In support of this Request, the Trustee respectfully states the following:

Although the Trustee has regularly apprised the Court as to relevant developments in these Chapter 11 Cases, his last global update at a status conference was in 2024.

The Trustee respectfully requests that the status conference be held in person.

1 The Debtors in these chapter 11 cases are Ho Wan Kwok (also known as Guo Wengui, Miles Guo, and Miles Kwok, as well as numerous other aliases) (last four digits of tax identification number: 9595), Genever Holdings LLC (last four digits of tax identification number: 8202) and Genever Holdings Corporation. The mailing address for the Trustee, Genever Holdings LLC, and the Genever Holdings Corporation is Paul Hastings LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166 c/o Luc A. Despins, as Trustee for the Estate of Ho Wan Kwok (solely for purposes of notices and communications).

2 Another matter has been scheduled in these Chapter 11 Cases at that time. [ECF No. 4302.]

WHEREFORE, the Court should grant this Request by entering the proposed order appended hereto and grant such other and further relief as is just and proper.
