Summary
This document is a legal filing by the government arguing against a defendant's request for bail. The government contends that the defendant's offer to renounce her foreign citizenships in France and the United Kingdom is not a reliable guarantee against her fleeing the country, as the renunciation could be legally challenged later and does not prevent flight to a third country without an extradition treaty. The filing cites precedent from a similar case (United States v. Cohen) to argue that such offers should be given little weight and that the court's prior decision to detain the defendant should stand.

Quote #5
"Defendant’s offers to turn in his passports, to ‘renounce’ his Israeli citizenship, and have someone ‘instruct’ the Israeli embassy to deny new documents or travel authorizations to defendant, as well as his offer to waive extradition—assuming he flees overseas at some point—do not sufficiently assure the Court that defendant is not still a flight risk. Defendant offers no authority about the real impact of these offers or whether they are enforceable in Israel if defendant were to flee there."Source
— The Court in United States v. Cohen
(A quote from a 2010 case used as precedent to argue that the current defendant's offers are insufficient to mitigate flight risk.)
