As set forth below, the Court concludes that none of the Defendant’s new arguments and
proposals disturb its conclusion that the Defendant poses a risk of flight and that there are no
combination of conditions that can reasonably assure her appearance. Thus, for substantially the
same reasons that the Court denied the Defendant’s first and second motions for release, the
Court DENIES the Defendant’s third motion for release on bail.

I. Background
On July 14, 2020, this Court held a hearing regarding the Defendant’s request for bail.
After a thorough consideration of all of the Defendant’s arguments and of the factors set forth in
18 U.S.C. § 3142(g), the Court concluded that no conditions or combination of conditions could
reasonably assure the Defendant’s appearance, determining as a result that the Defendant was a
flight risk and that detention without bail was warranted under 18 U.S.C. § 3142(e)(1). The
Defendant has been incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center since that time.

The Defendant renewed her motion for release on bail on December 8, 2020. The Court
again denied the Defendant’s motion. In doing so, the Court explained that none of the
Defendant’s new arguments materially impacted its conclusion that the Defendant posed a risk of
flight. It noted that the charges, which carry a presumption of detention, are serious and carry
lengthy terms of imprisonment if convicted; the evidence proffered by the Government,
including multiple corroborating and corroborated witnesses, remained strong; the Defendant’s
substantial resources and foreign ties created considerable uncertainty and opportunities for
