Summary
This legal document, part of a court filing, argues that the defendant, Mr. Epstein, is an extraordinary flight risk. It cites his vast wealth, including an $8.6 million Paris residence, ownership of private jets used for frequent international travel, and limited family ties to the U.S. The document also reveals that a recent search of his New York City home uncovered an expired Austrian passport with his photo but another name, listing a residence in Saudi Arabia, further heightening concerns about his potential to flee.

Case 1:19-cr-00490-RMB Document 32 Filed 07/18/19 Page 24 of 33
sex offender in New York and a registered sex offender in Florida (Level I) and the Virgin Islands (Level I). Mr. Epstein is 66 and is reported to be a self made multi-millionaire. He did not graduate from college. Mr. Epstein’s vast wealth, including substantial liquid assets, multiple residences, private plane(s), a $8,672,823 residence in Paris, France, and relatively limited family ties to the United States in the sense that he is single with no children and his parents are deceased. He has a brother who Defense counsel asserts has offered to serve as a guarantor for Mr. Epstein by pledging his home in West Palm Beach, Florida. (The Court notes that the Pretrial Services Report, dated July 12, 2019, states that “[t]he defendant stated he maintains minimal contact with his brother, Mark Epstein, and that his exact location is unknown at this time.” Pretrial Services Report at 2.)
Mr. Epstein engages in extensive overseas travel often relying on his own plane(s). The Government argues persuasively that “there is an extraordinary risk of flight, particularly given the defendant’s exorbitant wealth, his ownership of and access to private planes capable of international travel, and his significant international ties. Indeed, the arrest of the defendant occurred when he arrived in the United States on his private jet after having returned from a multi-week stay abroad.” Dkt. 11, Ex. 1 at 1. “[I]n the past 18 months alone, the defendant has traveled abroad, via private jet, either into or out of the country on approximately more than 20 occasions.” Id. at 3.
In a recent search of Defendant’s New York City home, law enforcement seized an expired Austrian passport bearing Mr. Epstein’s photo but not his name. (The passport is in another name.) The Austrian passport lists residence in Saudi Arabia. According to the Government, Defense counsel declined to respond when asked by the Government if the
