Summary
Defense counsel Marc Fernich writes to Judge Berman to supplement Jeffrey Epstein's bail request, arguing against the government's stance that Epstein's wealth creates an irrebuttable presumption for detention. The letter proposes a forensic accounting by Joel Podgor, notes that Epstein's brother Mark is willing to secure a bond with his >$100 million net worth, clarifies Epstein's sex offender registration status in New Mexico, defends against claims regarding an expired Austrian passport, and argues that Epstein's return to the US despite media pressure proves he is not a flight risk.
