Genius Group Limited (the “Company”) is providing the following legal update as to the status of its Appeal Case with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (Case No: 25-630) regarding the Preliminary Injunction (“PI”) in aid of arbitration previously imposed on the Company by the Southern District Court of New York (“SDNY”) which has been stayed by the Appeal Court (“the Court”) pending the hearing.
Following attorneys King & Spalding citing “irreconcilable differences” and withdrawing as counsel for LZG International (“LZGI”), Michael Thomas Moe (“Moe”) and Peter Ritz (“Ritz”, and collectively the “Defendants”) in the Company’s arbitration case, in the Company’s SDNY case, in the Company’s Appeal Case and in the fraud case brought against the Defendants by LZGI shareholders in Florida, the Court stayed all filing deadlines until July 8, 2025 to allow time for the Defendants to obtain new counsel.
No new counsel appeared for the Defendants by the July 8, 2025 deadline, and on July 16, 2025, the Court ordered that LZGI be deemed in default and therefore will not be permitted to submit a brief in the case, except by permission of the Court.
In the same order, the Court lifted the stay of the filing deadlines and gave the Company the deadline of August 15, 2025 to submit its opening brief. The Court also gave Moe and Ritz 60 days from the filing of the opening brief to file any response brief, and a further 30 days for the Company to file a reply brief.
Notably, the PI in aid of arbitration that is the subject of the Company’s appeal case was filed by LZGI, who is now in default. The remaining appellees, Moe and Ritz, were not a party to the PI and are no longer named parties in the arbitration after the Company filed a RICO case against Moe and Ritz and applied to remove them as parties in the arbitration.
