Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript filed on August 22, 2022, for Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell). Defense attorney Mr. Everdell argues that a 'bequest' listed in the defendant's financial affidavit should not be considered an asset for the purpose of calculating fines because the source estate is in bankruptcy and paying out victims' claims, making the asset 'tenuous.' The Court questions the status of the bequest and asks Ms. Moe (likely the prosecution) for a response.

1 fine. I can't quite tell from the papers whether -- I know you
2 say the bequest is likely to be contested. What is the current
3 status of the bequest?
4 MR. EVERDELL: Your Honor, my understanding is that
5 the document says what it says, and the estate is undergoing
6 bankruptcy proceedings. I don't believe there is any -- this
7 issue has been addressed because I think the estate is still
8 dealing with victims' claims and other claims against the
9 estate. But because it's in bankruptcy, I assume that this
10 will be contested, and we don't know if there will be any money
11 left at the end of that proceeding to honor the bequest. So
12 that's one of the many reasons why I think this is such a
13 tenuous asset that it shouldn't be considered for purposes of
14 fines.
15 THE COURT: It's listed as an asset in the financial
16 affidavit, is it not?
17 MR. EVERDELL: It is, your Honor, because we felt we
18 wanted to fully disclose everything we know about, and we do
19 know about simply because we were produced that document. We
20 didn't know about it before. We knew about it because we got
21 it in discovery, and we saw it was there, so we felt in good
22 faith, we had to list it or at least disclose it, but I don't
23 think it should be considered for purposes of fine.
24 THE COURT: Ms. Moe, do you want to respond to that?
25 MS. MOE: Your Honor, I don't have additional
