Summary
This legal document outlines the financial assurances provided for Ghislaine Maxwell's bail application. It details multiple bonds pledged by various unnamed sureties, including one for $3.5 million representing nearly all of that person's assets, and an unprecedented $1 million bond from a security company. The document argues that these significant financial risks, taken by family, friends, and a business associate with a long-standing relationship, demonstrate a strong belief that Ms. Maxwell is not a flight risk.

(Id.). Nevertheless, she has “no hesitation” posting her home because she knows “in every fibre of [her] being” that Ms. Maxwell “will never try to flee.” (Id.).
Similarly, another surety who has agreed to sign a $3.5 million bond writes:
This amount represents the value of effectively all of my assets, including my home [REDACTED]. If I lost these assets because Ghislaine violated the conditions of her release, I would be financially ruined. I make this pledge without reservation because I know that Ghislaine will remain in the United States to face the charges against her.
(Ex. F). Two other sureties, one of whom is a U.S. citizen and resident, will post cash bonds in the amount of $25,000, and another will post $2,000 in cash, which are significant pledges for these individuals.
In addition to these bonds, the security company that will provide security services to Ms. Maxwell upon her transfer into home confinement has agreed to post a $1 million bond in support of her bail application. In our collective experience as defense counsel, we are not aware of a previous example where a security company has posted a bond for a defendant. The head of the security company has confirmed that they have never done this for a defendant in the past but are willing to do so here because of his company’s “long-standing relationship with Ms. Maxwell” and because he is “confident that she will not try to flee.” (Ex. S).
In sum, these bonds reflect the depth of support that Ms. Maxwell has from her family and friends, who are risking their livelihoods, their safety, and their ability to live without constant media harassment to support her. (See Ex. B) (“Absolutely anyone who dares to put their head above the parapet so to speak, to … support Ghislaine personally, gets it shot off immediately amid a hail of social vilification and malignancy and reputational slaughtering.”). Ms. Maxwell would never destroy those closest to her by fleeing, after they have risked so much to support her.
