# **RELIEF REQUESTED**

4. By this Objection, the Objectors seek entry of an order, substantially in the form of the Proposed Order attached hereto, disallowing and expunging the Disputed Claims.

#### **BACKGROUND**

# **A. Commencement of Chapter 11 Cases**

5. On October 12, 2020, Genever US filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy 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").

6. No chapter 11 trustee or examiner was appointed in the SDNY Bankruptcy Case.

7. Genever US is an LLC whose sole member is Genever Holdings Corporation

("Genever BVI"). On February 15, 2022, Ho Wan Kwok (the "Individual Debtor"), holder of

2 Copies of the Disputed Claims are attached hereto as **Exhibit 2**.

100% of the shares of Genever BVI, filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in this Court.

8. On June 15, 2022, the Court entered an order directing the United States Trustee to appoint a trustee in the chapter 11 case of the Individual Debtor (the "Trustee Order") [Docket No. 465].

9. On July 7, 2022, the United States Trustee filed the notice and application with respect to the appointment of Luc A. Despins as the chapter 11 trustee (the "Trustee") in the Individual Debtor's case pursuant to section 1104(d) of the Bankruptcy Code. [Docket No. 515].

10. On July 8, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order granting the appointment of the Trustee in the Individual Debtor's case. [Docket No. 523].

11. On August 10, 2022, the Court entered an order (the "Corporate Governance Order") [Docket No. 717] confirming the Trustee's economic and governance rights with respect to entities controlled by the Individual Debtor, including Genever BVI and Genever US, providing, among other things:

[T]he Trustee holds all of the [Individual] Debtor's economic and governance rights, for the benefit of the Estate, with respect to all [Individual] Debtor-Controlled Entities, including, without limitation, Genever BVI. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing rights include the Trustee's asserted authority to replace any existing officer, director, manager, or similar person of the [Individual] Debtor-Controlled Entities. As part of the foregoing, to the extent necessary, the Trustee is authorized to act, in his capacity as the chapter 11 trustee in this Chapter 11 Case, as any such officer, director, manager, or similar person who has been removed.

Corporate Governance Order ¶ 2.

12. On September 30, 2022, the Trustee and Genever US filed the joint motion to transfer venue of Genever US's chapter 11 case to this Court [Docket No. 211 in Case No. 20- 12411 (JLG)] (the "Venue Transfer Motion"). By order dated November 3, 2022, the SDNY Bankruptcy Court granted the Venue Transfer Motion.

13. On October 11, 2022, Genever BVI filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in this Court.

15. 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].

16. On November 21, 2022, this Court entered an order approving the joint administration of the chapter 11 cases of the Individual Debtor, Genever BVI, and Genever US [Docket No. 1141].

#### **B. The Apartment and Disputed Claims**

17. On March 6, 2015, Genever US purchased 3,050 shares of stock in Sherry-Netherland, Inc. (the "Sherry-Netherland") and entered into those certain proprietary leases, as lessee, with the Sherry-Netherland, as lessor, for apartment units 1801, 719 and 2219 (collectively, the "Apartment") located at 781 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10022, appurtenant to the shares of stock.

18. In each of the Disputed Claims, Bravo Luck, an entity allegedly owned by Qiang Guo, the Individual Debtor's son, asserts that it is the beneficial owner of Genever BVI, Genever US, and the Apartment (the "Ownership Claim") by virtue of a purported trust agreement dated February 17, 2015 (the "Purported Trust Agreement").3 In the alternative, Bravo Luck asserts in each of the Disputed Claims an alternative general unsecured claim for \$76,296,746.85 (the "Alternative Monetary Claim") based on payments alleged to have been made in connection with

3 The Trustee has commenced adversary proceedings challenging the Purported Trust Agreement (Consolidated Adv. Proc. No. 22-05027) (the "Bravo Luck Adversary Proceedings").

the purchase the Apartment and related expenses, \$13,306,005.00 of which were allegedly paid by Qiang Guo personally.4 In addition, Bravo Luck asserts that \$2 million of its Alternative Monetary Claim is entitled to administrative expense priority.

#### **BASIS FOR RELIEF**

#### **A. Legal Standard**

19. Section 502(a) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that "[a] claim or interest, proof of which is filed under section 501 of this title, is deemed allowed, unless a party in interest . . . objects." 11 U.S.C. § 502(a). Additionally, Bankruptcy Rule 3001(f) provides a properly filed proof of claim is *prima facie* evidence of the claim. However, for the proof of claim to receive *prima facie* validity, it must "set forth the facts necessary to support the claim." *In re Chain*, 255 B.R. 278, 280 (Bankr. D. Conn, 2000) (internal quotation omitted); *In re Marino*, 90 B.R. 25, 28 (Bankr. D. Conn. 1988); *see also In re Avaya, Inc*., 608 B.R. 366, 369-70 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2019) (providing a claimant must allege facts that if true would support a ruling the debtor is legally indebted to the claimant).

20. Once a party rebuts *prima facie* validity, the claimant then bears the burden to "prove by a preponderance of the evidence that under applicable law the claim should be allowed." *Creamer v. Motors Liquidation Co. GUC Trust (In re Motors Liquidation Co.)*, No. 12 Civ. 6074, 2013 WL 5549643, at \*3 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 26, 2013) (internal quotation marks omitted); *See also In re Residential Capital, LLC*, No. 15 Civ. 3248, 2016 WL 796860, at \*9

4 This \$13,306,005.00 is the subject of proof of claim 3-1 filed by Qiang Guo on March 5, 2021 (the "Qiang Guo Proof of Claim"). Genever US filed its objection to the Qiang Guo Proof of Claim on March 31, 2023, with respect to which no timely response was filed. *See Notice of (I) Failure to File Timely Response to Claim Objection and (II) Filing of Proposed Order Disallowing and Expunging Claim No. 3-1 filed by Qiang Guo* [Case No. 22-50073, Docket No. 1733].

(S.D.N.Y. Feb. 22, 2016) ("Once a party objects … courts employ a burden-shifting framework to determine whether a claim should be allowed or disallowed.").

#### **B. Ownership Claim Unsupported By Evidence**

21. Bravo Luck's Ownership Claim is supported by nothing more than bald allegations to the effect that Bravo Luck was intended to be the owner of the Apartment and a reference to the Purported Trust Agreement, which is not attached to any of the Disputed Claims. Similarly, the Disputed Claims do not contain any witness affidavits or other evidence supporting the veracity of the Ownership Claim or the validity and authenticity of the Purported Trust Agreement, which, as the Court is aware, the Objectors have separately challenged as a back-dated forgery.

22. Moreover, the Objectors have analyzed the documentary record and have found no evidence indicating that when the Apartment was purchased its intended owner was Bravo Luck. In particular, among other things, the documents submitted by the Individual Debtor in connection with the purchase of the Apartment stated that it was the Individual Debtor that would own the Apartment through Genever BVI and Genever US, and the proprietary lease and related agreements governing the purchase of the Apartment prohibited any transfer of the Apartment, Genever BVI, or Genever US to another party (as Bravo Luck essentially argues occurred through the purported Trust Agreement).

23. Given the lack of evidence supporting Bravo Luck's Ownership Claim, the Disputed Claims should be expunged and disallowed.

#### **C. Alternative Monetary Claim Not** *Prima Facie* **Valid**

24. Bravo Luck asserts, in the alternative, the Alternative Monetary Claim of over \$76 million "arising from its advancement of funds for the purchase of the Apartment and any other funds advanced to maintain the Apartment," but provides no legal basis by which any of

the Objectors is obligated to reimburse Bravo Luck for such payment, nor does Bravo Luck allege any facts, that if true, would support a finding that it has a right to payment from any of the Objectors. Just because one or more of the Objectors may have indirectly benefitted from Bravo Luck's expenditures does not mean that any of the Objectors have a legal obligation to Bravo Luck. *See In re Keeley & Grabanski Land P'Ship*, No. 10–31482, 2013 WL 238570, at \*13 (Bankr. D.N.D. May 30, 2013) ("Although someone may receive a benefit from the expenditure of money, a legal obligation or a right to payment is not necessarily created. Claims arise under substantive law.").

25. Moreover, while Bravo Luck attached to the Disputed Claims certain documents relating to its alleged funding of the purchase of the Apartment, there is nothing in the documents attached to the Disputed Claims memorializing an agreement that one or more of the Objectors would reimburse Bravo Luck for its contributions, nor do these documents contain information that would otherwise demonstrate Bravo Luck has a claim under applicable law.5

26. The Objectors do not recognize any liability for the Alternative Monetary Claim and the documents attached to the Disputed Claims do not establish that any of the Objectors is liable to Bravo Luck. Accordingly, the Disputed Claims should be disallowed and expunged in its entirety.

#### **D. Additional Grounds for Disallowance and Subordination**

27. In addition to the issues discussed above, the Disputed Claim against Genever US should also be disallowed because, as examined in more detail in connection with the Bravo Luck Adversary Proceedings, the Purported Trust Agreement, even if valid, only transfers, by its

5 The Objectors assume, for the purpose of this Objection, a fact that the Objectors do not concede, which is that Bravo Luck is an entity, with its own funds, separate from and independent of the Individual Debtor.

#### Case 22-50073 Doc 1842 Filed 05/31/23 Entered 05/31/23 17:47:50 Page 10 of 148

terms, interests in the equity of Genever US and Genever BVI, not the Apartment itself, to which Genever US holds title.

28. Moreover, to the degree that the Purported Trust Agreement (1) is valid and (2) resulted in a transfer of the beneficial ownership of equity in Genever US and Genever BVI, Bravo Luck's Alternative Monetary Claim should be subordinated pursuant to section 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code as a claim arising from the purchase or sale of a security of a debtor or affiliate of a debtor.

#### **RESERVATION OF RIGHTS**

29. This Objection is not limited to the grounds stated herein. Accordingly, it is without prejudice to the rights of the Objectors to object to the Disputed Claims on any ground whatsoever, including on grounds asserted in connection with the Bravo Luck Adversary Proceedings. The Objectors expressly reserves all further substantive or procedural objections, including under section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code. Nothing contained herein or any actions taken pursuant to such relief is intended or should be construed as: (a) an admission as to the validity of any prepetition claim against any of the Objectors; (b) a waiver of any of the Objectors' rights to dispute any prepetition claim on any grounds; (c) a promise or requirement to pay any prepetition claim; (d) an implication or admission that any particular claim is of a type specified or defined in this Objection or any order granting the relief requested by this Objection; or (e) a waiver of any of the Objectors' rights under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law.

#### [*Remainder of page intentionally left blank.*]

**WHEREFORE**, the Objectors respectfully requests that the Court disallow the Disputed

Claims and grant such other and further relief as is just.

Bravo Luck Limited ("Bravo Luck") hereby submits this addendum to its attached proof of claim (the "Proof of Claim"). As set forth below and asserted through the Proof of Claim, Genever Holdings Corporation (the "Debtor") is liable to Bravo Luck in the amount of not less than \$76,296,746.85, plus interest in an amount to be calculated (the "Claim Amount").

#### **BACKGROUND RELATED TO BRAVO LUCK'S CLAIM**

1. Bravo Luck is a BVI Business Company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Qiang Guo ("Guo") is the sole shareholder of Bravo Luck.

2. In early 2015, Bravo Luck identified the 18th Floor apartment of the Sherry-Netherland, Inc. (the "Sherry-Netherland"), 781 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10022 (including certain personalty and servant's rooms located at units 2219 and 719, collectively, the "Apartment") as a potential investment property. It was always the intention of Bravo Luck and the parties to the transaction, that Bravo Luck would be the owner of the Apartment. However, after initial discussions between Guo and/or his agents, Guo was advised that the Application would likely be more successful if an older, more established individual was the nominal Applicant. Therefore, pursuant to an agreement dated February 17, 2015 (the "Agreement"), Miles Kwok ("Kwok") was nominated as the established individual supporting the application of Genever Holdings, LLC ("Genever US" and, with the Debtor, the "Genever Entities")—which is wholly owned by the Debtor—for the Apartment. Bravo Luck, Kwok and the Genever Entities entered into the Agreement that made clear that Kwok was nominated to hold the Genever Entities, the Apartment and the income, profits, and dividends thereof (if any) for Bravo Luck as the beneficial owner of the Genever Entities and, thus, the Apartment.

3. Despite the need to bring in an individual applicant older than Guo to support the Apartment purchase, the records clearly indicate that the funds to buy and maintain the Apartment were advanced, directly or indirectly, by Bravo Luck. On March 4, 2015, Bravo Luck transferred \$62,990,741.86 to Ivey Barnum and O'Mara, LLC, the attorneys for the seller of the Apartment. The memo line of the wire transfer provided that the funds were to "buy a property in New York." On March 5, 2015, Bravo Luck transferred \$6,300,000.00 to Guo to pay expenses that would arise at the Apartment sale closing.

4. On March 6, 2015, the sale of the Apartment closed. Guo was in attendance at the closing as an officer and representative of Bravo Luck. The chart below shows the specific amounts that were paid directly or indirectly by Bravo Luck related to the purchase of the Apartment. Attached hereto as **Exhibit A** are excerpts from closing memoranda showing the payment of these amounts:

| Amount | Purpose | |-----------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------| | \$7,000,000 | Contract deposit related to Apartment purchase | | \$62,990,741.85 | Balance of Apartment's purchase price | | \$3,369,000 | Apartment's maintenance escrow | | \$1,350,000 | 2% flip tax on Apartment | | \$56,150.00 | Apartment's March 2015 maintenance | | \$1,871.67 | March 2015 hallway license fee | | \$675,000 | 1% New York mansion tax | | \$33,622.50 | For Stroock & Stroock legal fees | | \$221,875.00 | New York sales tax of 8.875% | | \$600.00 | For lien search on Apartment | | \$275,000 | For Paul Weiss legal fees | | \$26,000 | Contract deposit for servant's room (unit 719) | | \$234,000 | Balance of purchase price of servant's room (unit 719) | | \$935.83 | Paid at closing for March 2015 maintenance on servant's room (unit | | | 719) | | \$600.00 | Paid at closing for lien search on servant's room (unit 719) | | \$5,200.00 | Paid at closing for 2% flip tax on servant's room (unit 719) | | \$56,150.00 | Paid at closing for maintenance escrow on servant's room (unit 719) | | \$76,296,746.85 | |

#### **The Debtor's Bankruptcy Filing**

5. On October 11, 2022, the Debtor filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut.

# **BRAVO LUCK'S OWNERSHIP OF APARTMENT AND, ALTERNATIVELY, GENERAL UNSECURED AND ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMS**

6. Bravo Luck asserts that it is the beneficial owner of the Apartment with the Apartment being nominally held by Kwok and the Genever Entities for Bravo Luck's benefit. Accordingly, Bravo Luck asserts that the Apartment and any proceeds from its sale are property of Bravo Luck—not property of the Debtor.

7. If a court with jurisdiction over Bravo Luck determines that Bravo Luck does not own the Apartment by virtue of the Apartment being held by Kwok and the Genever Entities (including the Debtor) for Bravo Luck's benefit, Bravo Luck asserts a general unsecured claim against the Debtor in an amount of not less than \$76,296,746.85 arising from its advancement of funds for the purchase of the Apartment and any other funds advanced to maintain the Apartment.

8. Additionally, because the Apartment's maintenance deposit, funded by Bravo Luck, has been applied on a post-petition basis, Bravo Luck asserts an administrative expense priority claim in excess of \$2 million as part of this claim.

9. Furthermore, to the extent that a court with jurisdiction over Bravo Luck determines that Bravo Luck does not own the Apartment, Bravo Luck expressly reserves the right to recover interest on the Claim Amount.

## **RESERVATION OF RIGHTS**

#### Case 22-50073 Doc 1842 Filed 05/31/23 Entered 05/31/23 17:47:50 Page 24 of Case 22-50542 Claim 2-1 Filed 02/17/23 Desc Main Document Page 7 of 43 148

modified, supplementary and/or amended proofs of claim and requests for administrative expenses determined to have been funded directly or indirectly by Bravo Luck in connection with the Apartment and with full reservation of (1) Bravo Luck's rights and/or claims against any party other than the Debtor; and (2) Bravo Luck's interests in any property, including any property of the estate(s).

11. Bravo Luck reserves all rights of setoff and recoupment.

12. Bravo Luck does not waive any claims against Debtor that may arise postpetition, post-confirmation or after the conversion of this case to a case under any other chapter of the Bankruptcy Code.

13. The filing of this Proof of Claim is not intended and should not be construed to be an election of remedies, waiver of any past, present or future defaults or events of default, or a waiver or limitation of any rights, remedies, claims, or interest of Bravo Luck.

#### **NO CONSENT TO JURISDICTION**

14. By filing this Proof of Claim, Bravo Luck does not submit to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court for any purpose other than with respect to the claims asserted in this Proof of Claim, and Bravo Luck does not waive, and specifically preserves, all of its procedural and substantive defenses (including, without limitation, any rights of setoff and recoupment) to, any claim that may be asserted against Bravo Luck by Debtor, any trustee of Debtor's estate (including the chapter 11 trustee), any post-confirmation estate fiduciary, or any other party.

#### **ADDITIONAL NOTICE ADDRESS**

In addition to notices sent to Bravo Luck at the location provided in question number three on the Proof of Claim, please also send any notices or communications with respect to this Proof of Claim to: Francis Lawall, Esq., Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP, 3000

# **GENEVER HOLDINGS LLC UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, CASE NO. 20-12411 ADDENDUM TO PROOF OF CLAIM OF BRAVO LUCK LIMITED**

Bravo Luck Limited ("Bravo Luck") hereby submits this addendum to its attached proof of claim (the "Proof of Claim"). As set forth below and asserted through the Proof of Claim, Genever Holdings LLC (the "Debtor") is liable to Bravo Luck in the amount of not less than \$76,296,746.85, plus interest in an amount to be calculated (the "Claim Amount").

#### **BACKGROUND RELATED TO BRAVO LUCK'S CLAIM**

1. Bravo Luck is a BVI Business Company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Qiang Guo ("Guo") is the sole shareholder of Bravo Luck.

2. In early 2015, Bravo Luck identified the 18th Floor apartment of the Sherry-Netherland, Inc. (the "Sherry-Netherland"), 781 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10022 (including certain personalty and servant's rooms located at units 2219 and 719, collectively, the "Apartment") as a potential investment property. Bravo Luck was always intended to be the ultimate owner of the Apartment, however, after initial discussions between Guo and/or his agents, Guo was advised that the Application would likely be more successful if an older, more established individual was the nominal Applicant. Therefore, Miles Kwok ("Kwok") was brought in to be the established individual supporting the Debtor's application for the Apartment. Bravo Luck, Kwok, the Debtor and Genever Holdings Corporation ("Genever BVI" and, with the Debtor, the "Genever Entities") entered into a trust agreement to make clear that Kwok as the trustee was holding the Genever Entities and the income, profits, and dividends thereof (if any) in trust for Bravo Luck as the beneficial owner of the Genever Entities and, thus, the Apartment.

3. Despite the need to bring in an individual applicant older than Guo to support the Apartment purchase, the records clearly indicate that the funds to buy and maintain

the Apartment were advanced, directly or indirectly, by Bravo Luck. On March 4, 2015, Bravo Luck transferred \$62,990,741.86 to Ivey Barnum and O'Mara, LLC, the attorneys for the seller of the Apartment. The memo line of the wire transfer provided that the funds were to "buy a property in New York." On March 5, 2015, Bravo Luck transferred \$6,300,000.00 to Guo for expenses that would arise at the Apartment sale closing.

4. On March 6, 2015, the sale of the Apartment closed. Guo was in

attendance at the closing as an officer and representative of Bravo Luck. The chart below shows

the specific amounts that were paid by Bravo Luck related to the purchase of the Apartment.

Attached hereto as **Exhibit A** are excerpts from closing memoranda showing the payment of

these amounts:

| Amount | Purpose | |------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------| | \$7,000,000 | Contract deposit related to Apartment purchase | | \$62,990,741.85 | Balance of Apartment's purchase price | | \$3,369,000 | Apartment's maintenance escrow | | \$1,350,000 | 2% flip tax on Apartment | | \$56,150.00 | Apartment's March 2015 maintenance | | \$1,871.67 | March 2015 hallway license fee | | \$675,000 | 1% New York mansion tax | | \$33,622.50 | For Stoock & Stroock legal fees | | \$221,875.00 | New York sales tax of 8.875% | | \$600.00 | For lien search on Apartment | | \$275,000 | For Paul Weiss legal fees | | \$26,000 | Contract deposit for servant's room (unit 719) | | \$234,000 | Balance of purchase price of servant's room (unit 719) | | \$935.83 | Paid at closing for March 2015 maintenance on servant's room (unit | | | 719) | | \$600.00 | Paid at closing for lien search on servant's room (unit 719) | | \$5,200.00 | Paid at closing for 2% flip tax on servant's room (unit 719) | | \$56,150.00 | Paid at closing for maintenance escrow on servant's room (unit 719) | | \$76,296,746.851 | |

1 Certain of the amounts in the chart may have been paid by Guo or Golden Spring New York Ltd ("Golden Spring"), but such amounts were originally funded by Bravo Luck so that Guo or Golden Spring could use such funds to pay amounts incurred at the closing of the Apartment sale. As such, Bravo Luck's position is that such amounts are claims of Bravo Luck. Bravo Luck is aware that Guo and Golden Spring are filing their own claims for these amounts as alternative relief to Bravo Luck's claim, *i.e.*, in case the Apartment is not determined to be Bravo Luck's property and the Bankruptcy Court determines that these amounts came from Guo or Golden Spring rather (Continued...)

#### **Genever US's Bankruptcy Filing**

5. On October 12, 2020, the Debtor filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

### **BRAVO LUCK'S OWNERSHIP OF APARTMENT AND, ALTERNATIVELY, GENERAL UNSECURED CLAIM**

6. Bravo Luck asserts that it is the beneficial owner of the Apartment with the Apartment being held in trust by Kwok and the Genever Entities for Bravo Luck's benefit. Accordingly, Bravo Luck asserts that the Apartment and any proceeds from its sale are property of Bravo Luck—not property of the Debtor.

7. If a court with jurisdiction over Bravo Luck determines that Bravo Luck does not own the Apartment by virtue of the Apartment being held in trust by Kwok and the Genever Entities (including the Debtor), Bravo Luck asserts a general unsecured claim against the Debtor in an amount of not less than \$76,296,746.85 arising from its advancement of funds for the purchase of the Apartment and any other funds advanced to maintain the Apartment.

8. Additionally, if the Apartment's maintenance deposit, funded by Bravo Luck, is applied on a postpetition basis, Bravo Luck reserves the right to amend this claim to assert that any such amounts are entitled to administrative expense priority or to file a motion asserting the same.

than Bravo Luck, then Guo's and Golden Spring's claims would govern. The parties are not seeking a duplicate recovery.

#### **RESERVATION OF RIGHTS**

10. This Proof of Claim is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any and all other claims, rights and remedies held by Bravo Luck in the bankruptcy case. This Proof of Claim is filed with a full reservation of rights and remedies, including the right to assert additional, modified, supplementary and/or amended proofs of claim and requests for administrative expenses determined to have been funded directly or indirectly by Bravo Luck in connection with the Apartment and with full reservation of (1) Bravo Luck's rights and/or claims against any party other than the Debtor; and (2) Bravo Luck's interests in any property, including any property of the estate(s).

11. Bravo Luck reserves all rights of setoff and recoupment.

12. Bravo Luck does not waive any claims against Debtor that may arise postpetition, post-confirmation or after the conversion of this case to a case under any other chapter of the Bankruptcy Code.

# **HO WAN KWOK UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT, CASE NO. 22-50073 ADDENDUM TO PROOF OF CLAIM OF BRAVO LUCK LIMITED**

Bravo Luck Limited ("Bravo Luck") hereby submits this addendum to its attached proof of claim (the "Proof of Claim"). As set forth below and asserted through the Proof of Claim, Ho Wan Kwok, also known as Miles Kwok, (the "Debtor") is liable to Bravo Luck in the amount of not less than \$76,296,746.85, plus interest in an amount to be calculated (the "Claim Amount").

#### **BACKGROUND RELATED TO BRAVO LUCK'S CLAIM**

1. Bravo Luck is a BVI Business Company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Qiang Guo ("Guo") is the sole shareholder of Bravo Luck.

2. In early 2015, Bravo Luck identified the 18th Floor apartment of the Sherry-Netherland, Inc. (the "Sherry-Netherland"), 781 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10022 (including certain personalty and servant's rooms located at units 2219 and 719, collectively, the "Apartment") as a potential investment property. It was always the intention of Bravo Luck and the parties to the transaction, that Bravo Luck would be the owner of the Apartment. However, after initial discussions between Guo and/or his agents, Guo was advised that the Application would likely be more successful if an older, more established individual was the nominal Applicant. Therefore, pursuant to an agreement dated February 17, 2015 (the "Agreement"), the Debtor was nominated as the established individual supporting the application of Genever Holdings, LLC ("Genever US")—which is wholly owned by Genever Holdings Corporation ("Genever BVI" and, with Genever US, the "Genever Entities")—for the Apartment. Bravo Luck, the Debtor and the Genever Entities entered into the Agreement that made clear that the Debtor was nominated to hold the Genever Entities, the Apartment and the income, profits, and dividends thereof (if any) for Bravo Luck as the beneficial owner of the Genever Entities and, thus, the Apartment.

#### **The Debtor's Bankruptcy Filing**

5. On February 15, 2022, the Debtor filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut.

# **BRAVO LUCK'S OWNERSHIP OF APARTMENT AND, ALTERNATIVELY, GENERAL UNSECURED AND ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMS**

6. Bravo Luck asserts that it is the beneficial owner of the Apartment with the Apartment being nominally held by the Debtor and the Genever Entities for Bravo Luck's benefit. Accordingly, Bravo Luck asserts that the Apartment and any proceeds from its sale are property of Bravo Luck—not property of the Debtor.

7. If a court with jurisdiction over Bravo Luck determines that Bravo Luck does not own the Apartment by virtue of the Apartment being held by the Debtor and the Genever Entities for Bravo Luck's benefit, Bravo Luck asserts a general unsecured claim against the Debtor in an amount of not less than \$76,296,746.85 arising from its advancement of funds for the purchase of the Apartment and any other funds advanced to maintain the Apartment.

#### **RESERVATION OF RIGHTS**

#### Case 22-50073 Doc 1842 Filed 05/31/23 Entered 05/31/23 17:47:50 Page 113 of Case 22-50073 Claim 117-1 Filed 02/17/23 Desc Main Document Page 7 of 42 148

determined to have been funded directly or indirectly by Bravo Luck in connection with the Apartment and with full reservation of (1) Bravo Luck's rights and/or claims against any party other than the Debtor; and (2) Bravo Luck's interests in any property, including any property of the estate(s).

11. Bravo Luck reserves all rights of setoff and recoupment.

12. Bravo Luck does not waive any claims against Debtor that may arise postpetition, post-confirmation or after the conversion of this case to a case under any other chapter of the Bankruptcy Code.
