By order entered October 3, 2022, the Court authorized Harney's retention as British Virgin Islands counsel for the Trustee [ECF No. 669] (together with the retention order with respect to Genever (BVI) [Docket No. 1286], the "Retention Order") effective as of July 31, 2022 in the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case. The Retention Order authorizes Harneys to be compensated on an hourly basis and reimbursed for actual and necessary out-of-pocket expenses

13. On January 4, 2023, the Court granted Genever (BVI)'s application to retain Harneys as counsel to Genever (BVI) in its chapter 11 case, effective as of its petition date, *i.e.*, November 21, 2022 [ECF No. 1286].
#### **III. Monthly Fee Statement**
14. On August 18, 2023, the Court entered the Interim Compensation Procedures Order, which, among other things, approves procedures for the payment of 80% of fees and 100% of expenses on a monthly basis.
15.

16. No objections were filed in response to the Monthly Fee Statement, and, accordingly, on September 28, 2023, the estates paid Harneys 80% of the fees and 100% of the expenses identified in this Monthly Fee Statement.
## **INTERIM FEE APPLICATION OF PAUL HASTINGS LLP AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE**
17. Paul Hastings LLP ("Paul Hastings") is lead counsel to the Trustee, Genever (BVI), and Genever Holdings LLC ("Genever (US)") in these chapter 11 cases. As discussed herein, throughout the course of these chapter 11 cases, Harneys has worked cooperatively with Paul Hastings as British Virgin Islands counsel to the Trustee and Genever (BVI).
18. On May 30, 2023, Paul Hastings filed its *Interim Fee Application of Paul Hastings LLP for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for the Period from July 8, 2022 through February 28, 2023* [ECF No. 1831] and, on August 4, 2023, Paul Hastings filed its *Second Interim Fee Application of Paul Hastings LLP for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for the Period from March 1, 2023 through June 30, 2023* [ECF No. 2051] (together, the "PH Applications"). The PH Applications contain extensive discussion of the history of these chapter 11 cases and the nature of legal services performed for the Trustee, Genever (BVI), and Genever (US). To avoid repetition, Harneys thus incorporates herein by reference the background discussions from the PH Applications.
19. In the interest of efficiency and reducing administrative expense, throughout the Trustee's investigation and asset-recovery efforts, and the administration of these chapter 11 cases, Harneys was instructed by Paul Hastings on July 31, 2022 to render general legal services, as BVI counsel, as needed throughout the course of the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case and Genever (BVI)'s chapter 11 case.
#### **ALLOWANCE REQUEST**
20. The Applicant is applying for compensation pursuant to Sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code for legal services performed for the Trustee and Genever (BVI) during the Application Period.
21. For the Application Period, the Applicant seeks allowance of \$442,428.00 as compensation for services rendered and allowance and reimbursement of \$41,729.06 in expenses incurred in connection with such services. The Applicant devoted 586.5 hours to this case during the Application Period, equating to an overall blended rate of \$729.26.
22. As noted, Harneys has already received payment of \$350,918.40 of the fees incurred during the Application Period and \$41,729.06 of the expenses incurred during the Application Period, such that Harneys is only seeking payment of the remaining 20% of its fees incurred during the Application Period, namely \$87,729.60.
23. Throughout the Application Period, the Applicant maintained records to indicate the name of each attorney or paraprofessional working on this matter, the time spent on a particular issue, and the nature of the work performed. These records, which describe in detail the services rendered by the Applicant, were created at the approximate time the services were performed.
24. Annexed hereto and made a part hereof as **Exhibit D** is a detailed billing report, upon which this application is based that contains each individual professional's time for the Debtors' bankruptcy proceedings, itemizing the dates upon which services were rendered, including a summary of the services on each of such dates by each person rendering the service, the time spent in rendering such service, and the dollar value of such services.
#### **Summary of Services Rendered**
25. Upon being formally instructed, Harneys was asked to provide detailed and strategic advice in relation to the interplay between the these chapter 11 cases and the BVI, notably the extent and basis upon which the Trustee could seek recognition and assistance from the BVI courts, principally in securing assets belonging to the Individual Debtor's estate and related disclosure orders against third parties (including BVI registered agents).
26. For example, Harneys took immediate steps on behalf of the Trustee to lift an existing BVI injunction order obtained by a creditor of the Individual Debtor (namely, Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund L.P. ("PAX")) so as to enable a transfer of his shares in Genever (BVI), an entity registered in the BVI, to the Trustee in accordance with orders issued by this Court. The BVI court granted the order sought, permitting the transfer of the Genever (BVI) shares to the Trustee, and to permit the registered agent of Genever (BVI) to update its Register of Members to reflect related resolutions taken by the Trustee. Harneys assisted the Trustee in arranging for such update to the Register of Members, including a change of registered agent to Harneys Corporate Services Limited and the appointment of a new director for Genever (BVI).
- 27. In addition, at the instruction of the Trustee, Harneys: - took urgent steps to identify the registered agents for various BVI corporate entities believed to be owned and/or controlled by the Individual Debtor; - obtained an order recognizing the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case in the BVI; - obtain disclosure orders from numerous registered agents in the BVI, requiring these registered agents to produce documents in their control pertaining to corporate entities that the Trustee had reason to believe were owned and/or controlled by the Individual Debtor; - obtained (with the consent of PAX) a third-party disclosure order against PAX, permitting PAX to share with the Trustee certain disclosures
previously obtained by PAX in separate BVI litigation against the Individual Debtor and certain of his affiliates;
- obtained an order for PAX to be released from its previous undertaking to the BVI court not to use information obtained for the purpose of any civil or criminal proceedings in any jurisdiction other than New York; and - obtained several seal & gag orders to prohibit the registered agents (from whom discovery was sought) from "tipping off" the Individual Debtor or his associates of any applications for disclosure against the registered agents.<sup>4</sup>
28. In total, Harneys sought and obtain disclosures with respect to a total of twenty-
seven (27) BVI corporate entities. As a result of the disclosure orders, the Trustee was provided with critical information relating to the beneficial and legal ownership of BVI entities believed to be owned and/or controlled by the Individual Debtor. Following the disclosures made by the registered agents, Harneys conducted a review of the disclosed documents to assist the Trustee with the analysis of the ownership and control of the BVI corporate entities.
- 29. In addition, on May 8, 2023, Harneys obtained a further disclosure order against the registered agent for Ace Decade Holdings Limited following an urgent application to ascertain its ownership and a recent change of control. - 30. In connection with the services rendered during the Application Period, Harneys complied with costs orders issued by the BVI Court to third parties for legal and administrative costs. The BVI Court ordered the applicant to pay the reasonable costs incurred by the registered agents for complying with the disclosure orders. In the BVI, an applicant is required to give an undertaking to pay the reasonable costs of the registered agent and to abide by any order as to
<sup>4</sup> Due to the complexities of these chapter 11 cases, the information recovered, and the need for further investigation, Harneys sought and obtained numerous extensions of the seal & gag orders to ensure that the Trustee could continue investigations without the registered agents "tipping off' the Individual Debtor or his associates.
damages caused by the granting or extension of the order, failing which, the disclosure order may not be granted.
31. The work undertaken by Harneys team was substantial, involved numerous applications, drafting of detailed evidence and written and oral advocacy before the BVI court, and the preparation of numerous corporate documents. The disclosures obtained by Harneys were also instrumental for the Trustee to formulate and assert claims against associates of the Individual Debtor. For example, as a result of Harneys' efforts, the Trustee was able to commence an adversary proceeding against Mei Guo, seeking determinations that, among other things, (a) the proceeds, likely in an amount of over \$10 million, 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.
32. Furthermore, during the Application Period, Harneys' provided a series of other services to the Trustee, including the following:
- advising the Trustee as to his rights, powers, and duties as chapter 11 trustee and his ability to seek recognition and assistance in the BVI; - advising the Trustee as to his investigation into the property of the Individual Debtor's estate, including his pursuit of actions to collect and recover property for the benefit of the Individual Debtor's estate, including conducting customary corporate due diligence and searches on various companies associated or thought to be associated with the Trustee; - assisting the Trustee with compliance with BVI company law in relation to the operation and management of the structure and in responding to the BVI court's inquiries; - drafting and preparing written and oral advocacy for numerous hearings related to the disclosure orders sought by Harneys; and - advising the Trustee generally with respect to matter matters of BVI company law, trust law and procedure.
#### **Prior Application**
33. No prior application for the relief requested has been made. However, as noted, 80% of the fees and 100% of the expenses incurred during the Application Period were previously paid in accordance with the Interim Compensation Procedures Order.
#### **Legal Authority for Compensation**
34. All of the professional services for which this award is being sought hereby were rendered solely on behalf of the Trustee and Genever (BVI) in connection with the chapter 11 cases herein.
35. Applicant respectfully submits that its services have benefited the Trustee and Genever (BVI) with the expertise and skill required in the handling of bankruptcy matters. The legal services for which such compensation is requested were performed for and on behalf of the Trustee and Genever (BVI). Such services have been necessary to protect and enforce the rights and interests of the Trustee and Genever (BVI) in connection with these chapter 11 cases. The reasonable value of services rendered by Harneys in these cases is based upon Harneys usual hourly rates for matters of this nature.
36. Section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code prescribes the general standards for determining the amount of compensation to be paid to professionals. The Applicant submits that the amount sought for the Application Period represents reasonable compensation for professional services rendered based upon the time spent, the nature, the extent, and the value of such services, taking into account the cost of comparable services in a non-bankruptcy case.
37. 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).<sup>5</sup>
38. 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 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).
39. 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.*, <sup>6</sup> 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
<sup>5</sup> 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).
<sup>6</sup> 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.
(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.<sup>7</sup> *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*, 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").
40. In accordance with the factors enumerated in section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable case law, the amount requested herein by Harneys is fair and reasonable.
#### **Statutory Compliance**
29. No agreement or understanding exists between Harneys and any other person for the sharing of compensation received or to be received for services rendered in or in connection with this matter. Harneys will not, in any form or guise, share or agree to share compensation for services with any person, nor will Harenys share in the compensation for any other person
<sup>7</sup> 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).
rendering service in these cases, except as so provided by Section 504(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and Rule 2016 of the Bankruptcy Rules.
### **RESERVATION OF RIGHTS**
30. To the extent that time or disbursement charges for services rendered or expenses incurred during the Application Period are not included in this Application, or Harneys has for any reason not sought compensation or reimbursement with respect to such services, Harneys reserves the right to request compensation and reimbursement for such services in a supplemental or future application in these chapter 11 cases. Also, Harneys 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**
31. No previous request for the relief sought herein has been made to this Court or any other court.
# [*THE REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY BLANK.*]
**WHEREFORE**, Harneys respectfully requests entry of an order, substantially in the form attached hereto, (i) allowing interim compensation for professional services rendered during the Application Period in the amount of \$442,428.00 and reimbursement of \$41.729.06 in expenses, (ii) authorizing and directing prompt payment of the unpaid fees in the amount of \$87,729.60 from the estates, (iii) allowing such compensation and payment for professional services rendered without prejudice to Harneys' right to seek further compensation and/or payment from the estates for the full value of services performed and expenses incurred, and (iv) granting Harneys such other and further relief as is just.
