, and held title to the Mahwah Mansion, which was purchased with money controlled by the Debtor and used by the Debtor as his residence. In\n\n<span id=\"page-25-0\"></span> <sup>22</sup> The parties have completed briefing in connection with Hudson Diamond NY's motion to dismiss, and a hearing on the motion is scheduled to be held in March 2024.\n\n<span id=\"page-25-1\"></span><sup>23</sup> The HCHK Entities are the subject of Adversary Proceeding No. 23-05013 (the \"HCHK Adversary Proceeding\").

Scope of Debtor's Shell Game**\n\n67. The Debtor has spent the last ten years creating shell companies to hide and move his assets. The Debtor moved those funds around the world by transferring them through Defendants like Alfa Global, Alfonso Global, Eastern Profit, Anton Development, and Bravo Luck, spending hundreds of millions of dollars on personal assets such as the Lady May, the Sherry Netherland Apartment, and the London Apartment.\n\n68. The Trustee, in the forthcoming RICO Complaint, will allege with particularity the Debtor's creation and management of a complex criminal enterprise to conspire and act with (among others) the Debtor Entities and their nominal owners to intentionally (i) use these entities as a means of engaging in criminal activity to enrich the Debtor and (ii) do so in a way as to hide the Debtor's misbegotten assets from his creditors. The Debtor's use of these shell companies to be able to enact his scheme while concealing the badges of ownership and control of the entities holding and managing his assets is a bedrock pillar of the Debtor's enterprise. The Debtor Entities that are the subject of this complaint were established by the Debtor as part of a scheme to avoid his obligations to creditors.\n\n69. According to the U.S. Government's indictment in connection with the Debtor's arrest by the FBI on March 15, 2023, in the period between 2020 and 2023, the Debtor and his co-defendants William Je and Yvette Wang \"utilized more than approximately 500 accounts held\n\n<span id=\"page-26-0\"></span> <sup>27</sup> *See Memorandum of Decision and Order Granting in Part Motion for Preliminary Injunction* (Adv.

Like the RICO Complaint, the Superseding Indictment alleges, among other things, that the Debtor and his co-defendants created and maintained a number of \"interrelated and overlapping entities\" that formed the \"Kwok Enterprise,\" which \"obtained fraud proceeds, laundered those proceeds, spent fraud proceeds on expensive and luxury items, vehicles, and property for the benefit of KWOK and his family, used fraud proceeds to promote the Kwok Enterprise, and used fraud proceeds to operate and manage the Kwok Enterprise.\"[30](#page-27-2) According to the Superseding Indictment, the entities making up the Kwok Enterprise include, among others, entities with respect to which the Trustee has previously sought (and in some cases obtained) alter ego and equitable ownership rulings[31](#page-27-3) as well as many of the Debtor Entities that are the subject of this Complaint, as discussed further below.\n\n71. The Superseding Indictment also discusses the particular fraudulent schemes the Debtor and his co-conspirators engaged in, and in which certain of the Debtor Entities that are the subject of this Complaint were heavily involved. These schemes included (i) the GTV Private Placement (as defined below) undertaken between April and June of 2020; (ii) the Farm\n\n<span id=\"page-27-0\"></span> <sup>28</sup> *See Memorandum of Law of the United States of America in Opposition to Defendant Yanping Wang's Motion for Pretrial Release* (the \"USAO Memorandum\"), 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]. 29 Ex. 2, Superseding Indictment ¶ 4.\n\n<span id=\"page-27-1\"></span>\n\n<span id=\"page-27-3\"></span><span id=\"page-27-2\"></span>\n\n<sup>30</sup> Ex. 2 ¶ 3. 31 *See id.* ¶ 3.a (listing Golden Spring, Greenwich Land, HCHK Property Management, Inc., HCHK Technologies, Inc., Hudson Diamond NY, Infinity Treasury Management, Lamp Capital, Leading Shine NY, Lexington Property and Staffing Inc., and Taurus Fund).\n\n### Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 29 of 135\n\nLoan Program (as defined in the Superseding Indictment), involving the solicitation of additional funds in the form of purported loans provided by the Debtor's followers, supposedly in exchange for GTV stock, to entities established by the leaders of organizations of the Debtor's supporters known as \"Himalaya Farms\"; (iii) the sale of memberships in the Debtor's purported membership club, G Club, again based on representations that the purchase of a G Club membership would entitle the purchaser to stock in the Debtor's GTV or G Fashion Entities, and (iv) the sale of purported Himalaya Coin and Himalaya Dollar cryptocurrency by the Himalaya Exchange.\n\n72. In connection with each of these schemes, and as further discussed below, the Debtor used his massive online platform and following to generate hundreds of millions of dollars in funds from his followers. The Debtor directed these funds to the Debtor Entities, and the Debtor then spent these funds on numerous lavish personal expenses.\n\n#### **D. Key Individuals**\n\n73. The Debtor operated his shell companies through a collection of family members, employees, and loyal lieutenants who took instruction from the Debtor and acted as the Debtor's agents on his behalf. With regard to the Debtor Entities, these individuals acted at the direction and behest of the Debtor, recognizing him as the head of the family, the \"boss\", the \"principal,\" or as the head of the NFSC/Himalaya Global Alliance (members of which this Court found to be personally loyal to the Debtor). These individuals serve on the Debtor's behalf as, among other things, nominal owners, authorized signatories, directors, officers, and key employees of his various shell companies, and are discussed below in several categories.\n\n> a. **The Debtor's Children.** The Debtor has a long running practice of putting shell companies under the names of his children.\n\n- i. **Mei Guo** is the Debtor's daughter. Mei Guo has served the Debtor as nominal ultimate owner of numerous of his shell companies, as alleged herein and in prior complaints filed by the Trustee. One of the entities nominally owned by Mei Guo was HK USA, which this Court found to be the Debtor's alter ego. Upon information and belief, Mei Guo has never held gainful employment outside of the Debtor's shell companies and has no source of wealth other than the Debtor. At the Debtor's deposition in March 2023, when asked whether all assets held in the name of Mei Guo were really assets of his estate, the Debtor asserted the Fifth Amendment.[32](#page-29-0)\n- ii. **Qiang (\"Mileson\") Guo** is the Debtor's son. During the time period relevant to this Complaint, Qiang Guo has resided in both the United Kingdom and the United States. Qiang Guo has served the Debtor as nominal ultimate owner of numerous of his shell companies, as alleged herein and in prior complaints filed by the Trustee. Upon information and belief, Qiang Guo has never held gainful employment outside of the Debtor's shell companies and has no source of wealth other than the Debtor. At the Debtor's deposition in March 2023, when asked whether all assets held in the name of Qiang Guo were really assets of his estate, the Debtor asserted the Fifth Amendment.[33](#page-29-1)\n- b. **Inner Circle**. A small number of highly placed individuals are the Debtor's key agents in operating his shell companies.\n\t- i. **William Je** is the Debtor's agent, in particular with regards to the Debtor's funds, and is a co-defendant of the Debtor in his criminal case. During the time period relevant to this Complaint, William Je resided primarily in the United Kingdom (though, upon information and belief, he travelled to the United States regularly), and he is now believed to be located in the UAE. According to the U.S. Government, William Je is a \"key money launderer\" for the Debtor's enterprise.[34](#page-29-2) In addition:\n\t\t- William Je has a long history of acting on the Debtor's behalf going back at least to the period prior to the Debtor's arrival in the United States. Upon information and belief, William Je acted as the Debtor's agent in connection with the Debtor's financial transactions at least as far back as 2014, when William Je held a position at Macquarie Capital Securities Limited in Hong Kong, if not earlier. Mei Guo refers to William Je as \"uncle William\" and testified that he was a close family friend.[35](#page-29-3)\n\n<span id=\"page-29-0\"></span> <sup>32</sup> *See* Ho Wan Kwok Dep.

The Debtor was responsible for funding Saraca. The Debtor solicited and raised hundreds of millions of dollars for Saraca pursuant to the private placement of shares of Saraca's subsidiary, GTV (the \"GTV Private Placement\"). This private placement resulted in the issuance by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of a cease and desist order ordering Saraca and GTV to cease violations of the securities laws that raised approximately \\$487 million from more than 5,000 individuals. The GTV Private Placement also played a major role in the U.S. Government's indictment of the Debtor and his related arrest on March 15, 2023, as well as the filing on March 15, 2023 of a related civil lawsuit against the Debtor by the SEC for violations of the Securities Laws.

The Debtor's control over the G Club Entities and G Fashion Entities through his New York based employees was facilitated by arrangements whereby purported \"back office\" services often comprising the bulk, if not entirety, of the entities' day to day operations (including but not limited to the administration of an entity's financial and legal affairs) for numerous of his entities, including the G Club Entities and G Fashion Entities, were delegated to the Debtor's New York offices and employees. Initially, G Club Operations' financial and legal affairs were delegated to GTV, operating out of the Debtor's office at 162 E. 64th Street. Subsequently, the G Club Entities' and G Fashion Entities' financial and legal affairs were delegated to HCHK Technologies, operating out of the Debtor's office at 3 Columbus Circle. Thus, the G Club Entities and G Fashion Entities were controlled by the Debtor through his agents and operated from the same addresses as the Debtor and his other entities, with whom they were inextricably intertwined.\n\n91.

Upon information and belief, Wise Creation only acted at the direction of the Debtor, with such direction communicated either directly by the Debtor or through his agents.\n\n113.

Himalaya Exchange Entities**\n\n116. The Himalaya Exchange Entities consist of Himalaya International Financial Group Limited, Himalaya International Reserves Limited, Himalayan International Payments Limited, and Himalaya International Clearing Limited, each of which is organized in the BVI, as well as Himalaya Currency Clearing Pty Ltd., which is organized in Australia. Each of the Himalaya Exchange entities is nominally ultimately owned by William Je through a series of shell companies.\n\n117. The Debtor controlled the Himalaya Exchange Entities through their nominal owner, the Debtor's financial agent, William Je, who in turn operated the Himalaya Exchange Entities using the assistance of individuals based in the United Kingdom and also employed by the Hamilton Entities (another set of entities nominally owned by William Je, but in reality beneficially owned by the Debtor). Upon information and belief, these individuals were subordinates of William Je who took direction from William Je (and, through William Je, the Debtor), and they served as officers and directors of the Himalaya Entities and Hamilton Entities. Such individuals included David Fallon, an individual that counsel for Taurus Fund claimed, during a hearing in the Mahwah Mansion Adversary Proceeding, had given him instructions in connection with representing Taurus Fund. Upon information and belief, the Himalaya Exchange Entities and Hamilton Entities operated as one business.\n\n118. The Himalaya Exchange Entities operate the Himalaya Exchange, the Debtor's purported cryptocurrency \"ecosystem,\" through which the Debtor solicited his followers to purchase purported cryptocurrencies—H Dollar and H Coin. Commencing at least in or about April 2021, the Debtor actively promoted these purported cryptocurrencies, including in his wellknown \"H Coin to the Moon\" music video and in broadcasts where, among other things, he told\n\n### Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 54 of 135\n\nhis followers that he would personally compensate anyone who lost money in connection with investing in H Coin. According to the U.S. Government, the Debtor claimed to have designed the Himalaya Exchange purported cryptocurrencies, and the origin of these purported cryptocurrencies with the Debtor is demonstrated by the fact that Saraca registered \"Himalaya Coin\" and \"Himalaya Dollar\" as its assumed names in the State of New York, using filings signed by Yvette Wang and submitted to the State of New York Department of State in May 2020 (prior to the launch of the Himalaya Exchange) with the assistance of the Debtor's counsel at Hodgson Russ LLP.\n\n119. The Debtor was responsible for the funding of the Himalaya Exchange Entities through his solicitation of purchases of Himalaya Exchange purported cryptocurrencies by his followers. The U.S. Government has alleged, among other things, that the Debtor and his codefendants fraudulently obtained more than \\$262 million in victim funds through the Himalaya Exchange. In connection with their investigation of the Debtor, the U.S. Government seized millions of dollars held in bank accounts under the names of Himalaya International Reserves Limited, Himalaya International Clearing Limited, Himalaya International Financial Group Limited, and Himalaya Currency Clearing Pty Ltd.\n\n120. The Debtor has also used the Himalaya Exchange Entities for his own personal benefit. Most notably, on behalf of and at the direction of the Debtor, William Je arranged for Himalaya International Financial Group Limited to transfer \\$37 million (sourced from Himalaya International Clearing Limited) to HK USA's counsel, Zeisler & Zeisler, which funds were then placed into escrow in connection with the stipulation regarding the return of the Lady May to the United States. The transfer of these funds took place pursuant to a purported loan agreement between Himalaya International Financial Group Limited and HK USA, signed by William Je,\n\n## Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 55 of 135\n\nbut was in fact a gratuitous transfer from one Debtor-controlled entity to another. As the Court found in its decision ruling that HK USA was the Debtor's alter ego, provision of these funds was arranged within the space of a 62-minute recess following the Court's suggestion that HK USA post a bond to secure the Lady May's return to the United States.[83](#page-54-0) The Debtor also used funds of Himalaya International Clearing Limited to purchase a multimillion-dollar luxury vehicle for his son.\n\n![](_page_54_Figure_2.jpeg)\n\nGuo used Berkeley Rowe as his personal address on his proof of claim form.[85](#page-54-2)\n\n<span id=\"page-54-0\"></span><sup>83</sup> *Memorandum of Decision and Order Granting Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Second Counterclaim*, ¶¶ 19-20 (Adv.

Rule of Law Entities**\n\n124. The Rule of Law Entities are purported non-profit entities organized in Delaware, each nominally owned by Seven Mission Group LLC, a Delaware LLC that is itself nominally owned by Yvette Wang.\n\n125. In its January 2023 preliminary injunction decision, the Court found that the Rule of Law Foundation was involved in the protests against the Trustee and PAX, and that the Debtor was the leader of the Rule of Law Foundation, which the Court found to be one of a series of entities and organizations that \"serve the purposes of the Debtor, serve as business vehicles for the Debtor, and [whose] members are personally loyal to the Debtor.\"[88](#page-55-2) The Court also found that the Rule of Law Foundation was among the entities that were the Debtor's \"officers, agents, servants, employees, attorneys, and other persons who are in active concert or\n\n<span id=\"page-55-0\"></span> 86\n\n<span id=\"page-55-1\"></span>87 Debtor's March Depo. at 42:6-18.\n\n<span id=\"page-55-2\"></span>88 PI Decision ¶ 7. *See also id.*, at 60 (finding Rule of Law Foundation to be \"under the leadership of the Debtor\").\n\n## Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 57 of 135\n\nparticipation with the Debtor, his officers, his agents, his servants, his employees, and his attorneys.\"[89](#page-56-0)\n\n126. The Rule of Law Entities were operated out of the same address, 162 E. 64th Street, in New York, as the Debtor numerous other entities of the Debtor, including Golden Spring, Greenwich Land, HK USA, and Saraca, among others.\n\n127. The Debtor used his counsel at Hodgson Russ LLP to assist him in establishing the Rule of Law Entities. An attorney at Hodgson Russ testified at her deposition that the Rule of Law Entities were created on behalf of the Debtor.\n\n128. The Debtor managed the Rule of Law Entities through his agents. At various times at Rule of Law Society, for example, Yvette Wang served as Director; Daniel Podhaskie served as Managing Director; Karin Maistrello served as President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Director; Jennifer Mercurio served as Secretary, General Counsel, and Director; Ross Heinemeyer served as Director of Finance & Operations; Sarah Wei Lafrenz served as Director, Qidong Xia served as Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Shuai Guo served as Director. Similarly, at various times at Rule of Law Foundation, for example, Yvette Wang served as Director; Daniel Podhaskie served as Managing Director; Max Krasner served as President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Director; Jennifer Mercurio served as General Counsel; Ross Heinemeyer served as Director of Finance & Operations; Melissa Mendez served as Director, Xuebing Wang served as President and Director, and Yongbing Zhang served as Director.\n\n129. The Debtor was responsible for funding the Rule of Law Entities, either by directing funding to the Rule of Law Entities from his other shell companies or by soliciting donations for the Rule of Law Entities from his followers.

Upon information and belief, William Je and Natasha Qu worked with the Debtor out of this same office space.\n\n136. The Debtor used ACA Capital Group as a piggy bank to fund his expenses through other shell companies or, in some cases, directly.\n\n![](_page_59_Figure_3.jpeg)\n\nalleged in the counterclaims filed by the Trustee in the HK USA Adversary Proceeding, ACA Capital Group was designated to fund the \\$37 million that was placed into escrow in April 2022 (in connection with the stipulation under which the Debtor returned the Lady May to the United States), but was replaced in this role by Himalaya International Financial Group Limited. ACA Capital Group was also the source of the funds that the Debtor sought to loan to himself, through Golden Spring, pursuant to the DIP loan he proposed in a motion filed with this Court in March 2022, which motion he subsequently withdrew in May 2022 upon deciding to instead consent to the proposed dismissal of his chapter 11 case. The Debtor arranged for these DIP funds to be transferred from ACA Capital Group to an escrow account of Golden Spring's counsel and subsequently returned to ACA Capital Group in connection with the withdrawal of the DIP motion.\n\n### Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 61 of 135\n\n137. The Debtor has also been responsible for funding ACA Capital Group by, among other things, instructing the leaders of his Himalaya Farm organizations to transfer millions of dollars collected from the Debtor's followers to ACA Capital Group. These funds were subsequently dissipated under the Debtor's direction and for the benefit of the Debtor, his family members, and business associates.\n\n138. At the Debtor's deposition in March 2023, when asked whether he had exclusive control over ACA Capital Group and its assets and was the exclusive beneficial owner of ACA Capital Group, the Debtor asserted the Fifth Amendment. The Debtor also asserted the Fifth Amendment when asked if he had installed Fiona Yu as company secretary of ACA Capital Group. In May 2023, the Debtor asserted the Fifth Amendment when asked in writing to state that he had control over ACA Capital Group and ACA Investment Management Limited.[96](#page-60-0)\n\n139.

Hamilton Entities**\n\n140. The Hamilton Entities, consisting of Hamilton Capital Holding Ltd., Hamilton Investment Management Ltd., and Hamilton Opportunity Fund, are a series of purported investment funds nominally owned by William Je.\n\n141. The Debtor controlled the Hamilton Entities through their nominal owner, the Debtor's financial agent, William Je, who in turn operated the Hamilton Entities using the assistance of individuals who also assisted in the management of the Himalaya Exchange Entities.\n\nFallon, is the individual that counsel for Taurus Fund claimed, during a hearing in the Mahwah Mansion Adversary Proceeding, had given him instructions in connection with representing Taurus Fund. Upon information and belief, the Himalaya Exchange Entities and Hamilton Entities operated as one business.\n\nOne such individual, David\n\n142. The Debtor was responsible for funding the Hamilton Entities by directing that funds raised by him in connection with his various schemes, such as the sales of G Club memberships, be sent to the Hamilton Entities and that those funds be recycled for the Debtor's personal use. As such, he used the Hamilton Entities to launder the money he raised from his followers through his solicitation of their investments in the Farm Loan Program, Himalaya Exchange, and G Club memberships.\n\n## Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 63 of 135\n\n| In connection with its investigation of the                                                 |\n|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| Debtor, the U.S. Government also seized a number of other bank accounts held in the name of |\n| Hamilton Opportunity Fund, as well as bank accounts held in the name of Hamilton Investment |\n| Management Ltd., and Hamilton Capital Holding Ltd.                                          |\n| 143.<br>Upon Information and belief, the Debtor was responsible for funding Hamilton        |\n| Capital Holding<br>Ltd.                                                                     |\n|                                                                                             |\n|                                                                                             |\n|                                                                                             |\n|                                                                                             |\n|                                                                                             |\n|                                                                                             |\n|                                                                                             |\n| 144.                                                                                        |\n|                                                                                             |\n\n### Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 64 of 135\n\n145.

Other Debtor Entities**\n\n#### **i. China Golden Spring**\n\n146. China Golden Spring is an entity organized in Hong Kong that is nominally owned by Qiang Guo.\n\n147. Upon information and belief, Natasha Qu managed China Golden Spring on the Debtor's behalf during the period in which she worked for the Debtor. Other Debtor employees staffing China Golden Spring have included Yu Yong,[99](#page-63-1) Han Chunguang, and Yvette Wang.\n\n148. China Golden Spring has used the same Hong Kong address, at 49/F, Bank of China Tower, No. 2 Garden Road, as was used by Bravo Luck, Eastern Profit, Anton Development, Leading Shine BVI, ACA Capital Group, and Whitecroft. Upon information and belief, this address was where the Debtor's Hong Kong office was located and where he kept the documents of numerous entities that he controlled. Upon information and belief, William Je and Natasha Qu worked with the Debtor out of this same office space.\n\n149. A court order issued in Hong Kong on October 18, 2018 (the \"Hong Kong Restraint Order\") identified China Golden Spring's bank account as \"subject to the effective control\" of the Debtor.\n\n<span id=\"page-63-1\"></span><span id=\"page-63-0\"></span>\n\n<sup>98</sup> Ex. 2 ¶ 3.a. 99 Yu Yong was another of the Debtor's assistants whom the Debtor used as a nominal owner of entities under his control. Among other things, prior to 2017, Yu Yong served the Debtor as the nominal owner of Ace Decade Limited for the purpose of disguising the Debtor's ownership of that entity from regulators, after which the Debtor arranged for nominal ownership of Ace Decade to be transferred to Yvette Wang. In a ruling issued in November 2022, this Court found that Ace Decade was beneficially owned by the Debtor.\n\n## Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 65 of 135\n\n150. As discussed in the Golden Spring Complaint, China Golden Spring is the parent company of Golden Spring, which this Court found to be the Debtor's alter ego in a default judgment issued on December 4, 2023. Upon information and belief, following the establishment of Golden Spring as the Debtor's \"family office\" entity in 2015, China Golden Spring had no other role than to serve as parent company of Golden Spring and to assist the Debtor to transfer funds to other Debtor shell companies.\n\n151. In May 2023, the Debtor asserted the Fifth Amendment when asked in writing to state that he had control over China Golden Spring.[100](#page-64-0)\n\n#### **ii. K Legacy and London Apartment**\n\n152. K Legacy is an entity organized in the BVI and nominally owned by the Debtor's Son, Qiang Guo.\n\n153. On or about July 4, 2016, K Legacy became the nominal owner of the London Apartment, purchased for the price of approximately £33 million.\n\n154. Upon information and belief, the London Apartment is K Legacy's only asset and K Legacy's only business purpose is to hold title to the London Apartment.\n\n155. The Debtor funded the purchase of the London Apartment\n\n156. The Debtor exercised control and dominion over the London Apartment. The London Apartment was the Debtor's home in London and belonged to the Debtor, not his son or any other member of his family. The Debtor referred to the London Apartment as his London\n\n<span id=\"page-64-0\"></span><sup>100</sup> Responses to Certain Questions ¶ 92.\n\n## Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 66 of 135\n\nresidence and had control over the apartment. For example, when in London, the Debtor occupied the master bedroom of the London Apartment and stated on multiple occasions that it was his, describing the London Apartment as \"my apartment\" and stating that he was \"the boss\" at the London Apartment. Among other things, the Debtor kept all documents related to the London Apartment (including the London Apartment purchase contract), reviewed the bills of the London Apartment and chose when and how to pay for the bills, told the staff and security what to do, and entered and left the London Apartment whenever he wished without permission from his son or anyone else. Security staff at the London Apartment obeyed directives from the Debtor and not from his son.\n\n157. In a television interview that aired on November 15, 2017, the Debtor publicly boasted regarding the London Apartment, saying: \"I have the most luxurious apartment in London.\"[101](#page-65-0)\n\n158. The Debtor has used his alter ego shell companies to fund expenses associated with the London Apartment, for example,\n\n159. At the Debtor's deposition in March 2023, when asked whether K Legacy was in fact an entity owned and controlled by him, the Debtor asserted the Fifth Amendment.[102](#page-65-1)\n\n## **iii. Bravo Luck**\n\n160. Bravo Luck is an entity organized in the BVI that is purportedly nominally owned by Qiang Guo, the Debtor's son. Prior to January 2015, Qiang Guo was the sole nominal owner\n\n<span id=\"page-65-0\"></span><sup>101</sup> *See* VICE News, *Exiled Chinese Billionaire Uses YouTube to Wage a War on Corruption*, YouTube*,* at 6:50 (original air date on HBO, Nov. 15, 2017), http 102 Debtor's March Depo., at 54:4-13.\n\n<span id=\"page-65-1\"></span>\n\n## Case 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 67 of 135\n\nof Bravo Luck. In January 2015, the Debtor became the holder of 50% of the membership interests in Bravo Luck, with his son continuing as nominal holder of the remaining 50%. The Debtor has asserted that this 50% share was returned to his son's nominal ownership in May 2015.\n\n161. Bravo Luck's only purpose was to serve the Debtor as a vehicle for funneling money from his other alter ego entities, in particular to fund the purchase of the Lady May and Sherry Netherland Apartment.\n\nThis Court has issued rulings finding that both of these assets\n\nwere property of the Debtor.[103](#page-66-0)\n\n162. As discussed in more detail in the Bravo Luck complaint, the Debtor represented\n\n(correctly) that Bravo Luck's assets were his assets in connection with submitting his application\n\n<span id=\"page-66-0\"></span><sup>103</sup> *See Order Granting Motion Of Chapter 11 Trustee For Estate Of Ho Wan Kwok For Partial Summary Judgment,* ¶ 2 (Adv.

The Debtor also used Bravo Luck as an instrument of his legal strategy to retain control of the Sherry Netherland Apartment. As further discussed in the complaints filed by the Trustee in his consolidated adversary proceedings against Bravo Luck (the \"Bravo Luck Adversary Proceedings\"), Bravo Luck, represented by an attorney who is, upon information and belief, the father-in-law of Aaron Mitchell, filed claims in these chapter 11 cases based on the theory that Genever Holdings LLC held the Sherry Netherland apartment in trust for Bravo Luck's benefit pursuant to a purported trust agreement. The Trustee asserted claims in the Bravo Luck Adversary Proceedings that, among other things, this purported trust agreement was a forgery. Subsequently, a settlement agreement between the Trustee and Bravo Luck approved by this Court's order dated August 30, 2023 established, among other things, that the Trustee owned the Sherry Netherland Apartment as representative of Genever Holdings LLC and Genever Holdings Inc. and that to the extent Bravo Luck or Qiang Guo had any right, title, or interest in the Sherry Netherland Apartment, they relinquished such right, title, or interest and agreed to withdraw all claims related thereto.[104](#page-67-0)\n\n164.

Leading Shine BVI is an entity organized in the BVI and, according to documents in the possession of the Trustee, is nominally owned by the Debtor's Son, Qiang Guo.\n\n167. Leading Shine BVI has used the same Hong Kong address, at 49/F, Bank of China Tower, No. 2 Garden Road, as was used by Bravo Luck, Anton Development, China Golden Spring, Eastern Profit, ACA Capital Group, and Whitecroft. Upon information and belief, this address was where the Debtor's Hong Kong office was located and where he kept the documents of numerous entities that he controlled. Upon information and belief, William Je and Natasha Qu worked with the Debtor out of this same office space.\n\n168. The Debtor uses Leading Shine BVI to hold title to his residence located at 20-22 South Bay Road in Hong Kong (the \"South Bay Property\").\n\n169. The Debtor used Leading Shine BVI to purchase the South Bay Property in early 2011 for approximately HK\\$ 880,000,000, and with an estimated value in July 2018 of HK \\$2,224,000,000.\n\n170.

Nominal Ownership of Anton Development was transferred to Mei Guo on the same date, June 27, 2017, that the nominal ownership of Eastern Profit and HK USA were transferred to Mei Guo.\n\n177.

More recently, in 2018, the Debtor used Eastern Profit to enter into a contract with an entity called Strategic Vision US LLC (\"Strategic Vision\") related to the Debtor's purported anti-CCP political activities. The contract required that Eastern Profit pay Strategic Vision \\$1 million, which amount was supplied by ACA Capital Group. In litigation arising from a dispute related to this contract, Eastern Profit was found by Judge Liman of the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York, in his 2021 decision in the case of *Eastern Profit Corp. v.

Wise Creation 是一家BVI实体。\n事实（FACTS）\nI. 背景：债务人对空壳公司的大量使用（Background: Debtor's Prolific Use of Shell Companies）\n\n51. 债务人频繁且大量使用由家族成员或业务下属名义拥有的空壳公司，以向债权人隐匿其资产和活动。债务人的「空壳把戏」（shell game）使其得以持续否认对资产的所有权、拒绝偿还债务，并且——直到其被FBI逮捕——一直过着奢侈的生活。\n\n52. 托管人一直在稳步揭开债务人（Debtor）设立空壳公司的障眼法，并且托管人此前已就债务人的多家空壳公司向本法院提请作出另我（alter ego）及衡平法所有权（equitable ownership）裁定。托管人在这方面提起的诉讼要么 (i) 仍在审理中，要么 (ii) 已获得支持托管人的裁定。\n\nA. 法院关于另我及所有权的裁定\n\n53. 本法院此前已认定 HK USA、Golden Spring、Lamp Capital 以及 Ace Decade Limited（“Ace Decade”）是债务人的另我，且/或由债务人享有衡平法所有权或实益所有权（beneficially owned）。\n\n54. 这些实体呈现出许多与本起诉状所涉债务人实体相同的反复出现的模式：(a) 实体由与债务人关系密切者（如家庭成员或助理）名义所有；(b) 未能遵守公司形式要求，包括为个人用途挪用资产；(c) 实体持有债务人享有实益所有权的资产之产权所有权；(d) 实体系依照债务人的指示设立；(e) 实体为债务人的开支提供资金；(f) 实体由债务人的雇员配备人员；(g) 实体与债务人及与债务人相关的其他实体共用办公地址；以及 (h) 实体不具备独立的业务目的（持有债务人资产除外）或资金来源（债务人除外）。\n\nCase 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 21 of 135\n\ni. HK USA\n\n55. 2023年3月，本法院认定名义上由债务人女儿 Mei Guo（郭美）所有的 HK USA[4] 持有 Lady May 号游艇的产权所有权，而该游艇由债务人享有实益所有权。[5] 随后，在2023年5月，法院认定 HK USA 是债务人的另我。[6] 法院作出另我裁定的依据除其他事项外包括：HK USA 缺乏收入或流动资产；HK USA 未遵守公司形式要求；HK USA 系债务人的工具，其唯一的业务目的仅为名义上持有、运营及维护债务人享有实益所有权并控制的资产；以及在由享有实益所有权并控制公司资产的人之家庭成员名义持有封闭式持股公司的情况下，具有“利用公司形式造成不公”的表征。[7]\n\nii. Golden Spring\n\n56. 在 Golden Spring 破产衍生诉讼（Golden Spring Adversary Proceeding）中，根据法院于2023年12月4日作出的缺席判决[8]，托管人获得了支持其主张的另我及衡平法所有权裁定。在托管人于该案中提交的起诉状中[9]，托管人指控 Golden Spring，\n\n4 HK USA 是第 22-05003 号破产衍生诉讼（即“HK USA 破产衍生诉讼”）的标的物。托管人在 HK USA 破产衍生诉讼中提起的反请求特此引用并入本文。5 《支持准予部分简易判决动议之口头裁定的补充决定备忘录》（Supplemental Memorandum of Decision in Support of Oral Ruling Granting Motion for Partial Summary Judgment），第 31 页（Adv.

Lamp Capital\n\n57. 在 Lamp Capital 破产衍生诉讼中，根据法院于2024年2月1日作出的缺席判决[10]，托管人获得了支持其主张的另我及衡平法所有权裁定。在其起诉状中[11]，托管人指控 Lamp Capital 名义上由债务人之子通过 Infinity Treasury Management Inc. 持有，除其他事项外，系由债务人通过其法律顾问设立、由债务人通过其代理人管理、由债务人提供资金、由债务人用于支付其开支，且与债务人拥有相同地址。在其决定备忘录（“Lamp Capital 决定”）中，法院除其他事项外阐明：\n\n合理的案件事实审理者完全可以基于这些指控认定个人债务人主导并控制了 Lamp Capital，这表现于例如所指控的事实：Lamp (a) 由个人债务人设立；(b) 为个人债务人的开支提供资金，包括与提交破产申请书（Petition）相关以及与诸如 Lady May 号游艇和涉案公寓等资产相关的开支；(c) 由个人债务人的雇员配备人员，包括其雇员 Ms. Wang（王女士）；(d) 与个人债务人相关的其他实体（包括其另我 Golden Spring 及 HK USA）共用办公地址；以及 (e) 没有独立的业务目的或资金来源。\n\n10 参见《关于在针对 Lamp Capital LLC 及 Infinity Treasury Management Inc. 的起诉状第一项和第二项请求中作出支持 Ho Wan Kwok 破产财团第11章托管人之缺席判决》（Default Judgment in Favor of Chapter 11 Trustee for Estate of Ho Wan Kwok on First and Second Claims of his Complaint Against Lamp Capital LLC And Infinity Treasury Management Inc.）第 2-3 段（Adv. Proc. No. 23-05023, Feb. 1, 2024）[Docket No. 66]（“在所有相关时间，Lamp Capital 均为债务人的另我……Lamp Capital 的所有权权益属于债务人第11章破产财团的财产，应移交及/或交割给托管人。”）（即“Lamp Capital 破产衍生诉讼”）。11 托管人在 Lamp Capital 破产衍生诉讼中提交的起诉状特此引用并入本文。\n\n合理的案件事实审理者还可以基于这些指控认定 Lamp Capital 的公司形式导致了欺诈或类似不公，这表现于例如所指控的事实：(f) Lamp Capital 除了归集个人债务人的流动资产外没有其他业务目的或存在理由，而这些资产在无对价的情况下被抽逃用于支付其开支；以及 (g) 其间接的名义登记所有人为 Mr. Guo（郭先生），即个人债务人之子。\n\n因此，合理的案件事实审理者可以认定支持准予托管人所请求救济的两个构成要件均已成立。\n\n合理的案件事实审理者还可以从所指控的事实中得出结论，即个人债务人是 Lamp Capital 及其资产的衡平法所有人。在本破产衍生诉讼中，(1) 所指控的 Lamp Capital 间接名义所有人为 Mr. Guo，即个人债务人之子，(2) Lamp Capital 被指控在无对价的情况下接收资金，(3) Lamp Capital 的目的被指控为规避个人债务人的债权人，以及 (4) 如上所述，个人债务人被指控主导并控制了 Lamp Capital。[12]\n\n58. 法院还阐明，即使像 Lamp Capital 这样的实体拥有公司管理人员并制作了公司文件，遵守公司形式本身也不能在另我裁定中具有决定性，因为此类裁定需要审查需要进行全面综合分析的非决定性因素。[13] 此外，法院指出，出于个人用途从实体抽逃资金本身（per se）就属于漠视公司形式。[14]\n\niv. Ace Decade\n\n59. 法院还在2022年11月裁定，尽管 Ace Decade 当时的名义所有人为 Yvette Wang（王雁平），但该实体由债务人享有实益所有权。[15] 2023年1月，法院裁定 Yvette Wang 仅为 Ace Decade 的名义所有人，债务人控制并雇用了 Yvette Wang。[16]\n\n12 《关于准予缺席判决动议并驳回撤销缺席之交叉动议的决定备忘录及裁定》（Memorandum of Decision and Order Granting Motion for Default Judgment and Denying Cross-Motion to set Aside Default），第 31-32 页（Adv.

Mei Guo（郭美）是债务人的女儿。正如本诉状及托管人此前提交的诉状中所指控的，郭美曾作为债务人众多空壳公司的名义最终所有人为债务人服务。郭美名义拥有的实体之一是 HK USA，本法院已认定该公司为债务人的另一个自我（alter ego）。据信，郭美从未在债务人的空壳公司之外从事过有报酬的工作，除债务人外也没有其他财富来源。在 2023 年 3 月对债务人的宣誓录供中，当被问及以郭美名义持有的所有资产是否实际上属于其破产财产时，债务人援引了第五修正案。[32](#page-29-0)\n\n- ii. Qiang (\"Mileson\") Guo（郭强）是债务人的儿子。在本诉状涉及的相关时期内，郭强曾居住在英国和美国两地。正如本诉状及托管人此前提交的诉状中所指控的，郭强曾作为债务人众多空壳公司的名义最终所有人为债务人服务。据信，郭强从未在债务人的空壳公司之外从事过有报酬的工作，除债务人外也没有其他财富来源。在 2023 年 3 月对债务人的宣誓录供中，当被问及以郭强名义持有的所有资产是否实际上属于其破产财产时，债务人援引了第五修正案。[33](#page-29-1)\n\n- b. 核心圈子。少数身居高位的人员是债务人运营其空壳公司的关键代理人。\n\n\t- i. William Je（余建明）是债务人的代理人，尤其是在涉及债务人资金方面，并且是债务人在其刑事案件中的共同被告。在本诉状涉及的相关时期内，余建明主要居住在英国（尽管据信他定期前往美国），目前据信其位于阿联酋。据美国政府称，余建明是债务人企业的“关键洗钱者”。[34](#page-29-2) 此外：\n\n\t\t- 余建明代表债务人行事由来已久，至少可以追溯到债务人抵达美国之前的时期。据信，余建明作为债务人代理人参与债务人的金融交易，至少可以追溯到 2014 年余建明在香港的 Macquarie Capital Securities Limited（麦格理资本证券有限公司）任职期间，甚至更早。郭美称余建明为“William 叔叔”，并作证称他是亲密的家族朋友。[35](#page-29-3)\n\n 32 参见 Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）宣誓录供笔录，第 47:14-18 页，2023 年 3 月 2 日（“债务人 3 月录供”），作为证物 13 附于 Lamp Capital 对抗性诉讼中的对抗性诉状。\n\n33 同上，第 47:10-13 页。\n\n34 参见证物 2 第 10 段。参见整体 RICO 诉状。\n\n35 郭美宣誓录供笔录，第 188:8-19 页，2023 年 1 月 20 日，作为证物 8 附于 Bombardier 对抗性诉讼中的对抗性诉状。\n\n- 余建明曾使用债务人位于香港东 64 街 162 号及南湾道 20 号的地址作为其自己的地址。据信，余建明还与债务人及 Natasha Qu（屈国姣）在香港花园道 2 号中银大厦 49 楼共享办公室。\n\n- 余建明在 2018 年曾协助债务人在美国寻找房地产以供债务人家族购买。\n\n- 为债务人工作并观察到债务人与余建明之间关系的律师认为，余建明是为债务人工作的。\n\n- 在 2023 年 3 月对债务人的宣誓录供中，债务人被问及（除其他事项外）：(i) 余建明在其商业往来中是否为债务人的代理人；(ii) 余建明在商业往来中采取的任何行动是否是在债务人的指示下采取的；(iii) 关于涉及债务人和余建明的任何商业往来，余建明是否处于债务人的控制之下；(iv) 声称处于余建明控制下的任何资产是否实际上处于债务人的控制之下；以及 (v) 声称处于余建明控制下的任何实体是否实际上处于债务人的控制之下。[36](#page-30-0) 针对每一个问题，债务人都援引了第五修正案。2023 年 5 月，当被书面要求声明其对余建明拥有控制权时，债务人再次援引了第五修正案。[37](#page-30-1)\n\n- 余建明协助债务人转移了 3700 万美元存入第三方托管账户，以配合将 Lady May 号游艇运回美国，并代表声称的贷方 Himalaya International Financial Group Limited 与 HK USA 签署了声称的贷款协议。\n\n- 在此前于 Southern District of New York（纽约南区）由 Liman 法官审理的与债务人空壳公司 Eastern Profit 相关的诉讼中，2021 年的庭审证词显示，债务人曾将余先生描述为“我的管钱人（my money man）”。[38](#page-30-2) 在本次庭审中，当被问及有关余建明的问题时，债务人也多次援引了第五修正案。[39](#page-31-0)\n\n36 债务人 3 月录供，第 40-41 页。 37 《债务人关于特定问题答复的宣誓声明》，第 50 段，日期为 2023 年 5 月 11 日（“对特定问题的答复”），作为证物 1 附于 HCHK 对抗性诉讼中的对抗性诉状。 38 参见庭审笔录，第 774:24-775:1 页，Eastern Profit Corp.

G Club Operations 的财务总监（financial controller）兼协助债务人控制 G Club 实体的关键个人 Alex Hadjicharalambous 的经历在这方面具有说明性。\n\n![](_page_44_Figure_0.jpeg)\n\n![](_page_44_Figure_1.jpeg)\n\n94. 据信（Upon information and belief），债务人负责为 G Club 实体和 G Fashion 实体产生或以其他方式提供绝大部分资金。债务人为 G Club 实体筹集资金的方式是利用其网络直播\n\nCase 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 46 of 135\n\n招揽其追随者购买 G Club 会员卡，各“等级”（tiers）会员资格的价格在 10,000 美元至 50,000 美元之间，[74](#page-45-0)并通过向追随者承诺随同会员卡还将获得 GTV 的股份，进一步鼓励他们购买 G Club 会员资格。G Club 会员资格的销售为 G Club Operations 筹集了数亿美元，并通过 G Club Operations 为 G Club International 筹集了数亿美元。此外，据信，债务人还通过鼓励其追随者购买 G Fashion 服装来为 G Fashion 实体筹集资金。\n\n![](_page_45_Figure_2.jpeg)\n\n96. 据信，G Fashion Hold Co A 和 G Fashion Hold Co B 没有银行账户。据信，G Fashion Hold Co A 没有资产或业务运营。\n\n74 正如司法部所指控：“第 5 级会员费用为 50,000 美元；第 4 级会员费用为 40,000 美元；第 3 级会员费用为 30,000 美元；第 2 级会员费用为 20,000 美元；第 1 级会员费用为 10,000 美元。”证物 2（Ex. 2）第 18.c 段。 75 这通常是通过该等实体与 HCHK Technologies 之间所谓的“主服务协议”（master services agreements）进行的。据信与 HCHK Technologies 签订了主服务协议的 G 系列实体包括 G Club Operations、GFNY, Inc.、Wise Creation、Jovial Century International Limited、G Fashion International、G Fashion Hold CO A Limited、G Fashion Hold Co B Limited、G Club Hold Co I, LLC、GF Italy, LLC、GF IP, LLC、Freedom Media Ventures, Ltd、G Fashion (CA) 以及 G Music, LLC。\n\nCase 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 47 of 135\n\n97. 债务人利用 G Club 实体协助为其本人及其家庭成员的个人开支提供资金。其中包括：\n\n![](_page_46_Figure_3.jpeg)\n\nCase 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 48 of 135\n\n![](_page_47_Figure_1.jpeg)\n\n和判断，设立这些账户是为了将从 G Club Operation 转移到 G Club International 的资金置于美国当局和债权人的管辖触及范围之外。\n\n101. U.S. Government（美国政府）指控 G Club Operations「在实际功能上由」Debtor（债务人）「所有并控制」，且被债务人及其同谋用于欺诈性获取「大约超过 2.5 亿美元的受害者资金」，包括用于购买前述 Mahwah Mansion（马 Wah 庄园/马瓦庄园）及豪车的资金。美国政府还进一步公开了 Yvette Wang（王雁平）的部分笔记，显示在 Himalaya Exchange（喜马拉雅交易所）交易的所谓加密货币「是如何被用于洗白 G Clubs 会员费的」。此外，美国政府表示其「掌握了在王不知情的情况下录制的录音，录音中王在做出财务决策并指示他人如何处理来自 G Clubs 会员的资金，包括提议将资金通过各 [Himalaya] Farms（喜马拉雅农场）的银行账户转移」。美国政府还指控「在大约 2023 年 1 月至 3 月期间，隶属于 Kwok（郭）控制的实体 HCHK Technologies, Inc. 的至少两名个人在 UAE（阿联酋）待了大约六个多星期，以协助将 G Club Operations 的运营和资金转移至该地」。\n\n102.\n\n76 证据 2 第 14 段。 77 同上，第 18 段。 78 见 USAO Memorandum（联邦检察官办公室备忘录），第 21、24 页。 79 同上，第 4 页。\nCase 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 50 of 135\n\n103. 2023 年 5 月，当被书面要求陈述其是否对 G Club Operations 拥有控制权时，债务人援引了《第五修正案》（Fifth Amendment）的权利。\niii.

Himalaya Exchange Entities（喜马拉雅交易所相关实体）\n\n116. Himalaya Exchange Entities 由 Himalaya International Financial Group Limited（喜马拉雅国际金融集团有限公司）、Himalaya International Reserves Limited（喜马拉雅国际储备有限公司）、Himalayan International Payments Limited（喜马拉雅国际支付有限公司）以及 Himalaya International Clearing Limited（喜马拉雅国际清算有限公司）组成，上述各实体均在 BVI（英属维尔京群岛）设立，还包括在澳大利亚设立的 Himalaya Currency Clearing Pty Ltd.。每一家 Himalaya Exchange 实体名义上最终均由 William Je（余建明）通过一系列壳公司所有。\n\n117. 债务人通过其名义所有者兼债务人的财务代理人 William Je 控制 Himalaya Exchange Entities，Je 进而借助常驻 United Kingdom（英国）且同时受雇于 Hamilton Entities（汉密尔顿实体，即另一组名义上由 William Je 所有，但实际上由债务人实益拥有的实体）的人员协助运营 Himalaya Exchange Entities。依据知悉并确信的信息，这些人员是 William Je 的下属，听从 William Je（以及通过 William Je 听从债务人）的指示，并担任 Himalaya Entities 和 Hamilton Entities 的高级职员和董事。此类人员包括 David Fallon，在 Mahwah Mansion Adversary Proceeding（马瓦庄园附随诉讼程序）的听证会期间，Taurus Fund 的法律顾问曾声称此人曾就代表 Taurus Fund 向其发出指示。依据知悉并确信的信息，Himalaya Exchange Entities 与 Hamilton Entities 作为单一业务运营。\n\n118. Himalaya Exchange Entities 运营 Himalaya Exchange，即债务人所谓的加密货币「生态系统」，债务人通过该系统招揽其追随者购买所谓的加密货币——H Dollar（喜币/H币美元代币）和 H Coin（喜币）。至少从大约 2021 年 4 月开始，债务人积极推广这些所谓的加密货币，包括在其著名的《H Coin to the Moon》音乐视频中，以及在各类直播广播中，在直播中他向其追随者表示（除其他事项外），他将亲自赔偿任何因投资 H Coin 而遭受损失的人。\nCase 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 54 of 135\n\n根据美国政府的说法，债务人声称设计了 Himalaya Exchange 的所谓加密货币，并且这些所谓加密货币源自债务人的事实可通过以下情况得到证明：Saraca 将「Himalaya Coin」和「Himalaya Dollar」注册为其在 State of New York（纽约州）的假定名称（assumed names），采用的是由 Yvette Wang 签署并于 2020 年 5 月（在 Himalaya Exchange 推出之前）在债务人的法律顾问 Hodgson Russ LLP 协助下提交给 State of New York Department of State（纽约州州务卿办公室）的备案文件。\n\n119. 债务人通过招揽其追随者购买 Himalaya Exchange 所谓的加密货币，负责为 Himalaya Exchange Entities 提供资金。美国政府指控（除其他事项外），债务人及其同案被告通过 Himalaya Exchange 欺诈性获取了超过 2.62 亿美元的受害者资金。在针对债务人的调查中，美国政府查封了以 Himalaya International Reserves Limited、Himalaya International Clearing Limited、Himalaya International Financial Group Limited 和 Himalaya Currency Clearing Pty Ltd. 名义开设的银行账户中的数百万美元。\n\n120. 债务人还将 Himalaya Exchange Entities 用于其个人利益。最引人注目的是，William Je 代表债务人并按照其指示，安排 Himalaya International Financial Group Limited 将 3700 万美元（来源于 Himalaya International Clearing Limited）转账给 HK USA 的法律顾问 Zeisler & Zeisler，随后该笔资金因关于将 Lady May（梅号游艇）归还美国的约定而被存入第三方托管（escrow）。该等资金的转移是根据 Himalaya International Financial Group Limited 与 HK USA 之间由 William Je 签署的一份所谓贷款协议进行的，\nCase 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 55 of 135\n\n但实际上是从一个债务人控制的实体向另一个实体的无偿转账。正如本法院在裁定 HK USA 是债务人的 alter ego（另我/人格混同实体）的决定中所认定的那样，在本法院提议 HK USA 缴纳保证金以确保 Lady May 归还美国之后，提供该等资金是在短短 62 分钟的休庭时间内安排妥当的。债务人还使用 Himalaya International Clearing Limited 的资金为其儿子购买了一辆价值数百万美元的豪华汽车。\n\nGuo 在其债权证明表格中将 Berkeley Rowe 用作其个人地址。\n\n83 《关于批准第二项反诉的部分简易判决动议的裁决备忘录及命令》，第 19-20 段（附随诉讼案号 22-05003，2023 年 5 月 18 日）[案卷编号 221]。\n\n84 见《关于部分批准且部分驳回补充 HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited 及 Mei Guo 证人与证据清单动议的许可命令》（附随诉讼案号 22-05003，2023 年 3 月 14 日）[案卷编号 136]。\n\n85 见债权证明 3-1，载于《关于 Genever Holdings LLC》（In re Genever Holdings LLC），案号 22-50592。\n\n123. 当在宣誓证词陈述（deposition）中被问及（除其他事项外）他是否控制 Himalaya International Financial Group Limited、他是否为 Himalaya International Financial Group Limited 的实益所有人，以及 Himalaya International Financial Group Limited 的所有资产是否处于其控制之下时，债务人援引了《第五修正案》的权利。\nB. Rule of Law Entities（法治实体）\n\n124. Rule of Law Entities 是在 Delaware（特拉华州）设立的所谓非营利实体，名义上均由 Seven Mission Group LLC（一家本身名义上由 Yvette Wang 全资拥有的特拉华州有限责任公司）所有。\n\n125. 在其 2023 年 1 月的初步禁令裁定中，本法院认定 Rule of Law Foundation（法治基金会）参与了针对 Trustee（受托人）和 PAX 的抗议活动，且债务人是 Rule of Law Foundation 的领导人；本法院认定该基金会属于「服务于债务人的目的、充当债务人的商业载体，且[其]成员对债务人个人效忠」的一系列实体和组织之一。本法院还认定，Rule of Law Foundation 属于作为债务人的「高级职员、代理人、仆役、雇员、律师，以及与债务人、其高级职员、其代理人、其仆役、其雇员及其律师积极协同或\n87 债务人 3 月份证词陈述第 42:6-18 行。\n\n88 初步禁令裁定第 7 段。并见同上，第 60 页（认定法治基金会「在债务人的领导之下」）。\nCase 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 57 of 135\n\n共同参与的其他人士」的实体之一。\n\n126. Rule of Law Entities 的运营地址与债务人及债务人的许多其他实体（包括 Golden Spring、Greenwich Land、HK USA 以及 Saraca 等）相同，均位于纽约 162 E. 64th Street。\n\n127. 债务人（Debtor）利用其在 Hodgson Russ LLP 律所的法律顾问协助其设立法治实体（Rule of Law Entities）。Hodgson Russ 律所的一名律师在其作证陈词中证实，设立法治实体是代表债务人进行的。\n\n128. 债务人通过其代理人管理法治实体。例如，在不同时期，在法治社会（Rule of Law Society），Yvette Wang（王雁平）担任董事；Daniel Podhaskie 担任常务董事；Karin Maistrello 担任总裁、秘书、财务主管和董事；Jennifer Mercurio 担任秘书、总法律顾问和董事；Ross Heinemeyer 担任财务与运营总监；Sarah Wei Lafrenz 担任董事；Qidong Xia 担任董事会主席；Shuai Guo 担任董事。同样，在不同时期，在法治基金（Rule of Law Foundation），Yvette Wang 担任董事；Daniel Podhaskie 担任常务董事；Max Krasner 担任总裁、秘书、财务主管和董事；Jennifer Mercurio 担任总法律顾问；Ross Heinemeyer 担任财务与运营总监；Melissa Mendez 担任董事；Xuebing Wang 担任总裁兼董事；Yongbing Zhang 担任董事。\n\n129. 债务人负责向法治实体提供资金，方式包括指使其其他空壳公司向法治实体转移资金，或向其追随者为法治实体募集捐款。据知悉并确信，\n\n89 初步禁令裁定（PI Decision），第 60-61 页。\nCase 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 58 of 135\n\n债务人通过告知其追随者必须向法治实体捐款才能参与债务人控制的其他投资计划，以此鼓励其追随者向法治实体捐款。\n\n130. 与此相关，本法院认定，在 2022 年 11 月 21 日的一次网络直播中，债务人告诉其追随者，如果他们“愚蠢”并收到了根据第 2004 条规则（Rule 2004）发出的传票，喜马拉雅全球联盟（Himalaya Global Alliance）和法治基金将聘请律师帮助他们对传票提出抗辩。92 本法院亦认定，债务人告诉其追随者，法治基金支持他的法律维权和抗议活动。93\n\n90 本法院认定 Beile Li 是参与抗议活动的个人之一，初步禁令裁定第 15 段，他们是债务人的朋友、雇员、受雇人、助手、追随者和同事。同上，第 14 段。\n\n91 本法院认定，在与初步禁令裁定相关的听证会上为债务人作证的 Jiao Bing Shang 是 Himalaya New World Inc. 的总裁，且“Himalaya New World, Inc. 还协助他人购买 G-Club。”初步禁令裁定，第 5 段。92 同上，第 44 段。93 同上，第 49 段。\nCase 22-50073 Doc 2898 Filed 02/15/24 Entered 02/15/24 14:29:56 Page 59 of 135\n\n131. 2023 年 5 月，当被要求以书面形式说明其对法治实体拥有控制权时，债务人援引了第五修正案（Fifth Amendment）。94\n\n132. 在替代起诉书（Superseding Indictment）中，美国政府指控法治实体属于“构成郭氏企业（Kwok Enterprise）的相互关联和重叠的实体”之一。95\n\nC. 资金提供实体（Funding Entities）\n\ni.
