23. On November 13, 2024, the Court granted the Fourth Interim Fee Application.
ALLOWANCE REQUEST

24. 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.

25. For the Application Period, the Applicant seeks allowance of \$836,530.00 as compensation for services rendered as BVI and Cayman counsel and allowance and reimbursement of \$18,054.71 in expenses incurred in connection with such services.

26. The Applicant devoted 894 hours to this case during the Application Period, equating to an overall blended rate of \$922.10.

27. Harneys did not submit any monthly fee statements during the Application Period, and, accordingly, by this Application, Harneys is requesting allowance and payment of the full amount of fees and expenses incurred during the Application Period.

28. 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.

29. 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

30. During the Application Period, Harneys continued to provide legal services as BVI counsel to the Trustee, including advice for bankruptcy, litigation, investigations, real estate, tax, and other matters.

31. As detailed in Harneys' Prior Interim Fee Applications, upon being formally instructed, Harneys took immediate steps on behalf of the Trustee to obtain various disclosure orders from the BVI court related to BVI registered agents as part of the Trustee's efforts to investigate the Debtors' financial affairs, including his ownership of assets through family, friends, and affiliates. These disclosure orders have established that the Debtor's affiliates have violated the Bankruptcy Code's automatic stay and have transferred the ownership of companies owned by the Debtor to keep the companies outside of the Trustee's control. During the Application Period, Harneys continued to provide legal services as BVI counsel to the Trustee, including advice for bankruptcy, litigation, investigations, real estate, tax, and other matters.

32. Harneys provided general advice to the Trustee on complex matters with regards to establishing ownership of two Debtor-related entities (namely Ace Decade Holdings Limited (Ace Decade) and Dawn State Limited (Dawn State)). Harneys advised on complex matters with regards to establishing ownership of Ace Decade, inter alia, steps to assist with the recovery of the Ace Decade share, including commencing substantive proceedings under Part XIX of the BVI Insolvency Act, 2003, and undertook extensive research to advise on the

enforceability of judgments, the rectification of register of members, and the restoration of the BVI companies purportedly owned by the Debtor.

33. Harneys also advised the Trustee with respect to the appointment of joint liquidators Alvarez & Marsal in the BVI liquidation proceedings for Ace Decade and Dawn State, the impact of such BVI liquidations on these chapter 11 cases, and drafted submissions in the BVI liquidations with respect to the joint liquidators' jurisdiction and powers in relation to the share register for these BVI entities. Harneys also made submissions at the hearing of the joint liquidators' directions application on December 18, 2024.

34. Harneys also provided general advice to the Trustee on several other complex matters related to the Trustee's efforts to recover property of the estate, including the recovery of a luxury apartment in London nominally held by a BVI company purportedly owned by the Debtor's son. On September 30, 2024, Harneys assisted the Trustee with bringing substantive proceedings to recover assets of the estate (including preparing substantive evidence, claim documents, strategy notes and legal arguments). Harneys will continue to act for the Trustee in these proceedings, which have been listed for trial in November 2025. Further, Harneys advised the Trustee in detail with respect to private international law issues concerning the enforcement of U.S. judgments in the BVI.
NO PRIOR APPLICATION

35. No prior application for the relief requested has been made. And, as noted, Harneys has not received any payment of the fees incurred during the Application Period.
LEGAL AUTHORITY FOR COMPENSATION

36. 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.

37. The 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.

38. 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.

39. 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).3

3 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

40. 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).

41. 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., 4 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

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).

4 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.

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.5 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").

42. 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

43. 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 Harneys share in the compensation for any other person rendering service in these cases, except as so provided by Section 504(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and Rule 2016 of the Bankruptcy Rules.

5 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).
RESERVATION OF RIGHTS

44. 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. Additionally, 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

45. No previous request for the relief sought herein has been made to this Court or any other court.

[Remainder of page intentionally left blank.]

WHEREFORE, Harneys respectfully requests entry of an order, substantially in the form attached hereto, (i) allowing interim compensation, and authorizing and directing prompt payment, for professional services rendered during the Application Period in the amount of \$836,530.00 and reimbursement of \$18,054.71 in expenses, (ii) 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 (iii) granting Harneys such other and further relief as is just.
