Summary
This document is a letter from the U.S. Attorney's Office to Judge Richard Berman arguing for the pretrial detention of Jeffrey Epstein. The Government outlines Epstein's extreme flight risk due to his wealth (over $500 million), international ties (Paris, US Virgin Islands), and access to private aircraft (noting over 20 international flights since 2018). It also details the danger he poses to the community, citing the recent discovery of lewd photos of minors in his home and a history of witness intimidation, including specific wire transfers made to potential witnesses following negative press coverage in late 2018.
