1 assets, and then reported $22 million in assets in support of
2 the December 2020 bail application. The claim now of an
3 inability to pay the fine, as I understand it, at the same time
4 in which the defense has not provided documentation of her
5 marriage or the purported pending divorce settlement. So I am
6 unpersuaded based on the balance of facts that the defendant is

25 discuss and time to get through. So we'll take a 30-minute
