# **NINTH SUPPLEMENTAL DECLARATION OF DISINTERESTEDNESS OF LUC A. DESPINS**

I, Luc A. Despins, declare the following is true to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief:

1. I submit this declaration (the "Ninth Supplemental Declaration") to supplement (a) the declaration submitted to the Court on July 7, 2022 [Docket No. 515-1] (the "Initial Declaration")[2](#page-0-1) as part of the U.S. Trustee's request to appoint me as chapter 11 trustee (the "Trustee") in the chapter 11 case of Ho Wan Kwok (the "Individual Debtor") pending before this Court, which is now being jointly administered with the chapter 11 cases of Genever Holdings Corporation and Genever Holdings LLC (collectively, the "Chapter 11 Cases"); (b) the declaration submitted to the Court on July 12, 2022 [Docket No. 538] (the "First Supplemental Declaration"); (c) the declaration submitted to the Court on July 28, 2022 [Docket No. 633] (the "Second Supplemental Declaration"); (d) the declaration submitted to the Court on August 29,

1 The Debtors in these chapter 11 cases are Ho Wan Kwok (also known as Guo Wengui, Miles Guo, and Miles Kwok, as well as numerous other aliases) (last four digits of tax identification number: 9595), Genever Holdings LLC (last four digits of tax identification number: 8202) and Genever Holdings Corporation. The mailing address for the Trustee, Genever Holdings LLC, and Genever Holdings Corporation is Paul Hastings LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166 c/o Luc A. Despins, as Trustee for the Estate of Ho Wan Kwok (solely for purposes of notices and communications).

2 Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Initial Declaration.

2022 [Docket No. 802] (the "Third Supplemental Declaration"); (e) the declaration submitted to the Court on February 2, 2023 [Docket No. 1435] (the "Fourth Supplemental Declaration"); (f) the declaration to the Court on March 22, 2023 [Docket No. 1581] (the "Fifth Supplemental Declaration"); (g) the declaration submitted to the Court on April 26, 2023 [Docket No. 1710] ("Sixth Supplemental Declaration"); (h) the declaration submitted to the Court on September 15, 2023 [Docket No. 2204] ("Seventh Supplemental Declaration"), and (i) the declaration submitted to the Court on March 25, 2024 [Docket No. 2204] ("Eighth Supplemental Declaration" and, together with the Initial Declaration, the First Supplemental Declaration, the Second Supplemental Declaration, the Third Supplemental Declaration, the Fourth Supplemental Declaration, the Fifth Supplemental Declaration, the Sixth Supplemental Declaration, and the Seventh Supplemental Declaration, the "Prior Declarations"), and in further support of my application to approve the employment of Paul Hastings as counsel to the Trustee (the "Application"). I hereby supplement the Prior Declarations with respect to both my appointment as chapter 11 trustee and the retention of Paul Hastings, as follows:

2. I attached to the Initial Declaration a schedule of parties in interest (the "Initial Parties in Interest List") that was used by Paul Hastings as part of its review procedures to enable it to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and any local rules of the Court regarding the service of a trustee and the employment of professionals under the Bankruptcy Code (the "Review Procedures").

3. Subsequent to my appointment as Trustee, and as part of my investigation into the assets and financial affairs of the Individual Debtor, I have become aware of a number of additional parties that I believe may be considered parties in interest, or parties otherwise connected, to the Chapter 11 Cases. I attach hereto, as **Schedule 1**, an updated list of such

parties that is supplemented to include these additional parties. I have also attached, as **Schedule 2** hereto, a redline comparison document showing the newly added parties (the "Recently Added Parties") as compared to the parties listed on Schedule 1 to the Eighth Supplemental Declaration. I have asked Paul Hastings Personnel to apply the Review Procedures, as applicable, to the Recently Added Parties.

4. Based on the results of the Review Procedures, I believe neither Paul Hastings nor any of its attorneys, including me, has any connections (as that term is used in Bankruptcy Rule 2014), with any of the Recently Added Parties, except:

> a. I have received reports that, in addition to the banks and financial institutions identified in the Prior Declarations, the Individual Debtor (or entities affiliated with the Individual Debtor and/or his family members) may have done business with certain additional banks and financial institutions, namely China CITIC Bank International, Intesa Sanpaolo Provis SpA, and Lloyds Bank PLC (collectively, the "Additional Banks and Financial Institutions"). The Additional Banks and Financial Institutions therefore have become discovery targets in the Trustee's investigation of the Individual Debtor's assets and financial affairs, but at this stage solely because they may be in possession of documents relevant to such investigation. Paul Hastings currently represents or in the past represented the Additional Banks and Financial Institutions (or entities affiliated with the Additional Banks and Financial Institutions) in various Unrelated Matters.[3](#page-2-0) I, in my capacity as Trustee, am able to be adverse to

3 Paul Hastings, like other large law firms, represents numerous large financial institutions such as the Additional

the Additional Banks and Financial Institutions and to be the named plaintiff, as chapter 11 Trustee, in any lawsuit against the Additional Banks and Financial Institutions. All matters related to the Additional Banks and Financial Institutions will be handled by NPM.

b. I commenced a significant number of adversary proceedings on or after February 1, 2024, in which claims are asserted solely under sections 544, 547, 548, 549, and 550 of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Avoidance Actions"). Defendants to the Avoidance Actions include, among others, Agora Lab, G4S Security Systems (Hong Kong) Ltd., GCP Investment Advisors SL, Hogan Lovells International LLP, Loro Piana S.P.A., Mishcon de Reya LLP, and Reverence Capital Partners Opportunities Fund I (Cayman) LP (collectively, the "Additional Avoidance Actions Defendants"). The Additional Avoidance Actions Defendants (or entities affiliated with the Additional Avoidance Actions Defendants) are parties which Paul Hastings currently represents or in the past represented in various Unrelated Matters.[4](#page-3-0) I, in my capacity as Trustee, am able to be adverse to the Additional Avoidance Actions Defendants and to be the named plaintiff, as chapter 11 Trustee, in any lawsuit against the Additional Avoidance Actions Defendants, including the Avoidance Actions. All matters related to the Additional Avoidance Actions Defendants will be handled by NPM.

Banks and Financial Institutions as a matter of course.

4 Paul Hastings, like other large law firms, represents numerous large entities such as the Additional Avoidance Actions Defendants as a matter of course.

- c. RM Sotheby's is a luxury car auction house that is a discovery target in the Trustee's investigation of the Individual Debtor's assets and financial affairs. Paul Hastings represents entities related to RM Sotheby's in various Unrelated Matters. - d. Crowell & Moring, LLP ("C&M") serves as counsel to Mercantile Bank International, a discovery target in the Trustee's investigation of the Individual Debtor's assets and financial affairs, and a defendant to an Avoidance Action. Paul Hastings currently represents C&M in various Unrelated Matters; - e. DLA Piper LLP (US) ("DLA Piper") serves as counsel to Zeta Global Corp, a defendant to an Avoidance Action. Paul Hastings currently represents DLA Piper in various Unrelated Matters; - f. Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP ("Faegre Drinker") serves as counsel to Cirrus Design Corporation, a defendant to an Avoidance Action. Paul Hastings currently represents Faegre Drinker in various Unrelated Matters; and - g. Kirkland & Ellis LLP ("Kirkland") serves as counsel to Reverence Capital Partners Opportunities Fund, a defendant to an Avoidance Action. Paul Hastings currently represents Kirkland in various Unrelated Matters.

5. In May 2024, Mariana Espinoza joined Paul Hastings as a summer associate in its Chicago office. Ms. Espinoza will also be employed as a summer associate at Greenberg Traurig, LLP, who serve as counsel to various "G Entities" affiliated with the Individual Debtor in connection with the Trustee's investigation of the Individual Debtor's assets and financial

affairs. For the avoidance of doubt, Paul Hastings has imposed (and will continue to impose) an ethical wall between Ms. Espinoza and the firm's representation of the Trustee in these chapter 11 cases.

6. I declare under penalty of perjury under 28 U.S.C. § 1746 that the foregoing is true and correct.

Executed May 22, 2024, at New York, New York.
