1 originally without prejudice obviously for precisely the
2 proceeding we are having, but it sounded like you were
3 suggesting that her current detention was in some way by design
4 to prevent you from providing a full picture of her financial
5 situation. Is that the implication you are making?
6 MR. COHEN: No, I am not saying that, your Honor. I
7 am not going that far. What I am saying is, when you have a
8 client who will voluntary surrender, who is staying in the
9 country despite an investigation, and the government instead

12 COVID crisis and the other factors your Honor has pointed out
13 in Stephens and in Williams-Bethea, and so it is very hard for

23 approving that -- the government is saying that it needs at
24 least until November to complete all discovery, including
25 electronic discovery. They have told us that there are two
