Summary
This document is a letter from the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York to Judge Richard Berman, arguing strongly for the pretrial detention of Jeffrey Epstein. The government contends that Epstein presents an extreme flight risk due to his vast wealth (estimated at over $500 million), private jet, and international ties (residences in Paris and Virgin Islands), and poses a danger to the community as a 'serial sexual predator' with a history of witness manipulation. The letter rejects Epstein's proposed bail package—which included house arrest with private security—as inadequate, citing his ability to flee and the severity of the charges which carry a potential life sentence.
