<sup>3</sup> The First Interim Fee Application excluded the expense reimbursements requested in the Expense Reimbursement Application.
- <sup>4</sup> 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). To be clear, Paul Hastings seeks to recover payment of the requested \$83,370.26 only once. - <sup>5</sup> 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. - <sup>6</sup> 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.

<sup>7</sup> 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.
- <sup>8</sup> Reflects \$160,000 credit pursuant to the order granting the Third Interim Fee Application. - <sup>9</sup> Reductions agreed upon with the U.S. Trustee.
<sup>10</sup> 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 twelve (12) timekeepers who billed less than five (5) hours during the Fee Period in the aggregate amount of \$20,287.00; however, such fees were included in the September, October, November, and December fee statements. If this Application is granted, Paul Hastings will credit such amount on its subsequent monthly fee statement.

*Fourth Interim Fee Application of Paul Hastings LLP for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for the Period from September 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023* (the
"Application"). By this Application, Paul Hastings requests allowance and payment<sup>2</sup> of the compensation for professional services performed by Paul Hastings attorneys (including the Trustee<sup>3</sup> ) and reimbursement of its actual and necessary expenses incurred during the period from September 1, 2023 through and including December 31, 2023 (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. For example, to date, the Trustee's investigation has included, among other things, (a) seeking discovery under Bankruptcy Rule 2004 from hundreds of individuals and entities connected with the Individual Debtor and his various businesses, (b) analyzing thousands of
<sup>2</sup> In accordance with the Interim Compensation Procedures Order (as defined below), Paul Hastings previously received payments in the amount of \$1,340,225.60 in fees and \$217,375.78 in expenses with respect to its monthly fee statement for September 2023. Paul Hastings has not yet received payment of its fees and expenses with respect to its monthly fee statements for October, November, and December 2023 (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, Paul Hastings is not seeking, at this time, payment of the 20% holdback with respect to the September, October, November, and December, 2023 fee statements.
<sup>3</sup> 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.
documents produced in response to the Trustee's Rule 2004 subpoenas, (c) deposing several targets of the Trustee's Rule 2004 discovery, (d) interviewing former employees and business associates of the Individual Debtor (including several communications with confidential informants), (e) researching property records, and (f) pursuing litigation to recover property of the estate.
2. In addition, during the Fee Period, as part of the Trustee's continuing efforts to recover assets for the benefit of this estate, the Trustee commenced or continued to prosecute, with the assistance of Paul Hastings, several adversary proceedings. As detailed below, in these adversary proceedings, as a result of the Trustee's and Paul Hastings' efforts during the Fee Period, the Trustee has secured numerous valuable injunctions, judgments, and settlements, as well as obtained access to tens of millions of dollars in escrow funds.
- At the beginning of the Fee Period, the Court granted the Trustee's summary judgment motion in the interpleader action commenced by U.S. Bank N.A. ("US Bank") to resolve a dispute regarding the release of \$33 million in funds (the "Escrow Funds") held by U.S. Bank. In particular, the Court authorized the Trustee to **remove the \$33 million in Escrow Funds from the segregated account and deposit such funds into the estate's general account(s)**. - During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys handled all matters arising out of the appeal of this Court's rulings that HK USA is an *alter ego* of the Individual Debtor and that the \$33 million held in escrow by U.S. Bank are property of the estate. In that appeal, the appellees, *i.e.*, HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC ("HK USA") and Mei Guo (*i.e.*, the Individual Debtor's daughter). Appellate briefing is now complete, and the parties are awaiting a ruling from the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut. - 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 Among other things, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared the Trustee's motion for entry of a **default against certain defendants, which the Court entered on September 29, 2023.** - o The Trustee also successfully opposed the attempt by certain Kwok affiliated entities to intervene in this adversary proceeding, which required extensive preparation for and participation in an evidentiary hearing. - 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, and Taurus Management LLC, seeking 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, LLC (the entity holding title to the Mahwah Mansion), and (c) that Taurus Fund is an *alter ego* of the Individual Debtor. - o Significantly, during the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys sought emergency relief related to preservation of property of the estate at the Mahwah Mansion. These efforts resulted in a joint report regarding a process for creating an inventory of personalty and fixtures in or on the Mahwah Mansion to ensure no further removal of potential property of the Individual Debtor's estate. - o Additionally, during the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys sought emergency relief to restrict access to the storage facility (at which facility some of the personal property and fixtures previously kept at the Mahwah Mansion were located). On December 21, 2023, the Court issued an order which largely granted the requested relief. - During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings continued to prosecute the Trustee's adversary proceeding against Golden Spring (New York) Ltd. ("Golden Spring") and China Golden Spring Group (Hong Kong) Limited ("China Golden Spring" and, together with Golden Spring, the "Golden Spring Entities"), seeking determinations that, among other things, (a) Golden Spring is the *alter ego* of the Individual Debtor and (b) the Individual Debtor is the equitable owner of Golden Spring and/or its assets (notwithstanding China Golden Spring's purported ownership interest in Golden Spring). - During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys, together with the Trustee's local counsel Neubert Pepe & Monteith, P.C. ("NPM"), prepared the Trustee's motion for entry of a default judgment against the Golden Spring Entities, which (i) detailed the merits of Trustee's claims
against the Golden Spring Entities, and (ii) summarized the sufficiency Trustee's service on the Golden Spring Entities, and the Golden Spring Entities failure to respond and subsequent default. **The Court granted the default judgment motion by order dated December 4, 2023.**
- 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 During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared the Trustee's summary judgment motion. Oral argument on the summary judgment motion was held on January 9, 2024, shortly after the end of the Fee Period. - o The Trustee and his counsel's efforts in the Greenwich Land adversary proceeding revealed an extensive web of transfers both into Greenwich Land and out of such entity, which lead the Trustee to recently assert millions of dollars in fraudulent transfers. - During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings continued to assist NPM in prosecuting the Trustee's adversary proceeding against Mei Guo, seeking determinations that, among other things, (a) the 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 During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys assisted NPM in preparing the Trustee's motion for summary judgment in this adversary proceeding, which was filed on December 28, 2023. Oral argument in the Mei Guo adversary proceeding was held on February 5, 2024. - o During the Fee Period, the Trustee commenced an adversary proceeding against Ace Decade Holdings Limited ("Ace Decade"), Yvette Wang, and Rui Hao seeking a declaration that the transfer of the Ace Decade shares 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. - 3. In addition, during the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys assisted the Trustee in
investigating and beginning to prepare a complaint to recover damages suffered by the Individual
Debtor's creditors as a result of an extensive, years' long racketeering conspiracy involving
### Case 22-50073 Doc 2935 Filed 02/19/24 Entered 02/19/24 20:04:06 Page 11 of 779
multiple fraudulent schemes facilitated by various associates of the Individual Debtor in violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act of 1970 ("RICO").
4. Furthermore, during the Fee Period, the damage caused by the fire that occurred 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. Of particular note, during the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys continued to prosecute Genever (US)'s motion to remediate the area of the Sherry Netherland Apartment affected by the March 15, 2023 fire (including preparing a supplement to the remediation motion, filed with the Court on September 8, 2023). The Court granted the remediation motion by order dated September 19, 2023 [Docket No. 2213]. Following the approval of the remediation motion, Paul Hastings attorneys worked with Genever (US) architect (Dave Acheson) to develop a remediation strategy, including as it relates to asbestos abatement and the permitting process.
5. During the Fee Period, the Trustee was also able to successfully sell the Lady May II, generating net proceeds to the estate in an amount of over \$370,000.
6. 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 fifteen hearings and status conferences, preparing and prosecuting numerous substantive motions and preparing monthly operating reports.
7. While the Trustee has made substantial headway in these chapter 11 cases, progress continues to be slowed by the unprecedented level of obstructionism and interference, both inside and outside the courtroom, from the Individual Debtor and his associates at every turn. For example, on August 30, 2023, the Individual Debtor filed a motion (joined by Yvette Wang) in the Criminal Case seeking to stay these chapter 11 cases, pending resolution of his
### Case 22-50073 Doc 2935 Filed 02/19/24 Entered 02/19/24 20:04:06 Page 12 of 779
criminal trial. In response, Paul Hastings prepared the Trustee's emergency motion, filed on September 1, 2023 [Docket No. 2160], seeking to enjoin the Individual Debtor's stay motion on the basis that such motion violated the automatic stay in these chapter 11 cases. The Trustee and the Genever Debtors also filed a response in the Criminal Case, objecting to the imposition of a stay of these chapter 11 cases. The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York denied the Stay Motion by order, dated December 21, 2023. In addition, the Individual Debtor and his affiliates have continued their campaign to delay or not comply with the Trustee's Rule 2004 investigation. For example, the Trustee had to engage in substantial motion practice to compel the production of documents by G Club Operations LLC ("G Club Operations").
8. While substantially all of the relief requested by the Trustee has been granted (and that requested by the Individual Debtor and his associated individuals and entities has been substantially denied), the Trustee necessarily expended substantial time and resources on these matters. Although it is extremely difficult to determine with precision the cost of addressing these issues, the Trustee continues to believe that a substantial portion of the fees generated during the Fee Period were the result of the Individual Debtor's or his affiliates' continuing noncompliance with the Bankruptcy Code and/or active opposition or interference with the Trustee's administration of these chapter 11 cases.
9. 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 of Paul Hastings' services by utilizing talented junior attorneys and paraprofessionals to handle
## Case 22-50073 Doc 2935 Filed 02/19/24 Entered 02/19/24 20:04:06 Page 13 of 779
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).
10. 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.
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 (12) timekeepers who billed less than five (5) hours during the Fee Period in the aggregate amount of \$20,287.00. 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
## Case 22-50073 Doc 2935 Filed 02/19/24 Entered 02/19/24 20:04:06 Page 14 of 779
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.

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.

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 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.<sup>5</sup> 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

22. At this time, the amount of cash in the Trustee's account is approximately \$72 million.<sup>6</sup> 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**

28. On November 3, 2022, the SDNY Bankruptcy Court entered an order [Docket No. 225 in Case No. 22-50592] transferring the venue of the SDNY Bankruptcy Case to this Court, which assigned it Case Number 22-50592.

## **RELIEF REQUESTED**
31. By this Application, the Trustee and Paul Hastings request allowance of fees (in the amount of \$6,911,034.50) and expenses incurred (in the amount of \$718,236.31) for services rendered by, for, and on behalf of the Trustee during the Fee Period.<sup>7</sup> The Trustee has approved the amounts requested by Paul Hastings herein.
32. While this Application seeks allowance of all fees incurred during the Fee Period, Paul Hastings does **not** seek, at this time, payment of the 20% holdback withheld by the Debtors' estates with respect to Fee Period. Moreover, as noted, Paul Hastings has not yet been paid with respect to its monthly fee statement for the months of October, November, and December 2023.
<sup>7</sup> 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 (12) timekeepers who billed less than five (5) hours during the Fee Period in the aggregate amount of \$20,287.00. 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.
For the avoidance of doubt, 80% of the fees for the months of October, November, and
December 2023 and all expenses for such months may be paid in accordance with the Interim
Compensation Procedures Order.
# **COMPENSATION AND VALUE OF SERVICES**
33. To date, the Trustee and Paul Hastings have submitted the following fee/expense-
related applications in these chapter 11 cases:
- (a) On March 1, 2023, Paul Hastings submitted the *First Interim Application of Chapter 11 Trustee and his Counsel, Paul Hastings LLP, for Reimbursement of Expenses for the Period from July 8, 2022 through October 31, 2022* [Docket No. 1495] (the "Expense Reimbursement Application"), whereby the Trustee and Paul Hastings requested reimbursement of the actual and necessary expenses incurred by the Trustee and Paul Hastings during the period from July 8, 2022 through October 31, 2022 in the amount of \$63,631.75. On May 3, 2023, the Court entered an order granting the Expense Reimbursement Application [Docket No. 1747] (the "Expense Reimbursement Order"). The Individual Debtor's estate paid the foregoing amount on May 8, 2023. - (b) On April 10, 2023, Paul Hastings submitted the *Special Fee Application of Chapter 11 Trustee and his Counsel, Paul Hastings LLP, for Services Rendered in Securing Compliance with Court-Authorized Subpoenas* [Docket No. 1648] (the "Special Fee Application"). In the Special Fee Application, Paul Hastings requested allowance and payment of fees in the amount of \$83,370.26 in accordance with the HK Parties Contempt Order.<sup>8</sup> On April 21, 2023, the Court approved the Special Fee Application and ordered the HK Parties to remit payment of \$83,370.26 to the chapter 11 estate of the Individual Debtor [Docket No. 1693] (the "HK Parties Sanctions Order"). As of the filing of this Application, the HK Parties have not remitted payment. - (c) On May 30, 2023, Paul Hastings submitted the *Interim Fee Application of Paul Hastings LLP for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for the Period from July 8, 2022 through February 28, 2023* [Docket No. 1831] (the "First Interim Fee Application") seeking \$12,326,802.00 in fees and \$348,813.54 for reimbursement of expenses. The First Interim Fee Application excluded the expense reimbursements approved in the Expense Reimbursement Order. The
<sup>8</sup> On March 10, 2023, the Court entered the *Order Holding HK Parties in Contempt of Court and Sanctioning HK Parties, Attorney Vartan and Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi PC* [Docket No. 1537] (the "HK Parties Contempt Order"), pursuant to which the Court ordered Ms. Mei Guo, HK USA, attorney Lee Vartan, and Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi PC (collectively, the "HK Parties"), jointly and severally, to compensate the Trustee and his counsel, Paul Hastings, for reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses associated with the Trustee's efforts to secure compliance with certain Court-authorized subpoenas.
First Interim Fee Application included the amount requested in the Special Fee Application (for the period through February 28, 2023). However, to the extent the Trustee is able to recover the fees under the HK Parties Sanctions Order from the HK Parties, Paul Hastings will not seek payment of such fees from these estates.<sup>9</sup> Pursuant to agreement with the U.S. Trustee, Paul Hastings reduced its fee request by \$550,000. On June 29, 2023, the Court approved the First Interim Fee Application [Docket No. 1964] with such reduction. Paul Hastings has received payment of \$11,776,802.00 in fees and \$348,813.54 in expenses in connection with the First Interim Fee Application.
- (d) On August 4, 2023, Paul Hastings submitted the *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* [Docket No. 2051] (the "Second Interim Fee Application") seeking \$8,037,720.00 in fees and \$213,914.83 for reimbursement of expenses. The Second Interim Fee Application included the amount requested in the Special Fee Application (for the period from March 1, 2023 through March 10, 2023). However, to the extent the Trustee is able to recover the fees under the HK Parties Sanctions Order from the HK Parties, Paul Hastings will not seek payment of such fees from these estates. Pursuant to agreement with the U.S. Trustee, Paul Hastings reduced its fee request by \$55,000.00. On September 12, 2023, the Court approved the Second Interim Fee Application [Docket No. 2190] with such reduction. Paul Hastings has received payment of \$6,386,176.00 in fees (or 80% of the allowed fees in the amount of \$7,982,720) and \$213,914.83 in expenses in connection with the Second Interim Fee Application. - (e) On October 16, 2023, Paul Hastings submitted the *Third Interim Fee Application of Paul Hastings LLP for Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for the Period from July 1, 2023 through August 31, 2023* [Docket No. 2256] (the "Third Interim Fee Application") seeking \$3,725,984.25 in fees and \$146,137.57 for reimbursement of expenses. Pursuant to agreement with the U.S. Trustee, Paul Hastings reduced its fee request by \$200,000.00. On November 30, 2023, the Court entered an order approving the Third Interim Fee Application [Docket No. 2408] (the "Third Interim Fee Order") with such reduction. Paul Hastings has received payment of \$2,820,787.40<sup>10</sup> in fees (or 80% of the allowed fees in the
<sup>9</sup> At this time, the HK Parties have not paid the amounts due under the HK Parties Sanctions Order (even though such amounts were due on May 5, 2023). Indeed, the HK Parties have (unsuccessfully) sought reconsideration of the HK Parties Sanctions Order [Docket Nos. 1730 and 1733] and, thereafter, appealed both the HK Parties Sanctions Order and the order denying reconsideration [Docket No. 1750], as well as sought a stay pending appeal [Docket No. 1770]. That request for a stay was denied by order dated May 15, 2023 [Docket No. 1791]. That said, the Trustee agreed not to seek to enforce the Sanctions Order pending the District Court's decision on the appeal.
<sup>10</sup> Pursuant to the Interim Compensation Procedures Order, Paul Hastings had previously received \$2,980,787.40 in payments for fees incurred in July and August 2023. Accordingly, as part of its September 2023 monthly fee statement, Paul Hastings included a credit of \$160,000.00 (*i.e.*, 80% of the agreed-upon \$200,000.00 reduction).
amount of \$3,525,984.25) and \$146,137.57 in expenses in connection with the Third Interim Fee Application.
- (f) Pursuant to the Interim Compensation Procedures Order, Paul Hastings submitted monthly fee statements for services rendered during the Fee Period. *See* Docket Nos. 2419, 2543, 2875, and 2932. Paul Hastings requested - i. for September 2023 services, fees in the amount of \$1,389,825.60 (*i.e.*, 80% of \$1,937,282.00 in fees incurred less a credit of \$160,000.00<sup>11</sup>) and \$217,375.78 in expenses, - ii. for October 2023 services, fees in the amount of \$1,321,503.20 (*i.e.*, 80% of \$1,651,879.00 in fees incurred) and \$105,699.65 in expenses, - iii. for November 2023 services, fees in the amount of \$1,465,377.00 (*i.e.*, 80% of \$1,831,721.25 in fees incurred) and \$85,540.86 in expenses, and - iv. for December 2023 services, fees in the amount of \$1,257,951.40 (*i.e.*, 80% of \$1,572,439.25 in fees incurred) and \$309,620.02 in expenses.
Paul Hastings has received payment in the amount of \$1,340,225.60<sup>12</sup> and \$217,375.78 with respect to its September 2023 services and expenses, respectively. As noted, Paul Hastings has not yet received payment with respect to its October, November, and December 2023 services.
34. Except as set forth above, neither the Trustee nor Paul Hastings has received any
payment or promise of payment from any source for services rendered during the Fee Period.
There is no agreement or understanding between the Trustee and/or Paul Hastings and any other
person other than the attorneys, employees, and staff of Paul Hastings, for the sharing of
compensation to be received for services rendered in these chapter 11 cases.
35. Paul Hastings' professional services during the Fee Period required an aggregate
expenditure of 5,637.40 recorded hours by attorneys and paraprofessionals, broken down as
<sup>11</sup> As detailed in the Third Interim Fee Order, Paul Hastings included a credit in the amount of \$160,000.00 in its September monthly fee statement, which amount reflects the difference between (a) the fees previously paid to Paul Hastings pursuant the Interim Compensation Procedures Order for services rendered during the months of July and August 2023 (*i.e.*, \$2,980,787.40) and (b) the fees that the estates are authorized to pay pursuant to paragraph 3 of the Third Interim Fee Order (*i.e.*, \$2,820,787.40).
<sup>12</sup> Paul Hastings agreed with the US Trustee to reduce its September fees by \$62,000. The payment of \$1,340,225.60 reflects the agreed-upon reduction of 80% of \$62,000 (or \$49,600).

follows: partners (808.10 hours), of counsel (1,027.60 hours), associates (3,304.00 hours), and paraprofessionals (497.70 hours). The timekeepers who rendered such services are identified in the Cover Sheet hereto, along with the number of hours and the total compensation sought for each individual.
36. Paul Hastings maintains computerized records, in the form of monthly statements, of the time spent by all Paul Hastings' attorneys and paraprofessionals in connection with its representation of the Trustee and the Genever Debtors. With the exception of the monthly statements submitted with the Special Fee Application,<sup>13</sup> the monthly statements are in the same form regularly used by Paul Hastings to bill its clients for services rendered and include the date that the services were rendered, a detailed, contemporaneous narrative description of the services provided, the amount of time spent for each service, and the designation of the professional who performed the service. Attached hereto as Exhibit F are true and correct copies of the monthly statements of Paul Hastings related to the fees requested herein.
37. As a courtesy to these estates and based on circumstances unique to these chapter 11 cases, Paul Hastings agreed on a reduced hourly rate for Luc Despins (from his standard hourly rate of \$2,035 to the reduced hourly rate of \$1,975.00) for the Fee Period.<sup>14</sup> Other than this discount, 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. In addition, when Paul Hastings' restructuring professionals and
<sup>13</sup> As noted in the Special Fee Application, Paul Hastings' monthly statements for fees incurred in securing compliance with the Court-authorized subpoenas are limited to those services and, thus, vary in form from that regularly used by Paul Hastings to bill its clients for services rendered.
<sup>14</sup> This translates into a voluntary waiver of \$18,471.00 in fees for the Fee Period.

paraprofessionals work on non-bankruptcy matters, the firm generally charges their standard rate. Such fees are reasonable based on the customary compensation charged by comparably skilled practitioners in comparable non-bankruptcy cases in a competitive national legal market.
38. Paul Hastings respectfully submits that the reasonable value of the services rendered by Paul Hastings (including the Trustee) during the Fee Period is \$6,911,034.50.

# Case 22-50073 Doc 2935 Filed 02/19/24 Entered 02/19/24 20:04:06 Page 30 of 779
of the Bankruptcy Code 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 January 18, 2024).

59. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys continued to handle the Trustee's extensive investigation to identify potential assets of the Individual Debtor's estate. Given the corporate maze of shell companies set up by the Individual Debtor, including hundreds of companies purportedly owned by his close family members, business associates, and employees, this investigation has necessarily been extensive and time intensive.
60. As part of this investigation, Paul Hastings attorneys (a) analyzed documents produced in response to Rule 2004 subpoenas,<sup>19</sup> (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 forensic accountant (Kroll) to advance the Trustee's investigation into potential estate claims, and (e) analyzed potential claims against the Individual Debtor and his affiliated entities.

<sup>19</sup> 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.
# Case 22-50073 Doc 2935 Filed 02/19/24 Entered 02/19/24 20:04:06 Page 31 of 779
and deposed Defeng Cao, one the targets of the Trustee's investigation.<sup>20</sup> During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys also negotiated a settlement with the Casper Firm, LLC for the return of \$48,750 from a retainer, which settlement was approved by the Court on November 7, 2023 [Docket No. 2310].
61. 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 the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth supplemental motions filed on October 10, 2023 [Docket No. 2249], November 2, 2023 [Docket No. 2304], November 6, 2023 [Docket No. 2308],<sup>21</sup> and December 14, 2023 [Docket No. 2434], respectively, as well as a reply brief filed on November 22, 2023 [Docket No. 2369] in response to the objections filed by G Club Operations [Docket Nos. 2320 and 2331] to the eighth and ninth supplemental Rule 2004 motion. The Court overruled these objections and granted the eighth and ninth supplemental Rule 2004 motion by orders dated November 29, 2023 [Docket Nos. 2393 and 2394]. The Court also granted the seventh and tenth supplemental Rule 2004 motions [Docket Nos. 2281 and 2474]. 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.<sup>22</sup>
<sup>20</sup> The Trustee ultimately commenced and adversary proceeding against Mr. Cao [Adv. Proc. No. 24-05001] seeking to recover certain motorcycles and vehicles that are equitably owned by the Individual Debtor.
<sup>21</sup> 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.
<sup>22</sup> 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 2935 Filed 02/19/24 Entered 02/19/24 20:04:06 Page 32 of 779
62. 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.
63. 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.
64. 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 significant motion practice to compel compliance (which compliance, to this day, remains forthcoming in many instances).
#### **III. Other Litigation (Matter ID 00003)**
i. General Litigation (Task Code B191) Fees: \$418,143.50 Total Hours: 299.60
65. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys assisted the Trustee on various litigation-related matters (other than the adversary proceedings pending in these chapter 11
## Case 22-50073 Doc 2935 Filed 02/19/24 Entered 02/19/24 20:04:06 Page 33 of 779
cases), including 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 "Criminal Case"). Among other things, Paul Hastings monitored these criminal proceedings and reviewed pleadings filed in these proceedings.
66. Moreover, on August 30, 2023, the Individual Debtor filed a motion (joined by Yvette Wang) in the Criminal Case seeking to stay these chapter 11 cases, pending outcome of his criminal trial (the "Stay Motion"). In response, Paul Hastings prepared the Trustee's emergency motion, filed on September 1, 2023 [Docket No. 2160], seeking to enjoin the Individual Debtor's stay motion on the basis that such motion violated the automatic stay in these chapter 11 cases.<sup>23</sup> Paul Hastings also prepared the Trustee's and the Genever Debtors' objection to the Stay Motion, which was filed in the Criminal Case on September 21, 2023. The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York denied the Stay Motion by order, dated December 21, 2023.
67. Furthermore, on December 6, 2023, counsel purportedly representing 3,345 customers of the Himalaya Exchange filed a motion (the "Himalaya Exchange Motion") in the Criminal Case seeking the return of property seized by the United States in connection with the Criminal Case. Paul Hastings attorneys prepared and filed the Trustee's response to the Himalaya Exchange Motion, opposing the relief sought on the basis that the seized funds allegedly belonging to customers of the Himalaya Exchange may, in fact, be property of the chapter 11 estate.
<sup>23</sup> By order dated September 12, 2023 [Docket No. 2195], the Court denied the Trustee's related motion to expedite his emergency motion, noting that a hearing, if any, on the emergency motion would be scheduled after the district court presiding over the Criminal Case has acted on the Individual Debtor's stay motion.
68. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys also prepared and filed numerous notices to apprise this Court and parties in interest of the developments in the Criminal Case.
# **IV. Sale Process (Matter ID 00005)**

69. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys and the Trustee, in close

May II, including negotiation of the purchase agreement, preparing the sale motion, and,
following the Court's approval of the sale, preparing for the closing of the sale (which occurred
on December 19, 2023).
# **V. Tax Matters (Matter ID 00006)**

71. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys continued to analyze numerous issues related to the sale process for the Sherry Netherland Apartment. While the sale process was necessarily put on hold following the March 15, 2023 fire in order to assess the damage to the Sherry Netherland Apartment and evaluate the sale strategy going forward, Paul Hastings continued to analyze certain legal issues pertaining to an eventual sale of the apartment, including exploring a sale of the furniture located at the Sherry Netherland Apartment.

72.

iii. Business Operations (Task Code B210) Fees: \$80,538.00 Total Hours: 60.20
73. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys analyzed various operational matters with respect to Genever (US), including, most notably, as it relates to the remediation project for the Sherry Netherland Apartment. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys also prepared Genever (US)'s motion to remediate the area of the Sherry Netherland Apartment affected by the March 15, 2023 fire (including preparing a supplement to the remediation motion, filed with the Court on September 8, 2023). 24 The Court granted the remediation motion by order dated September 19, 2023 [Docket No. 2213].
74. Following the approval of the remediation motion, Paul Hastings attorneys worked with Genever (US) architect (Dave Acheson) to develop a remediation strategy, including as it relates to asbestos abatement and the permitting process. Throughout the remediation process, Paul Hastings also closely coordinated with Dave Acheson regarding the selection of a general contractor to handle the remediation of the Sherry Netherland Apartment.
<sup>24</sup> In the remediation motion, Genever (US) requested entry of an order (a) approving Genever (US)'s entry into, and performance under, into an agreement with Acheson Doyle, as architect, (b) authorizing Genever (US) to select and hire contractors, engineers, consultants, and other third-party service providers in the ordinary course of the remediation project (including as it relates to the removal of asbestos), as may be necessary to remediate the area affected by the fire, subject to certain procedures detailed in the motion, and (c) pay such contractors, engineers, consultants, and other third-party service providers in the ordinary course of the remediation project (including as it relates to the removal of asbestos).

# **VII. Mahwah Adversary (Matter ID 00012)**
i. Court Hearings (Task Code B155) Fees: \$27,087.50 Total Hours: 19.70
75. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys attended numerous hearings
related to the Mahwah Adversary Proceeding (as defined below), including:
- the October 17, 2023 pre-trial conference; - the October 24, 2023 status conference; - the December 19, 2023 status conference on the Trustee's motion to preserve evidence at the Mahwah Mansion. - ii. General Litigation (Task Code B191) Fees: \$929,197.00 Total Hours: 765.20 - 76. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys continued to prosecute the
Trustee's complaint against Scott Barnett (the Individual Debtor's driver and/or bodyguard), Taurus Fund, LLC, and Taurus Management LLC (the "Defendants") [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05017] (the "Mahwah Adversary Proceeding"). In the Mahwah Adversary Proceeding, the Trustee seeks determinations that, among other things, (a) the Debtor is the equitable owner of the 50,000 square foot Mahwah Mansion, (b) the Debtor is the equitable owner of Taurus Fund, LLC (the entity holding title to Mahwah Mansion), and (c) that Taurus Fund, LLC is an *alter ego* of the Individual Debtor.
77. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared several filings in the Mahwah Adversary Proceeding. Significantly, the Trustee became aware that the certain property connected to the Individual Debtor's Mahwah Mansion, and potentially connected to the Defendants, seemed to have disappeared from the Mahwah Mansion, in violation of the
### Case 22-50073 Doc 2935 Filed 02/19/24 Entered 02/19/24 20:04:06 Page 37 of 779
automatic stay. To address this issue, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared a detailed emergency motion for a status conference to discuss preservation of property of the estate, which conference was held on October 24, 2023, after which the Trustee and the Defendants prepared a joint report regarding a process for creating an inventory of personalty and fixtures in or on the Mahwah Mansion to ensure no further removal of potential property of the Individual Debtor's estate.
78. Additionally, during the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys handled discovery in the Mahwah Adversary Proceeding, including preparing initial disclosures in connection with the Mahwah Adversary Proceeding, corresponding with opposing counsel regarding a discovery schedule, and, on October 25, 2023, filing with the Court a proposed pre-trial order proposing a schedule with regard to fact discovery, expert reports and depositions, and setting deadlines for summary judgment and a trial.
79. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys also handled all aspects of discovery with respect to the Mahwah Adversary Proceeding, including preparing subpoenas and discovery requests of the Defendants, as well as dozens of third parties with whom the Individual Debtor and his associates, including the Defendants, conducted business with or otherwise interacted with in connection with the Mahwah Mansion. Such parties included the party who sold the mansion to the Individual Debtor, real estate brokers, attorneys, and other parties that assisted in connection with the sale, designers and construction firms who worked on the Mahwah Mansion after the Individual Debtor purchased it, and antique and furniture vendors who sold the Individual Debtor property for the mansion.
80. Paul Hastings attorneys corresponded and held discussions facilitating these parties' production, as well as reviewed the documents eventually produced. Paul Hastings attorneys also prepared for several depositions of third parties connected to the Mahwah
### Case 22-50073 Doc 2935 Filed 02/19/24 Entered 02/19/24 20:04:06 Page 38 of 779
Mansion who the Trustee understood would provide testimony tying the Individual Debtor to the Mahwah Mansion. All the while, Paul Hastings handled additional matters related to the discovery, including preparing responses to the Defendants' document requests, interrogatories, and requests for admission.
81. Additionally, during the Fee Period, the Trustee became aware of evidence relating to the Mahwah Adversary Proceeding, including the existence of a storage facility (the "Storage Facility") that the Trustee believed may contain evidence related to the Mahwah Mansion and/or potential property of the estate. To address the issue, on December 18, 2023, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared an emergency motion for the preservation of evidence requesting an order restricting access to the Storage Facility and ordering that the Defendants not modify, remove, empty, dispose of transfer, destroy, or in any way impair any contents at the Storage Facility. After various conferences and a hearing relating to the motion were held, on December 21, 2023, the Court issued an order (consented to in part) [Docket No. 93 in Adv. Proc. No. 23-05017] which largely granted the motion and restricted access to the Storage Facility to certain parties, including the Trustee and Paul Hastings attorneys, who later conducted an inventory of the contents of the Storage Facility.
82. As discovery continued in the Mahwah Adversary Proceeding, it became clear to the Trustee that—due to the sheer number of third parties who had conducted business or otherwise interacted with the Individual Debtor and his associates in connection with the Mahwah Mansion—additional time was needed for fact discovery and depositions. Therefore, on December 28, 2023, the Trustee filed a consent motion to modify the pretrial order and extend certain deadlines in the Mahwah Adversary Proceeding, including the fact discovery deadline.
# iii. Non-Working Travel (Task Code B195) [billed at ½ rate] Fees: \$5,720.75 Total Hours: 9.40

84. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys continued to prosecute the Trustee's complaint against Golden Spring and China Golden Spring (the "Golden Spring Entities") [Adv. Proc.

has always been the beneficial owner of the Bombardier and he retained such beneficial ownership throughout all of the foregoing transfers up through the Bombardier's sale in October 2022, since which time, the Debtor has always been the beneficial owner of the Bombardier Proceeds; and (b) the Individual Debtor is the beneficial owner of Whitecroft, the entity that held title to the Bombardier at the time of its sale.
#### **XI. HK USA Adversary (Matter ID 00017)**

"Greenwich Land Adversary Proceeding"). In the Greenwich Land Adversary Proceeding, the Trustee seeks determinations that, among other things, (a) Greenwich Land is an *alter ego* of the Individual Debtor and (b) the Individual Debtor is the equitable owner of Greenwich Land. Paul Hastings' efforts thus far have resulted in critical prejudgment remedies and injunctive relief to protect the assets of Greenwich Land, including the Individual Debtor's mansion on Taconic Road in Greenwich, Connecticut, pending the outcome of the Greenwich Land Adversary Proceeding, for the benefit of the estate.
102. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared several filings in the Greenwich Land Adversary Proceeding, including, most notably, the Trustee's summary judgment motion and reply in support thereof [Docket Nos. 77 and 111 in Adv. Proc. No. 23- 05005], as well as related documents, such as the statement of material facts in support of the summary judgment motion [Docket No. 79 in Adv. Proc. No. 23-05005]. Oral argument on the summary judgment motion was held on January 9, 2024, shortly after the end of the Fee Period. Among other things, the Trustee submits that summary judgment is appropriate here because the defendants have no knowledge of the management or operations of Greenwich Land, nor do they have any basis to dispute the substantial evidence that the Debtor is, and always has been, the one who truly owns and controls Greenwich Land.
103. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings also continued to handle all matters related to discovery in the Greenwich Land Adversary Proceeding, including deposing Hing Chi Ngok on September 11, 2023, Margaret Conboy (counsel to Greenwich Land) on September 12, 2023, and Mei Guo on September 13, 2023.

## **XIII. Lamp Capital Adversary (Matter ID 00024)**
i. General Litigation (Task Code B191) Fees: \$111,702.50 Total Hours: 105.00
105. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared and filed the Trustee's complaint against Lamp Capital LLC and certain other defendants [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05023] (the "Lamp Capital Adversary Proceeding"). In the Lamp Capital Adversary Proceeding, the Trustee seeks determinations that, among other things, Lamp Capital LLC ("Lamp Capital"), Hudson Diamond NY LLC ("Hudson Diamond NY"), and Leading Shine NY Ltd. ("Leading Shine NY" and, together with Lamp Capital and Hudson Diamond NY, the "Alter Ego Defendants") are the Individual Debtor's *alter egos* and that the Individual Debtor equitably owns the Alter Ego Defendants and their assets.

107. Furthermore, during the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys, together with the Trustee's local counsel NPM, prepared and filed the Trustee's motion for entry of a default judgment against Defendants Lamp Capital and Infinity Treasury Management, Inc. The Court granted the motion by order dated February 1, 2024 [Docket No. 63 in Adv. Proc. 23-05023].
#### **XIV. Civil RICO Claims (Matter ID 00025)**
i. Investigations (Task Code B261) Fees: \$183,388.50 Total Hours: 145.20
108. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys assisted the Trustee in investigating and preparing a complaint to recover damages suffered by the Individual Debtor's creditors as a result of an extensive, years' long racketeering conspiracy involving multiple fraudulent schemes facilitated by various associates of the Individual Debtor in violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act of 1970 ("RICO").
109. As detailed in the complaint (which was filed on February 15, 2024) [Docket No. 1 in Adv. Proc. 24-05273], since at least 2015, the Debtor and various of his associates have operated a racketeering enterprise through an extensive worldwide network of shell companies with the goal of enriching the Individual Debtor, his family members, and his close associates, while concealing the true nature and extent of the Individual Debtor's wealth from his creditors and preventing them from being repaid. As a result, the Individual Debtor and those close to him have enjoyed all the trappings and luxury of a billionaire's lifestyle—from private jets, to luxury super yachts, to \$10,000 suits, to multiple palatial residences, and much, much more—while the Individual Debtor's creditors, who over the years have amassed hundreds of millions of dollars in claims against him, have been left with nothing.
110. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys investigated potential RICO claims, prepared related memoranda of law, and analyzed various related legal issues (including the application of statutes of limitation and standing to assert RICO claims).
### **XV. Ace Decade Adversary Proceeding (Matter ID 00026)**
i. General Litigation (Task Code B191) Fees: \$30,017.50 Total Hours: 18.60
111. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared and filed the Trustee's complaint against Ace Decade, Yvette Wang, and Rui Hao seeking a declaration that the transfer of the Ace Decade shares 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.
### **REASONABLENESS OF COMPENSATION**
112. 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>28</sup>
113. 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
<sup>28</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).
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).
114. 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>29</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 (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>30</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*,
<sup>29</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.
<sup>30</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).
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").
115. 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 \$6,911,034.50 and 5,637.40 hours, respectively, 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 and there frequently are two hearings per week.
# e. **Customary Fee**
Other than the hourly rate for Luc A. Despins, 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. 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.
# 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
## Case 22-50073 Doc 2935 Filed 02/19/24 Entered 02/19/24 20:04:06 Page 54 of 779
retention as counsel effective as of October 11, 2022, and (c) Genever (US) since its retention as counsel effective as of November 3, 2022.
116. 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.
117. 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].
118. 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**
119. As set forth in Exhibit C hereto, Paul Hastings incurred and disbursed \$718,236.31 as expenses in providing professional services during the Fee Period. These expenses include approximately \$38,443.86 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, 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.<sup>31</sup>
- 120. Additional necessary expenses included: - \$580,379.93 for certain outside professional services, such as document review services by UnitedLex (\$561,761.91) and translation services by Divergent Language Solutions (\$11,353.50); - \$49,720.24 for court reporting services; - \$15,092.20 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; - \$14,248.52 for document reproductions, namely \$10,905.12 for b/w reproductions (at 8 cents per page) and \$3,343.40 for color reproductions (at 20 cents per page); - \$5,002.76 for UPS/courier service, including service of pleadings required to be served in hard copy format; and - \$278.95 for corporate document retrieval services (including United Corporate Service and Corp2000) with respect to various Kwok-related entities.
121. 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.
122. Using their own contract attorneys and review team managers, UnitedLex
provides an efficient and economic means of reviewing large document sets at hourly rates
significantly lower than Paul Hastings. UnitedLex's document review team charges hourly rates
<sup>31</sup> Documentation of these expenses will be made available to the Court upon request.
## Case 22-50073 Doc 2935 Filed 02/19/24 Entered 02/19/24 20:04:06 Page 56 of 779
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 \$200 to \$400. 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 attorneys services.
123. 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 2935 Filed 02/19/24 Entered 02/19/24 20:04:06 Page 57 of 779
124. 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.<sup>32</sup>
125. 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.
126. 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.
127. 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**
128. 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<br>standard or customary billing rates, fees, or terms for services<br>pertaining to this engagement that were provided during the<br>Fee Period? | |-----------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Response: | Yes.<br>As a courtesy to these estates and based on<br>circumstances unique to these chapter<br>11 cases, during the Fee<br>Period, Paul Hastings agreed to voluntary fee reductions<br>aggregating \$38,758.00, including the following: |
<sup>32</sup> 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)<br>Paul Hastings is not seeking allowance or payment at<br>this time of the fees incurred by (12)<br>timekeepers who<br>billed less than five (5)<br>hours during the Fee Period.<br>The total amount of such fees is \$20,287.00. The time<br>billed by these timekeepers was reasonable, and Paul<br>Hastings reserves the right to seek allowance of these<br>fees based on the facts and circumstances of these<br>cases, including, without limitation, if objections are<br>interposed to the allowance of Paul Hastings'<br>fees and<br>expenses. | | | | |-----------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--|--|--| | | (ii)<br>As a result of the agreed-upon reduction in Luc A.<br>Despins'<br>hourly rate (from his standard hourly rate of<br>\$2,035.00<br>to the reduced hourly rate of \$1,975.00), an<br>additional \$18,471.00<br>in fees have been waived. | | | | | Question: | If the fees sought in this application as compared to the fees<br>budgeted for the Fee Period are higher by<br>10% or more, did<br>you discuss the reasons for the variation with the client. | | | | | Response: | Not applicable. | | | | | Question: | Have any of the professionals included in this application<br>varied their hourly rate based on the geographic location of the<br>bankruptcy case? | | | | | Response: | No. | | | | | Question: | Does the application include time or fees related to reviewing<br>or revising time records or preparing, reviewing, or revising<br>invoices? (This is limited to work involved in preparing and<br>editing billing records that would not be compensable outside<br>of bankruptcy and does not include reasonable fees for<br>preparing a fee application.) If so, please quantify by hours<br>and fees. | | | | | Response: | The Application does not include time for preparing,<br>reviewing, or revising time records. However, the Application<br>does include approximately 14.5<br>hours and associated fees of<br>approximately \$23,646.50<br>related to preparing, reviewing, and<br>revising Paul Hastings'<br>fee statements and ensuring time<br>entries are properly categorized by matter number and task<br>code. On average, less than three hours were spent on each of<br>the five monthly fee statements prepared during the Fee<br>Period. | | | |
| Question: | Does this application include time or fees for reviewing time<br>records to redact any privileged or other confidential<br>information? If so, please quantify by hours and fees. | |-----------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Response: | No. | | Question: | If the application includes any rate increases since retention:<br>(i)<br>Did your client review and approve those rate increases in<br>advance? (ii)<br>Did your client agree when retaining the law<br>firm to accept all future rates increases? If not, did you inform<br>your client that they need not agree to modified rates or terms<br>in order to have you continue the representation consistent<br>with ABA Formal Ethics Opinion<br>11-458? | | Response: | As is customary, Paul Hastings adjusts its hourly rates<br>periodically based upon (i)<br>the advancing seniority of its<br>professionals and paraprofessionals, (ii)<br>the current market for<br>legal services, (iii)<br>the rates charged for comparable non‐<br>bankruptcy services, and (iv)<br>the firm's analysis of the hourly<br>rates being charged by professionals in other law firms.<br>Effective January<br>1, 2023 and September<br>1, 2023, Paul<br>Hastings adjusted its hourly rates consistent with the Retention<br>Order [Docket No. 668] and the Notices of Change in Hourly<br>Rates of Paul Hastings LLP, Counsel to Chapter<br>11 Trustee<br>[Docket Nos. 1251 and<br>2075]. |
# **RESERVATION OF RIGHTS**
129. 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, 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**
130. No previous request for the relief sought herein has been made to this Court or any other court.
# Case 22-50073 Doc 2935 Filed 02/19/24 Entered 02/19/24 20:04:06 Page 60 of 779

# **EXHIBIT A**
# **Customary and Comparable Compensation Disclosures**
The blended hourly rate for Paul Hastings' timekeepers in its New York office who billed to non-bankruptcy matters (collectively, the "Non-Bankruptcy Matters") 1 during the twelve-month period beginning on January 1, 2023 and ending on December 31, 2023 was, in the aggregate, approximately \$1,191 per hour. The blended hourly rate for Paul Hastings' timekeepers who billed to the Debtor's chapter 11 cases during the Fee Period was approximately \$1,226 per hour. A detailed comparison of these rates follows:
| Category of Timekeeper | Blended Hourly Rate | | | | |----------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|--------------------------------|--|--| | | Non-Bankruptcy Matters<br>Blended Hourly Rate | Debtor Blended Hourly<br>Rate2 | | | | Partner | \$1,575 | \$1,783 | | | | Counsel | \$1,404 | \$1,664 | | | | Associate | \$980 | \$1,076 | | | | Paraprofessionals | \$496 | \$538 | | | | All Timekeepers Aggregated | \$1,191 | \$1,226 | | |
<sup>1</sup> 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.
<sup>2</sup> Luc A. Despins brings to the Title III Cases over 35 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, Avi Luft, Douglass Barron, and Shlomo Maza 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.

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.
