Summary
This document is page 17 of a court order filed on December 30, 2020, denying bail conditions for defendant Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN). The text details the defendant's proposed bail package, including $8 million in property, $500,000 in cash, and bonds co-signed by friends and family, supported by a financial report from UK firm Macalvins analyzing her assets from 2015-2020. Despite the submission of new financial data and verification by fraud examiners, the Court remains unpersuaded that the package reasonably assures her appearance.

and secured by approximately $8 million in property and $500,000 in cash, along with six
additional bonds—five co-signed by the Defendant’s friends and family members and the sixth
posted by the security company that would provide security services to the Defendant if she were
granted bail and transferred to home confinement. See Def. Mot. at 2. At the initial hearing, the
Court noted that the opaqueness of the Defendant’s finances rendered it difficult to set financial
bail conditions that could reasonably assure her appearance in court. The financial information
that the Defendant presented to the Court at the initial bail hearing was undisputedly incomplete,
and as the Court noted, the Court lacked “a clear picture of Ms. Maxwell’s finances and the
resources available to her.” Tr. at 86–87.

The Defendant has now presented to the Court what is perhaps a more thorough report on
her finances prepared by Macalvins, an accounting firm in the United Kingdom. Macalvins
analyzed the Defendant’s assets and finances for the past five years, basing its analysis on,
among other things, bank statements, tax returns, and FBAR filings, providing a summary of
the assets held by the Defendant and her spouse as well as the assets held in trust for the
benefit of the Defendant for the period stemming from 2015 to 2020. See Def. Mot., Ex. O.
In addition, the Defendant retained a Certified Fraud Examiner and a former IRS Special
Agent, who reviewed the Macalvins report and the underlying documents and determined that
report accurately represents the assets held by the Defendant and her spouse. See Def. Mot., Ex.
P. The Defendant’s new bail proposal is based on the numbers derived from the Macalvins
report.
