Summary

This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 21-770, dated April 1, 2021) where a defense attorney argues against the government's claim that the defendant is a flight risk for changing her contact information. The attorney explains that the defendant changed her email and phone number because she was hacked and received 'strange e-mails' after the Second Circuit unsealed civil case documents—revealing her personal data—around the time of Jeffrey Epstein's arrest in August 2019. The attorney asserts she kept the hacked phone to preserve evidence for ongoing civil litigation.

1 hiding. She is a risk of flight because she changed her e-mail
2 and phone number. That's what we heard in the opening brief.
3 Well, what happened? Something the government, frankly, should
4 know about, because it was certainly public, last year, in a
5 civil litigation, in August of 2019, right around the time of
6 the arrest of Mr. Epstein, the Second Circuit ruled that
7 certain records in one of the civil cases should be unsealed
8 and released to the public. That was done. There was no stay
9 at the moment. The demand was issued, and the documents were
10 released. Certain of those documents were supposed to be
11 redacted and sometimes they were and sometimes they were not,
12 documents including e-mail addresses, Social Security numbers,
13 names, phone numbers, the sorts of things your Honor, I am
14 sure, has to deal with all the time in these kinds of
15 situations.
16 But as it turned out, for whatever reason, some of the
17 documents were not redacted and her e-mail address was
18 revealed. Shortly after that, she starts getting strange
19 e-mails. Her phone is hacked, and she had to change e-mails
20 and change the account.
21 Now she has got a phone that has legal materials on
22 it, correspondence with her counsel in civil litigation that's
23 been hacked, so she keeps it. Why does she keep it? Because
24 she is in civil litigation. Her obligation is to keep
25 evidence, not destroy it, and is advised that a way to keep it
