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 July 2023 and August 2023 fee statements.

3 The First Interim Fee Application excluded the expense reimbursements requested in the Expense Reimbursement Application.

4 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.

5 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.

# **MONTHLY FEE REQUESTS FOR THIRD INTERIM FEE PERIOD6**

6 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.

7 As detailed below, 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 twenty one (21) timekeepers who billed less than five (5) hours during the Fee Period in the aggregate amount of \$37,232.00; however, such fees were included in the July and August fee statements filed and served on September 7, 2023 and September 20, 2023, respectively.

# **THIRD INTERIM FEE APPLICATION OF PAUL HASTINGS LLP FOR COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES FOR PERIOD FROM JULY 1, 2023 THROUGH AUGUST 31, 2023**

Pursuant to sections 105(a), 328, 330, and 331 of title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"), Rule 2016 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the "Bankruptcy Rules"), Rule 2016-1 of the Local Rules of Bankruptcy Practice and Procedure of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut (the "Local Rules"), and the *Order Establishing Procedures for Interim Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for Retained Professionals* [Docket No. 2094] (the "Interim Compensation Procedures Order"), Paul Hastings LLP ("Paul Hastings"), as counsel to (a) Luc A. Despins, in his capacity as the chapter 11 trustee (the "Trustee") appointed in the chapter 11 case of Ho Wan Kwok (the "Individual Debtor"), (b) Genever Holdings Corporation ("Genever (BVI)"), and (c) Genever Holdings LLC ("Genever (US)" and, together with Genever (BVI), the "Genever Debtors"), hereby files this *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* (the "Application"). By this Application, Paul Hastings requests allowance and payment2 of the compensation for professional services performed by Paul Hastings attorneys (including the Trustee3) and reimbursement of its actual and necessary expenses incurred during the period from July 1, 2023 through and including August 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 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

3 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.

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.

- During the Fee Period, the Trustee continued to prosecute 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. - o Shortly after the end of the Fee Period, the Court granted the Trustee's summary judgment motion and 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), **sought a stay pending appeal, which the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut (the "District Court") denied**. - During the Fee Period, the Trustee, Genever (BVI), and Genever (US) reached a settlement with Bravo Luck LLC ("Bravo Luck") and the Debtors' son, Mr. Qiang Guo with respect to the adversary proceeding challenging Bravo Luck's asserted beneficial interest in the 18th floor apartment at the Sherry Netherland Hotel (the "Sherry Netherland Apartment"). As a result of the settlement, the Trustee, Genever (US) and Genever (BVI) obtained the primary relief they sought in the Bravo Luck Adversary Proceedings—namely, **undisputed beneficial**

# **ownership and control of the Sherry Netherland Apartment**. **The settlement was approved by this Court on August 30, 2023.**

- During the Fee Period, the Trustee continued to prosecute his 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 The Trustee obtained Court approval of a settlement agreement (the "Assignee Settlement") between the Trustee and the Assignee pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019. The Assignee Settlement provides for important benefits to the estate, including the **deposit of over \$38 million of the HCHK Entities' funds into accounts controlled by the Trustee and the Assignee's commitment to not oppose the relief sought by the Trustee in the HCHK Litigation**. - o The Trustee also prepared his motion for entry of a **default judgment against certain defendants, which the Court granted on September 29, 2023.** - On July 11, 2023, the Trustee commenced an 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 Among other things, the Trustee obtained a **preliminary injunction to protect the Mahwah Mansion.** (The mansion was, and to the Trustee's knowledge, remains uninsured.) - o The Trustee reached a **settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice** (the "Government") to resolve certain potentially complex issues raised by the interplay of this adversary proceeding and the Government's ongoing criminal case against the Debtor currently being heard before the United States District Court for the

Southern District of New York [Case No. 23 Cr. 118 (AT)] (the "Criminal Case"). Among other things, the settlement will ensure that any proceeds from an eventual sale of the Mahwah Mansion by the Trustee (if the Trustee prevails in this adversary proceeding) are used first to pay the estate's expenses (including reasonable legal fees related to this adversary proceeding) in connection with taking control of and selling the Mahwah Mansion.

- On July 25, 2023, the Trustee commenced an adversary proceeding against Golden Spring (New York) Ltd. ("Golden Spring") and China Golden Spring Group (Hong Kong) Limited ("China Golden Spring"), 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). - o Golden Spring failed to respond to the complaint, and, on September 12, 2023, the Trustee requested entry of a default judgment as against Golden Spring. **The Court entered a default judgment against Golden Spring by order dated September 20, 2023**. 4 - During the Fee Period, the Trustee continued to prosecute his 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 Following discovery in this adversary proceeding (including document discovery and depositions), the Trustee moved, on October 10, 2023, for summary judgment. - During the Fee Period, the Trustee also continued to prosecute his adversary proceeding against Mei Guo, seeking determinations that, among other things, (a) the proceeds, likely in an amount of over \$10 million, from the sale of the Individual Debtor's private Bombardier jet are property of the estate and (b) a series of BVI registered shell companies purportedly held by Mei Guo are property of the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 estate.

4 On October 11, 2023, the Trustee also requested entry of a default judgment against China Golden Spring, which also failed to respond to the complaint. As of the filing of this Application, the Court has not yet ruled on that request.

3. Furthermore, during the Fee Period, the damage caused by the fire that occurred on March 15, 2023 at the Sherry Netherland Apartment continued to require the Trustee's and Paul Hastings' attention. Of particular note, during the Fee Period, Genever (US) filed its motion to (a) retain an architect, (b) authorize 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), 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). The Court granted the motion on September 19, 2023.

4. Concurrently with the remediation motion, the Trustee and the Genever Debtors also sought approval of interdebtor DIP financing to be provided by the Individual Debtor's estate to the Genever Debtors. As detailed in the DIP financing motion, the Genever Debtors have no cash and no source of income, and, without access to some source of liquidity, the Genever Debtors would not be able to make essential remediation repairs to the Sherry Netherland Apartment, pay current professional fees—including the costs of pursuing the AIG litigation—or even pay the statutory amounts to the U.S. Trustee, and would be forced to convert to a chapter 7 liquidation. For these reasons, the Trustee determined that the estate of the Individual Debtor would provide up to \$2,000,000 of critically necessary funding to the Genever Debtors so that they can fund their chapter 11 cases, including value-maximizing strategy for the sale of the Sherry Netherland Apartment. On September 12, 2023, the Court granted the motion.

5. 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 five hearings

and status conferences during the Fee Period, preparing and prosecuting numerous substantive motions and preparing monthly operating reports.

6. 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. This is most obvious in the Trustee's Rule 2004 investigation, where the Individual Debtor and his affiliates have continued their campaign to delay or not comply with discovery requests. And, most recently, 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 criminal trial.5 Other discovery targets related to the Individual Debtor also failed to comply with the Trustee's Rule 2004 subpoenas, necessitating substantial motion practice, including with respect to G-Club Operations LLC ("G-Club Operations") and Hudson Diamond NY LLC and Hudson Diamond Holding LLC (together with Hudson Diamond NY LLC, the "Hudson Entities").

7. While the Court granted substantially all of the relief requested by the Trustee (and denied substantially all of the relief requested by the Individual Debtor and his associates), the Trustee necessarily expended substantial time and resources on these matters, including because the Individual Debtor and his associates actively opposed the relief sought by the Trustee. Although it is extremely difficult to determine with precision the cost of the Individual Debtor's tactics, 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 non-

5 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.

compliance with the Bankruptcy Code and/or active opposition or interference with the Trustee's administration of these chapter 11 cases.

8. 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 the more routine aspects of the assignments. Moreover, as detailed below, Paul Hastings has delegated numerous work streams to local Connecticut counsel (which has a lower rate structure than Paul Hastings).

9. 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 (the "PAX Litigation"). 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.

10. 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 twenty one (21) timekeepers who billed less than five (5) hours during the Fee Period in the aggregate amount of \$37,232.00. 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.

11. 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.

### **JURISDICTION, VENUE, BASES FOR RELIEF, AND COMPLIANCE**

12. The Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334 and the *Standing Order of Reference* from the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut (as amended).

# **BACKGROUND**

# **I. Individual Debtor's Chapter 11 Case**

16. On February 15, 2022 (the "Petition Date"), the Individual Debtor filed with the

Court a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

6 Paul Hastings reserves all rights as to the relevance and substantive legal effect of the U.S. Trustee Guidelines with respect to any application for compensation in these chapter 11 cases.

17. On March 21, 2022, the United States Trustee appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors ("Committee") in the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case. No examiner has been appointed in the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case.

18. 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. Pursuant to the Trustee Order, the United States Trustee selected Luc A. Despins as the Trustee. On July 8, 2022, the Court entered an order granting the appointment of Luc A. Despins as the Trustee in the chapter 11 case of Ho Wan Kwok.

19. The Court authorized Paul Hastings' retention as attorneys for the Trustee pursuant to the *Order Authorizing and Approving the Retention and Employment of Paul Hastings LLP as Counsel to Chapter 11 Trustee, effective as of July 8, 2022* [Docket No. 668] (together with the retention order with respect to the Genever Debtors [Docket No. 1376], the "Retention Order"), entered on August 2, 2022. The Retention Order authorizes Paul Hastings to be compensated on an hourly basis and reimbursed for actual and necessary out-ofpocket 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.7 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.

7 *See* Aug. 1, 2022 H'rg Tr. at 113:15-19 ("MR. DESPINS: But I want to be clear is that that's not going to be a back door way to bring local rates, or anything like that -- THE COURT: No, I'm not doing that. I agree with that.")

20. 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 Trustee, and all monthly operating reports have been filed through August 2023 (for the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case), July 2023 (for Genver (BVI)'s chapter 11 case), and June 2023 (for Genever (US)'s chapter 11 case).

21. At this time, the amount of cash in the Trustee's account is approximately \$75 million.8 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**

22. On October 11, 2022, Genever (BVI)—an entity wholly owned by the Individual Debtor—filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with this Court.

23. No trustee or official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in Genever (BVI)'s chapter 11 case.

24. October 14, 2022, the Court entered an order granting joint administration of the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case and Genever (BVI)'s chapter 11 case [Docket No. 970].

25. On January 24, 2023, the Court granted Genever (BVI)'s application to retain Paul Hastings as counsel to Genever (BVI) in its chapter 11 case, effective as of its petition date, *i.e.*, October 11, 2022 [Docket No. 1376].

8 This amount includes approximately \$38.8 million in funds received and held by the Trustee pursuant to the settlement with the Assignee in the HCHK Adversary Proceeding (as defined below).

### **III. Genever (US)'s Chapter 11 Case**

26. On October 12, 2020, Genever Holdings LLC—an entity wholly owned by Genever (BVI)—filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "SDNY Bankruptcy Court"), thereby commencing case number 20-12411 (JLG) (the "SDNY Bankruptcy Case").

27. 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.

28. On November 21, 2022, the Court entered an order granting joint administration of the Genever (US) Debtor's chapter 11 case with the jointly administered cases of the Individual Debtor and the Genever (BVI) Debtor's chapter 11 case [Docket No. 1141].

29. On January 24, 2023, the Court granted Genever (US)'s application to retain Paul Hastings as counsel to Genever (US) in its chapter 11 case, effective as of the order transferring venue of the SDNY Bankruptcy Case to this Court, *i.e.*, November 3, 2022 [Docket No. 1376].

# **RELIEF REQUESTED**

30. By this Application, the Trustee and Paul Hastings request allowance of fees (in the amount of \$2,980,787.40) and expenses incurred (in the amount of \$146,137.57) for services rendered by, for, and on behalf of the Trustee during the Fee Period.9 The Trustee has approved the amounts requested by Paul Hastings herein.

9 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 twenty one (21) timekeepers who billed less than five (5) hours during the Fee Period in the aggregate amount of \$37,232.00. 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.

31. 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 been paid with

respect to its monthly fee statement for the month of August 2023 (and does not seek payment of

such fees at this time). That said, and for the avoidance of doubt, 80% of the fees for the month

of August and all such expenses may be paid, at a future date, in accordance with the Interim

Compensation Procedures Order.

### **COMPENSATION AND VALUE OF SERVICES**

32. 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.10 On April 21, 2023, the Court approved

10 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.

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 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.11 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

11 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.

in the amount of \$7,982,720) and \$213,914.83 in expenses in connection with the Second Interim Fee Application.

(e) In September 2023, pursuant to the Interim Compensation Procedures Order, Paul Hastings submitted monthly fee statements for services rendered during the Fee Period. *See* Docket Nos. 2180 and 2228 for July 2023 services and Docket Nos. 2218 and 2228 for August 2023 services. Paul Hastings requested (i) for July 2023 services, fees in the amount of \$1,389,424.80 (*i.e.*, 80% of \$1,736,781.00 in fees incurred) and \$116,812.50 in expenses and (ii) for August 2023 services, fees in the amount of \$1,621,148.20 (*i.e.*, 80% of \$2,026,435.25 in fees incurred) and \$29,325.07 in expenses. Paul Hastings has received payment in the amount of \$1,389,424.80 with respect to its July 2023 services. As noted, Paul Hastings has not received payment with respect to its August 2023 services.

33. 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.

34. Paul Hastings' professional services during the Fee Period required an aggregate expenditure of 3,031.60 recorded hours by attorneys and paraprofessionals, broken down as follows: partners (499.40 hours), of counsel (584.80 hours), associates (1,670.20 hours), and paraprofessionals (277.20 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.

35. 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,12 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.

36. As a courtesy to these estates and based on circumstances unique to these chapter 11 cases, Paul Hastings did not implement the August 1, 2023 firm-wide hourly rate increase in these chapter 11 cases and, instead, maintained the existing rates for the Fee Period. 13 In addition, Paul Hastings agreed on a reduced hourly rate for Luc Despins (from his standard hourly rate of \$1,975 to the reduced hourly rate of \$1,860) for the Fee Period.14 Other than these hourly rate discounts, 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 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.

37. Paul Hastings respectfully submits that the reasonable value of the services rendered by Paul Hastings (including the Trustee) during the Fee Period is \$3,725,984.25.

12 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.

13 This translates into a voluntary waiver of \$62,236.50 in fees.

14 This translates into a voluntary waiver of \$25,351.75 in fees.

### **SUMMARY OF SERVICES**

38. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings assisted and advised the Trustee and the Genever Debtors on a regular basis regarding legal matters relating to these chapter 11 cases and the pursuit and recovery of estate assets for the benefit of the chapter 11 estates and their creditors. In addition, Paul Hastings prepared various motions, applications, proposed orders, and other pleadings submitted to the Court for consideration, and performed the necessary professional services that are described below and in the fee statements attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.15

39. For ease of reference and transparency purposes, and at the request of the U.S.

Trustee, Paul Hastings created the following separate Matter IDs for services in these chapter 11 cases, including separate Matter IDs for the major adversary proceedings pending in these chapter 11 cases.16

40. Additionally, the Trustee and the Genever Debtors retained Neubert Pepe &

Monteith, P.C. ("NPM") as their local and conflicts counsel in order to provide services to the

Trustee and the Genever Debtor's estates in a cost-effective manner. In particular, as detailed in

the NPM retention application and related declarations, 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. Among other things, during the

Fee Period, the following matters were delegated to NPM:

- Assisting with filings and service of pleadings in the main chapter 11 case and related adversary proceedings; - Preparing supplemental motions for discovery under Bankruptcy Rule 2004 (including for discovery targets for which Paul Hastings is conflicted), conducting meet and confers with discovery targets, and reviewing documents produced in response to Rule 2004 subpoenas; - Assisting the Trustee on matters on which Paul Hastings is conflicted; - Preparing certain procedural motions, including motion to seal, motions to expedite, and motions to adjourn; - Advising the Trustee and the Genever Debtors on matters related to local Connecticut rules; - Preparing monthly operating reports for the Genever Debtors; and - Performing a variety of case administration functions, including interacting with the Court and the clerks' office as needed, preparing

certificates of service, coordinating logistics for hearings, and handling other case administration functions as they arise from time to time.

41. In addition, Paul Hastings has recently also delegated a number of important

### Case 22-50073cr-Doc 2256 Filed 10/16/23 Entered 10/16/23 22:05:06 Page 26 of

agendas) for the hearings scheduled on July 11, 2023, July 18, 2023, August 15, 2023, August 22, 2023, and August 29, 2023 was recorded under Matter ID 00001.

45. During the Fee Period, in connection with Paul Hastings' retention, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared a supplemental declaration with respect to the Trustee's and Paul Hastings' disinterestedness [Docket No. 2204] and conducted related research to identify possible connections between the Trustee and Paul Hastings, on the one hand, and parties in interest in these chapter 11 cases, on the other hand. In addition, Paul Hastings attorneys assisted NPM in preparing (a) the *Motion of Chapter 11 Trustee and Genever Debtors for Order Establishing Procedures for Interim Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for Retained Professionals* [Docket No. 2002] (which the Court granted on August 18, 2023 [Docket No. 2094]), (b) the Second Interim Fee Application [Docket No. 2051] (which the Court granted on September 12, 2023 [Docket No. 2190]), (c) Paul Hastings' monthly fee statements for services rendered in March, April, May, June, and July 2023, and (d) portions of this Application.

### Case 22-50073cr-Doc 2256 Filed 10/16/23 Entered 10/16/23 22:05:06 Page 27 of

Trustee as forensic accountant [Docket No. 2162] (which application was granted by order, dated September 29, 2023 [Docket No. 2241]). Paul Hastings attorneys also assisted various other estate professionals in connection with their retention applications, including the application to retain Bohonnon Law Firm, LLC, as special maritime counsel in connection with the sale(s) of the Lady May and Lady May II [Docket No. 2025] (which application was granted by order, dated August 18, 2023 [Docket Nos. 2095]).

47.

F. Business Operations (Task Code B210) Fees: \$16,946.00 Total Hours: 12.70

48. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys assisted the Trustee with various matters related to the operation of these chapter 11 estates, including handling wire transfers and obtaining an updated trustee bond.

G. Financial Reports (Monthly Operating Reports) (Task Code B211) Fees: \$9,267.00 Total Hours: 8.00

49. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared the monthly operating reports in the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 case. In the interest of minimizing costs, the monthly operating reports for the Genever Debtors were prepared by NPM, and any time spent by Paul Hastings attorneys reviewing and commenting such reports was recorded under Matter ID 00010 (for Genever (US)) and 00011 (for Genever (BVI)).

### H. Financing/Cash Collections (Task Code B230) Fees: \$225,833.00 Total Hours: 174.00

50. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared the Trustee and the Genever Debtors' motion seeking approval of interdebtor DIP financing to be provided by the Individual Debtor's estate to the Genever Debtors [Docket No. 2110], including the related DIP financing agreement. As detailed in the DIP financing motion, the Genever Debtors are in a precarious position in their chapter 11 cases. The current condition of the Sherry Netherland Apartment is such that it is uncertain if, and when, Genever (US) will be able to rent or sell the property. And while Genever (US) believes it will prevail in its litigation against AIG regarding the insurance coverage with respect to the Sherry Netherland Apartment, the outcome of that litigation is also uncertain. At the same time, the Genever Debtors have no cash and no source of income. Without access to some source of liquidity, the Genever Debtors would not be able to make essential remediation repairs to the Sherry Netherland Apartment, pay current professional fees—including the costs of pursuing the AIG litigation—or even pay the statutory amounts to the U.S. Trustee, and would be forced to convert to a chapter 7 liquidation. For these reasons, the Trustee determined that the estate of the Individual Debtor would provide up to \$2,000,000 of critically necessary funding to the Genever Debtors so that they can fund their chapter 11 cases while they pursue a chapter 11 process—including pursuing the AIG litigation and a valuemaximizing strategy for the sale of the Sherry Netherland Apartment.

51. Before filing the DIP financing motion, the Trustee and Paul Hastings engaged in discussions with the Sherry Netherland and the U.S. Trustee and resolved their concerns with respect to the DIP financing motion. As a result, no objections were filed to the DIP financing motion, and, on September 12, 2023, the Court entered an order granting the motion [Docket No. 2193].

# **II. Asset Recovery Investigation and Litigation (Matter ID 00002)***19*

- I. Court Hearings (Task Code B155) Fees: \$33,105.00 Total Hours: 29.10 - 52. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys attended numerous hearings

related to the Trustee's investigation and related litigation, including:

- the July 11, 2023 hearing on, among other things, (a) the Trustee's motion to compel compliance with Rule 2004 subpoenas as it pertains to certain Hudson Diamond entities, (b) Zeisler & Zeisler's motion to withdraw as counsel to Hudson Diamond NY LLC, and (c) Genever (US)'s application to retain Affiliated Adjustment Group, Ltd. ("AAGL"), as public adjuster. - the July 18, 2023 hearing on, among other things, the Trustee's omnibus motion to compel compliance with Rule 2004 subpoenas as it pertains to GTV Media, Inc., Saraca Media Group, Inc. and attorney Aaron D. Mitchell; and - the August 22, 2023 hearing on the Trustee's omnibus motion to compel compliance with Rule 2004 subpoenas as it pertains to certain Hudson Diamond entities. - 53. In addition, general hearing preparation (including agendas) for the hearings

scheduled on July 11, 2023, July 18, 2023, August 15, 2023, August 22, 2023, and August 29,

2023 was also recorded under Matter ID 00002.

- J. General Litigation (Task Code B191) Fees: \$43,667.50 Total Hours: 36.70 - 54. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys worked on several litigation

matters not related to a specific adversary proceeding,20 including (i) holding several internal

19 As part of the consensual resolution of the U.S. Trustee's informal comments to Paul Hastings' First Interim Fee Application, Paul Hastings agreed that, effective March 1, 2023, time spent on the key adversary proceedings in these chapter 11 cases would be recorded under separate matter numbers, namely Matter IDs 00012 to 00022 (as opposed to Matter ID 00002). Only litigation work not related to specific adversary proceedings continues to be recorded under Matter ID 00002, Task Code B191 (General Litigation). This change does not affect the other work streams recorded under Matter ID 00002.

20 As noted, effective as of March 1, 2023, Paul Hastings has recorded time spent on the key adversary proceedings in these chapter 11 cases under separate matter numbers, as detailed below.

calls to discuss general litigation strategy and next steps, (ii) maintaining a task list with respect to pending adversary proceedings, (iii) maintaining a tracking chart with respect to the pending appeals in these cases, and (iv) generally reviewing and analyzing pleadings filed in adversary proceedings.

K. Non-Working Travel (Task Code B195) [billed at ½ rate] Fees: \$7,438.75 Total Hours: 10.90

55. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys traveled to (a) the Federal Courthouse in Bridgeport, Connecticut, for various hearings and (b) Connecticut to conduct depositions in connection with the Trustee's Rule 2004 investigation.

L. Investigations (Task Code B261) Fees: \$542,440.50 Total Hours: 451.00

56. 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.

57. As part of this investigation, Paul Hastings attorneys (a) analyzed documents produced in response to Rule 2004 subpoenas,21 (b) engaged in meet and confer sessions with the targets of the Rule 2004 discovery, (c) identified additional entities for further investigation, (d) interviewed potential forensic accountants, (e) conducted numerous calls and meetings with the forensic accountant (Kroll) to apprise them of the status of the Trustee's investigation, (f) analyzed various issues related to Zeisler & Zeisler's motion to withdraw as counsel to Hudson

21 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.

Diamond NY LLC, and (g) analyzed potential claims against the Individual Debtor and his affiliated entities (including potential claims under RICO). In addition, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared for and deposed (i) M. Levine of Elliot Kwok Levine & Jaroslaw LLP, which was counsel to Lamp Capital LLC between May 2022 and September 2022, and (ii) J. Siegal of Baker & Hostetler LLP, which was counsel to the Debtor between September 2020 and on or around February 2022.

58. 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 motion filed on August 11, 2023 [Docket No. 2079] and the related reply brief filed on August 25, 2023 [Docket No. 2145] in response to the objection filed by Greenwich Land, LLC ("Greenwich Land") and Hing Chi Ngok [Docket No. 2098].22 The Court overruled the objection and granted the supplemental Rule 2004 motion by orders dated September 19, 2023 [Docket No. 2210]. In addition, on August 11, 2023, Paul Hastings filed the Trustee's supplemental motion to hold GTV Media Group, Inc. and Saraca Media Group, Inc. in civil contempt for failing to respond to the Trustee's Rule 2004 subpoenas [Docket No. 2080], which motion was granted by order dated August 18, 2023 [Docket No. 2093]. Furthermore, during the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys communicated with confidential informants, who provided valuable insight into the Individual Debtor's business operations.23

22 The supplemental Rule 2004 motion was 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.

23 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 "tipsters."

59. 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.

60. 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.

61. 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). For example, on July 26, 2023, the Court entered an order [Docket No. 2035] (the "Contempt Order") granting the Trustee's motion to hold the Individual Debtor in contempt for improperly

asserting his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination to refuse to produce documents to the Trustee.24

62. On March 10, 2023, the Court entered the HK Parties Contempt Order [Docket No. 1537] holding the HK Parties (*i.e.*, HK USA, Ms. Guo, and attorney Lee Vartan) in contempt and directing them, 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 the subpoenas. On April 10, 2023, the Trustee and Paul Hastings filed their Special Fee Application seeking payment of \$83,370.26 from the HK Parties with respect to fees incurred during the period from September 28, 2023 through March 10, 2023 (*i.e.*, the date the Court entered the HK Parties Contempt Order). The Court granted the Special Fee Application by order dated April 23, 2023 [Docket No. 1693], *i.e.*, the HK Parties Sanctions Order.

63. All of the fees covered by the Special Fee Application were incurred prior to the Fee Period (*i.e.*, prior to July 1, 2023). 25 However, Paul Hastings has continued to track time spent on these matters after March 10, 2023 under Task Code B262, which time principally relates to the HK Parties' appeal of the HK Parties Sanctions Order.26 Among other things,

M. Contempt Proceedings (Task Code B262) Fees: \$7,897.50 Total Hours: 5.10

24 As the Trustee advised the Court at the September 27, 2023 hearing that, at the request of the Government, the Trustee is presently not pursuing the documents at issue in the Contempt Order.

25 As detailed in the Special Fee Application, the time spent on seeking to compel HK USA and Ms. Guo to comply with the Trustee's subpoenas was recorded under Task Code B262 (with a 50% reduction to reflect that some of that time also related to the enforcement of the subpoena issued to the Individual Debtor).

26 Prior to the Fee Period, the HK Parties 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.

during the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared the Trustee's appellee brief in this appeal.

# **III. Other Litigation (Matter ID 00003)** *27*

# N. General Litigation (Task Code B191) Fees: \$53,166.00 Total Hours: 39.20

64. 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 cases). First, as the Court is well aware, on March 15, 2023, the Individual Debtor and Yvette Wang were arrested by federal law enforcement authorities. Paul Hastings monitored these criminal proceedings and reviewed pleadings filed in these proceedings.

65. 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. 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.28

# **IV. Sale Process (Matter ID 00005)**

A. Asset Disposition (Task Code B130) Fees: \$10,150.50 Total Hours: 7.50

66. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys and the Trustee, in close coordination with Edmiston, handled all aspects of the sale and marketing process for the Lady May II, as well as certain post-closing matters with respect to the sale of the Lady May (the sale

27 As a general matter, time spent on litigation-related tasks other than adversary proceedings in these chapter 11 cases was tracked under Matter ID 00003.

28 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.

of which closed on June 30, 2023, *i.e.*, immediately prior to the Fee Period). In addition, during the Fee Period, Paul Hastings began analyzing various issues related to the potential sale of furniture located at the Sherry Netherland Apartment.

# **V. Genever US (Matter ID 00010)**

A. Sale of Real Estate (Task Code B131) Fees: \$10,621.00 Total Hours: 8.20

67. 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 as to the treatment of co-op leases in bankruptcy.

B. Fee / Employment Applications for Other Professionals (Task Code B165) Fees: \$18,250.00 Total Hours: 11.40

68. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys assisted Genever (US)'s public adjuster, *i.e.*, AAGL, in connection with the March 15, 2023 fire at the Sherry Netherland apartment [Docket No. 1749], which application was granted on July 13, 2023 [Docket No. 2000]. Paul Hastings attorneys also prepared and filed the application of O'Sullivan McCormack Jensen & Bliss PC ("OMJB"), as special insurance coverage counsel to Genever (US) [Docket No. 2042], which application was granted on August 22, 2023 [Docket No. 2105]. 29 OMJB represents Genever (US) in its adversary proceeding seeking, among other things, an injunction prohibiting AIG from cancelling certain AIG insurance policies sold to Genever (US) with respect to the Sherry Netherland Apartment.

29 OMJB replaced Saxe Doernberger & Vita, P.C. as special insurance coverage counsel.

### C. Other Contested Matters (Task Code B190) Fees: \$69,610.50 Total Hours: 54.80

69. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared Genever (US)'s motion to remediate the area of the Sherry Netherland Apartment affected by the March 15, 2023 fire. As detailed in the remediation motion, the March 15, 2023 fire (including the fire department's efforts to extinguish the fire and law enforcement's investigation into the cause of the fire) has caused significant damage to an area of approximately 2,000 square free of the apartment, leaving the apartment, for all practical purposes, in an unmarketable condition.

70. 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).

71. In connection with preparing the remediation motion, Genever (US) and Paul Hastings also closely coordinated with, among others, the Sherry Netherland, PAX, and the U.S. Trustee. No objections were filed to the remediation motion, and, by order dated September 19, 2023 [Docket No. 2213], the Court granted the motion.

# D. Business Operations (Task Code B210) Fees: \$32,054.50 Total Hours: 19.60

72. 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 following the March 15, 2023 fire. In this regard, the Trustee had numerous communications with the architect (Acheson Doyle), counsel to the Sherry Netherland, and counsel to the insurer (AIG).

# **VI. Mahwah Adversary (Matter ID 00012)**

- A. Court Hearings (Task Code B155) Fees: \$47,789.50 Total Hours: 31.10 - 73. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys attended numerous hearings

related to the Mahwah Adversary Proceeding (as defined below), including:

- the August 14, 2023 hearing on the Trustee's motion seeking a preliminary injunction; and - the August 29, 2023 hearing on the Trustee's motion seeking approval of the settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice. - B. General Litigation (Task Code B191) Fees: \$353,192.50 Total Hours: 292.10

74. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared and filed the Trustee's complaint against Scott Barnett (the Individual Debtor's driver and/or bodyguard), Taurus Fund, LLC, and Taurus Management LLC [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05017] (the "Mahwah Adversary Proceeding").30 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 is an *alter ego* of the Individual Debtor.

75. In addition to preparing the complaint, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared, among other things, a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction and related pleadings, as well as a motion to seal the filing of the complaint pending the entry of the

30 The Mahwah Adversary Proceeding was commenced on July 11, 2023.

temporary restraining order. Injunctive relief and keeping the complaint temporarily under seal were necessary in order to protect the Mahwah Mansion and avoid potential damage or other issues that could arise had the complaint been filed publically. On August 1, 2023, the Court granted the motion to seal [Docket No. 16 in Adv. Proc. No. 23-05017] and entered a temporary restraining order [Docket No. 17 in Adv. Proc. No. 23-05017]. In addition, on August 24, 2023, the Court granted the requested preliminary injunction [Docket No. 47 in Adv. Proc. No. 23- 05017]. After the Trustee learned that the Mahwah Mansion was not insured, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared and filed an emergency motion [Docket No. 57 in Adv. Proc. No. 23-05017] seeking to modify the preliminary injunction to further limit access to the property to certain authorized parties. The Court granted the requested modification by order dated August 31, 2023 [Docket No. 58 in Adv. Proc. No. 23-05017].

76. Furthermore, during the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared the Trustee's motion seeking approval of a settlement with the Government to resolve certain potentially complex issues raised both the Mahwah Adversary Proceeding and in the Government's ongoing criminal case against the Debtor currently being heard in the Criminal Case, with respect to the Debtor's Mahwah Mansion.

77. As detailed in the settlement motion, the Mahwah Mansion has become a target for the Government in the Criminal Case because the Government alleges that the Mahwah Mansion is subject to forfeiture because it was purchased with the proceeds of the Debtor's alleged criminal schemes, and that its value should be distributed to the victims of such crimes as restitution. The proposed settlement effectuates a preliminary resolution to the issues surrounding the Mahwah Mansion. Under the Settlement Agreement, the Government has agreed not to oppose any of the Trustee's claims or requests for relief in the Mahwah Adversary

Proceeding, or any effort by the Trustee to obtain control of and/or sell the Mahwah Mansion. Critically, the settlement will ensure that any proceeds from an eventual sale of the Mahwah Mansion by the Trustee (if the Trustee prevails in the Mahwah Adversary Proceeding) are used first to pay the estate's expenses (including reasonable legal fees related to the Mahwah Adversary Proceeding) in connection with taking control of and selling the Mahwah Mansion, so that the estate will not be out of pocket even if future discussions between the Trustee and the Government regarding the distribution of sale proceeds of the Mahwah Mansion do not lead to a favorable settlement from the point of view of the estate.

C. Non-Working Travel (Task Code B195) Fees: \$11,852.75 Total Hours: 16.00

78. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys traveled to the Federal Courthouse in Bridgeport, Connecticut, for August 14, 2023 and August 29, 2023 hearings in the Mahwah Adversary Proceeding.

### **VII. Golden Spring Adversary Proceeding (Matter ID 00013)**

A. General Litigation (Task Code B191) Fees: \$107,625.50 Total Hours: 95.30

79. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared and filed the Trustee's complaint against Golden Spring and China Golden Spring [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05018] (the "Golden Spring Adversary Proceeding"). In the Golden Spring Adversary Proceeding, the Trustee seeks 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 assisted the Trustee on all matters related to the Golden Spring Adversary Proceeding, including legal analysis of the claims

asserted against Golden Spring and China Golden Spring, preparing a motion to seal the complaint, and preparing a motion to set an answer deadline.

80. Golden Spring failed to respond to the complaint, and, on September 12, 2023,

the Trustee requested entry of a default judgment as against Golden Spring. The Court entered a

default judgment against Golden Spring by order dated September 20, 2023 [Docket No. 17 in

Adv. Proc. No. 23-05018].31

# **VIII. HCHK Adversary (Matter ID 00014)**

- A. Court Hearings (Task Code B155) Fees: \$43,234.50 Total Hours: 24.60 - 81. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys attended numerous hearings

related to the HCHK Adversary Proceeding (as defined below), including:

- the July 11, 2023 and July 18, 2023 hearings on the Trustee's motion seeking approval of the Assignee Settlement (as defined below); - the August 8, 2023 status conference regarding the motion of the Proposed Intervenors (as defined below) seeking to intervene in the HCHK Adversary Proceeding; and - the August 15, 2023 pre-trial conference. - B. General Litigation (Task Code B191) Fees: \$596,122.00 Total Hours: 478.70 - 82. On June 8, 2023, the Trustee filed his complaint against the HCHK Entities, the

Assignee, Holy City Hong Kong Ventures, Ltd., Yvette Wang, and Anthony DiBattista [Adv.

Proc. No. 23-05013] (the "HCHK Adversary Proceeding"). In the HCHK Adversary

Proceeding, the Trustee seeks 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

31 On October 11, 2023, the Trustee also requested entry of a default judgment against China Golden Spring, which also failed to respond to the complaint. As of the filing of this Application, the Court has not yet ruled on that request.

HCHK Entities and/or their assets. In addition, the complaint sought an injunction against the commencement or continuation of the assignment proceedings commenced with respect to the HCHK Entities in New York state court (the "Assignment Proceedings"). In connection with the HCHK Adversary Proceeding, the Trustee also requested and obtained a temporary restraining order (the "HCHK TRO") as it relates to the commencement or continuation of the Assignment Proceeding. *See* Docket No. 18 in Adv. Proc. No. 23-05013.

83. Shortly after the entry of the HCHK TRO, the Trustee successfully negotiated a settlement agreement (*i.e.*, the Assignee Settlement) between the Trustee and the Assignee pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and present such settlement to this Court. The Assignee Settlement provides for important benefits to the estate, including the deposit of over \$38 million of the HCHK Entities' funds into accounts controlled by the Trustee and the Assignee's commitment to not oppose the relief sought by the Trustee in the HCHK Litigation. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys continued to assist the Trustee in prosecuting the Assignee Settlement, including preparing the Trustee's reply in further support of his motion for approval of the Assignee Settlement [Docket No. 45 in Adv. Proc. No. 23-05013]. The Assignee Settlement was approved by order dated July 28, 2023 [Docket No. 70 in Adv. Proc. No. 23- 05013]. In addition, after G-Club sought to prevent the turnover of portions of HCHK Technologies, Inc.'s ("HCHK Technologies") corporate documents under the Assignee Settlement, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared the Trustee's memorandum of law [Docket No. 86 in Adv. Proc. No. 23-05013] in support of the Trustee's argument that G-Club should not be permitted to prevent the turnover of such corporate records to the Trustee as part of the Assignee Settlement.

84. Furthermore, during the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys continued to assist the Trustee on all matters related to the HCHK Adversary Proceeding. Most notably, Paul Hastings attorneys handled all matters related to the motion to intervene filed by Shin Hsin Yu, 1332156 B.C. LTD, GWGOPNZ Limited, Japan Himalaya League, Inc. (collectively, the "Proposed Intervenors") and their motion to clarify the HCHK TRO.32 For example, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared, among other things, the Trustee's motion to authorize and compel discovery from the Proposed Intervenors [Docket No. 67 in Adv. Proc. No. 23-05013] and the Trustee's objection to certain purported HCHK creditors to expedite the hearing on their motion to "clarify" the HCHK TRO. In addition, Paul Hastings attorneys handled the Trustee's discovery efforts with respect to the Proposed Intervenor's motion to intervene (including deposition preparation).

85. Finally, Paul Hastings attorneys also prepared (a) the Trustee's motion for an order setting a deadline for Holy City Hong Kong Ventures, Ltd. to respond to the Trustee's complaint [Docket No. 56 in Adv. Proc. No. 23-05013] and (b) the Trustee's objection to the motion filed by certain defendants seeking to extend the time to plead and the Trustee's related cross-motion to enter a default judgment against the defendants [Docket No. 110 in Adv. Proc. No. 23-05013]. On September 29, 2023, the Court entered a default judgment against Defendants HCHK Technologies, Inc., HCHK Property Management, Inc., Lexington Property and Staffing, Inc., and Holy City Hong Kong Ventures, Ltd. [Docket No. 139 in Adv. Proc. No. 23-05013].

32 The Trustee's substantive responses to these motions were filed on September 15, 2023 [Docket Nos. 118 and 119 in Adv. Proc. No. 23-05013], *i.e.*, after the conclusion of the Fee Period. An evidentiary hearing on these motions has been scheduled for November 29, 2023.

C. Non-Working Travel (Task Code B195) Fees: \$7,953.75 Total Hours: 9.50

86. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys traveled to the Federal Courthouse in Bridgeport, Connecticut, for July 11, 2023, July 18, 2023, and August 15, 2023 hearings in the HCHK Adversary Proceeding.

# **IX. Interpleader Adversary (Matter ID 00015)**

- A. General Litigation (Task Code B191) Fees: \$18,179.50 Total Hours: 11.30 - 87. On June 6, 2023, U.S. Bank commenced an interpleader action [Adv. Proc. No.

23-05012] (the "Interpleader Adversary Proceeding") to resolve a dispute regarding the release of the \$33 million in Escrow Funds held by U.S. Bank in escrow pursuant to an escrow agreement between HK USA, the Committee, and U.S. Bank (the "Escrow Agreement") entered into in connection with that certain *Stipulated Order Compelling HK International Funds Investments (USA) Limited, LLC to Transport and Deliver that Certain Yacht, The "Lady May"* entered by the Court on April 29, 2022 [Docket No. 299].33

88. While the bulk of the services provided to the Trustee in connection with the Interpleader Adversary Proceeding was undertaken by the Trustee's local counsel, *i.e.*, NPM, Paul Hastings attorneys performed certain discrete tasks related to the Interpleader Adversary Proceeding, including analyzing and commenting on the draft reply in support of the Trustee's motion for summary judgment. Moreover, Paul Hastings attorneys handled the July 11, 2023 hearing on the Trustee's summary judgment motion.

33 U.S. Bank commenced the Interpleader Adversary Proceeding following the Court's ruling [Docket No. 221 in Adv. Proc. No. 22-05003] in the HK USA Adversary Proceeding that (a) among other things, all property of HK USA, including the Escrow Funds, are property of the Individual Debtor's estate, and (b) directing HK USA to deliver all property of HK USA to the Trustee. The Trustee takes the position that this ruling requires the immediate turnover of such funds to the Trustee. However, HK USA has refused to instruct U.S. Bank to release the funds to the Trustee and, instead, taken the position that, under the Escrow Agreement, the funds cannot be turned over to the Trustee, absent a final, non-appealable order to that effect.

89. On September 7, 2023, the Court granted the summary judgment motion [Docket No. 57 in Adv. Proc. No. 23-05012], authorizing the Trustee to remove the Escrow Funds from the segregated account and deposit such funds into the estate's general account(s).34

### **X. Mei Guo Adversary (Matter ID 00016)**

A. General Litigation (Task Code B191) Fees: \$96,447.00 Total Hours: 79.00

90. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys continued to prosecute the Trustee's complaint against Mei Guo [Adv. Proc. No. 22-05008] (the "Mei Guo Adversary Proceeding"). In the Mei Guo Adversary Proceeding, the Trustee seeks (a) an order declaring that the proceeds, likely in an amount of over \$10 million, from the sale of the Individual Debtor's private Bombardier jet (the "Bombardier Proceeds") are property of the estate, (b) an order that Mei Guo surrender the Bombardier Proceeds or the value thereof to the Trustee because she received the Bombardier Proceeds as an unauthorized postpetition transfer avoidable under section 549 of the Bankruptcy Code, (c) an order that Mei Guo surrender to the Trustee the value of the Debtor's shell company Anton Development Limited at the time the company was transferred to her on June 27, 2017 (upon which date Anton Development Limited was title holder to the Bombardier jet) pursuant to a transaction avoidable as an actual fraudulent transfer, and (d) an order declaring that a series of BVI registered shell companies purportedly held by Mei Guo are property of the Individual Debtor's chapter 11 estate.

91. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys continued to handle the Mei Guo Adversary Proceeding, including (a) preparing initial disclosures, (b) preparing a joint pre-trial order, and (c) handling all discovery matters, including preparing discovery requests.

34 On September 14, 2023, HK USA appealed the summary judgment order [Docket No. 60 in Adv. Proc. No. 23- 05012].

### **XI. HK USA Adversary (Matter ID 00017)**

A. General Litigation (Task Code B191) Fees: \$166,714.50 Total Hours: 122.60

92. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys handled all matters arising out of HK USA and Mei Guo's appeal of this Court's rulings in connection with the Trustee's counterclaims against HK USA and Mei Guo [Adv. Proc. No. 22-05003] (the "HK USA Adversary Proceeding"). In the HK USA Adversary Proceeding, this Court determined that, among other things, (a) the Lady May and the Lady May II are property of the Individual Debtor's estate, (b) HK USA is an *alter ego* of the Individual Debtor, and (c) the \$33 million held in escrow by U.S. Bank are property of the estate [Docket Nos. 172 and 221 in Adv. Proc. No. 22-05003].

93. HK USA and Mei Guo have appealed these ruling to the District Court as well as sought a stay pending appeal. In connection with this appeal, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared, among other things, (a) the Trustee's response to the appellants' emergency motion for a stay pending appeal (which motion to the District Court denied), and (b) the Trustee's appellee brief (which was filed on September 6, 2023).

# **XII. Bravo Luck Adversary (Matter ID 00018)**

A. General Litigation (Task Code B191) Fees: \$ \$75,247.50 Total Hours: 50.80

94. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys assisted the Trustee, Genever (BVI), and Genever (US) in negotiating a consensual resolution of their claims against Bravo Luck and the Debtors' son, Mr. Qiang Guo [Adv. Proc. No. Adversary Proceeding No. 23- 05027] (the "Bravo Luck Adversary Proceeding"). In the Bravo Luck Adversary Proceeding, the Trustee, Genever (BVI), and Genever (US) had challenged the validity and enforceability of a

purported trust agreement between the Individual Debtor, Genever (BVI), Genever (US), and Bravo Luck, pursuant to which Bravo Luck was purportedly granted a beneficial ownership of the Sherry Netherland Apartment, as well as asserting fraudulent transfer claims against Bravo Luck and Mr. Qiang Guo.

95. In particular, during the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys negotiated and prepared the settlement agreement with Bravo Luck and Mr. Qiang Guo as well as prepared the related motion to approve such settlement, which motion was filed on August 4, 2023 [Docket No. 111 in Adv. Proc. No. 23-05027]. As a result of the settlement, the Trustee, Genever (US) and Genever (BVI) obtained the primary relief they sought in the Bravo Luck Adversary Proceedings—namely, undisputed beneficial ownership and control of the Sherry Netherland Apartment. The settlement was approved by order dated August 30, 2023 [Docket No. 118 in Adv. Proc. No. 23-05027]. To the extent not obvious from the settlement documents filed in connection with this motion, the settlement reflects a complete and unconditional vindication of the Trustee's position in this matter.

### **XIII. Greenwich Land Adversary (Matter ID 00020)**

A. General Litigation (Task Code B191) Fees: \$735,135.50 Total Hours: 586.80

96. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys continued to prosecute the Trustee's complaint against Greenwich Land and Hing Chi Ngok [Adv. Proc. No. 23-05005] (the "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.

97. During the Fee Period, Paul Hastings attorneys prepared several filings in the Greenwich Land Adversary Proceeding, including, most notably, the Trustee's objection to defendants' motion to withdraw the reference to the District Court [Docket No. 63 in Adv. Proc. No. 23-05005]. All the while, Paul Hastings handled all matters related to the discovery in the Greenwich Land Adversary Proceeding, including (a) preparing responses to the defendants' document requests, interrogatories, and requests for admission, (b) preparing subpoenas and deposition notices, (c) reviewing documents produced, (d) participating in meet & confer sessions with the defendants, (e) preparing for depositions, and (f) preparing witness declarations. In addition, Paul Hastings attorneys deposed Ms. Emile DeNeree (the former real estate broker to the Individual Debtor) on August 24, 2023, and defended the deposition of the Trustee on August 23, 2023. All these discovery efforts culminated in the Trustee's motion for summary judgment [Docket No. 77 in Adv. Proc. No. 23-05005], which was filed on October 10, 2023. 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.

### **REASONABLENESS OF COMPENSATION**

98. 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

### Case 22-50073 Doc 2256 Filed 10/16/23 Entered 10/16/23 22:05:06 Page 48 of

U.S.C. § 327 "reasonable compensation for actual, necessary services rendered" and "reimbursement for actual, necessary expenses." 11 U.S.C. § 330(a)(1).35

99. 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).

100. 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.*,36 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

35 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).

36 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.

S.Ct. 1662, 1672 (2010); *In re Drexel Burnham Lambert Grp., Inc.*, 133 B.R. 13 (Bankr.

and *Johnson* as the "leading cases with regard to the factors to be considered in determining a

reasonable allowance of compensation").

101. 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 \$3,725,984.25 and 3031.60 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

37 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).

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**

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. As a result of Paul Hastings' efforts, the Trustee has been able to recover, among other assets, the Lady May, the Lady May II, and \$33 million in escrow funds. Moreover, on August 1, 2023, the Trustee received approximately \$38.8 million in funds pursuant to the settlement with the Assignee in the HCHK Adversary Proceeding. Furthermore, 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 as well.

### 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 retention as counsel effective as of October 11, 2022, and (c) Genever (US) since its retention as counsel effective as of November 3, 2022.

102. 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.

103. Paul Hastings also notes that the rates charged during the Fee Period are

reasonable. In fact, this Court recently held that Paul Hastings' New York rates are reasonable

# Case 22-50073 Doc 2256 Filed 10/16/23 Entered 10/16/23 22:05:06 Page 53 of

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].

104. 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**

105. As set forth in Exhibit C hereto, Paul Hastings incurred and disbursed \$146,137.57 as expenses in providing professional services during the Fee Period. These expenses include approximately \$15,562.56 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.38

106. Additional necessary expenses included:

- \$94,724.02 for certain outside professional services, such as document review services by UnitedLex (\$93,448.02) and translation services by Divergent Language Solutions (\$1,276.00); - \$5,735.52 for document reproductions, namely \$5,312.32 for b/w reproductions (at 8 cents per page) and \$423.20 for color reproductions (at 20 cents per page); - \$5,256.99 for UPS/courier service, including service of pleadings required to be served in hard copy format;

38 Documentation of these expenses will be made available to the Court upon request.

- \$3,576.19 for court reporting services; - \$1,725.00 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; and - \$321.35 for corporate document retrieval services (including United Corporate Service and Corp2000) with respect to various Kwok-related entities.

107. 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 more than 140,000 discovery documents received by the Trustee to date in connection with his investigation.

108. 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 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), which 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.

109. 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.

110. 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. 39

111. 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.

112. 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.

39 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.

113. 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**

114. 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 standard or customary billing rates, fees, or terms for services pertaining to this engagement that were provided during the Fee Period? | |-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Response: | Yes. As a courtesy to these estates and based on circumstances unique to these chapter 11 cases, during the Fee Period, Paul Hastings agreed to voluntary fee reductions aggregating \$124,820.25, including the following: | | | (i) Paul Hastings did not implement the August 1, 2023 firm-wide hourly rate increase in these chapter 11 cases and, instead, maintained the existing rates for the Fee Period. This translates into \$62,236.50 in waived fees. | | | (ii) Paul Hastings is not seeking allowance or payment at this time of the fees incurred by twenty one (21) timekeepers who billed less than five (5) hours during the Fee Period. The total amount of such fees is \$37,232.00. 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. | | | (iii) As a result of the agreed-upon reduction in Luc Despins' hourly rate (from his standard hourly rate of \$1,975 to the reduced hourly rate of \$1,860), an additional \$25,351.75 in fees have been waived. | | Question: | If the fees sought in this application as compared to the fees budgeted for the Fee Period are higher by 10% or more, did you discuss the reasons for the variation with the client. | | Response: | Not applicable. |

**Question:** Have any of the professionals included in this application varied their hourly rate based on the geographic location of the bankruptcy case?

**Response:** No.

**Question:** Does the application include time or fees related to reviewing or revising time records or preparing, reviewing, or revising invoices? (This is limited to work involved in preparing and editing billing records that would not be compensable outside of bankruptcy and does not include reasonable fees for preparing a fee application.) If so, please quantify by hours and fees.

**Response:** The Application does not include time for preparing, reviewing, or revising time records. However, the Application does include approximately 36.5 hours and associated fees of approximately \$58,916.00 related to preparing, reviewing, and revising Paul Hastings' fee statements and ensuring time entries are properly categorized by matter number and task code. On average, less than 7.5 hours were spent on each of the five monthly fee statements prepared during the Fee Period.

**Question:** Does this application include time or fees for reviewing time records to redact any privileged or other confidential information? If so, please quantify by hours and fees.

**Response:** No.

**Question:** If the application includes any rate increases since retention: (i) Did your client review and approve those rate increases in advance? (ii) Did your client agree when retaining the law firm to accept all future rates increases? If not, did you inform your client that they need not agree to modified rates or terms in order to have you continue the representation consistent with ABA Formal Ethics Opinion 11-458?

**Response:** As is customary, Paul Hastings adjusts its hourly rates periodically based upon (i) the advancing seniority of its professionals and paraprofessionals, (ii) the current market for legal services, (iii) the rates charged for comparable non‐bankruptcy services, and (iv) the firm's analysis of the hourly rates being charged by professionals in other law firms. Effective January 1, 2023, Paul Hastings adjusted its hourly rates consistent with the Retention Order [Docket No. 668] and the *Notice of Change in Hourly Rates of Paul Hastings LLP, Counsel to Chapter 11 Trustee* [Docket No. 1251].

### **RESERVATION OF RIGHTS**

115. 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**

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

[*Remainder of page intentionally left blank.*]

# **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 September 1, 2022 and ending on August 31, 2023 was, in the aggregate, approximately \$1,150 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 \$1,229 per hour. A detailed comparison of these rates follows:

| Category of Timekeeper | Blended Hourly Rate | | |----------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|--------------------------------| | | Non-Bankruptcy Matters Blended Hourly Rate | Debtor Blended Hourly Rate2 | | Partner | \$1,540 | \$1,709 | | Counsel | \$1,359 | \$1,589 | | Associate | \$944 | \$1,074 | | Paraprofessionals | \$477 | \$540 | | All Timekeepers Aggregated | \$1,150 | \$1,229 |

1 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.

2 Luc A. Despins, the lead attorney on this matter and the co-chair of Paul Hastings' Global Restructuring Practice, 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.
