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 This Application does not include any fees and expenses related to the month of August 2024. Paul Hastings will include such fees and expenses in its next interim fee application. 3 In accordance with the Interim Compensation Procedures Order (as defined below), Paul Hastings received payments in the amount of \$937,263.85 in fees and \$1,089,390.98 in expenses with respect to its monthly fee statements for April and May 2024, respectively. Paul Hastings has not yet received payment of its fees and expenses with respect to its monthly fee statements for June and July 2024 (but 80% of such fees and all such expenses may be paid, at a future date, in accordance with the Interim Compensation Procedures Order). In addition, while this Application seeks allowance of all fees incurred during the Fee Period (other than with respect to the civil RICO action), Paul Hastings is not seeking, at this time, payment of the 20% holdback with respect to the April through July 2024 fee statements. | Expenses Previously Requested: | | Expense Detail: | | |--------------------------------|----------------|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| | Requested Expenses: | \$1,753,367.83 | Retainer Received: | N/A | | Awarded Expenses: | \$1,746,426.61 | Copies per page cost and total: | \$0.08 b/w | | Paid Expenses: | \$1,746,426.61 | | (per page)

Docket No. 2408, entered
on 11/30/23 | \$705,196.85 | 4 The First Interim Fee Application excluded the expense reimbursements requested in the Expense Reimbursement Application. - 5 The First Interim Fee Application and the Second Interim Fee Application included the amounts sought in the Special Fee Application (for the period through February 28, 2023 and the period from March 1 - 10, 2023, respectively). Paul Hastings included these amounts not to recover twice but to ensure payment in the event the HK Parties (defined below) do not comply with the Sanctions Order (defined below). In July 2024, the Trustee received payment in the amount of \$83,370.26 from one of the HK Parties. Given that the Trustee was able to recover these fees from one of the HK Parties, Paul Hastings is not seeking further payment of such fees from the estates. - 6 Due to an inadvertent oversight, the monthly fee statements for January and February 2023 (which were covered in the First Interim Fee Application) did not reflect the voluntary reduction in the hourly rate of the Trustee (from \$1,975 to \$1,860 per hour), resulting in an overstatement of Paul Hastings' fees by \$20,096.25 with respect to these two months. This amount was credited in the Second Interim Fee Application against fees requested therein. - 7 Pursuant to the order granting the Third Interim Fee Application, the Debtors' estates were authorized to pay Paul Hastings \$2,820,787.40. The amount previously paid to Paul Hastings pursuant the Interim Compensation Procedures Order for services rendered during the months of July and August 2023 was \$2,980,787.40. The overpayment of \$160,000.00 (*i.e.*, 80% of \$200,000.00) was credited on Paul Hastings' September fee statement. | Date | Period | Requested Fees | Requested | Fees Awarded and Paid; | Expenses Awarded and | Amount | |-------------|----------|----------------|-----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------|----------------| | Submitted / | Covered | | Expenses | Court Order | Paid; Court Order | Owing | | Docket No. | | | | | | | | | | | | Fourth Interim Fee Application for the Period from September 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 | | | | 2/19/24 | 9/1/23 - | \$6,911,034.50 | | \$718,236.31 Awarded: \$6,718,104.50 | Awarded: \$714,717.61 | \$1,343,620.90 | | Docket No. | 12/31/23 | | | \$5,374,483.608

1 | #### **MONTHLY FEE REQUESTS FOR FEE PERIOD11** 11 On August 18, 2023, the Court entered the *Order Establishing Procedures for Interim Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for Retained Professionals* [Docket No. 2094] (the "Interim Compensation Procedures Order"), pursuant to which estate professionals (including Paul Hastings) commenced filing monthly fee statements. 12 Reflects \$103,706.85 credit pursuant to the order granting the Fifth Interim Fee Application. 13 Reflects \$3,422.52 credit pursuant to the order granting the Fifth Interim Fee Application. 14 As detailed below, as a further accommodation to these estates and to minimize the review process by the Court and parties in interest, Paul Hastings is not seeking allowance or payment at this time for the fees of six (6) timekeepers who billed less than five (5) hours during the Fee Period in the aggregate amount of \$14,116.00; however, such fees were included in the fee statements for the Fee Period. If this Application is granted, Paul Hastings will credit such amount on its subsequent monthly fee statement. ## **HOURS AND RATES PER PROFESSIONAL AND PARAPROFESSIONAL DURING FEE PERIOD15** | Name | Department; Date of

Despins, in his capacity as the chapter 11 trustee (the "Trustee") appointed in the chapter 11 case of Ho Wan Kwok (the "Individual Debtor"), (b) Genever Holdings Corporation ("Genever (BVI)"), and (c) Genever Holdings LLC ("Genever (US)" and, together with Genever (BVI), the "Genever Debtors"), hereby files this 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). *Sixth Interim Fee Application of Paul Hastings LLP for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for the Period from April 1, 2024 through July 31, 2024* (the "Application"). By this Application, Paul Hastings requests allowance and payment2 of the compensation for professional services performed by Paul Hastings attorneys (including the Trustee3 ) and reimbursement of its actual and necessary expenses incurred during the period from April 1, 2024 through and including July 31, 2024 (the "Fee Period"). In support of this Application, Paul Hastings respectfully states as follows: #### **PRELIMINARY STATEMENT** 1. During the Fee Period, the Trustee and Paul Hastings continued the investigation into the financial affairs of the Individual Debtor and his corporate "shell game" to shield companies and assets under his ownership and/or control from his creditors. Given the vast network of companies affiliated with the Individual Debtor, and the fact that these companies or their assets are located around the world, the Trustee's investigation was, and continues to be, extensive. As the Court is also aware, during the Fee Period, the Trustee also continued to prosecute, with the assistance of Paul Hastings and the Trustee's other advisors, numerous adversary proceedings asserting alter ego and equitable ownership claims (or similar claims 2 In accordance with the Interim Compensation Procedures Order (as defined below), Paul Hastings received payments in the amount of \$937,263.85 in fees and \$1,089,390.98 in expenses with respect to its monthly fee statements for April and May 2024, respectively. Paul Hastings has not yet received payment of its fees and expenses with respect to its monthly fee statements for June and July 2024 (but 80% of such fees and all such expenses may be paid, at a future date, in accordance with the Interim Compensation Procedures Order). In addition, while this Application seeks allowance of all fees incurred during the Fee Period (other than with respect to the civil RICO action), Paul Hastings is not seeking, at this time, payment of the 20% holdback with respect to the April through July 2024 fee statements. 3 In accordance with the Retention Order (as defined below), the Trustee is authorized to act as one of the attorneys for the Individual Debtor's estate, and, accordingly, this Application also seeks allowance of the Trustee's fees in such capacity. For the avoidance of doubt, in this Application, references to services provided by Paul Hastings attorneys shall include the Trustee. To be clear, time spent by the Trustee in his capacity as chapter 11 trustee, is not part of this Application, and compensation therefor will be sought by separate application. ## Case 22-50073 Doc 3700 Filed 10/15/24 Entered 10/15/24 19:17:45 Page 10 of 700 under applicable law) as well as approximately 300 adversary proceedings seeking to avoid fraudulent transfers and postpetition transfers (the "Avoidance Actions"). 2. As part of the Trustee's efforts to recover assets for the benefit of the estates, the Trustee continued to make substantial progress, including in several pending adversary proceedings and appeals. For example: - HCHK Adversary Proceeding: During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys continued to prosecute the Trustee's adversary proceeding against HCHK Technologies, Inc. ("HCHK Technologies"), HCHK Property Management, Inc. ("HCHK Property"), Lexington Property and Staffing, Inc. ("Lexington Property," and, together with HCHK Technologies and HCHK Property, the "HCHK Entities"), Brian Hofmeister, in his capacity as assignee of the HCHK Entities (the "Assignee"), and certain other parties, seeking determinations that, among other things, (a) the HCHK Entities are *alter egos* of the Individual Debtor and (b) the Individual Debtor is the equitable owner of the HCHK Entities and/or their assets. - o Following this Court's denial of certain defendants' motion to set aside the entry of default as against them, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared the Trustee's motion for default judgment against the HCHK Entities and the other defendants. - o On June 14, 2024, the Court granted the Trustee's motion for default judgment, holding, among other things, that **the HCHK Entities are the** *alter egos* **of the Individual Debtor and directing that the property of the HCHK Entities be turned over to the estate**.As a result of this ruling, among other things, over **more than \$38 million** of the HCHK Entities' funds (previously transferred into accounts controlled by the Trustee pursuant to the settlement with the Assignee) are now property of the estate. - o Omnibus Alter Ego Adversary Proceeding: During the Fee Period, Paul attorneys continued to pursue the Trustee's adversary proceeding against various entities, including K Legacy Ltd. ("K Legacy"), seeking declarations that such entities are *alter egos* of the Individual Debtor and/or their assets are beneficially owned by the Individual Debtor, such that their assets are property of the estate. - o While this adversary proceeding was temporarily stayed (other than with respect to K Legacy) pending the conclusion of the Individual Debtor's Criminal Trial (as defined below), following the guilty verdict and conclusion of the Individual Debtor's Criminal Trial on July 16, 2024, this adversary proceeding resumed. Case 22-50073 Doc 3700 Filed 10/15/24 Entered 10/15/24 19:17:45 Page 11 of 700 - o On September 12, 2024, the Trustee obtained entries of default as against K Legacy and the Debtor's son, i.e., Qiang Guo, pursuant to which the Court held, among other things, that the **ownership interests in K Legacy and the assets of K Legacy, including a luxury apartment in London, are property of the estate**. - o In addition to the default judgment against K Legacy and the Debtor's son, the Trustee has also recently commenced proceedings in the British Virgin Islands ("BVI"), i.e., the jurisdiction where K Legacy is incorporated, to, among other things, rectify K Legacy's membership list and establish the estate's ownership of K Legacy and the London apartment. - Mei Guo Adversary Proceeding: During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings continued, in conjunction with the Trustee's local Connecticut counsel, Neubert Pepe & Monteith, P.C. ("NPM"), to prosecute the Trustee's adversary proceeding against Mei Guo. In this adversary proceeding, the Trustee seeks determinations that, among other things, (a) more than \$10 million in proceeds from the sale of the Individual Debtor's private Bombardier jet are property of the estate and (b) a series of BVI registered shell companies purportedly held by Mei Guo are property of the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 estate. - o On April 3, 2024, the Court granted, in part, the Trustee's motion for summary judgment, holding, among other things, that **the Individual Debtor beneficially owned the Bombardier jet and, hence, beneficially owns the Bombardier proceeds, and directing Mei Guo to turn over to the estate the Bombardier proceeds**. Following the Court's decision, **more than \$10 million** in Bombardier proceeds were turned over to the estate. - Greenwich Land Adversary Proceeding: During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings continued to prosecute the Trustee's adversary proceeding against Greenwich Land LLC ("Greenwich Land") and the Individual Debtor's alleged wife (*i.e.*, Hing Chi Ngok), seeking determinations that, among other things, (a) Greenwich Land (which holds legal title to the Individual Debtor's residence in Greenwich, Connecticut) is an *alter ego* of the Debtor and (b) the Debtor is the equitable owner of Greenwich Land. - o On July 3, 2024, the Court granted the Trustee's motion for summary judgment, holding, among other things, that **Greenwich Land is an alter ego of the Individual Debtor and directing that the property of Greenwich Land be turned over to the estate**. As a result of this ruling, among other things, the multi-million-dollar mansion located at 373 Taconic Road, Greenwich, Connecticut (the "Taconic Property") is now property of the estate. - o On September 30, 2024, the Trustee filed a motion to sell the Taconic Property for a purchase price of \$6.9 million. The Trustee subsequently filed a notice to the Court on October 14, 2024 regarding a higher and better offer to purchase the Taconic Property for **\$7.25 million**. The hearing on the sale motion is scheduled for October 15, 2024. - VCTR Shares: Through his investigation of the Individual Debtor's financial affairs, the Trustee learned that Lamp Capital—which the Court found to be an alter ego of the Individual Debtor—owns a limited partnership interest in the Reverence Capital Partners Opportunities Fund I (Cayman) L.P. (the "Reverence Fund"). The interest—which is property of the estate—includes rights to receive distributions from the publicly traded VCTR Shares and unpaid cash distributions. - o On June 12, 2024, the Court granted the Trustee's motion, holding, among other things, that the **limited partnership interest is property of the estate, and approving the liquidation of the VCTR Shares and distribution of net proceeds to the Trustee for the benefit of the estate**. - o On August 6, 2024, the Trustee filed a report noting that on July 31, 2024, he received for the benefit of the estate a distribution from Reverence Fund in the amount of **more than \$2.7 million.** - Ducati Motorcycle: Through his investigation of the Individual Debtor's financial affairs, the Trustee identified a Ducati Diavel motorcycle which was parked in the Mahwah Mansion and whose registered owner is Mr. Scott Barnett. - o On May 28, 2024, the Court granted the Trustee's motion, holding, among other things, that the **Ducati motorcycle is property of the estate**. - Defeng Cao Adversary Proceeding: During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys continued to prosecute the Trustee's complaint seeking determinations that six separate vehicles—three Harley Davidsons and one BMW motorcycle, as well as one Land Rover Defender and one Dodge Ram Pickup Truck—which, while nominally held by the defendant, were fraudulently transferred to Defeng Cao (Mei Guo's long-term boyfriend), or alternatively, are equitably owned by the Individual Debtor. - o During the Fee Period, the Trustee filed his motion for judgment on the pleadings with respect to the four luxury motorcycles and reply in support of this motion. - o On September 9, 2024, the Court granted the Trustee's motion for judgment on the pleadings, holding that the **motorcycles are property of the estate and requiring Mr. Cao to turn them over to the estate**. - Ace Decade Adversary Proceeding: During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings continued to handle the Trustee's adversary proceeding against Ace Decade Holdings Limited ("Ace Decade"), Yvette Wang, and Rui Hao seeking a declaration that the transfer of the Ace Decade share by Yvette Wang to Rui Hao is void, in light of this Court's prior ruling that the Trustee beneficially owns the Ace Decade shares. - o During the Fee Period, the Court granted the Trustee's motion for entry of **default judgment as against Yvette Wang and Ace Decade**. On September 12, 2024, the Court also entered a **default judgment against Rui Hao**. - o In addition, the Trustee must also seek relief in the BVI to rectify the membership list for Ace Decade to reflect the estate's ownership of Ace Decade. These matters are further complicated by the commencement of liquidation proceedings with respect to Ace Decade (and the appointment of joint liquidators) in the BVI. Paul Hastings is working with the Trustee's BVI counsel to evaluate next steps in this regard. - Mahwah Adversary Proceeding: During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys continued to prosecute the Trustee's adversary proceeding against Scott Barnett (the Individual Debtor's driver and/or bodyguard), Taurus Fund, LLC ("Taurus Fund"), and Taurus Management LLC—until such action was stayed at the request of the Trustee. In this adversary proceeding, the Trustee seeks determinations that, among other things, (a) the Individual Debtor is the equitable owner of a 50,000 square foot, castle-styled private residence with 12.5-acre grounds located at 675 Ramapo Valley Road, Mahwah, New Jersey 07430 (the "Mahwah Mansion"), (b) the Debtor is the equitable owner of Taurus Fund (the entity holding title to the Mahwah Mansion), and (c) that Taurus Fund is an *alter ego* of the Individual Debtor. - o During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys coordinated with NPM to address the fact that Taurus Fund ceased to pay security and other maintenance expenses for the Mahwah Mansion following the guilty verdict and conclusion of the Individual Debtor's Criminal Trial. Among other things, the Trustee obtained Court authorization to fund these security and maintenance costs. - Appeals: The Trustee also made significant progress in the various appeals of order of this Court. For example: - o On August 23, 2024 (i.e., after the conclusion of the Fee Period), the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut (the "District Court") affirmed this Court's orders granting the Trustee's motion for summary judgment in which this Court determined that the Individual Debtor was the beneficial owner of the Lady May yacht and that HK International Funds Investment (USA) Limited, LLC ("HK USA") was the Individual Debtor's alter ego. Clerk of the District Court entered judgment in favor of the Trustee on September 5, 2024. - o Paul Hastings attorneys spent significant time briefing the proposed intervenors' appeal of this Court's order denying their motion to intervene in the HCHK Adversary Proceeding. On August 29, 2024, after briefing concluded, the proposed intervenors filed a stipulation dismissing the appeal with prejudice. - o Paul Hastings attorneys also spent significant time briefing the HCHK entities' related appeal of this Court's order granting default judgment against such entities. After briefing concluded, the HCHK entities' counsel withdrew its appearance in the appeal. - o On September 30, 2024, the District Court affirmed this Court's preliminary injunction order against the Individual Debtor and those within his control prohibiting the intimidation and harassment of the Trustee and PAX during the protest activities. - Motions to Withdraw References: Paul Hastings attorneys also continued to work on responses to several defendants' motions to withdraw the reference. For example: - o On August 30, 2024, the Trustee filed his objection to the motion to withdraw the reference of the Mahwah Adversary Proceeding filed by Taurus Fund, Taurus Management LLC, and Scott Barnett. 3. Moreover, during the Fee Period, the Trustee and his professionals continued to prosecute approximately 300 Avoidance Actions and handled issues including (a) analyzing potential avoidance claims, (b) preparing and filing additional Avoidance Action complaints and the Trustee's responses to Avoidance Action defendants' motions to dismiss, (c) preparing the Trustee's motion for judgment on the pleadings, (d) meeting and conferring with counsel for Avoidance Action defendants, (e) developing strategies for potential settlements, and (f) handling hearings and status conferences in such Avoidance Actions. In addition, the Trustee and his professionals also prepared for and conducted mediation presentations in June and July, 2024, including an introductory presentation addressing various groups of mediation parties, and #### Case 22-50073 Doc 3700 Filed 10/15/24 Entered 10/15/24 19:17:45 Page 15 of 700 conferred with the mediator, i.e., U.S. Bankruptcy Judge James J. Tancredi, the mediator, about the mediation processes. 4. Given the enormity of the Trustee's task and the continued obstruction by the Debtors' associates and alter ego companies, coupled with the delay in Trustee's investigation caused by the Individual Debtor's Criminal Trial, it was impossible for the Trustee to complete his investigation and assert all available causes of action prior to August 15, 2024 (*i.e.*, the extended deadline granted by the Court on February 15, 2024). For that reason, Paul Hastings, in conjunction with NPM, prepared the Trustee's motion to extend the August 15, 2024 deadline for the Trustee to commence actions to avoid and recover fraudulent transfers and/or assert other estate causes of action (which motion was filed on July 19, 2024). The Court granted this motion by order dated August 14, 2024. 5. In addition, as part of the Trustee's investigation, the Trustee continued to monitor the criminal case (the "Criminal Case") pending against the Individual Debtor in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York [Case No. 1:23-cr-00118-AT] (the "SDNY Court"). In particular: - On May 3, 2024, the Individual Debtor's co-defendant and chief of staff Yvette Wang pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. The statutory maximum term of imprisonment on the two counts is ten years. Yvette Wang's sentencing hearing is currently scheduled for October 21, 2024. - The trial in the Individual Debtor's Criminal Case (the "Criminal Trial") commenced on May 22, 2024. During the eight-week trial, the jury heard testimony from 34 government witnesses and nine defense witnesses. On July 16, 2024, a unanimous jury found the Debtor guilty on nine of the 12 charges, including racketeering conspiracy, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bank fraud, money laundering conspiracy, conspiracy to commit securities fraud, and multiple wire fraud and securities fraud charges. The Individual Debtor's sentencing hearing is currently scheduled for December 2024. Case 22-50073 Doc 3700 Filed 10/15/24 Entered 10/15/24 19:17:45 Page 16 of 700 - The Criminal Trial also made public thousands of government exhibits, which contain important information that the Trustee had not learned in discovery and supplemented the Trustee's ongoing investigation efforts. - During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys continued to analyze various legal issues related to the criminal forfeiture allegations of over \$630 million in assets seized by the U.S. government in the Individual Debtor's Criminal Case. 6. Furthermore, during the Fee Period, the damage caused by the fire on March 15, 2023 at the 18th floor apartment at the Sherry Netherland (the "Sherry Netherland Apartment") continued to require the Trustee's and Paul Hastings' attention. Among other things, Paul Hastings attorneys worked with Genever (US)'s architect (Acheson Doyle) and other service providers to conduct the remediation and cleaning of the Sherry Netherland Apartment, including remediation of soot and other combustion by-products and ancillary services such as abating asbestos in the affected area, moving furniture into storage, and disposing certain items of inconsequential value. The remediation and cleaning projects are substantially completed, such that, beginning in September 2024, the Trustee began marketing the Sherry Netherland Apartment. 7. All the while, during the Fee Period, the Trustee and Paul Hastings provided a wide range of other chapter 11 related services, including, for example, handling ten hearings and status conferences, preparing and prosecuting numerous substantive motions, and preparing monthly operating reports. 8. As detailed in this Application, Paul Hastings has performed all of its services in an economic, effective, and efficient manner commensurate with the complexity and importance of the issues involved. The work performed by Paul Hastings was carefully assigned to appropriate professionals or paraprofessionals according to the experience and level of expertise required for each particular task. Whenever possible, Paul Hastings sought to minimize the costs #### Case 22-50073 Doc 3700 Filed 10/15/24 Entered 10/15/24 19:17:45 Page 17 of 700 of Paul Hastings' services by utilizing talented junior attorneys and paraprofessionals to handle the more routine aspects of the assignments. Moreover, as detailed below, Paul Hastings has delegated numerous work streams (including the recent avoidance actions process) to local Connecticut counsel (which has a lower rate structure than Paul Hastings). 9. To further minimize the costs of intra-Paul Hastings communications and education about these chapter 11 cases, the Trustee utilized a small group of Paul Hastings attorneys for the majority of the work in these chapter 11 cases. Also, as a general matter, in addition to the Trustee, no more than two Paul Hastings attorneys attended the various hearings held during the Fee Period (and in some instances, the Trustee handled hearings without attendance of any Paul Hastings attorneys), thereby minimizing not only the time billed on these hearings/sessions but also the cost of travel. Furthermore, to the extent appropriate, the Trustee and Paul Hastings sought to work closely with counsel to Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund L.P. ("PAX"), including to take advantage of the knowledge of the Individual Debtor's assets and financial affairs that PAX acquired during the prepetition litigation against the Individual Debtor in New York state court. Moreover, as noted on the record at the August 2, 2022 hearing on Paul Hastings' retention application, the Trustee has agreed *not* to seek a percentage recovery under section 326 of the Bankruptcy Code, and, instead, agreed that he would only be compensated (at his standard hourly rate) for his time. 10. In addition, Paul Hastings has also voluntarily waived a total of \$166,488.72 in fees incurred during the Fee Period related to the review of documents. 11. Finally, as an accommodation to these estates and to minimize the review process by the Court and parties in interest, Paul Hastings is not seeking allowance or payment at this time for the fees of six (6) timekeepers who billed less than five (5) hours during the Fee Period #### Case 22-50073 Doc 3700 Filed 10/15/24 Entered 10/15/24 19:17:45 Page 18 of 700 in the aggregate amount of \$14,116.00. The time billed by these timekeepers was reasonable, and Paul Hastings reserves the right to seek allowance of these fees based on the facts and circumstances of these cases, including, without limitation, if objections are interposed to the allowance of Paul Hastings' fees and expenses. 12. In sum, Paul Hastings respectfully submits that the services for which it seeks compensation in this Application were necessary for and beneficial to these chapter 11 estates and their stakeholders. Accordingly, in light of the nature and complexity of these chapter 11 cases, Paul Hastings' charges for professional services performed and expenses incurred are reasonable under applicable standards. For all these reasons, Paul Hastings respectfully requests that the Court grant the Application and allow interim compensation for professional services performed and reimbursement for expenses as requested. #### **JURISDICTION, VENUE, BASES FOR RELIEF, AND COMPLIANCE** 13. The Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334 and the *Standing Order of Reference* from the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut. This matter is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2). Venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409. 14. The legal predicates for the relief requested herein are sections 328, 330, and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rule 2016, and Local Bankruptcy Rule 2016-1. 15. Paul Hastings believes that this Application, together with the attachments hereto, substantially complies with the Bankruptcy Rules, Local Rule 2016-1, the Interim Compensation Procedures Order, and the *United States Trustee's Guidelines for Reviewing Applications for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses Filed Under 11 U.S.C. § 330 by Attorneys in* ## Case 22-50073 Doc 3700 Filed 10/15/24 Entered 10/15/24 19:17:45 Page 19 of 700 *Larger Chapter 11 Cases* (the "U.S. Trustee Guidelines").4 Paul Hastings respectfully requests a waiver of any of the foregoing requirements not met by this Application. - 16. Attached and incorporated herein by reference are the following Exhibits: - Exhibit A contains disclosures regarding "customary and comparable compensation." - Exhibit B1 contains a summary of Paul Hastings' timekeepers included in this Application. - Exhibit B2 contains a summary of Paul Hastings' timekeepers who billed less than five (5) hours during the Fee Period and for whom Paul Hastings is not seeking allowance or payment at this time. - Exhibit C contains a summary of the compensation requested by project category. - Exhibit D contains a summary of the compensation requested by Matter ID. - Exhibit E contains the expense reimbursements requested by category. - Exhibit F contains the monthly statements of Paul Hastings detailing the services performed and itemizing the expenses incurred during the Fee Period. - Exhibit G contains the Proposed Order. ## **BACKGROUND** ## **I. Individual Debtor's Chapter 11 Case** 17. On February 15, 2022 (the "Petition Date"), the Individual Debtor filed with the Court a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. 18. On March 21, 2022, the United States Trustee appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors ("Committee") in the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case. No examiner has been appointed in the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case. 4 Paul Hastings reserves all rights as to the relevance and substantive legal effect of the U.S. Trustee Guidelines with respect to any application for compensation in these chapter 11 cases. #### Case 22-50073 Doc 3700 Filed 10/15/24 Entered 10/15/24 19:17:45 Page 20 of 700 19. On June 15, 2022, the Court entered a memorandum of decision and order [Docket No. 465] (the "Trustee Order") directing the United States Trustee to appoint a chapter 11 trustee in the chapter 11 case of Ho Wan Kwok. Pursuant to the Trustee Order, the United States Trustee selected Luc A. Despins as the Trustee. On July 8, 2022, the Court entered an order granting the appointment of Luc A. Despins as the Trustee in the chapter 11 case of Ho Wan Kwok. 20. The Court authorized Paul Hastings' retention as attorneys for the Trustee pursuant to the *Order Authorizing and Approving the Retention and Employment of Paul Hastings LLP as Counsel to Chapter 11 Trustee, effective as of July 8, 2022* [Docket No. 668] (together with the retention order with respect to the Genever Debtors [Docket No. 1376], the "Retention Order"), entered on August 2, 2022. The Retention Order authorizes Paul Hastings to be compensated on an hourly basis and reimbursed for actual and necessary out-of-pocket expenses pursuant to sections 328 and 330 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Bankruptcy Rules, and such orders as the Court may direct. Moreover, at the August 1, 2022 hearing on the Paul Hastings' retention application, the Court made clear that it approved Paul Hastings' New York rate structure.5 In addition, as noted on the record at that hearing, the Trustee has agreed *not* to seek a percentage recovery under section 326 of the Bankruptcy Code, and, instead, agreed that he would only be compensated (at his standard hourly rate) for his time. 21. In light of the Trustee's ongoing investigation into the Individual Debtor's assets and his financial affairs, the Trustee is unable at this time to predict when he will be in a position to file a plan and disclosure statement. All quarterly fees have been paid to the United States 5 *See* Aug. 1, 2022 H'rg Tr. at 113:15-19 ("MR. DESPINS: But I want to be clear is that that's not going to be a back door way to bring local rates, or anything like that -- THE COURT: No, I'm not doing that. I agree with that."). #### Case 22-50073 Doc 3700 Filed 10/15/24 Entered 10/15/24 19:17:45 Page 21 of 700 Trustee, and all monthly operating reports have been filed through August 2024 (for each of the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case, Genever (BVI)'s chapter 11 case, and Genever (US)'s chapter 11 case). 22. At this time, the amount of cash in the Trustee's account is approximately \$72.6 million. The Trustee is not aware of any material administrative expense claims other than claims for professional fees and expenses. #### **II. Genever (BVI)'s Chapter 11 Case** 23. On October 11, 2022, Genever (BVI)—an entity wholly owned by the Individual Debtor—filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with this Court. 24. No trustee or official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in Genever (BVI)'s chapter 11 case. 25. October 14, 2022, the Court entered an order granting joint administration of the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case and Genever (BVI)'s chapter 11 case [Docket No. 970]. 26. On January 24, 2023, the Court granted Genever (BVI)'s application to retain Paul Hastings as counsel to Genever (BVI) in its chapter 11 case, effective as of its petition date, *i.e.*, October 11, 2022 [Docket No. 1376]. #### **III. Genever (US)'s Chapter 11 Case** 27. On October 12, 2020, Genever Holdings LLC -- an entity wholly owned by Genever (BVI) -- filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "SDNY Bankruptcy Court"), thereby commencing case number 20-12411 (JLG) (the "SDNY Bankruptcy Case"). #### Case 22-50073 Doc 3700 Filed 10/15/24 Entered 10/15/24 19:17:45 Page 22 of 700 28.

As part of this investigation, Paul Hastings attorneys (a) analyzed documents produced in response to Rule 2004 subpoenas,21 (b) engaged in meet and confer sessions with the targets of the Rule 2004 discovery, (c) identified additional entities for further investigation, (d) conducted numerous calls and meetings with the Trustee's forensic accountant (Kroll) to advance the Trustee's investigation concerning potential estate claims, (e) analyzed potential claims against the Individual Debtor and his affiliated entities, (f) assisted the Trustee's Swiss counsel (i.e., Prager) in preparing an application to have the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case recognized in Switzerland (in order to further advance the Trustee's investigation as to estate property located in Switzerland), and (g) analyzed exhibits and testimony from the Criminal Trial. 62. Paul Hastings attorneys also continued to assist NPM in preparing supplemental motions under Bankruptcy Rule 2004 seeking discovery from various individuals and entities associated with the Individual Debtor, including fifteenth supplemental motions filed on May 16, 2024 [Docket No. 3193].22 The Court granted this Rule 2004 motion [Docket No. 3223]. Furthermore, during the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys continued to communicate with confidential informants, who provided valuable insight into the Individual Debtor's business operations.23 21 As further detailed below, in the interest of minimizing costs, Paul Hastings utilized UnitedLex Corporation ("UnitedLex") to conduct, among other things, first-round review of documents produced in the Trustee's investigation. UnitedLex specializes in discovery services, including document processing, storage, review services, and distribution. 22 The supplemental Rule 2004 motions were filed by NPM because Paul Hastings was conflicted as to some of the discovery targets. To the extent Paul Hastings did not have a conflict, it assisted NPM in preparing the supplemental motion. 23 In light of the Individual Debtor's well-documented social media campaign against the Trustee, Paul Hastings attorneys, and creditors in these chapter 11 cases, the time entries attached to this Application have been redacted to remove the names of these informants. #### Case 22-50073 Doc 3700 Filed 10/15/24 Entered 10/15/24 19:17:45 Page 36 of 700 63. As noted in Paul Hastings' prior fee applications, much of the Trustee's investigation also required the expertise of Paul Hastings' Mandarin-speaking attorneys in order to analyze thousands Mandarin-language documents (including WhatsApp, text messages, and videos). This work required not only Mandarin language skills but an understanding of the legal significance of these documents, which an outside translation service would not be able to provide. Paul Hastings' Mandarin-speaking attorneys were also critical for the Trustee to communicate with the numerous Mandarin-speaking informants that have reached out to the Trustee during the course of these chapter 11 cases. 64. To date, the Trustee's investigation (including as a result of discovery under Rule 2004, information provided by confidential informants, and corporate documents received from BVI registered agents) uncovered numerous assets that the Trustee believes are property of the Individual Debtor's estate, which the Trustee is seeking to recover for the benefit of the estate. In fact, as detailed further below, during the Fee Period, the Trustee continued to prosecute several adversary proceedings to recover such assets. 65. Unfortunately, as the Court is well aware, the Trustee's investigation continued to face vigorous opposition, at every turn, not only from the Individual Debtor, but also many of the targets of the Trustee's investigation (*i.e.*, the Individual Debtor's close family members, business associates, and employees), necessitating further motion practice. #### **III.

No. 23-05249]. #### Case 22-50073 Doc 3700 Filed 10/15/24 Entered 10/15/24 19:17:45 Page 50 of 700 104. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys, in conjunction with NPM, prepared the Trustee's request for entry of default and subsequently the Trustee's motion for entry of default judgment against the Individual Debtor's son, i.e., Qiang Guo, and K Legacy. On May 17, 2024, the Clerk of the Court entered a default against K Legacy [Docket No. 26 in Adv. Proc. No. 24-5249]. Furthermore, on September 12, 2024, the Trustee obtained entries of default as against K Legacy and Qiang Guo, pursuant to which the Court held, among other things, that the ownership interests in K Legacy and the assets of K Legacy, including a luxury apartment in London, are property of the estate. In addition to obtaining a default judgment against K Legacy and the Debtor's son, the Trustee has also recently commenced proceedings in the BVI, i.e., the jurisdiction where K Legacy is incorporated, to, among other things, rectify K Legacy's membership list and establish the estate's ownership of K Legacy and the London apartment. 105. Following the conclusion of the Individual Debtor's Criminal Trial, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared and filed the Trustee's notice of resumption of the Omnibus Alter Ego Adversary Proceeding [Docket No. 37 in Adv. Proc. No. 23-05249]. 106. Furthermore, during the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys continued to analyze legal issues relating to international service and coordinate service of the complaint and summons on the defendants. In connection information and/or exhibits cited in the complaint that has been designated "Confidential" or "Highly Confidential" pursuant to the Protective Order [Docket No. 923], Paul Hastings attorneys also analyzed the confidentiality designation of such exhibits and redaction applied to the complaint. #### **XV. Avoidance Actions (Matter ID 00029)** ## i. General Litigation (Task Code B191) Fees: \$832,213.96 Total Hours: 593.00 107. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys, in conjunction with Kroll and NPM, continued to analyze potential avoidance actions claims (for instance, with respect to professional services firms) and conducted related research. Paul Hastings attorneys assisted NPM with filing additional Avoidance Action complaints. Ultimately, the Trustee has now filed a total of approximately 300 Avoidance Actions seeking the avoidance of fraudulent and postpetition transfers made by the Individual Debtor through his shell companies. In order to minimize costs, the large majority of these complaints were prepared and filed by NPM. 108. Paul Hastings attorneys, in conjunction with NPM, also prepared and filed (a) the Trustee's responses to various Avoidance Action defendants' motions to dismiss, (b) the Trustee's response to motion to file amicus brief in the Avoidance Action involving Weddle Law PLLC, (c) amended Avoidance Action complaints, and (d) analyze other litigation-related issues, including extension of response deadlines and motions to withdraw the reference. Paul Hastings attorneys also prepared the Trustee's motion for judgment on the pleadings with respect to the Trustee's adversary complaint as against Zeisler & Zeisler, P.C.. The motion was filed on August 2, 2024. As discussed above, Paul Hastings attorneys, in conjunction with NPM, prepared the Trustee's motion to extend the August 15, 2024 deadline for the Trustee to commence actions to avoid and recover fraudulent transfers and/or assert other estate causes of action (which motion was filed on July 19, 2024), and related motions to limit service. The Court granted this motion to extend deadline by order dated August 14, 2024. 109. In addition, Paul Hastings attorneys continued to meet and confer with counsel for Avoidance Action defendants and discuss and analyze potential settlements. #### Case 22-50073 Doc 3700 Filed 10/15/24 Entered 10/15/24 19:17:45 Page 52 of 700 110. Furthermore, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared, in conjunction with NPM, the Trustee's motion (the "Mediation Procedures Motion") to amend the avoidance actions procedures to temporarily stay certain of the recently filed avoidance actions while the Trustee and the respective defendants engage in informal settlement discussions and participate in nonbinding mediation under the supervision of U.S. Bankruptcy Judge James J. Tancredi. The Court granted the Mediation Procedures Motion (with certain revisions) by order, dated May 2, 2024 [Docket No. 3163]. 111. Finally, during the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys continued to analyze and coordinate the service of the Avoidance Action complaints on the respective defendants, including international service through the Hague Convention. #### **XVI. Mediation (Matter ID 00030)** i. General Litigation (Task Code B191) Fees: \$296,586.54 Total Hours: 182.70 112. As discussed above, on March 15, 2024, the Trustee filed his Mediation Procedures Motion to amend the avoidance actions procedures to temporarily stay certain of the recently filed avoidance actions while the Trustee and the respective defendants engage in informal settlement discussions and participate in non-binding mediation under the supervision of U.S. Bankruptcy Judge James J. Tancredi. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys coordinated with NPM in preparing and filing the Trustee's amended proposed orders [Docket Nos. 3105, 3156], and attended hearing on the Mediation Procedures Motion on April 23, 2024 (which was recorded under Matter ID 00002). The Court granted the Trustee's Mediation Procedures Motion by order on May 2, 2024. 113. Furthermore, to prepare for the mediation, during the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys, in conjunction with NPM, (a) analyzed legal issues and caselaw concerning the #### Case 22-50073 Doc 3700 Filed 10/15/24 Entered 10/15/24 19:17:45 Page 53 of 700 mediation and settlement, (b) prepared presentation slides and materials for no less than five mediation presentations held in June and July, 2024, including an introductory presentation and presentations addressing various groups of mediation parties, (c) held discussion with Judge Tancredi, as the mediator, about the mediation processes, and (d) held internal meetings to discuss strategy and analyze case materials in connection with mediation and potential settlements. #### **XVII. Forfeiture Issues (Matter ID 00031)** i. General Litigation (Task Code B191) Fees: \$60,149.00 Total Hours: 32.80 114. In connection with the Individual Debtor's Criminal Case, the U.S. government has seized and sought to forfeit more than \$630 million in various accounts, as well as various other assets controlled by the Individual Debtor (the "Seized Assets") as identified in the third superseding indictment. The Seized Assets and/or the entities in whose name they were held are also subjects of various adversary proceedings commenced by the Trustee. Thus, navigating and resolving forfeiture issues with the U.S. Government is of critical importance to the interest of the estate and of the Individual Debtor's creditors, to whom the Trustee owes a fiduciary duty. 115. In light of the above, during the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys (a) reviewed and analyzed legal issues and case law regarding criminal forfeiture, (b) prepared presentation slides and related materials, and (c) held internal conferences to discuss and strategize. #### **XVIII.K Legacy (Matter ID 00032)** i. Investigations (Task Code B261) Fees: \$19,661.50 Total Hours: 10.80 116. As discussed above, the Omnibus Alter Ego Adversary Proceeding had been stayed pending conclusion of the Individual Debtor's Criminal Trial, except as to the Trustee's claims against defendant K Legacy and Qiang Guo (in his capacity as nominal owner of K #### Case 22-50073 Doc 3700 Filed 10/15/24 Entered 10/15/24 19:17:45 Page 54 of 700 Legacy). During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys continued to prosecute the Trustee's claims as against K Legacy and Qiang Guo. A critical aspect of the Trustee's investigation and litigation is to understand the ownership and corporate structure of K Legacy, an entity organized in the BVI and held title to the Individual Debtor's luxury apartment in London. 117. In light of the above, during the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys, in conjunction with the Trustee's BVI counsel, Harneys, prepared disclosure application to the BVI court. #### **REASONABLENESS OF COMPENSATION** 118. Section 331 of the Bankruptcy Code provides for interim compensation of professionals and incorporates the substantive standards of section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code to govern the Court's award of such compensation. Section 330(a) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that, after notice and a hearing, the Court may award a professional employed under 11 U.S.C. § 327 "reasonable compensation for actual, necessary services rendered" and "reimbursement for actual, necessary expenses." 11 U.S.C. § 330(a)(1).27 119. In determining the amount of "reasonable compensation," the Court must consider the nature, extent, and value of the services, taking into account all the relevant factors, including the time spent on such services, the rates charged for such services, whether the services were necessary and beneficial, whether the services were performed in a reasonable amount of time commensurate with the complexity, importance, and nature of the problem, issue, or task addressed, and whether the compensation is reasonable based on the customary compensation charged by comparably skilled practitioners in cases other than cases under the 27 Under section 328(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, with bankruptcy court approval, a trustee may employ professional persons under section 327(a) of the Bankruptcy Code "on any reasonable terms and conditions of employment, including on a retainer, on an hourly basis, on a fixed or percentage fee basis, or on a contingent fee basis." 11 U.S.C. § 328(a). ### Case 22-50073 Doc 3700 Filed 10/15/24 Entered 10/15/24 19:17:45 Page 55 of 700 Bankruptcy Code. See 11 U.S.C. § 330(a)(3). The Court enjoys "considerable discretion in determining reasonable fee awards." *In re Ahead Communication Systems, Inc.*, 395 B.R. 512 (D. Conn. 2008). 120. In assessing the "reasonableness" of the fees requested, the Second Circuit has stated that courts should consider the factors enumerated in *Johnson v. Ga. Highway Express, Inc.*, 28 while also incorporating the "lodestar method." *See Arbor Hill Concerned Citizens Neighborhood Ass'n v. County of Albany and Albany County Bd. of Elections*, 522 F.3d 182, 190 (2d Cir. 2007) (*citing Johnson v. Ga. Highway Express, Inc.*, 488 F.2d 714 (5th Cir.1974), *abrogated on other grounds* by *Blanchard v. Bergeron*, 489 U.S. 87, 92–93, 96 (1989)). The "lodestar method" of calculating the reasonable fee contemplates "the number of hours reasonably expended . . . multiplied by a reasonable hourly rate." *See Hensley v. Eckerhart*, 461 U.S. 424, 433 (1983); *Gisbrecht v. Barnhart*, 535 U.S. 789, 801 (2002); *Perdue v. Kenny A.*, 130 S.Ct. 1662, 1672 (2010); *In re Drexel Burnham Lambert Grp., Inc.*, 133 B.R. 13 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1991). The factors set forth in *Johnson* and *In re First Colonial Corp. of Am.*, 544 F.2d 1291, 1298–99 (5th Cir. 1977) have been adopted by most courts.29 *See In re Nine Assocs., Inc.*, 76 B.R. 943, 945 (S.D.N.Y. 1987) (adopting *First Colonial/Johnson* analysis); *In re Cuisine Magazine, Inc.*, 61 B.R. 210, 212–13 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y 1986) (same); *Green v. City of New York*, 28 The twelve *Johnson* factors are (1) the time and labor required, (2) the novelty and difficulty of the questions, (3) the skill requisite to perform the legal service properly, (4) the preclusion of other employment by the attorney due to acceptance of the case, (5) the customary fee, (6) whether the fee is fixed or contingent, (7) the time limitations imposed by the client or the circumstances, (8) the amount involved and the results obtained, (9) the experience, reputation, and ability of the attorneys, (10) the "undesirability" of the case, (11) the nature and length of the professional relationship with the client, and (12) awards in similar cases. *Johnson*, 488 F.2d at 717-19. 29 The factors articulated in *First Colonial* were first articulated by the Fifth Circuit in *Johnson*, with the *First Colonial* court adding the factor of the "spirit of economy," which was later rejected by Congress. *See Stroock & Stroock & Lavan v. Hillsborough Holdings Corp. (In re Hillsborough Holdings Corp.)*, 127 F.3d 1398, 1403 (11th Cir. 1997). ## Case 22-50073 Doc 3700 Filed 10/15/24 Entered 10/15/24 19:17:45 Page 56 of 700 403 F. Appx. 626, 629 (2d Cir. 2010) (summary order); *see generally* 3 COLLIER ON BANKRUPTCY ¶ 330.03[9] (Lawrence P. King ed., 16th ed. 2016) (describing *First Colonial* and *Johnson* as the "leading cases with regard to the factors to be considered in determining a reasonable allowance of compensation"). 121. In accordance with the factors enumerated in section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable case law, the amount requested herein by Paul Hastings is fair and reasonable, as set forth below and otherwise in this Application. ### a. **Time and Labor Required** Paul Hastings billed a total of \$5,053,513.53 and 4,006.8 hours of professional and paraprofessional services during the Fee Period. As evidenced by this Application, Paul Hastings professionals and paraprofessionals worked diligently and efficiently without unnecessary duplication of efforts throughout the Fee Period. A small group of the same Paul Hastings attorneys was utilized for the vast majority of the work in order to minimize the costs of intra-Paul Hastings communication and education about the Debtors' circumstances. Whenever possible, Paul Hastings sought to minimize the cost of Paul Hastings' services by utilizing talented junior attorneys and paraprofessionals to handle the more routine aspects of the assignments. The services were performed in an effective and efficient manner commensurate with the complexity, exigency, and importance of the issues involved. In addition, Paul Hastings' representation has required it to balance the need to provide quality services with the need to act quickly and represent the Trustee and the Genever Debtors in an effective, efficient, and timely manner. Paul Hastings submits that the hours spent were reasonable given the size and complexity of these chapter 11 cases, the significant, and often urgent, legal and business issues raised, and the numerous pleadings filed in the chapter 11 cases. Furthermore, as noted detailed above, the Trustee and the Genever Debtors also retained NPM as local and conflicts counsel in order to provide services to the Trustee and the Genever Debtors in a costeffective manner. Paul Hastings and NPM have coordinated and will continue to coordinate each firm's respective responsibilities in connection with the representation of the Trustee and the Genever Debtors. ## b. **Novelty and Difficulty of the Questions** Paul Hastings tasked knowledgeable attorneys to research, analyze, and advise the Trustee and the Genever Debtors on difficult and complex issues during the Fee Period, including issues related to bankruptcy and litigation. Most notably, as detailed in this Application, Paul Hastings investigated complex estate claims and causes of action in order to recover assets of these estates. ## c. **Skill Requisite to Perform the Legal Services Properly** Paul Hastings believes that its recognized expertise in the areas of financial restructuring and corporate reorganization, its ability to draw from highly experienced professionals in other areas of Paul Hastings' practice, and its creative approach to the resolution of issues has contributed to the effective administration of these chapter 11 cases and benefited the Trustee, the Genever Debtors, their estates, and their unsecured creditors. Due to the nature and complexity of the legal issues presented by these chapter 11 cases, Paul Hastings was required to exhibit a high degree of legal skill in areas related to, among others, bankruptcy and litigation. ## d. **Preclusion of Other Employment by Applicant Due to Acceptance of the Case** Due to the size of Paul Hastings' restructuring and litigation departments, Paul Hastings' representation of the Trustee and the Genever Debtors did not preclude its acceptance of new clients, but the demands for immediate and substantive action in these chapter 11 cases imposed significant burdens on Paul Hastings professionals and paraprofessionals working concurrently on other matters. That said, for the Trustee, his engagement as a chapter 11 trustee has, for all practical purposes precluded other employment given that this matter is taking up most of his time. #### e. **Customary Fee** Other than the hourly rate for Luc A. Despins (which has been reduced from his standard hourly rate of \$2,225.00 to \$1,975.00), the fees charged by Paul Hastings in these chapter 11 cases are billed in accordance with its existing billing rates and procedures in effect during the Fee Period. The rates Paul Hastings charges for the services rendered by its professionals and paraprofessionals in these chapter 11 cases are comparable to the rates Paul Hastings charges for professional and paraprofessional services rendered in comparable nonbankruptcy related matters. Moreover, when Paul Hastings' restructuring professionals and paraprofessionals work on nonbankruptcy matters, the firm generally charges their standard rate. Such fees are reasonable based on the customary compensation charged by comparably skilled practitioners in comparable nonbankruptcy cases in a competitive national legal market. In addition, the firm's customary hourly rates and rate structure reflect that restructuring and related matters typically involve great complexity, numerous tasks requiring a high level of expertise, and severe time pressures, as is the case here. ## f. **Whether the Fee Is Fixed or Contingent** Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 330 and 331, all fees sought by professionals employed under Bankruptcy Code section 1103 are subject to final approval by the Court, and are subject to adjustment depending on the services rendered and the results obtained. Of particular note, payment of Paul Hastings' fees here was contingent in two respects: (1) the recovery of assets for the benefit of the estates and (2) monetizing such assets. At the outset of these chapter 11 cases, there was no assurance whatsoever that assets would be recovered and monetized to allow for the payment of estate professionals. Accordingly, Paul Hastings' compensation was, in essence, a contingency fee arrangement. The risk that Paul Hastings assumed by representing the Trustee and the Genever Debtors further supports the reasonableness of Paul Hastings' compensation. ## g. **Time Limitations Imposed by the Client or Other Circumstances** During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings was required to analyze and address certain issues arising in these chapter 11 cases under compressed timelines. For example, given the Individual Debtor's track record of moving assets to keep them out of reach of creditors, it was critical that Paul Hastings act quickly on information obtained during the Trustee's investigation in order to freeze assets. ## h. **Amount Involved and Results Obtained** Paul Hastings professionals and paraprofessionals worked diligently to maximize value for these chapter 11 estates. During the Fee Period, and as described in the summary of services herein, Paul Hastings was instrumental in analyzing potential sources of recovery for the benefit of these estates. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings was able to secure several key rulings from the Court, which rulings will serve as a beachhead for future asset recovery efforts. The reasonableness of Paul Hastings' fees must be evaluated in light of this important strategic factor. ## i. **Experience, Reputation, and Ability of Attorneys** Paul Hastings is consistently recognized as a top tier law firm in the field of business reorganizations and liquidations under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. During the Application Period, Paul Hastings solicited the skill and expertise of its professionals and paraprofessionals. Paul Hastings professionals have actively represented debtors, creditors, and creditors' committees, as well as other parties in interest, in a number of the nation's largest chapter 11 cases as well as in connection with cross-border restructurings. Paul Hastings' extensive experience enables it to perform the services described herein competently and expeditiously. In addition to its expertise in the area of corporate reorganization, Paul Hastings has called upon the expertise of its attorneys in other practice areas as required during the Fee Period. ## j. **"Undesirability" of the Cases** As detailed in this Application, the Individual Debtor's in-court and out-of-court tactics illustrate the undesirability of this engagement, which involved harassment of the Trustee and Paul Hastings attorneys (including death threats against the Trustee). As a result, Paul Hastings was forced to incur hundreds of thousands of dollars in cyber security measures (the cost of which are not part of the expenses for which Paul Hastings is seeking reimbursement in this Application). In addition, prior to the Court granting the First Interim Fee Application at the end of June 2023, Paul Hastings was unable to get paid for its fees for almost a year. #### Case 22-50073 Doc 3700 Filed 10/15/24 Entered 10/15/24 19:17:45 Page 59 of 700 k. **Nature and Length of Professional Relationship** Paul Hastings has been rendering professional services to (a) the Trustee since its retention as counsel effective as of July 8, 2022, (b) Genever (BVI) since its retention as counsel effective as of October 11, 2022, and (c) Genever (US) since its retention as counsel effective as of November 3, 2022. #### 122. Paul Hastings respectfully submits that the services for which it seeks compensation in this Fee Application were, at the time rendered, necessary for and beneficial to the Debtors' estates and their creditors and were rendered to maximize, protect, and preserve value for the Debtors' estates and all parties in interest. Paul Hastings believes that it provided services economically, effectively, and efficiently, and obtained results beneficial to the Debtor's estate and his creditors. Paul Hastings further submit that the compensation requested herein is reasonable in light of the nature, extent, and value of the services rendered during the Fee Period. 123. Paul Hastings also notes that the rates charged during the Fee Period are reasonable. In fact, this Court held that Paul Hastings' New York rates are reasonable because Paul Hastings was retained at New York rates and these cases are extraordinary within this District. *See Order Denying Motion for Stay Pending Appeal* [Docket No. 1791]. 124. All fees incurred by Paul Hastings during the Fee Period were actual, reasonable, and necessary in the performance of services for the Trustee and the Genever Debtors. Paul Hastings respectfully requests approval of the compensation sought herein. #### **ACTUAL AND NECESSARY DISBURSEMENTS** 125. As set forth in Exhibit C hereto, Paul Hastings incurred and disbursed \$165,738.27 as expenses in providing professional services during the Fee Period. These expenses include approximately \$66,684.31 for online legal research (*i.e.*, LEXIS and Westlaw). Because Paul Hastings believes that online legal research (*e.g.*, LEXIS and Westlaw) is far more cost-efficient than manual research using hard-bound volumes, Paul Hastings encourages computerized legal research even though it is not a profit center for Paul Hastings. To be clear, ## Case 22-50073 Doc 3700 Filed 10/15/24 Entered 10/15/24 19:17:45 Page 60 of 700 Paul Hastings does not charge a mark-up on the LEXIS and Westlaw charges, but merely passes on the costs of such third-party services. Moreover, as it relates to outside professional services, mailing, and other service-related expenses, the Trustee and Paul Hastings are merely passing on the costs of such third-party services, without any mark-up.30 - 126. Additional necessary expenses included: - \$76,061.80 for certain outside professional services, such as document review services by UnitedLex (\$31,080.48) and translation services by Divergent Language Solutions (\$330.00); - \$1,567.12 for document reproductions, namely \$1,245.92 for b/w reproductions (at 8 cents per page) and \$321.20 for color reproductions (at 20 cents per page); - \$809.00 for process servers (*e.g.*, Metro Attorney Service Inc.) to serve, among other things, the subpoenas issued pursuant to the Rule 2004 orders entered by this Court; - \$717.50 for court reporting services; - \$8,332.16 for UPS/courier service, including service of pleadings required to be served in hard copy format; and - \$85.00 for corporate document retrieval services (including United Corporate Service and Corp2000) with respect to various Kwok-related entities. - 127. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings utilized UnitedLex -- a third party vendor that specializes in discovery services including document processing, storage, review services, and distribution -- to conduct document review of the documents produced in the chapter 11 cases, including the hundreds of thousands of discovery documents received by the Trustee to date in connection with his investigation. 128. Using their own contract attorneys and review team managers, UnitedLex provides an efficient and economic means of reviewing large document sets at hourly rates 30 Documentation of these expenses will be made available to the Court upon request. #### Case 22-50073 Doc 3700 Filed 10/15/24 Entered 10/15/24 19:17:45 Page 61 of 700 significantly lower than Paul Hastings. UnitedLex's document review team charges hourly rates ranging from \$40 to \$55 (for non-management roles) and \$150 (for management role), which is substantially less than Paul Hastings' hourly rates and, moreover, is even less than the hourly rates of associates of local Connecticut counsel (*i.e.*, NPM), whose hourly rates range from \$220 to \$425. For all these reasons, Paul Hastings believes that utilizing the UnitedLex document review team greatly benefits these estates by reducing document review costs. The Trustee also previewed Paul Hastings' use of UnitedLex with the U.S. Trustee, who had no objection thereto (without the Trustee having to file a separate retention application for UnitedLex). The Trustee and Paul Hastings also disclosed in the *Fourth Supplemental Declaration of Disinterestedness of Luc A. Despins* [Docket No. 1435] that Paul Hastings would utilize UnitedLex's contract attorney services. 129. The time constraints imposed by the circumstances of the matters handled by Paul Hastings during the Fee Period required its attorneys and other employees, at times, to devote substantial time during the evenings and on weekends to perform legal services on behalf of the Trustee. These extraordinary services were essential to meet deadlines, timely respond to inquiries on a daily basis, and satisfy the Trustee's needs and demands. Attorneys and other Paul Hastings employees who worked late in the evenings or on weekends were reimbursed for their reasonable meal and transportation costs in accordance with firm policy. Paul Hastings' regular practice is not to include components for those charges in overhead when establishing billing rates, but rather to charge its clients for these and all other out-of-pocket disbursements incurred during the regular course of the provision of legal services. ## Case 22-50073 Doc 3700 Filed 10/15/24 Entered 10/15/24 19:17:45 Page 62 of 700 130. In accordance with *Appendix D (Guidelines for Compensation and Expense Reimbursement of Professionals)* to the Local Rules, reproduction charges have been capped at 20 cents per page.31 131. The expenses requested herein are customarily charged to non-bankruptcy clients of Paul Hastings. Additionally, the expenses incurred by Paul Hastings to third parties are limited to the actual amounts billed to, or paid by, Paul Hastings on behalf of the estates. 132. Paul Hastings believes the rates for charges incurred are the market rates that the majority of law firms charge clients for such services. In addition, Paul Hastings believes that such charges are in accordance with the American Bar Association's ("ABA") guidelines, as set forth in the ABA's Statement of Principles, dated January 12, 1995, regarding billing for disbursements and other charges. 133. The expenses incurred in providing professional services in the Chapter 11 Case were necessary, economical, and justified under the circumstances. #### **RESPONSE TO THE U.S. TRUSTEE GUIDELINES** 134. Paul Hastings responds to the questions set forth in Paragraph C.5. of the U.S. Trustee Guidelines as follows: | Question: | Did you agree to any variations from, or alternatives to, your
standard or customary billing rates, fees, or terms for services
pertaining to this engagement that were provided during the
Fee Period? | |-----------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Response: | Yes. As a courtesy to these estates and based on
circumstances unique to these chapter 11 cases, during the Fee
Period, Paul Hastings agreed to voluntary fee reductions
aggregating \$251,492.22, including the following: | 31 Generally, Paul Hastings charges 8 cents per page for black-and-white reproductions and 50 cents per page for color reproductions. In accordance with Appendix D to the Local Rules, Paul Hastings has reduced the charge for color reproductions to 20 cents per page. | | (i) | Paul Hastings is not seeking allowance or payment at
this time of the fees incurred by six (6) timekeepers
who billed less than five (5) hours during the Fee
Period. The total amount of such fees is \$14,116.00.
The time billed by these timekeepers was reasonable,
and Paul Hastings reserves the right to seek allowance
of these fees based on the facts and circumstances of
these cases, including, without limitation, if objections
are interposed to the allowance of Paul Hastings' fees
and expenses. | | |-----------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--| | | (ii) | As a result of the agreed-upon reduction in Luc A.

additional \$70,887.50 in fees have been waived. | | | | (iii) | Paul Hastings voluntarily waived \$166,488.72 in fees
related to document review. | | | Question: | If the fees sought in this application as compared to the fees
budgeted for the Fee Period are higher by 10% or more, did
you discuss the reasons for the variation with the client. | | | | Response: | Not applicable. | | | | Question: | Have any of the professionals included in this application
varied their hourly rate based on the geographic location of the
bankruptcy case? | | | | Response: | No. | | | | Question: | Does the application include time or fees related to reviewing
or revising time records or preparing, reviewing, or revising
invoices? (This is limited to work involved in preparing and
editing billing records that would not be compensable outside
of bankruptcy and does not include reasonable fees for
preparing a fee application.) If so, please quantify by hours
and fees. | | | | Response: | The Application does not include time for preparing,
reviewing, or revising time records. However, the Application
does include approximately 21.4 hours and associated fees of
approximately \$38,477.00 related to preparing, reviewing, and
revising Paul Hastings' fee statements and ensuring time
entries are properly categorized by matter number and task
code. On average, approximately 4.3 hours were spent on | | | each of the five monthly fee statements prepared during the Fee Period. **Question**: Does this application include time or fees for reviewing time records to redact any privileged or other confidential information? If so, please quantify by hours and fees. **Response**: No. **Question**: If the application includes any rate increases since retention: (i) Did your client review and approve those rate increases in advance? (ii) Did your client agree when retaining the law firm to accept all future rates increases? If not, did you inform your client that they need not agree to modified rates or terms in order to have you continue the representation consistent with ABA Formal Ethics Opinion 11-458? **Response**: As is customary, Paul Hastings adjusts its hourly rates periodically based upon (i) the advancing seniority of its professionals and paraprofessionals, (ii) the current market for legal services, (iii) the rates charged for comparable non‐ bankruptcy services, and (iv) the firm's analysis of the hourly rates being charged by professionals in other law firms. Effective January 1, 2023, September 1, 2023, and January 1, 2024, Paul Hastings adjusted its hourly rates consistent with the Retention Order [Docket Nos. 668 and 1376] and the *Notices of Change in Hourly Rates of Paul Hastings LLP, Counsel to Chapter 11 Trustee* [Docket Nos. 1251, 2075, and 2450]. #### **RESERVATION OF RIGHTS** 135. To the extent that time or disbursement charges for services rendered or expenses incurred during the Fee Period are not included in this Application, or the Trustee and Paul Hastings have for any reason not sought compensation or reimbursement with respect to such services (including, as noted above, services related to the preparation and prosecution of the Civil RICO Adversary Proceeding), Paul Hastings reserves the right to request compensation and reimbursement for such services in a supplemental or future application in the Debtors' chapter 11 cases. Also, Paul Hastings does not waive, and expressly reserves, its right to respond to any objections regarding this Application and the amounts sought for services rendered and expenses incurred. ## **NO PRIOR REQUEST** 136. No previous request for the relief sought herein has been made to this Court or any other court.

The blended hourly rate for Paul Hastings' timekeepers who billed to these chapter 11 cases during the Fee Period was approximately \$1,261 per hour. A detailed comparison of these rates follows: | Category of Timekeeper | Blended Hourly Rate | | | | |----------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|--------------------------------|--|--| | | Non-Bankruptcy Matters
Blended Hourly Rate | Debtor Blended Hourly
Rate2 | | | | Partner | \$1,619 | \$1,876 | | | | Counsel | \$1,454 | \$1,821 | | | | Associate | \$1,030 | \$1,114 | | | | Paraprofessionals | \$480 | \$555 | | | | All Timekeepers Aggregated | \$1,234 | \$1,261 | | | 1 It is the nature of Paul Hastings' practice that certain non-bankruptcy engagements require the advice and counsel of professionals and paraprofessionals who work primarily within Paul Hastings' restructuring group. Accordingly, Non-Bankruptcy Matters consist of matters for which Paul Hastings' timekeepers represented a client in matters other than court-approved engagements as counsel for the debtor, the chapter 11 trustee, or an official committee under the Bankruptcy Code. As such, the Non-Bankruptcy Matters include, in part, time billed by Paul Hastings' timekeepers who work primarily within Paul Hastings' restructuring group. 2 Luc A. Despins brings to the Title III Cases over 36 years of experience representing debtors and creditors in high profile and complex restructuring matters. Given the complexity and challenges faced by the Trustee in these cases, a significant amount of time by senior partners, of counsel, and senior associates, including Mr. Despins, Nicholas Bassett, Alexander Bongartz, Shlomo Maza, and Douglass Barron has been necessary. Because their rates are at the higher end of the range of rates billed by Paul Hastings partners, of counsel, and associates, respectively, and in light of the fact that a significant amount of senior partner, of counsel, and senior associate time has been required for this engagement, the blended rate for this case moved to the higher end of the range of rates billed by Paul Hastings. Finally, the blended attorney hourly rate for the Fee Period is not comparable to the average hourly rate in other matters because it does not reflect numerous cost-saving measures, including the delegation of a variety of matters to NPM, matters for which otherwise more junior Paul Hastings attorneys with lower hourly rates would have been used, thereby reducing Paul Hastings' blended hourly rate. ### **EXHIBIT B1** #### **Summary of Timekeepers Included in this Application** | Name | Department; Date of
