Defense counsel Marc Fernich writes to Judge Berman to supplement Jeffrey Epstein's bail request, arguing that the government is incorrectly using Epstein's wealth to create an irrebuttable presumption of detention. The letter highlights that Epstein's brother, Mark, is willing to pledge his >$100 million net worth to secure bond, disputes the government's characterization of an expired Austrian passport, and clarifies Epstein's sex offender registration status in New Mexico. The defense also argues that Epstein did not flee despite intense media pressure in late 2018 and offers a forensic accounting of his finances.
This document is a supplemental letter from Jeffrey Epstein's defense counsel to Judge Richard Berman arguing for bail. The letter attempts to rebut government claims regarding flight risk, offering Epstein's brother Mark (net worth >$100M) as a bond co-signer and proposing a forensic accounting of Epstein's finances by Joel Podgor. It also addresses the expired Austrian passport (claiming it was for protection against hijacking), New Mexico sex offender registration (claiming it wasn't required), and payments to associates (claiming they were employees, not paid-off witnesses).
This document is the final signature page (page 9 of 9) of a legal filing submitted on July 16, 2019, in Case 1:19-cr-00490-RMB. Attorneys Marc Fernich, Martin Weintraub, and Reid Weingarten address Judge Richard M. Berman, thanking the court and referencing an upcoming appearance scheduled for 'Thursday' (likely July 18, 2019). The document includes a standard electronic signature block and an ECF copy notation.
