## **DECLARATION OF LEE VARTAN**

I, Lee Vartan, Esq., hereby declare:

1. I am a member of the law firm Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi PC, and counsel to defendant Mei Guo ("Ms. Guo") in the within action.

2. I make this declaration pursuant to the Court's December 21, 2023 *Consented to in Part Preliminary Injunction Pursuant to Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 7065* (the "Preliminary Injunction Order") and the January 3, 2024 *Order Granting Consent Motion for Extension of Time*.

3. Earlier today, my office received a wire, transferring the JNFX Assets, as defined in the Preliminary Injunction Order, to our Attorney Trust Account.

4. On December 18, 2023, JNFX advised the Trustee that it was holding 9,359,720.99 Euros in an account held by Whitecroft Shore Limited.

5. My firm received the entirety of those funds today into our Attorney Trust Account at Santander Bank. A conversion rate of 1.0918 was applied by the bank, with a total of \$10,218,943.38 deposited into our Attorney Trust Account. A true and correct copy of the wire confirmation is annexed as Exhibit A.

6. My firm is in receipt of the Preliminary Injunction Order and agrees to be bound by the Order.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, to the best of my knowledge, information and belief, and after reasonable inquiry, I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
