In Guinea Mine Case Soros Demands Dag Cramer Deposition But He Says Never Agreed

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

SDNY COURTHOUSE, August 18 – 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 now on August 18, Dag Cramer through counsel has written it to say he never said he agreed to be deposed, and cannot and will not do so on August 24. So now what?

Watch this site.

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: BSG is affiliated with Beny Steinmetz. They began under a military regime. Alpha Conde was elected in 2010. Under him, an administrative tribunal found there had been bribes to the fourth wife of a previous president.  

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.

The case is BSG Resources (Guinea) Limited et al v. Soros et al., 17-cv-2726 (Keenan / Wang)
