percentages. Should any of Debtor’s Family Members or Debtor’s Associates contest the

Trustee’s ownership and assert an interest in any of the Business Entities, the Trustee also seeks

an award of attorney’s fees against such Debtor’s Family Members or Debtor’s Associates.

53. Moreover, to the extent that any property of the estate is not in the Trustee’s

possession, the Trustee seeks immediate turnover of that property. And, to the extent that any

property of the estate was transferred by or among Defendants post-petition, such transfers are

avoidable pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code.

54. Lastly, the Trustee also seeks a temporary restraining order and preliminary

injunction (“TRO”) to preserve the bankruptcy estate by restricting how assets, ownership

interests, property and money can be transferred.

STATEMENT OF FACTS

55. The Bankruptcy Case is an involuntary Chapter 7 commenced on September 9,

2015 (the “Petition Date”) and on November 17, 2015, Randy Williams was duly appointed as

successor trustee for the Bankruptcy Case.

56. To date, Debtor asserts his Fifth Amendment privilege and he has failed and refused

to complete bankruptcy schedules and statements of financial affairs. The Trustee believes Debtor

is using the Fifth Amendment to shield his elaborate scheme of hiding his assets to avoid paying

his creditors.

57. Despite Debtor’s refusal to disclose his assets and ownership interests to the

Bankruptcy Court, the Trustee, and creditors throughout the pendency of the Bankruptcy Case, the

Trustee undertook significant third party discovery. The Trustee uncovered numerous business

interests owned by Debtor or held for Debtor in the name of Debtor’s Family Members or Debtor’s

Associates.

58. Written documentation and public filings reflect that Debtor is the sole owner of

the Business Entities and/or the sole officer exerting control and management of the Business

Entities.

59. Evidence obtained by the Trustee, including evidence from both Debtor’s Family

Members and Debtor’s Associates, establishes that Debtor exercises sole financial control,

management authority and owns interests in the Business Entities.2 Before and after the petition

date, Debtor repeatedly transferred funds between the Business Entities’ bank accounts to cover

personal expenses, service personal debts, and initiate new business ventures. Allegations

concerning each of these Business Entities follow below in paragraphs 60 through 68.

60. SRM Entities concern a petroleum related business. Based on discovery

conducted and information obtained, the Trustee believes Debtor owned a 100% interest in the

SRM Entities, including their assets and real estate, as of the Petition Date. One of the SRM

Entities, SRM Terminal, LLC, is the listed owner of a petroleum products storage facility,

commonly referred to as a “tank farm” located at 12927 Highway 146 North, Mount Belvieu,

Texas 77523 (“SRM Tank Farm”). Debtor used the SRM Tank Farm and the SRM Entities as

assets on personal financial statements to obtain large loans—the proceeds of which he has used

to acquire other property in the name of other Defendants.

61. MMAF Entities are used interchangeably by Debtor for various business purposes.

These purposes include: 1) owning the real estate at both 5622 Havenwoods Drive, Houston, Texas

77066 (“5622 Havenwoods”) and 5623 Havenwoods Drive, Houston, Texas 77066 (“5623

Havenwoods”), 2) holding interests in other Business Entities, including Laeeq Health Systems,

LLC, and 3) serving as an asset listed on personal financial statements submitted by Debtor during

this Bankruptcy Case. Though Debtor asserted at various times that Ghouse, Kuldip, Mona,

Mariya, Amann, F, and Mays own various interests in the MMAF Entities, based on discovery

conducted and information obtained, the Trustee believes Debtor owns 100% of each of the

MMAF Entities and their assets and real estate as of the Petition Date, including 5622

Havenwoods. Based on discovery conducted and information obtained, Trustee believes Debtor

acquired 5623 Havenwoods with proceeds of property of the estate post-petition.

62. Citgo Entity owns a Citgo branded gas station and the real property located at 4903

Airline Drive #12, Houston, Texas 77022 which includes additional space that is leased to

commercial tenants. Based on discovery conducted and information obtained, Trustee believes

Debtor owns 35% of the Citgo Entity, including its assets and real estate, as of the Petition Date.

63. Event Entity owns real property consisting of three lots including one that is a

commercial event venue space. The addresses for these lots are: 17119 Bamwood Drive, Houston,

Texas 77090; 17103 Bamwood Drive, Houston, Texas 77090; and 17111 Bamwood Drive,

Houston, Texas 77090 (“Bamwood Properties”). Based on discovery conducted and information

obtained, the Trustee believes Debtor owns 100% of the Event Entity, including its assets and the

Bamwood Properties, as of the Petition Date.

64. Apartment Entity owns real property located at 5638 Selinsky Road, Houston

Texas 77048, which is currently vacant, unimproved land. An apartment complex once occupied

this lot. However, the Trustee discovered that the complex was demolished by the City of Houston

during the Bankruptcy Case. In fact, Debtor retained separate bankruptcy counsel to file a separate

bankruptcy case on behalf of Apartment Entity in an unsuccessful effort to stop the demolition.3

Based on discovery conducted and information obtained, before the Petition Date Debtor entered

into one or more agreements to acquire Apartment Entity. Based on discovery conducted and

information obtained, the Trustee believes Debtor currently owns 100% of Apartment Entity,

including its assets and real property, as a result of money payments funneled by Debtor through

the Doctors Hospital Entities to third parties during the Bankruptcy Case.

65. Doctors Hospital Entities own real estate, including improved and unimproved

commercial real estate, a hospital facility, and a private hospital enterprise (collectively, the

“Hospital”). The unimproved plots of commercial land are either adjacent to Doctors Hospital or

are the site of a former hospital that has been demolished. These unimproved plots are found at

5734 Stuebner Airline Road, Houston, Texas 77091 and 233 W. Parker Road, Houston, Texas

77076. Doctors Hospital sits on five different tracts of land which can be found at the following

addresses and Harris County Appraisal District account numbers: 510 W. Tidwell Road, Houston,

Texas 77091 (610010000001), 510 W. Tidwell Road #117, Houston, Texas 77091

(610010000004), 508 W. Tidwell Road, Houston, Texas 77091 (610010000005), 508 W. Tidwell

Road, Houston, Texas 77091 (610010000006), and 510 W. Tidwell Road, Houston, Texas 77091

(610010000001). Based on discovery conducted and information obtained, the Trustee believes

Debtor owned no less than a 55% interest in the Doctors Hospital Entities and their assets,

including the foregoing real estate, as of the Petition Date. Since the Petition Date, transfers of

assets and ownership interests from other Business Entities (which Debtor owns and are property

of the estate or proceeds of property of the estate) indicate that Debtor now owns no less than an

86% interest in the Doctors Hospital Entities, including their assets and real estate.

66. MOB Entities own a medical office building at 509 W. Tidwell Road, Houston,

Texas 77091, located across the street from Doctors Hospital. Based on discovery conducted to

date, Debtor acquired at least a 55% interest in the MOB Entities post-petition using proceeds of

property of the estate. While the ownership interest arose after the Petition Date, it was acquired

during the Bankruptcy Case as a result of transfers from Business Entities that Debtor owned as

of the Petition Date.

67. Clinic Entities own a medical imaging clinic at 511 W. Tidwell Road, Houston,

Texas 77091,4 which is across the street from Doctors Hospital. Based on information obtained

and discovery conducted to date, Debtor acquired at least a 55% interest in the Clinic Entities post-

petition from proceeds of property of the estate. That is, while Debtor’s ownership interest arose

after the Petition Date, it was acquired during the Bankruptcy Case as a result of transfers from

Business Entities that Debtor owned as of the Petition Date.

68. Parker Transfer Entities were involved in multiple transactions concerning the

real property at 233 W. Parker Road, Houston, Texas 77076 (the “Parker Property”). As of the

Petition Date, Debtor owned at least a 55% interest in the Parker Property, which at the time was

a single lot, by and through his ownership interest in Tidwell/Parkway Property Holdings, LP.

Since the Petition Date, the Parker Property has been subdivided into four separate lots as a result

of a series of transactions. For purposes of this Complaint, these four lots are identified as “Parker

Property 1” and “Parker Property 2”5 “Parker Property 3,”6 and “Parker Property 4.”7 Debtor

caused the transactions to be initiated and now Tidwell/Parkway Property Holdings, LP (herein,

one of the Doctors Hospital Entities), owns Parker Property 1. BREAKTIME STORES 30, LLC,

whose principle is Omair Bashir (a brother in law of Debtor), purportedly owns Parker Property 2

and Parker Property 3. 5921 Interests, Ltd., whose principle is David Greenberg, purportedly owns

the remainder of Parker Property 4.

Parker Property 1 and Parker Property 2 include: TWO 1.2629 (55,011 SQUARE FOOT TRACTS) OUT OF

69. To administer Debtor’s bankruptcy estate, it is necessary both to determine all

ownership claims and interests in and to the Business Entities and to prevent Debtor from

continuing to freely move assets among the Business Entities as it suits his personal needs and

whims. Consequently, the Trustee files the Adversary Proceeding against those Business Entities

and Defendants known to the Trustee. The Trustee has reason to believe that there may be more

entities and properties which Debtor owns and are property of the bankruptcy estate but which

Debtor has hidden or failed to disclose to the Trustee. As such, the Trustee anticipates seeking

amendments to the Complaint and the TRO as discovery in the Adversary Proceeding progresses.

It is also possible that further litigation will be filed to recover additional interests of Debtor.

CAUSES OF ACTION

I. Request for Declaratory Judgment that the Business Entities and All Their Assets Are
Property of the Estate and Subject to Administration by the Trustee.

70. The allegations and exhibits in paragraphs 1 through 69 above are incorporated

herein.

71. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2201 and 2202, the Trustee seeks a declaratory judgment

that Debtor owns all or a substantial portion of the ownership interests in the following Business

Entities, including their assets and real property (including, without limitation, the real property

described above)8:

 SRM Molecular, Inc.


 SRM Petroleum Products, Inc.
 SRM Terminal, LLC
 MMAF, LLC
 MMAF Investment Holdings, Inc. a/k/a MMAF Holdings, Inc.,
a/k/a M.M.A.F. Holdings, Inc.
 MMAF & JIMIN INVESTMENT, LLC
 Le Jardin Events a/k/a Mona Lisa Events and Banquet, LLC

8
Hereinafter referred to collectively with all other ownership interests identified in paragraph 71 as the “Ownership
Interests.”

 Laeeq MOB, LP d/b/a MMJA Ventures, LLC
 Laeeq MOB Management, LLC
 Laeeq 511 Interests, LLC
 Tidwell MOB Management, LLC
 Tidwell MOB, LP.

72. Moreover, the Trustee seeks a declaratory judgment that Debtor’s Family Members

and Debtor’s Associates either own no interest in the Business Entities or own a percentage

exclusive from that which Debtor owns, subject to proof that consideration was actually given for

such interests and that to the extent consideration was given that it was funds of those parties and

not funds of Debtor and/or his interest in the Business Entities or otherwise property of the

bankruptcy estate.

73. The Trustee also seeks a declaratory judgment that Debtor’s interests in the

Business Entities are property of Debtor’s Chapter 7 bankruptcy estate and subject to

administration by the Trustee.

74. The Trustee is entitled to such a declaratory judgment pursuant to the following

four theories.

i. Quasi-Estoppel

75. The allegations and exhibits in paragraphs 1 through 74 above are incorporated

herein.

76. Quasi-Estoppel prevents “a party from asserting, to another’s disadvantage, a right

inconsistent with a position previously taken.” Lopez v. Munoz, Hockema & Reed, L.L.P., 22

S.W.3d 857, 864 (Tex. 2000). “The doctrine applies when it would be unconscionable to allow a

person to maintain a position inconsistent with one to which he acquiesced, or from which he

accepted a benefit.” Id.

77. Debtor, both before and after the Petition Date, repeatedly represented to third-

parties that he had ownership interests in the Business Entities and Real Property. Such conduct

puzzled the Trustee. Why would a debtor who genuinely fears that his Fifth Amendment rights are

at risk fail and refuse to disclose to the Court his assets, yet proceed to disclose his assets on no

less than three separate occasions to lenders after the Petition Date? Exhibit 1, at 13–35.9 The

Trustee has come to one conclusion—Debtor is engaged in an ongoing scheme to hide his assets

and grow his personal wealth, while relying on Debtor’s Family Members and Debtor’s Associates

to accomplish this scheme during the pendency of the Bankruptcy Case.

78. This conclusion is buttressed by the personal financial statement provided by

Debtor and signed by Debtor post-petition related to an asset purchase agreement (“Asset

Purchase”) in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy involving Humble Surgical Hospital, LLC (“Humble

Surgical Bankruptcy”).10 As part of the Asset Purchase, Debtor sent a signed, personal financial

statement to the debtors and Chapter 11 trustee in the Humble Surgical Bankruptcy. Exhibit 1, at

19-22. The result was a sale order approved by Judge Lynn Hughes of the United States District

Court for the Southern District of Texas. Exhibit 2, at 6–30. In fact, the same counsel who

represents Debtor in the above-captioned bankruptcy case, represented Debtor in the Asset

Purchase. Exhibit 2, at 29-30.

79. Given such conduct, as well as Debtor’s choice to destroy estate property rather

than surrendering it to the Trustee when under Court Order, Exhibit 3, the Trustee believes Debtor

will either deny his ownership in the Business Entities or point to those who nominally hold the

Business Entities as the true owners. Quasi-estoppel precludes Debtor both from denying such

ownership and from pointing to other parties as the true owners. Debtor benefited from his

assertions in these personal financial statements—as evident from the facts herein—and it would

be unconscionable for Debtor to not be estopped from asserting legal arguments directly contrary

to his admitted ownership. To do so would allow Debtor to continue avoiding both his obligations

under the Bankruptcy Code and his creditors. Given the financial benefits Debtor received from

his representations of ownership, Texas law estops Debtor from denying ownership in the Business

Entities or pointing to others as owning his interests. In re Liao, 553 B.R. 584, 607 (Bankr. S.D.

Tex. 2016) (citing Davidson v. Davidson, 947 F.2d 1294, 1297 (5th Cir. 1991) (internal citations

omitted).

80. An identification of facts which support the application of quasi-estoppel as it

relates to certain of the Ownership Interests and Real Property, and other assets, follows below.

These facts are only partial and the Trustee anticipates more will be revealed as discovery

progresses.

81. SRM Entities: Through signed financial statements, Debtor repeatedly listed his

ownership in the SRM Entities to obtain financing from third-party lenders:11

11
Although these financial statements list the social security number and birth date of Ghouse, based on Trustee’s
review of signature cards related to bank accounts for which Debtor has authority, Trustee contends Debtor signed
these financial statements. Before the Court, Debtor identified his own signature, and the same signature is on these
financial statements indicating that Debtor—not Ghouse—signed these statements. Exhibit 5; Exhibit 6, at 1–3.
Debtor did list his own social security number on the financial statement dated June 20, 2015. Additionally, the
name listed on the December 12, 2014 financial statement was “Syed R. Mohiuddin” and “Syed Mohiuddin” on all
subsequent statements. Finally, Debtor sent all of the financial statements referenced herein to the relevant parties
from his email address: srm1124@gmail.com.

82. Based apparently on Debtor’s representations in the December 2014 financial

statement (“December 2014 Statement”), Exhibit 1, at 4–6, Greenberg Finance Company agreed

to loan $1.82 million to SRM Terminal. Exhibit 4.

his ownership in the MMAF Entities and the real property associated with them to obtain financing

from third-party lenders.

his ownership percentage interest in email correspondence with Wang and profit distributions with

Wang that align with that same percentage. Exhibit 10.

ownership in the Apartment Entity as 65% in order to obtain financing from a third-party lender

in the August 2017. Exhibit 1, at 19–22.

88. Doctors Hospital Entities: Debtor asserted the following ownership stakes in the

Doctors Hospital Entities, which align with the percentage of ownership the MMAF Entities have

90. Clinic Entities: Through a signed financial statement in August of 2017, Debtor

identified his ownership in the Apartment Entity as 60%. Exhibit 1, at 19–22. Through a signed

financial statement in September 2018, Debtor appears to identify his ownership in the Clinic

Entities as 100%. Exhibit 1, at 28–29. Debtor completed both of these financial statements in an

effort to obtain and benefit from third-party financing.

Case 19-03434 Document 1 Filed in TXSB on 04/10/19 Page 25 of 40

91. Based on the foregoing and without limitation, Trustee asks the Court find Debtor

is the owner of all or a substantial portion of the Business Entities and their assets and real property.

ii. De Facto Ownership/ Equitable Ownership

92. The allegations and exhibits in paragraphs 1 through 91 above are incorporated
herein.

93. Section 541(a)(1) defintes “property of the estate” as including “all legal or

equitable interests of the debtor in property.” 11 U.S.C. § 541(a)(1). Ownership rights in property

do not depend solely on formalities of title. A person may have an interest in property, and may

even be considered the de facto owner, although someone else has title. In re IFS Fin. Corp., 417

B.R. 419, 435 (Bankr. S.D. Tex. 2009) (J. Isgur) (citing Cohen v. Ulz (In re Ulz), 388 B.R. 865,

868 (Bankr. N.D. Ill 2008)). The true owner of property is measured by possession and control

rather than bare legal title. Southmark Corp. v. Grosz (In re Southmark Corp., 49 F.3d 1111, 1116-

17 (5th Cir. 1995). Where the debtor has exercised de facto ownership over assets, “mere circuitry

of arrangement will not save” such assets from being determined to be assets of the estate. Dean

v. Davis, 242 U.S. 438, 443 (1917).

94. Additionally, a debtor owns an equitable interest in property when the debtor uses

his funds to obtain assets, treats the assets as his own, and has the use and enjoyment of the assets.

FDIC v. Sullivan, 204 B.R. 919, 939 (Bankr. N.D. Tex. 1995) (internal citations omitted).

Similarly, control over property held in the name of another and transfers from that property to a

debtor’s family members or close associates also demonstrates equitable ownership. Id.

95. Here, Debtor has exercised de facto ownership and equitable ownership over the

Business Entities, their assets, and real property. For example, Debtor has utilized the Real

Property as collateral when obtaining financing and loans for his own personal benefit and profit.

EMERGENCY APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER
AND PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
Case 19-03434 Document 1 Filed in TXSB on 04/10/19 Page 26 of 40

96. Additionally, both before and after the Petition Date, Debtor exercised possession

and complete control over the numerous bank accounts for the Business Entities and had

“unfettered discretion” in deciding which of his creditors to pay and from which accounts to pay

them. In re IFS Fin. Corp., 669 F.3d 255, 263 (5th Cir. 2012) (citing Southmark v. Grosz (In re

Southmark), 49 F.3d 1111, 1116–17 (5th Cir. 1995)). Debtor has signature authority over

numerous accounts related to the Business Entities12 and regularly moved money among these

accounts absent oversight. Exhibit 6. Debtor would frequently write checks from bank accounts

related to the Doctors Hospital Entities for clearly personal and unrelated expenses, depending, in

the words of Ghouse, on “whichever account ha[d] funds available at the moment . . . .” Exhibit

11. As highlighted below, this partial listing of clearly personal and self-serving transactions

indicates Debtor enjoys the benefit from and treats as his own the Business Entities and their assets.

97. SRM Entities

 Transfers from SRM Entities for Debtor’s Personal Benefit:

o Between May 5, 2015 and November 27, 2015, at least $19,226.64


($9,613.32 prepetition and $7,209.99 post-petition) to MMAF Entities
for debt service on either 5622 Havenwoods or 5623 Havenwoods.
Exhibit 12.

o At least $1,889.30 pre-petition in slip and other fees to South Shore


Harbor Marina for Debtor’s boat. Exhibit 17.

 Transfers from SRM Entities for Debtor’s Personal Businesses:

o At least $141,889.77 for the purchase of the Event Entity and for the
purchase of the Bamwood Properties. Exhibit 13.

o At least $20,633.01 ($14,384.76 pre-petition, $6,248.25 post-petition)


to Event Entity for debt service of the Bamwood Properties. Exhibit 16.

o At least $8,100 in post-petition in political donations. Exhibit 17.

This signatory authority includes all bank accounts from which the transfers in paragraphs 97-101 originated.

o At least $13,750 post-petition in connection with Debtor’s development


of the Apartment Entity. Exhibit 14.

98. MMAF Entities

 Money that is due to be paid to the MMAF Entities is routinely paid to other
Business Entities instead. For instance, Debtor would direct money that is to be
paid to MMAF Entities to be paid instead to SRM Entities. See, e.g., Exhibit
15.

 Debtor repeatedly represents that he owns the following three assets in the name
of the MMAF Entities: 1) MMAF Ownership Interests, 2) 5622 Havenwoods,
and 3) 5623 Havenwoods. Exhibit 1. Some details of how these assets benefit
Debtor and how Debtor attempts to hide his true ownership is detailed below:

1) MMAF Ownership Interests:

o As of the Petition Date, through MMAF entities, Debtor held a 55%


interest in Laeeq Health Systems, LLC and 510 W Tidwell, LLC.
Exhibit 19; Exhibit 20. Laeeq Health Systems, LLC holds a 99%
interest as the limited partner in both Doctors Hospital 1997, L.P. and
Tidwell/Parkway Property Holdings, L.P. Exhibit 22, at 24. 510 W
Tidwell, LLC holds a 1% interest as the general partner in both Doctors
Hospital 1997, L.P. and Tidwell/Parkway Property Holdings, L.P.
Exhibit 22, at 24

o Debtor directed this percentage of interest be assigned to the MMAF


Entities in the acquisition of the Doctors Hospital Entities. Exhibit 21.

o Debtor identifies himself as the General Partner in signed documents


with financial institutions for Doctors Hospital Entities. Exhibit 5.

o Debtor uses his ownership and control of Doctors Hospital Entities to


obtain money to support a profligate lifestyle, obtain loans and expand
his business ventures while in Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

2) 5622 Havenwoods:

o Before and since the Petition Date, Debtor has resided and resides at this
address.

o On August 19, 2013, Mahvish, on behalf of MMAF Holdings, Inc.,


executed an agreed order foreclosing on the real property at 5622
Havenwoods. Exhibit 23. Raheel signed the Agreed Judgment,
because he was the “legal” owner. Confusingly, Raheel remained listed
as the “legal” owner until well after the Petition Date, even though title

had vested in Debtor-controlled MMAF Holdings, Inc. on August 19,


2013. Exhibit 24.

o On December 17, 2013, Mona, on behalf of MMAF Holdings, executed


a deed of trust securing a $206,000 loan collateralized by a lien on 5622
Havenwoods. Exhibit 25.13

o Debtor subsequently wrote in a January 21, 2014 email: “My house is


under company name MMAF [sic] the loan was made to company to
pay taxes and outstanding dues [sic]. Signed by Mona and me [sic].”
Exhibit 27, at 1.

o Both before and after the Petition Date, based on representations of


ownership of the Ownership Interests and 5622 Havenwoods, Debtor
consummated numerous business and personal transactions and
obtained almost $9 million in financing from those transactions.
Exhibit 28.

o After the Petition Date, Debtor caused 5622 Havenwoods Drive to


become encumbered by a promissory note in favor of David
Greenberg’s 421 Interests, Ltd. and later caused 5622 Havenwoods to
become encumbered by a promissory note in favor of Tech Brix.
Exhibit 40.

3) 5623 Havenwoods:

o After the Petition Date, Debtor used proceeds from property of the estate
to acquire 5623 Havenwoods in the name of the MMAF Entities and on
the same day transferred 5623 Havenwoods to 5921 Interests, Ltd.
Exhibit 29.

o Thereafter, Debtor caused 5623 Havenwoods to come into the


possession, custody, or control of Tech Brix. Exhibit 30. Multiple of
Debtor’s Family Members, including Jennifer, Raheel, Mahvish and
Mariya reside or resided at 5623 Havenwoods during the Bankruptcy
Case.

99. Apartment Entity

 Transfers from Apartment Entity for Debtor’s Personal Benefit:

13
The deed of trust and promissory notes dated December 17, 2013 refer to “MMAF Holdings, Inc.,” a Texas
corporation. Exhibits 25. Debtor and Mona’s prior entity, actually named M.M.A.F. Holdings, forfeited its Texas
corporate charter in 2007. MMAF Holdings is a similarly named Delaware entity controlled by Debtor. On
September 3, 2015, Debtor’s associate Erwin Wilbanks filed a document correcting the December 2013 deed of trust
and promissory note and substituting the Delaware entity named MMAF Holdings. Exhibit 26. The correction
document indicates that the original December 17, 2013 promissory note had been lost or destroyed. Id.

102. Based on the foregoing and without limitation, Trustee asks the Court find Debtor

is the de facto owner of and/or equitable owner of all or a substantial portion of the Business

Entities and their assets and real property.

iii. Alter Ego/Reverse-Veil Piercing

103. The allegations and exhibits in paragraphs 1 through 102 above are incorporated

herein.

104. Business Entities (except for the Citgo Entity) are an alter ego of Debtor because

(1) he organized and operated each of them as a “mere tool or business conduit” of himself and (2)

there is such unity between Debtor and the each of the Business Entities that “the separateness” of

each has ceased and failing to find an alter ego relationship would result in injustice. Richard

Nugent & CAO, Inc. v. Estate of Ellickson, 543 S.W.3d 243, 266 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.]

2018, no pet.).

105. The Fifth Circuit has recognized the following as indicia of an alter ego

relationship: (1) the degree to which corporate formalities have been followed and corporate and

individual property have been kept separately; (2) the amount of financial interest, ownership, and

control the individual maintains over the corporation; and (3) whether the corporation has been

used for personal purposes. Bollore S.A. v. Import Warehouse, Inc., 448 F.3d 317, 325 (5th Cir.

2006. Specific evidence of an alter ego relationship includes: (1) payment of alleged corporate

debts with personal checks or other commingling of funds; (2) representations by the individual

that he or she would financially back the corporation; (3) diversion of company profits for personal

use; (4) inadequate capitalization of the corporation; and (5) other inadequate separation of

corporate and personal assets. In re Schooler, No. 12–32312, 2013 WL 176139, at *4 (Bankr.

S.D. Tex. 2013) (Isgur, J.).

EMERGENCY APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER
AND PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
Case 19-03434 Document 1 Filed in TXSB on 04/10/19 Page 32 of 40

106. The Business Entities did not and do not follow corporate formalities. The Business

Entities did not and do not: (i) keep books and records, (ii) hold annual meetings, (iii) have

financial controls, (iv) abide by conflicted transaction provisions of their own company agreements

and (v) Debtor often acted beyond the authority of the Business Entities’ company agreements to

serve his own interests. Exhibit 46.

107. As detailed above, Debtor regularly commingled funds and diverted funds of the

Business Entities for personal use. There was and is no separation between the Business Entities’

assets and Debtors. In other instances, Debtor used personal funds or funds from other Business

Entities to pay the debt service, tax obligations and real estate transaction costs for other Business

Entities.

108. Debtor’s control over the Business Entities is demonstrated by his own, signed

personal financial statements, the superior authority he has in the Business Entities, Exhibit 46,

and his unfettered access to Business Entities’ bank accounts. Exhibit 6.

109. In multiple instances, Debtor served as a personal guarantor on loans taken by SRM

Entities, Doctors Hospital Entities, and the Event Entity—at least one of these guarantees occurred

while Debtor was in Chapter 7. Exhibit 45.

110. Debtor regularly undercapitalized the Business Entities to maximize the cash flow

at his disposal for personal gain. Exhibit 50.

111. As such, an alter ego finding is necessary to prevent injustice. Trustee asks the

Court to find the SRM Entities, MMAF Entities, Apartment Entity, Event Entity, Doctors Hospital

Entities, MOB Entities and Clinic Entities to be alter egos of Debtor and that Debtor’s interests in

such entities, along with such entities’ assets and real property, are property of the estate. This is

necessary to prevent Debtor from continuing to perpetrate fraud, evade existing legal obligations

and circumventing one or more statutes. SSP Partners v. Gladstrong Inv. (USA) Corp., 275 S.W.3d

444, 454–55 (Tex. 2008).

iv. Sham to Perpetrate a Fraud.

112. The allegations and exhibits in paragraphs 1 through 111 above are incorporated

herein.

113. Texas courts take a “flexible fact-specific approach” in determining what

constitutes a sham, but the quintessential scenario includes a debtor with unwanted obligations

who siphons off revenues, sells assets, or otherwise attempts to avoid paying his debts, such as by

starting up a new business. Love v. State, 972 S.W.2d 114, 120 (Tex. App.—Austin 1998, pet.

denied). Establishing “injustice or unfairness” to the Trustee and Debtor’s creditors is sufficient

to warrant application of the sham to perpetuate a fraud doctrine. Sparling v. Doyle, EP-13-CV-

00323-DCG, 2014 WL 12489990, at *7 (W.D. Tex. Oct. 23, 2014); Permian Petroleum Co. v.

Petroleos Mexicanos, 934 F.2d 635, 643 (5th Cir. 1991). Neither fraud nor intent to defraud need

be shown as a prerequisite to disregarding the corporate entity as a sham; it is sufficient if

recognizing the separate corporate existence would bring about an inequitable result. Castleberry

v. Branscum, 721 S.W.2d 270, 275 (Tex. 1986).

114. Here, in using the Business Entities, the Real Estate and the Ownership Interests as

a sham to perpetrate a fraud, Debtor engaged in constructive fraud, which has been defined as “the

breach of some legal or equitable duty which, irrespective of moral guilt, the law declares

fraudulent because of its tendency to deceive others, to violate confidence, or to injure public

interests.” Archer v. Griffith, 390 S.W.2d 735, 740 (Tex. 1964). In addition to all other facts

pleaded herein, Trustee’s extensive discovery and investigation reveals that before and after the

Petition Date, Debtor used the Business Entities as a sham to perpetrate a fraud. For example,

Debtor appears to pick whichever of the MMAF Entities would meet his needs at a given time—

to the consternation of third parties and to obscure his true assets. Exhibit 47. In other instances,

third-party financial institutions have expressed concerns regarding glaring inconsistencies in the

ownership information of company agreements. In response, Debtor either walked away from a

deal or amended the ownership information as directed by counsel for those third-party financial

institutions.

115. Debtor ran SRM Entities, MMAF Entities, Event Entity, Apartment Entity and

Doctors Hospital Entities for the benefit of himself and Debtor’s Family Members. After the

Petition Date, Debtor continued to treat the Business Entities as extensions of himself and used

property of the estate to acquire MOB Entities and Clinic Entities. Having defrauded multiple

creditors out of millions of dollars, Debtor has ample motivation to obscure his true assets in the

names of the Business Entities, Debtor’s Family Members and Debtor’s Associates.

116. Trustee possesses evidence that Debtor, Mahvish, Jennifer and Raheel have been

consistently involved in SRM Entities, MMAF Entities, Event Entity, Apartment Entity, Doctors

Hospital Entities, MOB Entities and Clinic Entities. Debtor directs the actions of Mahvish,

Jennifer and Raheel and they benefit financially from Debtor’s enterprise.

117. In light of Debtor’s conduct, Trustee asks the court to find that Debtor engaged in

a sham to perpetrate a fraud and that the Court disregard the corporate from of SRM Entities,

MMAF Entities, Event Entity, Apartment Entity, Doctors Hospital Entities, MOB Entities and

Clinic Entities and hold that their assets and real property are assets of the estate subject to

administration by the Trustee.

II. Turnover—11 U.S.C. § 542(a)

118. The allegations and exhibits in paragraphs 1 through 117 above are incorporated

herein.

119. Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 542(a), an entity that is not the Trustee and that is in

possession “of property that the trustee may use, sell, or lease under [11 U.S.C. §] 363” must turn

over and account for such property to the trustee, “unless such property is of inconsequential value

or benefit to the estate.” 11 U.S.C. § 542(a).

120. To the extent the Ownership Interests, Business Entities, Real Property and their

related assets are not in the possession custody or control of the Trustee and are adjudicated as

Debtor’s and subject to the Trustee’s administration in the Bankruptcy Case, the Trustee seeks an

order for the immediate turnover and accounting of such assets to the Trustee.

III. Avoidance of Post-Petition Transfers—11 U.S.C. § 549

121. The allegations and exhibits in paragraphs 1 through 120 above are incorporated

herein.

122. Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 549 the trustee may avoid a transfer of property of the

estate—that occurs after the commencement of the case.

123. To the extent any of the Ownership Interests, Business Entities, Real Property or

other assets adjudicated as property of the estate and subject to the Trustee’s administration are in

the possession of Debtor’s Family Members, Debtor’s Business Associates, Parker Transfer

Entities, or Tech Brix as a result of post-petition transfers, such transfers were made without

authority. The Trustee asks the Court to void any such transfers.

APPLICATION FOR A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AND PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION

124. The allegations and exhibits in paragraphs 1 through 123 above are incorporated

herein.

125. The Trustee seeks a TRO against Debtor, his agents, his assigns, Debtor’s Family

Members, Debtor’s Business Associates and any of the Business Entities (the “Enjoined Parties”)

which:

1) freezes14 both, the transfer of or voluntary imposition of liens on

(i) the above-described Real Property, and

(ii) the ownership interests in the Business Entities (the “Ownership Interests”);

2) prohibits both

(i) any transfer of any asset of any of the Business Entities in excess of $5,000

except in the ordinary course of business as allowed by the Court, and

(ii) the alteration, deletion, destruction of any document and/or electronically stored

information (as defined in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure) or any account of

any of the Enjoined Parties, including communications concerning the Business

Entities;

3) requires Debtor to give the Trustee and his attorneys and agents continuing, real-time

access to the accounting systems and bank information for all the Business Entities in order to

allow the Trustee to monitor those accounts and ensure compliance with this restraining order and

preliminary injunction.

14
For purposes of clarity, “freezes” means that the Enjoined Parties cannot sell, trade, barter, exchange, convey,
rename, dissolve, involve in any business transaction, collateralize, involve in any loan, transfer, hide, abscond,
liquidate, damage, destroy or in any way affect the financial condition of the Real Property and Ownership Interests.
PLAINTIFF’S VERIFIED ORIGINAL COMPLAINT AND Page 36 of 40
EMERGENCY APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER
AND PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
Case 19-03434 Document 1 Filed in TXSB on 04/10/19 Page 37 of 40

126. The Fifth Circuit utilizes the traditional four-part standard for determining whether

a bankruptcy court should issue an injunction:

1) a substantial likelihood that the movant will prevail on the merits;

2) a substantial threat that the movant will suffer irreparable injury if the injunction is not
granted;

3) a finding that the threatened injury to the movant outweighs the threatened harm an
injunction may cause the party opposing the injunction; and

4) a finding that granting the injunction will not disserve the public interest.

In re Zale Corp., 62 F.3d 746, 765 (5th Cir. 1995).

127. In the present case, the Trustee meets all four standards. As for prevailing on the

merits, the Ownership Interests, Business Entities, and Real Property, to the extent described

above, ultimately belong to Debtor and are property of the bankruptcy estate. After extensive

discovery and analysis of Rule 2004 examinations, bank accounts, and business transactions, the

Trustee marshalled evidence that Debtor owns the Ownership Interests. Indeed, even Debtor

himself claims he owns them. Exhibit 1, at 14–29.

128. Second, there is a substantial threat that the Estate will suffer irreparable injury if

the TRO is not granted. As earlier proceedings found, Debtor elected to destroy evidence instead

of produce it in response to the Trustee’s requests and the Court’s Orders. Exhibit 3. Absent the

TRO, the Trustee believes that the Defendants will act to further interfere with the Trustee’s ability

to administer the bankruptcy estate, including by destroying, or directing others to destroy,

evidence material to the administration of the estate. For example, the Trustee has recently

discovered evidence that Debtor’s Family Members, specifically Mahvish and Jennifer, both

deleted email accounts subject to discovery in this bankruptcy case within 24 hours of learning

that Debtor was being held in custody of the U.S. Marshals for contempt after the Court found

Debtor deleted information and evidence sought by the Trustee. Exhibit 49.

AND PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
Case 19-03434 Document 1 Filed in TXSB on 04/10/19 Page 38 of 40

129. Moreover, as evidenced by the demolition of the improved structure at 5638

Selinsky Road, Houston Texas 77048 during this Bankruptcy Case, the Trustee fears further loss

of value if the TRO is not granted. Also, given the frequency of transactions orchestrated by

Debtor during the Bankruptcy Case, Trustee fears the Real Property will be transferred to third-

parties, pledged, or encumbered upon Defendants learning of this Complaint. Trustee also fears

that Debtor, who has spent thousands of dollars on foreign travel during the Bankruptcy Case and

who has multiple connections with Pakistan and India, may abscond with estate assets beyond the

reach of Court if the financial limitations sought in the TRO are not granted.

130. Trustee does not seek to inhibit the normal operations of the Doctors Hospital

Entities and the services they provide to the local community. Instead, Trustee seeks to inhibit the

abnormal activities of Debtor through the Doctors Hospital Entities that inure solely to his personal

benefit, gain, and profit and to prevent further loss to the estate.

131. Third, the balancing of the interests plainly favors the Trustee. The injunctive relief

simply preserves the status quo. All parties rights are adequately protected.

132. Finally, the public interest strongly favors the issuance of the injunction. The

Trustee seeks only to fulfill his obligations (and ensure the estate’s rights) under applicable law.

Public policy supports the TRO, so that the Trustee can administer the estate in attempt to satisfy

the claims of creditors without further interference from Debtor.

BOND

133. Given the nature of Debtor’s conduct demonstrated herein, the short time period

for which the Enjoined Parties will be restrained in light of the extensive discovery and the cost

the Trustee incurred as a result of Debtor’s conduct to date, the Trustee respectfully requests that

the Court, in its discretion, waive, or set a minimal requirement for any bond required in connection

with the issuance of the requested injunctive relief.

REQUEST FOR ATTORNEY’S FEES

134. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2202, should any one of Debtor’s Family Members or

Debtor’s Associates contest the Trustee’s ownership and assert an interest in any of the Business

Entities, the Trustee seeks an award of attorney’s fees against that person. The Trustee has

significant reason to believe that any such contention would be a continuation of Debtor’s scheme

to hide his assests and pursued in bad faith.15 If any of Debtor’s Family Members or Debtor’s

Associates files a pleading with this Court stating that he or she does not assert an interest in the

Business Entities, the Trustee seeks no monetary relief against such person.

PRAYER

135. The Trustee requests (i) the entry of a declaratory judgment as set forth above; (ii)

turnover of estate property as set forth above, (iii) avoidance of post-petition transfers, and (iv)

the award of attorney’s fees and costs as set forth above; and (v) such other just relief including

the substantive consolidation of the Business Entities in evaluating the foregoing claims for relief.
