Summary
This legal document excerpt details Judge Nathan's reasoning for denying bail to the defendant, Maxwell. The judge found a significant discrepancy between the $3.5 million in assets Maxwell declared in July 2020 and a later estimate of her and her spouse's net worth at $22.5 million. This, along with an insufficient bail proposal, led the judge to conclude Maxwell demonstrated a lack of candor and remained a significant flight risk.

"In sum, the evidence of a lack of candor is, if anything, stronger now than in July 2020, as it is clear to the Court that the Defendant’s representations to Pretrial Services were woefully incomplete.

Judge Nathan highlighted that in July 2020 Maxwell represented to Pretrial Services that she possessed around $3.5 million in assets, but in connection with her renewed request for bail presented a report on her finances that estimated the net worth of Maxwell and her spouse to be approximately $22.5 million as of October 2020. (Id. at 15). Judge Nathan found that the difference “makes it unlikely that the misrepresentation was the result of the Defendant’s misestimation rather than misdirection.” (Id. at 15-16).
