or frustrate a potential judgment in this case in his various attempts to put the apartment out of our reach, and there have been many of those.

The following slide, this has support our evidence for why we meet the the cases that I legal standard on intent. I thought it would be useful for you to have this handy, but I'm not going to waste time on it.

This has our evidence, and the evidencl that we will prove today. This is the evidence that Le featured in our briefing, and we'll prove it. I won't go through it now, but I thought it would be helpful to have it issue by issue, in addition to witness b~ witness. I will go through it witness by witnesk.

For the second, the cases say inequity, malfeasance or wrongdoing as to our client is enough. To be clear, your Honor, we are going to prove fraud today. My point is that it's not required for us to do that. This is the veil piercing evidence, same veil piercing evidence we talked about in our brief. It's the veil piercing evidence that we are going to prove up today, and now I'm going to tell you about the fbur witnesses, briefly, and what they are going to tlstifY to today. Ms. Wang will be the first. Ms. Wang is Her testimLny will I demonstrate that in an effort to avoid the attachment, . I Mr. Kwok has gone so far as to suborn perJury. Ms. Want submitted an affidavit. It is Mr. Kwok's princi1al evidence opposing our prior attachment motion. ~hat's . I what he relied on, and she swore to facts about which she had absolutely no knowledge. Zero knowledge. We'll prove that today. Ms. Wang, will also confirm that Mr. Kwok was not telling the truth about two key issues. Number one, his pledges of the apartment, and remember I ' encumbrance is part of the standard under the CPLR. I Number two, the efforts to sell. I'm sure Mr. Harmon is I

NYSCEF DOC. NO. 331 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 05/08/2019

going to say what could be more public in the w~ole .world; right? You put this expensive apartment rn the market. Well, if he did, then why is he denying the fact that he received an offer in counter?

5 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Next up is Mr. Ullman. Mr. Ullman is the' Sherry-Netherland Executive vice President and cia' He will testify that during the approval process, M~. Kwok showed the Sherry-Netherland no assets in the u.l. and no assets in his own name. That's never happene6 at the 11' .f h' . I hotel. Mr. U man w~ll also test~ y t at us~ng rwo LLC's, a foreign LLC on top of a'New York LLC, tr buy an apartment in that building, which is exactly whar Mr. Kwok said he did, has never happened before it the hotel either, and because of this, Mr. Ullman wiQl explain that the. Sherry-Netherland put in unprecldented safeguards, like the biggest security deposit evlr, because they were very concerned, based on the structure, that if Mr. Kwok defaulted on his monthly obligations, they would have to chase him across the globe, and he was showing no assets.

21 22 23 24 25 We respectfully submit that we are similarly situated. We are going to get a judgment here, lnd we need similar safeguards attached for the same relsons. I Mr. Ullman will also testify that Mr. Kwok tried to assign, transfer, the apartment to a trLst in I

his son's name. Mr. Kwok denies having any memory of I that. Secrecy and asset transfer is something that helps us meet the standard. Since Mr. Kwok denibs it, we have Mr. Ullman here to talk about it, and thlre's documentary evidence.

6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Finally, Mr. Ullman will also testify about misrepresentations that Mr. Kwok and his represehtatives made to the Sherry-Netherland about the pledges. They represented to you that the apartment was pledgea. They had a big problem, because that breached their lbase . I agreement with the Sherry-Netherland, so when the Sherry-Netherland saw their papers and said, Heyl you pledged the apartment they said, No, no. We nevlr told , h b ' d,l Just~ce Ostrager t at. You must e m~srea ~ng our papers. False. We'll prove it.

We depised him 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 there two weeks ago. He reviewed the financial information that Mr. Kwok provided to the Sherry-Netherland to induce the hotel to approve his application, and Mr. Horvitz relied on that financial information in recommending the board approval. That information included financials of two companies Mr. Kwok said he owned.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 As you will see, your Honor, we showed Mr. Horvitz Mr. Kwok's deposition testimony, just the publicly available excerpts, where Mr. Kwok denibd having any ownership interests in those entities that he told the Sherry-Netherland he owned. His testimony directly contradicted what he told the Sherry-Netherland, and as the person to whom the misrepresentations were made, Mr. Horvitz will tell you h k h b . . I t at Mr. Kwo must ave een m~srepresent~ng to someone. He either lied at his deposition, or he defraude~ the Sherry-Netherland. There is no third option. Ahd Mr. Horvitz, your Honor, not I, actually used thl word defrauded.

14 15 Finally, Mr. Kwok dominates we'll have Mr. Kwok. We'll show that and controls the Genever entihies. 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 We'll show that he made repeated and significant misrepresentations to the Court in an effort to defeat the attachment motion; we'll show that he made mlterial misrepresentations to the Sherry-Netherland to ihduce it I to allow him to purchase; and we'll show that the money for the apartment may well have come from the shill company that is responsible for paying the debt ~o our client, that Mr. Kwok unconditionally guaranteedl It certainly didn't come from Genever, which was thi supposed purchaser. Importantly, your Honor, we are

NYSCEF DOC. NO. 331 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 05/08/2019

going to demonstrate that Mr. Kwok will not and cannot pay a judgment in this case without an attachmenl. 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Now, we have teed up a few short clips for the opening, about seven minutes in total, of testimony that I would like to play from Mr. Kwok's deposition, which we.'re entitled to do under CPLR 3117 (a) (2): "The deposition testimony of a party may be used for lny purpose by any party who was adversely interestek when h 0 '" Tho 0 0 t l t e test~mony was g~ven. ~s ~s ~mportant tes ~mony, . your Honor, with an important purpose: Mr. Kwok will be here later -- he is here now -- and he will be on his best behavior in the public courtroom, but that' slnot what happened at the deposition. Your Honor, Mrl Kwok was evasive, he made a mockery of the proCeedingl and we I prepared the video, and we are entitled to show it so that the Court can see what we are really dealin~ with here.

18 19 20 21 22 23 New York caselaw makes clear that evasiveness and misrepresenta~ions throughout Court proceedibgs is a I factor the court can consider, and after seeing this, I think the Court will agree that it's hard to ima~ine I stronger, more direct and significant evidence of evasiveness.

24 25 Mr. Kwok has filed 17 or so lawsuits since he's been in this country. He knows exactly how the

about that, and here is what happened when I asked him simple questions on those topics.

4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 MR. MOSS: Your Honor, we talked brief[y, in our briefs -- excuse me, we talked extensively ib our briefs about counsel's instructions. to Mr. Kwok fO not answer questions at the deposition that were plaQnly relevant. The standard is whether he intends to frustrate the judgment. I asked him, will you pay if Court orders a judgment, and they instructed him not to answer that question. There was no agreement to not answer questions like that. It was completely inappropriate. It's terrible for them. They fought me to not play it for you today, so I'm not going tl play it, to avoid the fight, but I think you do need bo see that there were many times during the deposition where Mr. Kwok just refused to answer on his own without, even, an instruction, inappropriate or not.

We have presented to you~ Honor the transcripts; their designated readings, our bross , I, designations, for completeness, and I would ask fhat your Honor, after the hearing today, read those [or the 9 full context. I think one of the prime examples is the last clip that you saw, where they say that Mr. Kwok put his fingers in his ears and refused to talk aboub it, to answer the question, but if you read the whole akswer what he is saying is, I challenge it toauthentibity. This is not real. Tell me. Show me that this ib my , , I voice. I don't believe it. Don't play me somebody I else's voice. So that's really all that I have to say 17 about that.

18 I have read with care, I believe, your Honor's 19 20 21 admonitions, expressions of what evidence you want to hear at hearing. This the third time that we arl before your Honor on the attachment motion, and I hope !hat the the evidence that they have 1n. t h'e1r two mot10ns; . t,.at 1 at today, we are going to ~ear some point, at some time already submitted to you today's presentation by plaintiffs will not just ,be a regurgitation of all of 22 24 23 25

NYSCEF DOC. NO. 331 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 05/08/2019

answers to the questions that you have raised abrut Mr. Kwok's intent in purchasing the apartment, and efforts to sell the apartment, why that's happening, and why that's no longer happening.

The plaintiff's asked us if we would agree to accept a subpoena from Mr. Kwok to be here. today, and we said that isn't necessary. We will have Mr Kwok here ans 'wer alny , and Mr. Kwok will appear voluntarily and questions you have from the witness stand that wl don't object to and which you don't sustain, and you cln hear I from Mr. Kwok exactly why he bought the apartment and what he has done with the apartment, and your Hohor, if the plaintiffs don't ask Mr. Kwok those questionb, I will.

15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Mr. Kwok is not an American Citizen. Mr. Kwok did not grow up in the United States. Mr. Kwok krew up in China, in Hong Kong. He is here seeking aSYlhm from the Chinese Government. He has been the SUbject[ he and his family, his extended family in China, have blen the subject of extensive efforts by the Chinese commtnist , '1 h I Government to )a1 t em, abuse them, challenge them, because the communist government does not like wlat Mr. Kwok has to say about corruption and freedom in China.

25 We have a language barrier here. Mr. Kwok

does not read English, and one the exhibits that has been submitted to you on consent is the contract of sale to purchase the apartment in the Sherry-Netherland. I . It's in English. It's not signed by Mr. Kwok, because I . he can't read English. He doesn't understand, or didn't . I understand, coming to this country, the concept of cooperative ownership, and his understanding of ownership is based upon his years and years business developer in China. That's how he the concept of family and ownership. of bjing a understands

11 You can ask him a question of the 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 understanding of what u.S. -- what Americans think about ownership, and you can translate that to him and you can get his answer back, and it will be in English, and you've got a great sound bite, but what I would iSk your . I Honor to do is to recognize, when Mr. Kwok testifies, that there is not just a language issue, but thele is also a cultural issue here that needs to be undelstood in the context of what Mr. Kwok has said, and whit he has done.

21 22 23 24 25 We didn't bring discovery issues to yom before the hearing, and I don't believe this is the pro~er time to raise discovery issues.

It's obviously in front of the Court. We can pause on the pledge for one issue, because I think that's going to come up a lot tohay. The pledges, 6201(3) talks about encumbering an lsset I with an intent to frustrate a judgment. The casjs say that a pledge is an encumbrance. They put this issue in front of you.

7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 There is a discrepancy between documenis that they obtained from DC and documents we obtained from B.V.I, that had a discrepancy at one po;nt, • wherle our document was dated close in time to theirs, and It's said that the pledge hadn't been released. Theils did. We argued at the time that the B.V.I was the applopriate one. We have pulled that from, you know, outSidl help. We didn't pull it ourselves.

15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 At this point in time, though, there are no pledges, and we are all in agreement on that, anh so I I want to be clear that there is a discrepancy as fO some of the documents, and the timing of the pledge, but the pledge has been lifted for months at this point, so again, I'm just cbnfused as to why we are continuing to go into this, because if the argument is the encumbrance, pursuant to the CPLR, there is no encumbrance.

Second, as I said, my third language is 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 English, so if you listen to my speaking, maybe just, like, I speak not bad English, but when you have me read all of this, like, very legal or official documents, and I could not understand them, like, very quickly, I have to look jt my dictionary and try to figure out what they are talkiJ9.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Honor, that plaintiffs have just recently amendea their complaint. The issue has not been joined on the amended complaint. We have not yet begun to conduct discovery on the merits of the claim. Everything has been directed to the question of the attachment, and so I'm I assuming, and I raised this at the last oral argument, I that once this issue was to be set aside as to whether I or not there will be an attachment, or whether the current order of the Court provides more than adkquate protection to the plaintiff, whether or not they have met the attachment standards, that we will get on and start conducting discovery on the merits, and thlt what we have been doing so far is litigating whether ~r not plaintiffs have established entitlement to attachment, but nothing more than that.

MR. MOSS: Yes, your Honor. THE COURT: -- how are you better off if an attachment is issued, which is purely discretionary?

MR. MOSS: Better off than with the nOfice order in place? Your Honor, better off between fhe attachment or the notice order? Is that the question? THE COURT: Yes.

9 10 11 MR.

to that effect. Now, assuming that order is entered before the sun goes down today, why do you need an attachment, assuming all of the following: Mr. Kwok denies rhe existence of the debt owed to the plaintiff -- and this is assuming, without deciding any of these thingls.

MR. MOSS: Of course, your Honor.
