Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 21-770, dated April 1, 2021) recording an argument against granting bail to the defendant (identified by case number as Ghislaine Maxwell). The speaker argues that the defendant has been untruthful about her finances, claiming ignorance of her own wealth ('millions of dollars'), and poses a flight risk involving potential foreign travel documents. The prosecution explicitly compares her situation to the case of Jeffrey Epstein, citing Judge Berman's decision to deny Epstein bail based on flight risk and dangerousness.
