SDNY COURTHOUSE, August 20 – There was a proceeding in BSG Resources (Guinea) v. George Soros, et al., on February 5, 2021 and Inner City Press covered and live tweeted it, below.
On August 17, Soros' lawyers wrote to demand deposition of Beny Steinmetz and Dag Cramer. Plaintiff's lawyers have replied that the Soros demand is improper as it was not prefaced by any meet and confer.
Judge Keenan issued an "ORDER denying as moot [274] Letter Motion to Compel... Should Mr. Cramer and Mr. Steinmetz fail to appear for their 30(b)(1) depositions as ordered previously, they will be in violation of a Court Order, and Defendants may move for sanctions and other relief, as appropriate."
But on August 18, Dag Cramer through counsel wrote in to say he never said he agreed to be deposed, and cannot and will not do so on August 24.
On August 20, Cramer's counsel wrote that "Mr. Cramer is willing to submit to a voluntary deposition on September 23 or 30...through Zoom."

From Feb 5, 2021: Plaintiiff's counsel: There were several presidents of Guinea during the time period, until George Soros got involved with the new president and changed all the rights... Soros or him minions told us with sufficient money or bribes we could keep our rights.
Plaintiff's counsel: Judge Keenan correct described our allegations as George Soros corrupting the process in Guinea. Our claims are against Soros, not the government of Guinea.
Judge Wang: Is it pronounced Vah-lay or Vail? A: Vah-lay...
Judge Wang: And when was what you call the kangaroo court?
Plaintiff's counsel: Sorry, it was a kangaroo administrative tribunal.... George Soros came on the scene with President Conde

Soros' counsel: We disagree with Judge Keenan's decision. But here we are.
Judge Wang directs the parties to do directed discovery then submit a status letter.
