From at least in or about 2018 through at least in or about March 2023, MILES GUO, a/k/a \"Ho Wan Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Miles Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Guo Wengui,\" a/k/a \"Brother Seven,\" a/k/a \"The Principal,\" a/k/a \"Boss,\" KIN MING JE, a/k/a \"William Je,\" a/k/a \"Yu Jianming,\" and YVETTE WANG, a/k/a \"Yanping,\" a/k/a \"Y,\" the defendants, and others known and unknown, conspired to defraud thousands of victims of more than approximately \\$1 billion, including victims located in the Southern District of New York. KWOK, JE, WANG, and their co-conspirators operated the G Enterprise through a series of complex fraudulent and fictitious businesses and\n\ninvestment opportunities that connected dozens of interrelated entities, which allowed the defendants and their co-conspirators to solicit, launder, and misappropriate victim funds (collectively, the \"G Enterprise\" as defined in paragraph 3b. below).\n\n2. a/k/a \"Brother Seven,\" a/k/a \"The Principal,\" a/k/a \"Boss,\" KIN MING JE, a/k/a \"William Je,\" a/k/a \"Yu Jianming,\" and YVETTE WANG, a/k/a \"YanpingYVETTE WANG, a/k/a \"Yanping,\" a/k/a \"Y,\" the defendants, and their co-conspirators, took advantage of GUO's prolific online presence and hundreds of thousands of online followers to solicit investments in various entities and programs by promising outsized financial returns and other benefits. In truth and in fact, and as GUO, JE, and WANG well knew, the entities were instrumentalities that GUO, JE, and WANG created and used to perpetrate their fraud, strengthen the G Enterprise, and exploit GUO's followers. The scheme allowed GUO, JE, and WANG to enrich themselves, their family members, and their co-conspirators, and to fund GUO's extravagant lifestyle.\n\n3. To effectuate their scheme, MILES GUO, alk/a \"Ho Wan Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Miles Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Guo Wengui,\" a/k/a \"Brother Seven,\" a/k/a \"The Principal,\" a/k/a \"Boss,\" KIN MING JE, a/k/a \"William Je,\" a/k/a \"Yu Jianming,\" and YVETTE WANG, a/k/a \"Yanping,\" a/k/a \"Y,\" the defendants, and others known and unknown, created and maintained several interrelated and overlapping entities—i.e., the G Enterprise. The G Enterprise obtained fraud proceeds, laundered those proceeds, spent fraud proceeds on expensive and luxury items, vehicles, and property for the benefit of GUO and his family, used fraud proceeds to promote the G Enterprise, and used fraud proceeds to operate and manage the G Enterprise.\n\na. The interrelated and overlapping entities that form the G Enterprise include: ACA Capital Group Limited, ACA Investment Limited, Freedom Media Ventures\n\nLimited, G Club International Limited, G Club Operations LLC, G Fashion LLC, G Fashion International Limited, GF Italy, LLC, GFNY, Inc., G Music LLC, GETTR USA, Inc., Golden Spring (New York) Limited, Greenwich Land, LLC, GTV Media Group, Inc., Guo Media, G News LLC, Hamilton Capital Holding Limited, Hamilton Investment Management Limited, Hamilton Opportunity Fund SPC, HCHK Property Management, Inc., HCHK Technologies, Inc., the Himalaya Exchange, the Himalaya Farm Alliance, Himalaya Currency Clearing Pty Ltd., Himalaya International Clearing Limited, Himalaya International Financial Group Limited, Himalaya International Reserves Limited, Holy City Hong Kong Ventures Ltd., Hudson Diamond NY LLC, Infinity Treasury Management, Inc., Jovial Century International Limited, Lamp Capital LLC, Leading Shine NY Limited, Lexington Property and Staffing Inc., Major Lead International Limited, Mountains of Spices LLC (d/b/a New York Farm), the New Federal State of China, O.S.C. Orbit Service Company LLC, Rule of Law Foundation III, Inc., Rule of Law Society IV, Inc., Saraca Media Group, Inc., Taurus Fund LLC, Taurus Management LLC, and Voice of Guo Media Inc., among others.\n\nb. The defendants and the entities set forth in paragraph 3a., together with others known and unknown, were members and associates of a criminal organization (the \"G Enterprise\") that engaged in criminal activity, to include wire fraud, bank fraud, money laundering, and securities fraud. The G Enterprise, including its leaders, members, and associates, constituted an enterprise as defined in Title 18, United States Code Section 1961(4); that is, a group of entities and individuals associated in fact, consisting of GUO, JE, WANG, the entities set forth in paragraph 3a., and others known and unknown. The G Enterprise constituted an ongoing organization whose members functioned as a continuing unit for the common purpose of achieving the objectives of the enterprise. The G Enterprise operated in the Southern District of New York\n\nand elsewhere. The G Enterprise was engaged in, and its activities affected, interstate and foreign commerce.\n\n4. Jo further effectuate their scheme, MILES GUO, a/k/a \"Ho Wan Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Miles Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Guo Wengui,\" a/k/a \"Brother Seven,\" a/k/a \"The Principal,\" a/k/a \"Boss,\" KIN MING JE, a/k/a \"William Je,\" a/k/a \"Yu Jianming,\" and YVETTE WANG, a/k/a \"Yanping,\" a/k/a \"Y,\" the defendants, and their co-conspirators, laundered hundreds of millions of dollars of fraud proceeds. To conceal the illegal source of the funds, GUO, JE, and WANG transferred, and directed the transfer of, money into and through more than approximately 500 accounts held in the names of at least 80 different entities or individuals, including entities that are part of the G Enterprise. Hundreds of millions of dollars of the fraudulent scheme's proceeds were transferred, either directly or indirectly, to bank accounts in the United States, the Bahamas, Switzerland, and the United Arab Emirates (\"UAE\"), among other places, and held in the name of entities owned or otherwise controlled by JE, including ACA Capital, Hamilton Investment Ltd., and Hamilton Opportunity Fund SPC.\n\n5. a/k/a \"Brother Seven,\" a/k/a \"The Principal,\" a/k/a \"Boss,\" and KIN MING JE, a/k/a \"William Je,\" alk/a \"Yu Jianming,\" the defendants, used more than approximately \\$300 million of the fraudulent scheme's proceeds for their and their families' benefit. For example, GUO used fraudulently-obtained victim money to purchase, fund, or finance: a \\$26.5 million approximately 50,000-square-foot mansion in New Jersey for GUO and his family; luxury vehicles, including an approximately \\$3.5 million Ferrari and an approximately \\$4.4 million custom Bugatti for one of GUO's close family members and co-conspirators (\"Relative-1\"); an approximately \\$37 million luxury yacht that was used by GUO and his family and purchased in the name of one of GUO's close family members (\"Relative-2\"); a piano valued at approximately \\$140,000; two approximately \\$36,000 mattresses; and a \\$100 million investment in a high-risk hedge fund for the ultimate benefit of Relative-1, among other things. For his part, among other things, JE transferred at least \\$10 million of the fraud proceeds into his and his spouse's personal bank accounts. For her part, among other things, YVETTE WANG, a/k/a \"Yanping,\" a/k/a \"Y,\" was paid at least approximately \\$500,000 per year, was gifted an approximately \\$1.1 million-dollar Manhattan condominium, and was promised millions of dollars' worth of a purported cryptocurrency.\n\n6. a/k/a \"Brother Seven,\" a/k/a \"The Principal,\" a/k/a \"Boss,\" KIN MING JE, a/k/a \"William Je,\" a/k/a \"Yu Jianming,\" and YVETTE WANG, a/k/a \"Yanping,\" a/k/a \"Y,\" the defendants, and their co-conspirators, operated the scheme for years, and continued to do so through at least March 2023. They did so by, among other things, expanding the G Enterprise to include additional entities and individuals; continually adapting the scheme's means and methods to evade the enforcement of investor-protection, anti-money laundering, and bankruptcy laws in the United States; and retaliating against individual victims, and others, who complained, requested return of invested funds, or criticized the G Enterprise.\n\n## Purposes of the Enterprise\n\n- 7. J The purposes of the G Enterprise included, but were not limited to, the following:\n\t- a. Enriching the members and associates of the enterprise;\n\t- b. Obtaining the money and property of victims;\n\t- c. Concealing and laundering fraud proceeds;\n\nd. Purchasing, with fraud proceeds, expensive and luxury items, vehicles, and property for the benefit of the defendants and their co-conspirators; and\n\ne. Promoting, increasing, and preserving the standing of the G Enterprise, entities that are part of the G Enterprise, and members of the G Enterprise, including MILES GUO, a/k/a \"Ho Wan Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Miles Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Guo Wengui,\" a/k/a \"Brother Seven,\" a/k/a \"The Principal,\" a/k/a \"Boss,\" in order to solicit additional victims, as well as to exert influence over, or to intimidate, those who criticized or threatened the G Enterprise.\n\n#### Means and Methods of the Enterprise\n\n8. The means and methods by which the members and the associates of the G Enterprises conducted their affairs included, but were not limited to, the following:\n\na. Causing the G Enterprise to amass significant assets through false and fraudulent misrepresentations;\n\nb. Obstructing and circumventing law enforcement and civil regulatory authorities:\n\nc. Obstructing and ignoring court orders;\n\nd. Concealing fraud proceeds through, among other things, monetary transfers between entities within the G Enterprise; and\n\ne. Harassing, threatening, and silencing critics of MILES GUO, a/k/a \"Ho Wan Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Miles Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Guo Wengui,\" a/k/a \"Brother Seven,\" a/k/a \"The Principal,\" a/k/a \"Boss,\" the defendant, and the G Enterprise.\n\n#### Relevant Persons and Entities\n\n9. a/k/a \"Guo Wengui,\" a/k/a \"Brother Seven,\" a/k/a \"The Principal,\" a/k/a \"Boss,\" the defendant, was the leader of, and directed, the G Enterprise.\n\na. GUO is an exiled Chinese businessman who fled to the United States in or about 2015 and purchased a penthouse apartment at a New York City hotel for approximately \\$67.5 million. Starting at least in or about 2017, GUO, who then purported to be a billionaire, gamered a substantial online following. GUO granted numerous media interviews and posted on social media, claiming to advance a movement against the Chinese Communist Party.\n\nb. In or about 2018, GUO founded two purported nonprofit organizations, namely, the Rule of Law Foundation and the Rule of Law Society. The Rule of Law Society's website listed GUO as its \"founder, a promot}e]; and a spokesperson.\" Both organizations feature photographs of GUO on their websites. GUO used the nonprofit organizations to amass followers who were aligned with his purported campaign against the Chinese Communist Party and who were also inclined to believe GUO's statements regarding investment and money-making opportunities. In truth and in fact, and as GUO well knew, he and others provided false and materially misleading information to promote these \"opportunities\" and to defraud GUO's followers and other victims. GUO directed others to create and maintain a variety of corporate entities that would come to make up the G Enterprise over which GUO was in charge.\n\n10. At all relevant times, KIN MING JE, a/k/a \"William Je,\" a/k/a \"Yu Jianming,\" the defendant, was a dual citizen of Hong Kong and the United Kingdom who principally resided in the United Kingdom, while traveling to the United States and elsewhere. JE owned and operated\n\nnumerous companies and investment vehicles central to the scheme and served as the financial architect and key money launderer for the G Enterprise.\n\n11. At all relevant times, YVETTE WANG, a/k/a \"Yanping,\" a/k/a \"Y,\" the defendant, was a citizen of China who principally resided in New York, New York and has had a close relationship with MILES GUO, alk/a \"Ho Wan Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Miles Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Guo Wengui,\" a/k/a \"Brother Seven,\" a/k/a \"The Principal,\" a/k/a \"Boss,\" the defendant. In particular, WANG has worked for GUO and GUO's family for several years, since at least in or about 2018, and has operated as a \"chief of staff\" for GUO and the G Enterprise. In that capacity, WANG has held titles in, and exercised control over, a variety of entities that were part of the G Enterprise and instrumentalities of the fraud described herein. For example, WANG has served as the President, Treasurer, and Secretary of entities that purportedly managed GUO's money, and exercised control over other entities within the G Enterprise, even where she held no formal position or title.\n\n12. At certain times relevant to this Indictment, Saraca Media Group, Inc. (\"Saraca\") was a corporation based in New York. Relative-1 was its ultimate beneficial owner.\n\n13. At certain times relevant to this Indictment, GTV Media Group, Inc. (\"GTV\") was a purported news-focused social media platform based in New York, New York. GTV was functionally owned and controlled by MILES GUO, a/k/a \"Ho Wan Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Miles Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Guo Wengui,\" a/k/a \"Brother Seven,\" a/k/a \"The \"Boss,\" the defendant, although GUO held no formal position or title at GTV. KIN MING JE, a/k/a \"William Je,\" a/k/a \"Yu Jianming,\" the defendant, likewise held no formal position or title at GTV, but in fact exercised control over its finances. Saraca was the parent company of GTV. YVETTE WANG, a/k/a \"Yanping,\" a/k/a \"Y,\" the defendant, was an \"Executive Director\" of GTV.\n\n14. At certain times relevant to this Indictment, G Club Operations, LLC (“G|CLUBS”) was a purported membership organization based in Puerto Rico and in New York, New York. G|CLUBS was functionally owned and controlled by MILES GUO, a/k/a “Ho Wan Kwok,” a/k/a “Miles Kwok,” a/k/a “Guo Wengui,” a/k/a “Brother Seven,” a/k/a “The Principal,” a/k/a “Boss,” the defendant, although GUO held no formal position or title at G|CLUBS. KIN MING JE, a/k/a “William Je,” a/k/a “Yu Jianming,” the defendant, likewise held no formal position or title at G|CLUBS, but exerted influence over its finances and laundered its proceeds. YVETTE WANG, a/k/a “Yanping,” a/k/a “Y,” similarly held no formal position or title at G|CLUBS, but in fact exercised control over its day-to-day operations and ensured that GUO’s instructions were implemented across the organization. G|CLUBS was formally owned by a coconspirator (“CC-1”) who worked in concert with GUO, WANG, Relative-1, and others known and unknown to further the goals of the G Enterprise.\n\n15. At certain times relevant to this Indictment, the “Himalaya Exchange” was a purported cryptocurrency “ecosystem” that KIN MING JE, a/k/a “William Je,” a/k/a “Yu Jianming,” the defendant, founded and operated through various entities he owned, which were based abroad. Entities functionally owned and controlled by MILES GUO, a/k/a “Ho Wan Kwok,” a/k/a “Miles Kwok,” a/k/a “Guo Wengui,” a/k/a “Brother Seven,” a/k/a “The Principal,” a/k/a “Boss,” the defendant, such as G|CLUBS and G|Fashion, had purported business relationships with the Himalaya Exchange. GUO promoted the Himalaya Exchange and claimed to be the designer of its purported cryptocurrency, although GUO held no formal position or title at the Himalaya Exchange. WANG likewise held no formal position or title at the Himalaya Exchange but, among other things, was allocated millions of dollars in its purported cryptocurrencies, assisted in the\n\nrecruitment of Himalaya Exchange personnel, and worked to transfer fraud proceeds to the Himalaya Exchange.\n\n## The G Enterprise's Fraud\n\n## The GTV Private Placement\n\n16. Between in or about April 2020 and in or about June 2020, MILES GUO, a/k/a \"Ho Wan Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Miles Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Guo Wengui,\" a/k/a \"Brother Seven,\" a/k/a \"The Principal,\" a/k/a \"Boss,\" KIN MING JE, a/k/a \"William Je,\" a/k/a \"Yu Jianming,\" and YVETTE WANG, a/k/a \"Yanping,\" a/k/a \"Y,\" the defendants, and others known and unknown, fraudulently obtained more than \\$400 million in victim funds through an illegal private stock offering related to GTV (the \"GTV Private Placement\"). The GTV Private Placement scheme included, but was not limited to, the following:\n\na. On or about April 21, 2020, GUO posted, and caused to be posted, a video on social media announcing the unregistered offering of GTV common stock via a private placement. In that video, GUO described, in substance and in part, the investment terms for the GTV Private Placement, and directed people to contact him, via a mobile messaging application, with any questions about the GTV Private Placement. The video and GTV Private Placement materials-including the written \"Confidential Information Memorandum\" (the \"Private Placement Memorandum\" or \"PPM\"), Subscription Agreement, and Investment Procedure Guidelines-were transmitted to thousands of potential investors, including those in the Southern District of New York, via mobile messaging applications, social media, and text messages.\n\nb. The PPM promoted GTV as the \"first ever platform which will combine the power of citizen journalism and social news with state-of-the-art technology, big data, artificial intelligence, block-chain technology and real-time interactive communication.\"\n\nc. According to the PPM's metadata, JE was the \"author\" of the PPM. The PPM disclosed the terms of the GTV Private Placement and identified GUO as GTV's \"Sponsor and Adviser.\" According to the PPM, among other GTV materials, neither GUO nor JE held any formal management position with GTV. YVETTE WANG, a/k/a \"Yanping,\" a/k/a \"Y,\" the defendant, was identified in the PPM as an \"Executive Director\" of GTV.\n\nd. The PPM also contained the following representations, in substance and in part, among others:\n\ni. The GTV Private Placement was for investors who were \"interested in evaluating an opportunity to invest capital into GTV;\"\n\nii. GTV planned to use the proceeds raised from the GTV Private Placement \"to expand and strengthen the business;\" and\n\niii. The PPM included a chart itemizing the \"contemplated use of proceeds\" raised from the GTV Private Placement:\n\n| Description | Percentage of Proceeds |\n|--------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------|\n| Acquisition of companies to strengthen and grow
GTV | Approximate 70% |\n| Upgrade of GTV technology and security | Approximate 10% |\n| Marketing | Approximate 8% |\n| Working capital | Approximate 7% |\n| Other | Approximate 5% |\n| Total | 100% |\n\ne. Between on or about April 20, 2020 and on or about June 2, 2020, approximately \\$452 million worth of GTV common stock was sold to more than 5,500 investors located in the United States, including in the Southern District of New York, and abroad. Investors participated in the GTV Private Placement based, in part, on the belief that their money would be invested into GTV to develop and grow that business, as the PPM promised.\n\nf. The vast majority of the proceeds derived from investors in the GTV Private Placement were not used to develop and grow the GTV business, but instead were deposited directly into bank accounts held in the name of Saraca, GTV's parent company, which is beneficially owned by Relative-1.\n\ng. The GTV Private Placement was not made pursuant to a registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (\"SEC\"). Rather, the offering was purportedly made pursuant to SEC regulations that permit the sale of unregistered securities subject to limitations on the type of investors to whom the securities are offered and the manner in which their investments may be solicited. To evade these limitations, however, GUO and others under his control used at least one intermediary entity to purchase GTV stock on behalf of pools of investors who did not individually qualify to participate in the GTV Private Placement.\n\nh. In or about early June 2020, and only days after the GTV Private Placement closed. MILES GUO, a/k/a \"Ho Wan Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Miles Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Guo Wengui,\" a/k/a \"Brother Seven,\" a/k/a \"The Principal,\" a/k/a \"Boss,\" KIN MING JE, a/k/a \"William Je,\" a/k/a \"Yu Jianming,\" and YVETTE WANG, a/k/a \"Yanping,\" a/k/a \"Y,\" the defendants, and their coconspirators, misappropriated approximately \\$100 million raised from investors in the GTV Private Placement and directed that those funds be placed with a high-risk hedge fund (\"Fund-1\") for the benefit of Saraca and its ultimate beneficial owner, Relative-1. This transaction was contrary to the PPM's representations to prospective GTV investors about how investments in GTV would be used. Indeed, the \\$100 million investment into Fund-1 was not made \"to strengthen and grow\" GTV's business or to benefit GTV, but rather was made for the benefit of Saraca and Relative-1. The victims who supplied the \\$100 million invested into Fund-1 did not own any shares of Saraca. Ultimately, the investment into Fund-1 lost approximately \\$30 million in value.\n\ni. After directing \\$100 million of GTV victim funds into Fund-1, HO WAN GUO, a/k/a \"Miles Guo,\" a/k/a \"Miles Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Guo \"Brother Seven,\" a/k/a \"The Principal,\" the defendant, continued to promote GTV using false and misleading representations.\n\n## The Farm Loan Program\n\n17. Beginning in or about June 2020-the same month that MILES GUO, a/k/a \"Ho Wan Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Miles Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Guo Wengui,\" a/k/a \"Brother Seven,\" a/k/a \"The Principal.\" a/k/a \"Boss,\" KIN MING JE, a/k/a \"William Je,\" a/k/a \"Yu Jianming,\" and YVETTE WANG, a/k/a \"Yanping,\" a/k/a \"Y,\" the defendants, and their co-conspirators misappropriated money from the GTV Private Placement for the benefit of Saraca and Relative-1-GUO, JE, and their co-conspirators fraudulently obtained more than approximately \\$150 million in victim funds through the \"Himalaya Farm Alliance.\" The Himalaya Farm Alliance, which GUO organized and promoted, was a collective of informal groups (each known as a \"Farm\") located in various cities around the world. GUO, JE, WANG and others working on their behalf and at their direction, obtained these funds by making further misrepresentations to the investors in the GTV Private Placement and fraudulently soliciting further investments, this time in the form of \"loans\" to a Farm, and promising that such loans would be convertible into GTV common stock at a conversion rate of one share per dollar loaned (the \"Farm Loan Program\"). The Farm Loan Program scheme included, but was not limited to, the following:\n\na. Starting in or about June 2020, domestic banks that held accounts used to process the funds raised through the GTV Private Placement began to freeze and close GTVassociated bank accounts because, among other reasons, the accounts had received dozens of large incoming wire transfers, some of which referenced an unregistered stock offering.\n\nb. These bank account closures frustrated the ability of GUO, JE, and their coconspirators to collect proceeds from victims seeking to invest in GTV.\n\nc. On or about July 22, 2020, in a video distributed via social media, GUO promoted the Farm Loan Program, stating, in substance and in part, \"the money has been changed to a new way of cooperation, signing a loan contract with a local farm, with 6% interest, giving you equity. . . . [i]n this case, it is a loan, and then you can ask for stocks . . . \" According to GUO and those working on his behalf, individuals seeking to invest (or reinvest) in GTV could participate in the Farm Loan Program.\n\nd. After launching the Farm Loan Program, GUO continued to promote GTV and to falsely represent the value of GTV. For example, on or about August 2, 2020, in a video distributed via social media, GUO falsely stated, in substance and part, \"How much is GTV? . . . a market value of 2 billion US dollars.\" In truth and in fact, and as GUO well knew, GTV's market value was far less because, among other things, GTV was a new business that generated no revenue.\n\ne. Thousands of victims \"loaned\" money to the Farms by sending money to bank accounts controlled by the Farms (and not GTV). According to the \"Loan Agreements,\" which the Farms frequently did not countersign, these funds were to be used for a Farm's \"general working capital purposes.\"\n\n1 All statements attributed herein to KWOK have been translated from Mandarin to English.\n\nf. GUO and JE misappropriated funds that were raised through the Farm Loan Program. For example:\n\ni. Approximately \\$20 million was transferred to Relative-1, approximately \\$950,000 of which was used to pay for flight crew services on a private jet;\n\nii. Approximately \\$5 million was transferred to an entity owned by GUO's spouse;\n\niii. Approximately \\$2.3 million was used to cover maintenance expenses associated with an approximately 145-foot luxury yacht worth approximately \\$37 million, nominally owned by Relative-2 and used by GUO; and\n\niv. Approximately \\$10 million was transferred to personal bank accounts in the name of JE and/or JE's spouse.\n\n## GICLUBS\n\n18. While making misrepresentations regarding the Farm Loan Program, MILES GUO, a/k/a \"Ho Wan Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Miles Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Guo Wengui,\" a/k/a \"Brother Seven,\" a/k/a \"The Principal,\" a/k/a \"Boss,\" KIN MING JE, a/k/a \"William Je,\" a/k/a \"Yu Jianming,\" and YVETTE WANG, a/k/a \"Yanping,\" a/k/a \"Y,\" the defendants, and others known and unknown, fraudulently induced GUO's followers to transfer additional funds to a purported online membership club called G|CLUBS. From at least in or about June 2020 through at least in or about March 2023, GUO, JE, WANG, and others known and unknown, fraudulently obtained more than approximately \\$2.50 million in victim funds through G(CLUBS scheme included, but was not limited to, the following:\n\na. Starting at least on or about June 20, 2020, in a video distributed via social media, GUO promoted and encouraged individuals to purchase what GUO referred to as a \"G Club . . . membership card.\"\n\nb. Formally launched in or about October 2020, G/CLUBS claimed, on its website, to be \"an exclusive, high-end membership program offering a full spectrum of services\" and \"a gateway to carefully curated world-class products, services and experiences.\"\n\nc. To join GiCLUBS, a member was required to make a one-time payment to purchase a \"membership,\" in addition to an annual membership fee. The cost of the membership varied based on the membership tier selected by the prospective member: a Tier 5 Membership cost \\$50,000; a Tier 4 Membership cost \\$40,000; a Tier 3 Membership cost \\$30,000; a Tier 2 Membership cost \\$20,000; and a Tier 1 Membership cost \\$10,000.\n\nd. On or about July 5, 2021, in a video distributed via social media, GUO stated, in substance and in part, that there were \"25,000 [G|CLUBS] member[s] . . . \\$100 million dollars, the cash [in] the bank account. Then we have the 111 million . . . [who] want to join.\" By contrast, G(CLUBS internal documents reflected approximately 5,900 active members as of in or about August 2021.\n\ne. In truth and in fact, and as GUO, JE, and WANG well knew, G|CLUBS provided nothing close to \"a full spectrum of services\" and \"experiences\" to its members. Despite collecting hundreds of millions of dollars in purported membership fees, G|CLUBS maintained a relatively small number of employees and provided its members few to no discernable membership benefits. As of on or about March 8, 2021-months after G|CLUBS launched and began to collect \"membership\" fees-G|CLUBS did not have a business plan or a board of directors.\n\nf. GUO, JE, and WANG also used G|CLUBS as a mechanism to continue fraudulent private placement stock offerings. GUO, and others known and unknown, told GUO's online followers that their purchase of G|CLUBS memberships would entitle them to stock in GUO-affiliated entities, such as GTV and G|Fashion.\n\ni. In a conversation regarding G|CLUBS membership funds on or about May 4, 2021, JE stated, in substance and in part, that \"first of all, [prospective members] are buying the GCLUBS membership, but they are expecting they would probably receive some shares, you know, on, on, on the future GTV, I think this is their expectation.\"\n\nii. On or about July 30, 2021, in a video distributed via social media, GUO stated, in substance and in part, \"Some of the comrades in arms asked, '[w]ill I still get a free stock offer when I buy a G|CLUBS membership?' 100%. Because I said that I have to promise that anyone who buys G-Club membership before September 17 must be allotted shares, which is exactly the same. Because we said that anyone can choose whether to use your money to buy G-Club before September 17, G-Club and the stock shares. You'll get both.\"\n\ng. GUO, JE, WANG, and others known and unknown, asked investors to purchase multiple memberships in GCLUBS, enabling GUO, JE, and WANG to increase the amount of money solicited. In this regard, the G|CLUBS website stated, in substance and in part, that members with multiple memberships would \"receive additional benefits\" when, in truth and in fact, and as GUO, JE, and WANG well knew, multiple memberships did not provide members with commensurate additional benefits.\n\nh. All told, investors purchased hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of G/CLUBS memberships. However, most of this money did not fund the business of G/CLUBS. Rather, MILES GUO, a/k/a \"Ho Wan Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Miles Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Guo Wengui,\" a/k/a\n\n\"Brother Seven,\" a/k/a \"The Principal,\" a/k/a \"Boss,\" KIN MING JE, a/k/a \"William Je,\" a/k/a \"Yu Jianming,\" and YVETTE WANG, a/k/a \"Yanping,\" a/k/a \"Y,\" the defendants, and others known and unknown, misappropriated a substantial portion of the funds victims had paid GICLUBS for \"memberships\" using, among other things, a complex web of entities and bank accounts to do so. For example:\n\ni. G(CLUBS funds, which had been funneled through bank accounts in other entities' names, were used to pay personal expenses for GUO and his family, including luxury purchases of an approximately \\$2.6 million yacht and luxury automobiles that together cost more than \\$5 million.\n\nii. In or about November 2021, JE directed approximately \\$26.5 million of G|CLUBS funds, which had been funneled through bank accounts in other entities' names, toward the purchase of GUO's 50,000-square-foot New Jersey mansion.\n\niii. JE directed the transfer of an additional \\$13 million of G|CLUBS membership payments to an escrow account. The funds were subsequently used to pay for extravagant renovations to GUO's New Jersey mansion, including to a wing for Relative-1 and to a wing for Relative-2, and to purchase various furniture and decorative items including, among other items, Chinese and Persian rugs worth approximately \\$978,000, a \\$62,000 television, and a \\$53,000 fireplace log cradle holder.\n\niv. On or about August 5, 2021, JE directed the transfer of approximately \\$1.1 million consisting of G/CLUBS membership payments into a bank account that .E controlled.\n\nv. G|CLUBS used membership fees to purchase luxury automobiles, including a custom-built Bugatti sports car for approximately \\$4.4 million. While the car's signed\n\npurchase agreement listed GCLUBS as the customer, the initial specifications documentation for the custom-built car named Relative-1 as the customer. Relative-1 had no official position with GCLUBS.\n\n## The Himalaya Exchange\n\n19. From at least in or about April 2021 through at least in or about March 2023, MILES GUO, a/k/a \"Ho Wan Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Miles Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Guo Wengui,\" a/k/a \"Brother Seven,\" a/k/a \"The Principal,\" a/k/a \"Boss,\" and KIN MING JE, a/k/a \"Yu Jianming,\" the defendants, and others known and unknown, fraudulently obtained more than approximately \\$262 million in victim funds through the Himalaya Exchange, a purported cryptocurrency \"ecosystem\" accessible on the internet. The Himalaya Exchange included a purported stablecoin called the Himalaya Dollar (\"HDO\" or \"H Dollar\") and a trading coin called Himalaya Coin (\"HCN\" or \"H Coin\"). The Himalaya Exchange claimed that the \"stablecoin\" was a digital asset with a fixed 1-to-\\$1 value backed by reserves, and that the \"trading coin\" was a cryptocurrency with valuation based on supply and demand. JE was the founder and Chairman of the Himalaya Exchange. The Himalaya Exchange scheme included, but was not limited to, the following:\n\na. In videos distributed via social media, MILES GUO, a/k/a \"Ho Wan Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Miles Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Guo Wengui,\" a/k/a \"Brother Seven,\" a/k/a \"The Principal,\" a/k/a \"Boss,\" the defendant, trumpeted the prospects and valuation of the Himalaya Exchange and both HCN and HDO, which he publicly described as cryptocurrencies. For example, in a video posted on the Internet on or about October 20, 2021, GUO falsely stated the following, among other things, and in substance and in part:\n\ni. \"I am talking about your H Coins, 'Brother Seven' [i.e., GUO] designed it . . . . . []t has the attribute of currency, why? It has 20% gold. Awesome[.] [[]t was born as currency on the first day, so it has value and it is linked to gold . . . clear gold directly. No matter how much it raises, 20% will turn into gold.\"\n\nii. \"If the H Coin is worthless, [the issuer of H coin] can sell all 20% of the gold, exchange it to you, and become your money. Or take all the value of 20% gold and ask everyone to unify it and make it yours.\"\n\niii. \"If anyone loses money, I can say that I will compensate 100%. I give you 100%. Whoever loses money, I will bear it.\"\n\niv. \"I can sell the H Coin in the market in one minute and get it back to my H Dollar, and back to your fiat money unit. . . . [A]nd you can buy anything immediately.\"\n\nb. The initial coin offering of HCN and HDO occurred on or about November 1, 2021. HCN began trading at 10 cents and, within approximately two weeks, the Himalaya Exchange website claimed that each HCN purportedly was worth approximately 27 HDO (i.e., \\$27), which represented a 26,900% increase in value. That is, approximately two weeks after the initial coin offering, the Himalaya Exchange website indicated that HCN purportedly had an approximately \\$27 billion valuation.\n\nc. At the time of the Himalaya Exchange launch, MILES GUO, a/k/a \"Ho Wan Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Miles Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Guo Wengui,\" a/k/a \"Brother Seven,\" a/k/a \"The Principal,\" a/k/a \"Boss,\" the defendant, marketed HCN to his online followers and others. For example, on or about November 1, 2021-the day of the initial coin offering-GUO released an official music video for an original song called \"HCoin To the Moon\" via social media. The phrase \"to the moon\" is popularly associated with cryptocurrencies and implies a sharp increase in value. The music video depicted GUO in various luxurious locations and depicted imagery of gold and wealth.\n\nd. At times, including following the Himalaya Exchange launch, KIN MING JE, a/k/a \"William Je,\" a/k/a \"Yu Jianming,\" the defendant, misleadingly marketed the Himalaya Exchange. For example, in or about June 2022, JE attempted to create the impression that a €3,561,127 purchase of a Ferrari (the \"Ferrari\") from a particular auction house was completed with HDO. JE stated, in substance and in part, that he was \"extremely pleased that [a] buyer decided to purchase [a] world-class car using HDO.\" Contrary to JE's claim, the Ferrari was not purchased using HDO. In truth and in fact, and as JE well knew, a Himalaya Exchange employee sent the auction house an international bank wire to cover the Ferrari, while also processing a corresponding \"transaction\" on the Himalaya Exchange to create the false appearance that the purchase had taken place using HDO. JE's statement was also misleading in that, among other things, the unidentified \"buyer\" of the Ferrari was, in fact, Relative-1.\n\ne. Contrary to representations of MILES GUO, a/k/a \"Ho Wan Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Miles Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Guo Wengui,\" a/k/a \"Brother Seven,\" a/k/a \"The Principal,\" a/k/a \"Boss,\" and KIN MING JE, a/k/a \"William Je,\" a/k/a \"Yu Jianming,\" the defendants, and others known and unknown, HCN and HDO were not cryptocurrencies. In particular, and contrary to the defendants' representations that HCN and HDO were cryptocurrencies, transactions using HCN and HDO were-unlike real cryptocurencies-not recorded on a \"blockchain,\" which is an electronic, publicly accessible, decentralized ledger that uses cryptography to record cryptocurrency transactions Instead of using a publicly accessible blockchain, transactions in HCN and HDO were recorded in an internal database, which was not subject to public review.\n\nf. Moreover, HCN and HDO could not be traded anywhere other than (purportedly) on the Himalaya Exchange. Nor could HCN be traded for, or converted into, other currencies. HCN purportedly could be traded for only HDO (and only on the Himalaya Exchange), and HDO purportedly could be converted only to or from fiat currency (and only on the Himalaya Exchange).\n\ni. Indeed, the HDO and HCN Whitepapers, available on the Himalaya Exchange website, provided in fine print that, contrary to GUO's representations, HCN and HDO were merely \"Credits.\" According to the HCN Whitepaper, the \"operation of the Himalaya Exchange and associated applications and infrastructure will be facilitated through the use of 'Credits.'\" Those credits (i) could \"only be used on the Himalaya Exchange or within the Himalaya Ecosystem,\" and (ii) did \"not carry any right to require their exchange for fiat currency or crypto-assets.\"\n\nii. Moreover, while Himalaya Exchange members could request to exchange their \"HDO\" credits for an equivalent payment in U.S. dollars, the HDO Whitepaper stated that the Himalaya Exchange had the \"discretion\" to deny any such request.\n\ng. In or about April 2022, MILES GUO, a/k/a \"Ho Wan Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Miles Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Guo Wengui,\" a/k/a \"Brother Seven,\" a/k/a \"The Principal,\" a/k/a \"Boss,\" and KN MING JE, a/k/a \"William Je,\" a/k/a \"Yu Jianming,\" the defendants, arranged for the transfer of approximately \\$37 million in Himalaya Exchange funds from a Himalaya Exchange bank account to a particular escrow account. The \\$37 million was structured as a purported \"loan\" to personally guarantee the cost of a luxury yacht that GUO had previously purchased and used, which yacht was then-owned by an entity held in the name of Relative-2.\n\n## Concealment of Ownership and Control\n\n20. Despite his extravagant lifestyle and his control of hundreds of millions of dollars in fraud proceeds, MILES GUO, a/k/a \"Ho Wan Kwok,\" a/k/a \"Miles Kwok,\" a/s/a \"Guo Wengui,\" a/k/a \"Brother Seven,\" a/k/a \"The Principal,\" a/k/a \"Boss,\" the defendant, filed for bankruptcy on or about February 15, 2022. GUO's claim of bankruptcy was based on years-long efforts to obscure the funds used and controlled by GUO, which was a means and method of the G Enterprise. For example, GUO, KIN MING JE, a/k/a \"William Je,\" a/k/a \"Yu Jianming,\" and YVETTE WANG, a/k/a \"Yanping,\" a/k/a \"Y,\" the defendants, regularly moved funds within the G Enterprise and for the benefit of GUO, his family, and his associates, by disguising the money movements as \"loans\" or \"investments.\" As another example, the defendants installed figurehead executives and/or straw owners at the entities within the G Enterprise, while the entities within the G Enterprise were, in reality, owned and/or controlled by GUO, KIN MING JE, a/k/a \"William Je,\" a/k/a \"Yu Jianming,\" and YVETTE WANG, a/k/a \"Yanping,\" a/k/a \"Y,\" the defendants, and others known and unknown.\n\n#### Government Seizure of Proceeds of the G Enterprise\n\n21. O On or about September 20, 2022 and September 21, 2022, U.S. authorities served judicially-authorized seizure warrants on several domestic banks, and subsequently seized approximately \\$335 million of proceeds from bank accounts held in the names of Himalaya Exchange entities and other entities associated with the G Enterprise. Following the September 2022 judicially authorized seizures, KIN MING JE, a/k/a \"William Je,\" a/k/a \"Yu Jianming,\" the defendant, attempted to transfer approximately \\$46 million from domestic bank accounts associated with the Himalaya Exchange, which had not yet been seized by the United States, to a bank account in the UAE that JE controlled.\n\na. Within approximately two days of the first judicially authorized seizures of Himalaya Exchange-related funds, on or about September 22, 2022, JE contacted the management of a domestic bank that held Himalaya Exchange bank accounts. JE sought to implement a wire transfer, which he and a Himalaya Exchange executive claimed to the domestic bank was needed to effectuate a \"redemption\" from HDO to U.S. dollars for an unnamed \"VIP\" (i.e., very important) client of the Himalaya Exchange.\n\nb. In subsequent communications with the domestic bank, JE revealed that the VIP was, in fact, JE himself. JE provided the domestic bank with documents reflecting two purported HCN sales by JE on or about September 22, 2022-totaling 46 million HDO-which JE was attempting to \"convert\" into \\$46 million. In an attempt to protect the assets of the G Enterprise from a judicially authorized seizure, JE twice emphasized to the domestic bank's management, in substance and in part, that the \\$46 million transfer needed to happen \"today or it is meaningless.\"\n\n22. On or about October 16, 2022, pursuant to a judicially authorized warrant, U.S. authorities seized an additional approximately \\$274 million of proceeds from several Himalaya Exchange and G|CLUBS accounts at the domestic bank from which KIN MING JE, a/k/a \"William Je,\" a/k/a \"Yu Jianming,\" the defendant, requested the \\$46 million transfer.\n\n23. As a result of the judicially-authorized seizures, U.S. authorities seized more than approximately \\$634 million of fraud proceeds, including approximately \\$278 million from bank accounts held in the names of the Himalaya Exchange entities that purported to hold the Himalaya Exchange's HDO cash reserves.\n\na. Following the seizures, the Himalaya Exchange website continued to represent that HDO was backed by a \"Reserve consisting of USD and cash-equivalent assets\" when, in truth and in fact, it was not.\n\nb. Despite the seizure of the Himalaya Exchange's cash reserves, the purported price of HCN had not suddenly and sharply declined as of in or about March 2023.\n\n# STATUTORY ALLEGATIONS\n\n24.

Orbit Service Company LLC、Rule of Law Foundation III, Inc.（法治基金）、Rule of Law Society IV, Inc.（法治社会）、Saraca Media Group, Inc.、Taurus Fund LLC、Taurus Management LLC 以及 Voice of Guo Media Inc. 等。\n\nb. 被告人及第3a段中所列实体，连同其他已知和未知人员，是一个从事包括电汇欺诈、银行欺诈、洗钱和证券欺诈在内的犯罪活动的犯罪组织（“G企业”）的成员和关联人员。G企业，包括其领导人、成员和关联人员，构成了 Title 18, United States Code Section 1961(4)（《美国法典》第18篇第1961(4)条）所定义的企业；即一个由郭、余、王、第3a段中所列实体以及其他已知和未知人员组成的事实上的关联实体和个人团体。G企业构成了一个持续运作的组织，其成员作为一个连续单位运作，以实现该企业目标的共同目的。G企业在纽约南区及其他地方运作。G企业从事州际和对外贸易，且其活动对其产生影响。\n\n4. 为进一步实施其计划，被告人MILES GUO（郭文贵），又名“Ho Wan Kwok”，又名“Miles Kwok”，又名“Guo Wengui”，又名“七哥”，又名“校长”，又名“老板”；KIN MING JE（余建明），又名“William Je”，又名“Yu Jianming”；以及YVETTE WANG（王雁平），又名“Yanping”，又名“Y”，与其共谋者清洗了数亿美元的欺诈所得。为掩盖资金的非法来源，郭、余、王将资金转移，并指示将资金转移至至少80个不同实体或个人名下的约500多个账户中并在其中流转，其中包括属于G企业一部分的实体。该欺诈计划的数亿美元所得被直接或间接转移至美国、巴哈马、瑞士和阿拉伯联合酋长国（“阿联酋”）等地的银行账户中，并由余拥有或控制的实体名义持有，包括 ACA Capital、Hamilton Investment Ltd. 和 Hamilton Opportunity Fund SPC。\n\n5. 被告人MILES GUO（郭文贵），又名“Ho Wan Kwok”，又名“Miles Kwok”，又名“Guo Wengui”，又名“七哥”，又名“校长”，又名“老板”；以及 KIN MING JE（余建明），又名“William Je”，又名“Yu Jianming”，将该欺诈计划所得中超过约3亿美元的款项用于自己及其家庭的利益。例如，郭使用欺诈手段获取的受害人资金购买、资助或融资：为郭及其家人在纽泽西州购置一处价值2650万美元、占地约50,000平方英尺的豪宅；为郭的一名近亲兼共谋者（“亲属-1”）购置豪华车辆，包括一辆约350万美元的法拉利和一辆约440万美元的定制布加迪；以郭的一名近亲（“亲属-2”）的名义购买并供郭及其家人使用的一艘价值约3700万美元的豪华游艇；一架价值约14万美元的钢琴；两张各约3.6万美元的床垫；以及为亲属-1的最终利益对一家高风险对冲基金进行的1亿美元投资等。就余而言，除其他事项外，余将至少1000万美元的欺诈所得转移到他及其配偶的个人银行账户中。就 YVETTE WANG（王雁平），又名“Yanping”，又名“Y”而言，除其他事项外，她每年获得至少约50万美元的报酬，获赠一套价值约110万美元的曼哈顿公寓，并被承诺给予价值数百万美元的所谓加密货币。\n\n6. 被告人MILES GUO（郭文贵），又名“Ho Wan Kwok”，又名“Miles Kwok”，又名“Guo Wengui”，又名“七哥”，又名“校长”，又名“老板”；KIN MING JE（余建明），又名“William Je”，又名“Yu Jianming”；以及YVETTE WANG（王雁平），又名“Yanping”，又名“Y”，与其共谋者将该计划运作了数年，并至少持续到2023年3月。他们通过以下方式实施上述行为：除其他事项外，扩大G企业以吸纳更多实体和个人；不断调整该计划的手段和方法，以逃避美国投资者保护、反洗钱和破产法律的执法；并对投诉、要求退还投资资金或批评G企业的个别受害人及其他人进行报复。\n\n企业的宗旨\n\n7. G企业的宗旨包括但不限于以下各项：\n\na. 使该企业的成员和关联人员致富；\n\nb. 获取受害人的金钱和财产；\n\nc. 隐瞒和清洗欺诈所得；\n\nd. 使用欺诈所得为被告人及其共谋者的利益购买昂贵和奢侈物品、车辆及不动产；以及\n\ne. 提升、增加并维护G企业、作为G企业一部分的实体以及G企业成员的地位，包括被告人MILES GUO（郭文贵），又名“Ho Wan Kwok”，又名“Miles Kwok”，又名“Guo Wengui”，又名“七哥”，又名“校长”，又名“老板”，以招揽更多受害人，并对批评或威胁G企业的人士施加影响或进行恐吓。\n\n企业的手段和方法\n\n8. G企业的成员和关联人员开展其事务所采用的手段和方法包括但不限于以下各项：\n\na. 通过虚假和欺诈性陈述致使G企业积累巨额资产；\n\nb. 阻碍和规避执法机构及民事监管机构；\n\nc. 阻碍和无视法院命令；\n\nd. 通过G企业内部实体之间的资金转移等手段隐瞒欺诈所得；以及\n\ne. 骚扰、威胁并压制对被告人MILES GUO（郭文贵），又名“Ho Wan Kwok”，又名“Miles Kwok”，又名“Guo Wengui”，又名“七哥”，又名“校长”，又名“老板”及G企业的批评者。\n\n相关人员和实体\n\n9. 被告人MILES GUO（郭文贵），又名“Ho Wan Kwok”，又名“Miles Kwok”，又名“Guo Wengui”，又名“七哥”，又名“校长”，又名“老板”，是G企业的领导者并指挥该企业。\n\na. 郭是一名流亡的中国商人，于约2015年逃往美国，并以约6750万美元的价格购买了纽约市一家酒店的顶层公寓。至少从约2017年开始，当时自称是亿万富翁的郭获得了大量的网络追随者。郭接受了多次媒体采访并在社交媒体上发帖，声称推进反对中国共产党的运动。\n\nb. 在约2018年，郭创立了两个所谓的非营利组织，即 Rule of Law Foundation（法治基金）和 Rule of Law Society（法治社会）。法治社会的网站将郭列为其“创始人、推广人和发言人”。这两个组织的网站上均刊登了郭的照片。郭利用这些非营利组织聚集与其所谓的反对中国共产党运动保持一致、并倾向于相信郭有关投资和赚钱机会的言论的追随者。事实上，正如郭深知的那样，他和其他人提供了虚假和具有重大误导性的信息来推销这些“机会”，并诈骗郭的追随者和其他受害人。郭指示他人创建并维护各种公司实体，这些实体后来构成了由郭掌管的G企业。\n\n10. 在所有相关时间内，被告人KIN MING JE（余建明），又名“William Je”，又名“Yu Jianming”，是拥有香港和英国双重国籍的公民，主要居住在英国，同时前往美国及其他地方。余拥有并运营对该计划至关重要的众多公司和投资工具，并担任G企业的财务架构师和关键洗钱人。\n\n11. 在所有相关时间内，被告 YVETTE WANG（王雁平，又名“Yanping”、又名“Y”）为中国公民，主要居住在纽约州纽约市，并与被告 MILES GUO（郭文贵，又名“Ho Wan Kwok”、又名“Miles Kwok”、又名“Guo Wengui”、又名“七哥”、又名“校长”、又名“老板”）保持着密切关系。具体而言，王自至少约 2018 年起已为郭及其家族工作数年，并担任郭以及 G Enterprise（G系列企业）的“幕僚长”。以该身份，王在属于 G系列企业一部分且作为本文所述欺诈工具的各类实体中担任职务并实施控制。例如，王在据称管理郭资金的实体中担任总裁、财务主管和秘书，并在 G系列企业内的其他实体中实施控制，即使她在其中并未持有任何正式职位或头衔。\n\n12. 在与本起诉书相关的特定时间内，Saraca Media Group, Inc.（“Saraca”）是一家总部位于纽约的公司。Relative-1（亲属-1）为其最终实益拥有人。\n\n13. 在与本起诉书相关的特定时间内，GTV Media Group, Inc.（“GTV”）是一家总部位于纽约州纽约市的据称专注于新闻的社交媒体平台。GTV 在实际功能上由被告郭文贵（又名“Ho Wan Kwok”、又名“Miles Kwok”、又名“Guo Wengui”、又名“七哥”、又名“老板”）所有并控制，尽管郭在 GTV 并未持有正式职位或头衔。被告 KIN MING JE（余建明，又名“William Je”、又名“Yu Jianming”）同样在 GTV 未持有正式职位或头衔，但实际上对其财务实施控制。Saraca 为 GTV 的母公司。被告王雁平（又名“Yanping”、又名“Y”）为 GTV 的“执行董事”。\n\n14. 在与本起诉书相关的特定时间内，G Club Operations, LLC（“G|CLUBS”）是一家总部位于波多黎各和纽约州纽约市的据称会员制组织。G|CLUBS 在实际功能上由被告郭文贵（又名“Ho Wan Kwok”、又名“Miles Kwok”、又名“Guo Wengui”、又名“七哥”、又名“校长”、又名“老板”）所有并控制，尽管郭在 G|CLUBS 并未持有正式职位或头衔。被告余建明（又名“William Je”、又名“Yu Jianming”）同样在 G|CLUBS 未持有正式职位或头衔，但对其财务施加影响并洗钱其收益。王雁平（又名“Yanping”、又名“Y”）同样在 G|CLUBS 未持有正式职位或头衔，但实际上控制其日常运营，并确保郭的指示在整个组织内得到执行。G|CLUBS 在形式上由一名同谋者（“CC-1”）所有，该同谋者与郭、王、亲属-1 以及其他已知和未知的人士协同行动，以推进 G系列企业的目标。\n\n15. 在与本起诉书相关的特定时间内，“Himalaya Exchange”（喜马拉雅交易所）是一个据称的加密货币“生态系统”，由被告余建明（又名“William Je”、又名“Yu Jianming”）通过其拥有的位于海外的各类实体创立并运营。在实际功能上由被告郭文贵（又名“Ho Wan Kwok”、又名“Miles Kwok”、又名“Guo Wengui”、又名“七哥”、又名“校长”、又名“老板”）所有并控制的实体（如 G|CLUBS 和 G|Fashion）与喜马拉雅交易所存在据称的业务关系。郭推广喜马拉雅交易所并声称是其据称加密货币的设计者，尽管郭在喜马拉雅交易所并未持有正式职位或头衔。王同样在喜马拉雅交易所未持有正式职位或头衔，但除其他事项外，获分配了价值数百万美元的据称加密货币，协助喜马拉雅交易所人员的招募，并致力于将欺诈所得转移至喜马拉雅交易所。\nG系列企业的欺诈行为\nGTV 私募\n\n16. 约在 2020 年 4 月至约 2020 年 6 月期间，被告郭文贵（又名“Ho Wan Kwok”、又名“Miles Kwok”、又名“Guo Wengui”、又名“七哥”、又名“校长”、又名“老板”）、被告余建明（又名“William Je”、又名“Yu Jianming”）和被告王雁平（又名“Yanping”、又名“Y”），以及其他已知和未知的人士，通过与 GTV 相关的非法私募股票发售（“GTV 私募”），欺诈性地获取了超过 400,000,000 美元的受害者资金。GTV 私募计划包括但不限于以下内容：\n\na. 约在 2020 年 4 月 21 日，郭在社交媒体上发布并促使发布了一段视频，宣布通过私募方式未注册发售 GTV 普通股。在该视频中，郭实质上且部分地描述了 GTV 私募的投资条款，并指引人们通过移动通讯应用程序与他联系以解答关于 GTV 私募的任何疑问。该视频及 GTV 私募材料——包括书面《机密信息备忘录》（即《私募备忘录》或“PPM”）、《认购协议》和《投资程序指引》——通过移动通讯应用程序、社交媒体和短信发送给数千名潜在投资者，包括位于 Southern District of New York（纽约南区）的投资者。\n\nb. PPM 将 GTV 宣传为“首个将公民新闻和社会新闻的力量与最先进的技术、大数据、人工智能、区块链技术和实时互动通信相结合的平台”。\n\nc. 根据 PPM 的元数据，余是 PPM 的“作者”。PPM 披露了 GTV 私募的条款，并将郭认定为 GTV 的“发起人与顾问”。根据 PPM 以及其他 GTV 材料，郭和余均未在 GTV 担任任何正式管理职位。被告王雁平（又名“Yanping”、又名“Y”）在 PPM 中被列为 GTV 的“执行董事”。\n\nd. PPM 还包含以下实质性及部分陈述等内容：\n\ni. GTV 私募面向“有兴趣评估向 GTV 投资资本之机会”的投资者；\n\nii. GTV 计划将从 GTV 私募中募集的所得款项用于“拓展和加强业务”；以及\n\niii. PPM 包含一份图表，逐项列明从 GTV 私募中募集的“预期所得款项用途”：\n说明 所得款项百分比\n收购公司以加强和发展 GTV 约 70%\n升级 GTV 技术和安全 约 10%\n市场营销 约 8%\n营运资金 约 7%\n其他 约 5%\n总计 100%\n\ne. 在约 2020 年 4 月 20 日至约 2020 年 6 月 2 日期间，价值约 452,000,000 美元的 GTV 普通股被出售给位于美国（包括纽约南区）及海外的 5,500 多名投资者。投资者参与 GTV 私募部分是基于确信其资金将如 PPM 所承诺的那样投资于 GTV 以发展和壮大该业务。\n\nf. 来自 GTV 私募投资者的绝大部分资金并未用于发展和壮大 GTV 业务，而是直接存入了以 GTV 母公司 Saraca 名义开立的银行账户，Saraca 由亲属-1 实益拥有。\n\ng. GTV 私募并非依据向 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission（美国证券交易委员会，即“SEC”）提交的注册声明进行。相反，该发售据称是依据允许出售未注册证券的 SEC 法规进行的，但须受限于所发售证券的投资者类型以及招揽其投资的方式方面的限制。然而，为规避这些限制，郭及其控制下的其他人利用了至少一个中间实体，代表个别不符合参与 GTV 私募资格的投资者资金池购买 GTV 股票。\n\nh. 约在 2020 年 6 月初，即 GTV 私募结束仅数天后，被告郭文贵（又名“Ho Wan Kwok”、又名“Miles Kwok”、又名“Guo Wengui”、又名“七哥”、又名“校长”、又名“老板”）、被告余建明（又名“William Je”、又名“Yu Jianming”）和被告王雁平（又名“Yanping”、又名“Y”）及其同谋者，挪用了从 GTV 私募投资者处募集的约 100,000,000 美元，并指示将这些资金存入一家高风险对冲基金（“Fund-1”），以谋取 Saraca 及其最终实益拥有人亲属-1 的利益。该交易违背了 PPM 向 GTV 潜在投资者作出的关于 GTV 投资将如何使用的陈述。事实上，对 Fund-1 投资的 100,000,000 美元并非用于“加强和发展”GTV 的业务或使 GTV 受益，而是为了 Saraca 和亲属-1 的利益而进行的。提供投资于 Fund-1 的 100,000,000 美元的受害者并未持有 Saraca 的任何股份。最终，对 Fund-1 的投资损失了约 30,000,000 美元的价值。\n\ni. 在将 100,000,000 美元的 GTV 受害者资金转移至 Fund-1 之后，被告郭文贵（又名“Miles Guo”、又名“Miles Kwok”、又名“Guo”、又名“七哥”、又名“校长”）继续利用虚假和误导性陈述推广 GTV。\n农场借贷项目\n\n17. 自约 2020 年 6 月开始——即被告郭文贵（又名“Ho Wan Kwok”、又名“Miles Kwok”、又名“Guo Wengui”、又名“七哥”、又名“校长”、又名“老板”）、被告余建明（又名“William Je”、又名“Yu Jianming”）和被告王雁平（又名“Yanping”、又名“Y”）及其同谋者为了 Saraca 和亲属-1 的利益挪用 GTV 私募资金的同一个月——郭、余及其同谋者通过“Himalaya Farm Alliance”（喜马拉雅农场联盟）欺诈性地获取了超过约 150,000,000 美元的受害者资金。郭组织并推广的喜马拉雅农场联盟是由位于世界各大城市的非正式团体（每个团体被称为一个“农场”）组成的联合体。郭、余、王以及代表他们并按照其指示工作的其他人，通过向 GTV 私募中的投资者作出进一步的虚假陈述并欺诈性地招揽进一步投资来获取这些资金，这次是以向农场提供“借款”的形式，并承诺此类借款可以按每借出一美元兑换一股的转换率转换为 GTV 普通股（“农场借贷项目”）。农场借贷项目计划包括但不限于以下内容：\n\na. 自约 2020 年 6 月起，持有用于处理通过 GTV 私募募集的资金的账户的国内银行开始冻结并关闭与 GTV 相关的银行账户，除其他原因外，是因为这些账户收到了数十笔大额进账电汇，其中一些电汇提及了未注册的股票发售。\n\nb. 这些银行账户的关闭阻碍了郭、余及其同谋者向寻求投资 GTV 的受害者收取款项的能力。\n\nc. 约在 2020 年 7 月 22 日，在一份通过社交媒体分发的视频中，郭推广了农场借贷项目，实质上且部分地表示：“……这笔钱已经换成了一种新的合作方式，与当地农场签订借贷合同，利息为 6%，给你股权……在这种情况下，这是一笔借款，然后你可以要求获得股票……”。根据郭及代表他工作的人士的说法，寻求投资（或再投资）GTV 的个人可以参与农场借贷项目。\n\nd. 在推出农场贷款项目（Farm Loan Program）后，GUO（郭）继续宣传 GTV 并对 GTV 的价值作虚假陈述。例如，在2020年8月2日或该日前后，在一段通过社交媒体传播的视频中，郭作出了如下实质和部分内容的虚假陈述：“GTV 价值多少？……20亿美元的市值。”而事实上，且郭对此明知的是，GTV 的市值远低于此，原因在于除其他因素外，GTV 是一家未产生任何收入的新企业。\n\ne. 数千名受害者通过向各农场（而非 GTV）控制的银行账户汇款，向农场“出借”了资金。根据各农场往往未予副署的“贷款协议”（Loan Agreements），这些资金原定用于农场的“一般营运资金用途”。\n\n1 本文中归于 KWOK（郭）的所有陈述均由普通话翻译为英文。\n\nf. 郭和 JE（余）挪用了通过农场贷款项目筹集的资金。例如：\n\ni. 约2000万美元被转入 Relative-1（亲属-1）名下，其中约95万美元用于支付一架私人飞机的机组人员服务费用；\n\nii. 约500万美元被转入郭的配偶名下的一家实体；\n\niii. 约230万美元用于支付一艘价值约3700万美元、长约145英尺的豪华游艇的维护费用，该游艇名义上归 Relative-2（亲属-2）所有，并由郭使用；以及\n\niv. 约1000万美元被转入以余和/或余的配偶名义开立的个人银行账户。\nG|CLUBS\n\n18. 在对农场贷款项目作虚假陈述的同时，被告 MILES GUO（郭文贵），又名“Ho Wan Kwok”、“Miles Kwok”、“Guo Wengui”、“七哥”、“校长”、“老板”；被告 KIN MING JE（余建明），又名“William Je”、“Yu Jianming”；以及被告 YVETTE WANG（王雁平），又名“Yanping”、“Y”，与已知和未知的其他人，通过欺诈手段诱导郭的追随者将更多资金转入一个名为 G|CLUBS 的所谓在线会员俱乐部。至少从2020年6月前后至至少2023年3月前后，郭、余、王以及已知和未知的其他人，通过 G|CLUBS 欺诈性地获取了超过约2.50亿美元的受害者资金。该计划包括但不限于以下内容：\n\na. 至少自2020年6月20日或该日前后起，在一段通过社交媒体传播的视频中，郭宣传并鼓励个人购买郭所称的“G Club……会员卡”。\n\nb. G|CLUBS 于2020年10月前后正式推出，其在其网站上声称自己是“一个提供全方位服务的独家高端会员计划”，并且是“通往精心策划的世界级产品、服务和体验的门户”。\n\nc. 要加入 G|CLUBS，会员除需支付年度会员费外，还必须一次性付款购买“会员资格”。会员资格的费用因拟加入会员选择的会员等级而异：5级会员资格费用为50,000美元；4级会员资格费用为40,000美元；3级会员资格费用为30,000美元；2级会员资格费用为20,000美元；1级会员资格费用为10,000美元。\n\nd. 2021年7月5日或该日前后，在一段通过社交媒体传播的视频中，郭作出了如下实质和部分内容的陈述：已有“25,000名[G|CLUBS]会员……银行账户里有1亿美元现金。然后我们还有1.11亿……[想要]加入的人。”相比之下，G|CLUBS 的内部文件反映，截至2021年8月前后，其活跃会员仅约为5,900名。\n\ne. 而事实上，且郭、余和王对此明知的是，G|CLUBS 向其会员提供的服务和“体验”根本谈不上“全方位”。尽管收取了数亿美元的所谓会员费，G|CLUBS 仅保留了相对较少数量的员工，且几乎没有向其会员提供任何明显的会员福利。截至2021年3月8日或该日前后——即 G|CLUBS 推出并开始收取“会员”费数月之后——G|CLUBS 既没有商业计划，也没有董事会。\n\nf. 郭、余和王还将 G|CLUBS 作为继续进行欺诈性私募股票发行的工具。郭以及已知和未知的其他人告知郭的在线追随者，购买 G|CLUBS 会员资格将使其有权获得郭关联实体（如 GTV 和 G|Fashion）的股票。\n\ni. 在2021年5月4日或该日前后一次关于 G|CLUBS 会员资金的谈话中，余陈述了如下实质和部分内容：“首先，[拟加入的会员]购买 GCLUBS 会员资格，但他们期望自己可能会在未来的 GTV 上获得一些股份，你知道，我认为这是他们的期望。”\n\nii. 2021年7月30日或该日前后，在一段通过社交媒体传播的视频中，郭作出了如下实质和部分内容的陈述：“有些战友问：‘我买 G|CLUBS 会员还能免费拿股票吗？’100%。因为我说过，我必须保证9月17日之前买 G-Club 会员的任何人一定给配股，这是一模一样的。因为我们说过，任何人都可以选择是否在9月17日之前用你的钱买 G-Club，G-Club 和股票份额。你两个都会拿到。”\n\ng. 郭、余、王以及已知和未知的其他人要求投资者在 G|CLUBS 购买多份会员资格，从而使郭、余和王能够增加所招揽的资金金额。对此，G|CLUBS 网站作出了如下实质和部分内容的声称：拥有多份会员资格的会员将“获得额外福利”；而事实上，且郭、余和王对此明知的是，多份会员资格并未向会员提供相称的额外福利。\n\nh. 总计，投资者购买了价值数亿美元的 G|CLUBS 会员资格。然而，这笔资金的大部分并未用于资助 G|CLUBS 的业务。相反，被告郭文贵（又名“Ho Wan Kwok”、“Miles Kwok”、“Guo Wengui”、“七哥”、“校长”、“老板”）、被告余建明（又名“William Je”、“Yu Jianming”）以及被告王雁平（又名“Yanping”、“Y”），与已知和未知的其他人，挪用了受害者向 G|CLUBS 支付用于“会员资格”的大部分资金，其手段包括利用实体和银行账户构成的复杂网络。例如：\n\ni. 曾通过以其他实体名义开立的银行账户进行转移的 G|CLUBS 资金，被用于支付郭及其家人的个人开支，包括购买一艘价值约260万美元的游艇以及总价超过500万美元的豪华汽车等奢侈品。\n\nii. 2021年11月前后，余指示将曾通过以其他实体名义开立的银行账户转移的约2650万美元 G|CLUBS 资金，用于购买郭位于新泽西州面积为50,000平方英尺的豪宅。\n\niii. 余指示将另外1300万美元的 G|CLUBS 会员付款转入一个托管账户。该资金随后被用于支付郭的新泽西豪宅的奢华装修费用（包括为亲属-1打造的侧厅和为亲属-2打造的侧厅），并用于购买各种家具和装饰品，其中包括价值约978,000美元的中国和波斯地毯、一台价值62,000美元的电视机以及一个价值53,000美元的壁炉柴架。\n\niv. 2021年8月5日或该日前后，余指示将由 G|CLUBS 会员付款构成的约110万美元转入余所控制的一个银行账户。\n\nv. G|CLUBS 使用会员费购买豪华汽车，包括一辆价值约440万美元的定制布加迪（Bugatti）跑车。虽然该车签署的购车协议将 G|CLUBS 列为客户，但该定制车的初始规格文件将亲属-1列为客户。亲属-1在 G|CLUBS 并无任何正式职务。\n喜马拉雅交易所（The Himalaya Exchange）\n\n19. 至少从2021年4月前后至至少2023年3月前后，被告郭文贵（又名“Ho Wan Kwok”、“Miles Kwok”、“Guo Wengui”、“七哥”、“校长”、“老板”）和被告余建明（又名“Yu Jianming”），与已知和未知的其他人，通过喜马拉雅交易所（Himalaya Exchange）这一可通过互联网访问的所谓加密货币“生态系统”，欺诈性地获取了超过约2.62亿美元的受害者资金。喜马拉雅交易所包括一种名为喜马拉雅美元（Himalaya Dollar，“HDO”或“H Dollar”）的所谓稳定币，以及一种名为喜马拉雅币（Himalaya Coin，“HCN”或“H Coin”）的交易币。喜马拉雅交易所声称该“稳定币”是由储备金支持、具有1比1美元固定价值的数字资产，而该“交易币”是一种估值基于供需关系的加密货币。余为喜马拉雅交易所的创始人兼董事长。喜马拉雅交易所计划包括但不限于以下内容：\n\na. 在通过社交媒体传播的视频中，被告郭文贵（又名“Ho Wan Kwok”、“Miles Kwok”、“Guo Wengui”、“七哥”、“校长”、“老板”）大肆鼓吹喜马拉雅交易所及其公开描述为加密货币的 HCN 和 HDO 的前景与估值。例如，在2021年10月20日或该日前后发布在互联网上的一段视频中，郭作出了包含如下内容（除其他事项外）且具如下实质和部分的虚假陈述：\n\ni. “我说的是你们的喜币，‘七哥’[即郭]设计的……它具有货币属性，为什么？它有20%的黄金。太棒了……它诞生的第一天就是货币，所以它有价值，它与黄金挂钩……直接是明金。不管募集多少，20%都会变成黄金。”\n\nii. “如果喜币毫无价值，[喜币发行方]可以卖掉全部20%的黄金，兑换给你们，变成你们的钱。或者把20%黄金的所有价值拿出来，让大家统一起来变成你们的。”\n\niii. “如果有任何人亏钱，我可以说是百分之百赔偿。我给你们百分之百。谁亏了钱，我来承担。”\n\niv. “我可以在一分钟内把喜币在市场上卖掉，换回我的喜美元，再换回你们的法定货币单位……然后你马上就可以买任何东西。”\n\nb. HCN 和 HDO 的首次代币发行发生于2021年11月1日或该日前后。HCN 开始交易时的价格为10美分，在约两周之内，喜马拉雅交易所网站声称每枚 HCN 据称价值约27 HDO（即27美元），这代表了26,900%的价值增长。也就是说，在首次代币发行约两周后，喜马拉雅交易所网站显示 HCN 据称拥有约270亿美元的估值。\n\nc. 在喜马拉雅交易所推出之际，被告郭文贵（又名“Ho Wan Kwok”、“Miles Kwok”、“Guo Wengui”、“七哥”、“校长”、“老板”）向其在线追随者及其他人推销 HCN。例如，在2021年11月1日（即首次代币发行当天）或该日前后，郭通过社交媒体发布了一首名为《HCoin To the Moon》的原创歌曲的官方音乐视频。“To the moon”（登月/冲上月球）这一表述通常与加密货币相关联，意指价值大幅暴涨。该音乐视频展示了郭身处各种奢华场所，并描绘了黄金和财富的意象。\n\nd. 有时（包括在 Himalaya Exchange（喜马拉雅交易所）上线之后），被告 KIN MING JE（余建明），又名“William Je”，又名“Yu Jianming”，对喜马拉雅交易所进行了误导性营销。例如，在 2022年6月 或前后，JE 试图营造出从某拍卖行以 €3,561,127 购买一辆法拉利（Ferrari，以下简称“法拉利”）是使用 HDO 完成的假象。JE 在实质上且部分地声称，他“非常高兴看到有买家决定使用 HDO 购买世界级名车”。与 JE 的声称相反，该法拉利并非使用 HDO 购买。真实情况是，且正如 JE 明确知晓的那样，一名喜马拉雅交易所员工向该拍卖行发送了国际银行电汇以支付该法拉利款项，同时还在喜马拉雅交易所上处理了一笔对应的“交易”，以制造出该购买是使用 HDO 进行的虚假表象。JE 的声明还具有误导性，原因包括该法拉利未具名的“买家”实际上是 Relative-1（亲属-1）。\n\ne. 与被告 MILES GUO（郭文贵），又名“Ho Wan Kwok”，又名“Miles Kwok”，又名“Guo Wengui”，又名“七哥”（Brother Seven），又名“校长”（The Principal），又名“老板”（Boss），以及被告 KIN MING JE，又名“William Je”，又名“Yu Jianming”，以及其他已知和未知人士的陈述相反，HCN 和 HDO 并非加密货币。具体而言，与被告关于 HCN 和 HDO 是加密货币的陈述相反，使用 HCN 和 HDO 的交易并未（与真正的加密货币不同）记录在“区块链”上——区块链是一种使用密码学记录加密货币交易的电子化、公开可访问的去中心化账本。HCN 和 HDO 的交易并未记录在公开可访问的区块链上，而是记录在一个不受公众审查的内部数据库中。\n\nf. 此外，HCN 和 HDO 除（据称）在喜马拉雅交易所之外，无法在任何其他地方交易。HCN 也无法兑换为其他货币或转换为其他货币。HCN 据称只能兑换为 HDO（且仅限在喜马拉雅交易所），而 HDO 据称只能与法定货币进行双向兑换（且仅限在喜马拉雅交易所）。\n\ni. 事实上，喜马拉雅交易所网站上提供的 HDO 和 HCN 白皮书在小字条款中明确规定，与 GUO 的陈述相反，HCN 和 HDO 仅仅是“积分”（Credits）。根据 HCN 白皮书，“喜马拉雅交易所及相关应用与基础设施的运营将通过使用‘积分’来推动。”这些积分 (i)“只能在喜马拉雅交易所或喜马拉雅生态系统内使用”，且 (ii)“不附带任何要求将其兑换为法定货币或加密资产的权利”。\n\nii. 此外，虽然喜马拉雅交易所会员可以申请将其“HDO”积分兑换为等额的美元付款，但 HDO 白皮书载明，喜马拉雅交易所拥有拒绝任何此类申请的“自由裁量权”。\n\ng. 在 2022年4月 或前后，被告 MILES GUO，又名“Ho Wan Kwok”，又名“Miles Kwok”，又名“Guo Wengui”，又名“七哥”，又名“校长”，又名“老板”，以及被告 KIN MING JE，又名“William Je”，又名“Yu Jianming”，安排将喜马拉雅交易所银行账户中约 $37,000,000 的喜马拉雅交易所资金转移至某特定的托管账户。这 $37,000,000 被构造成一笔所谓的“贷款”，用以为 GUO 此前购买并使用的豪华游艇的费用提供个人担保，该游艇当时由一家以 Relative-2（亲属-2）名义持有的实体拥有。\n\n隐瞒所有权与控制权\n\n20. 尽管生活奢靡并控制着数亿美元的欺诈收益，被告 MILES GUO，又名“Ho Wan Kwok”，又名“Miles Kwok”，又名“Guo Wengui”，又名“七哥”，又名“校长”，又名“老板”，仍于 2022年2月15日 或前后申请破产。GUO 的破产主张是建立在多年来掩盖 GUO 所使用和控制的资金的基础之上的，这也是 G Enterprise（G系列企业）的一种手段和方法。例如，被告 GUO、KIN MING JE（又名“William Je”，又名“Yu Jianming”）以及 YVETTE WANG（王雁平，又名“Yanping”，又名“Y”）经常通过将资金转移伪装成“贷款”或“投资”，在 G系列企业 内部为 GUO、其家人及其关联人的利益调拨资金。又如，被告在 G系列企业 下属实体中安插傀儡高管和/或挂名人所有者，而 G系列企业 下属实体实际上由被告 GUO、KIN MING JE（又名“William Je”，又名“Yu Jianming”）、YVETTE WANG（又名“Yanping”，又名“Y”）以及其他已知和未知人士拥有和/或控制。\n\n政府扣押 G系列企业的收益\n\n21. 在 2022年9月20日 和 2022年9月21日 或前后，美国当局向多家国内银行送达了经司法授权的扣押令，随后从以喜马拉雅交易所实体及与 G系列企业 关联的其他实体名义开设的银行账户中扣押了约 $335,000,000 的收益。在 2022年9月 经司法授权的扣押发生后，被告 KIN MING JE，又名“William Je”，又名“Yu Jianming”，企图将与喜马拉雅交易所关联的国内银行账户中尚未被美国扣押的约 $46,000,000 转移至 JE 在 UAE（阿联酋）控制的银行账户。\n\na. 在首次经司法授权扣押喜马拉雅交易所相关资金的约两天内，即 2022年9月22日 或前后，JE 联系了一家持有喜马拉雅交易所银行账户的国内银行的管理层。JE 试图进行一笔电汇，他和一名喜马拉雅交易所高管向该国内银行声称，需要此电汇以为喜马拉雅交易所的一名未具名“VIP”（即贵宾）客户办理将 HDO “赎回”为美元的业务。\n\nb. 在随后与该国内银行的沟通中，JE 透露该 VIP 实际上就是 JE 本人。JE 向该国内银行提供了反映 JE 于 2022年9月22日 或前后进行的两次据称出售 HCN 的文件——总额达 46,000,000 HDO——JE 企图将其“转换”为 $46,000,000。为了保护 G系列企业 的资产免受司法授权扣押，JE 两次向该国内银行管理层在实质上且部分地强调，这笔 $46,000,000 的转账必须“在今天完成，否则就毫无意义了”。\n\n22. 在 2022年10月16日 或前后，根据经司法授权的扣押令，美国当局从被告 KIN MING JE（又名“William Je”，又名“Yu Jianming”）要求转出 $46,000,000 的该国内银行中的数个喜马拉雅交易所和 G|CLUBS 账户中，额外扣押了约 $274,000,000 的收益。\n\n23. 作为经司法授权扣押的结果，美国当局扣押了超过约 $634,000,000 的欺诈收益，其中包括从以据称持有喜马拉雅交易所 HDO 现金储备的喜马拉雅交易所实体名义开设的银行账户中扣押的约 $278,000,000。\n\na. 在扣押发生后，喜马拉雅交易所网站继续宣称 HDO 由“由美元和现金等价物资产组成的储备”作为后盾，而真实情况是，事实并非如此。\n\nb. 尽管喜马拉雅交易所的现金储备被扣押，截至 2023年3月 或前后，HCN 的据称价格并未出现突发性暴跌。\n\n法定指控\n\n24. 至少自 2018年 或前后起至至少 2023年3月 或前后（含该时期），在 Southern District of New York（纽约南区）及其他地区，被告 MILES GUO（又名“Ho Wan Kwok”，又名“Miles Kwok”，又名“Guo Wengui”，又名“七哥”，又名“校长”，又名“老板”）、KIN MING JE（又名“William Je”，又名“Yu Jianming”）以及 YVETTE WANG（又名“Yanping”，又名“Y”），与已知和未知的其他人，作为受雇于上述企业（即 G系列企业）并与该企业关联的人员（该企业从事州际和对外贸易，且其活动影响州际和对外贸易），蓄意且明知地相互联合、共谋、同盟并达成协议，违反合众国敲诈勒索法律，即 Title 18, United States Code, Section 1962(c)，也就是直接和间接地通过一连串敲诈勒索活动模式（如 Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1961(1) 和 1961(5) 所界定）经营和参与经营 G系列企业 的事务，其中包括多起：\n\na. 根据 Title 18, United States Code, Section 1343（涉及电汇欺诈）可予起诉的行为；\n\nb. 根据 Title 18, United States Code, Section 1344（涉及金融机构欺诈）可予起诉的行为；\n\nc. 根据 Title 18, United States Code, Section 1956（涉及货币工具洗钱）可予起诉的行为；\n\nd. 根据 Title 18, United States Code, Section 1957（涉及从事源自特定非法活动的财产的货币交易）可予起诉的行为；以及\n\ne. 涉及在证券销售中进行欺诈的犯罪，违反 Title 15, United States Code, Sections 78j(b) 和 78ff，以及 Title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 240.10b-5。\n\n25. 该共谋的一部分内容是被告各方均同意，共谋者将在经营该企业事务的过程中实施至少两起敲诈勒索活动行为。\n\n26. 被告 MILES GUO（又名“Ho Wan Kwok”，又名“Miles Kwok”，又名“Guo Wengui”，又名“七哥”，又名“校长”，又名“老板”）、KIN MING JE（又名“William Je”，又名“Yu Jianming”）以及 YVETTE WANG（又名“Yanping”，又名“Y”），与已知和未知的其他人，企图通过各种非法手段和方法推进敲诈勒索共谋的目的，并直接和间接地经营和参与经营 G系列企业 的事务，包括：\n\na. 被告致使 G系列企业 通过虚假和欺诈性失实陈述积聚了巨额资产。\n\nb. 被告致使 G系列企业 通过包括在 G系列企业 内部实体之间进行资金转移等方式隐瞒其欺诈收益。\n\nc. 被告致使 G系列企业 通过针对其反对者的威胁和恐吓使其批评者噤声。\n\nd. 被告阻碍、影响并干预了一项官方程序。\n\ne. 被告阻碍并干预了法院命令。\n\n（Title 18, United States Code, Section 1962(d)。）\n\n罪名项二（共谋实施电汇欺诈与银行欺诈）\n\n大陪审团进一步指控：\n\n27. 本起诉书第 1 段至第 23 段所载指控在此重述并再次指控，如同在此已完整载明。\n\n28. 至少自 2018年 或前后起至至少 2023年3月 或前后（含该时期），在纽约南区及其他地区，被告 MILES GUO（又名“Ho Wan Kwok”，又名“Miles Kwok”，又名“Guo Wengui”，又名“七哥”，又名“校长”，又名“老板”）、KIN MING JE（又名“William Je”，又名“Yu Jianming”）以及 YVETTE WANG（又名“Yanping”，又名“Y”），与已知和未知的其他人，蓄意且明知地相互联合、共谋、同盟并达成协议实施电汇欺诈，违反 Title 18, United States Code, Section 1343。\n\n29. 该共谋的一部分及目的是，被告 MILES GUO（郭文贵），又名“Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）”、“Miles Kwok（郭文贵）”、“Guo Wengui（郭文贵）”、“Brother Seven（七哥）”、“The Principal（校长）”、“Boss（老板）”，被告 KIN MING JE（余建明），又名“William Je（余建明）”、“Yu Jianming（余建明）”，以及被告 YVETTE WANG（王雁平），又名“Yanping（雁平）”、“Y”，与其他已知和未知人员，在明知的情况下策划并意图策划一项欺诈计划与手法，并通过虚假和欺诈性的借口、陈述及承诺获取金钱和财产，为执行该计划与手法，在跨州及对外商业往来中，通过有线电、无线电和电视通信传输并致使传输文字、信号、标志、图像和声音，违反了 Title 18, United States Code, Section 1343；即：郭、余、王及其他已知和未知人员，通过提供重大虚假和具有误导性的信息及陈述，欺诈性地诱使受害者汇款。\n\n30. 该共谋的进一步部分及目的是，被告 MILES GUO，又名“Ho Wan Kwok”、“Miles Kwok”、“Guo Wengui”、“Brother Seven”、“The Principal”、“Boss”，被告 KIN MING JE，又名“William
