A legal letter from attorney Marc Fernich to Judge Richard Berman defending Jeffrey Epstein regarding a foreign passport found in his possession. The defense argues the passport, which bore a non-Jewish name, was given to Epstein by a friend for protection against hijacking and was never actually used for travel. The letter asserts Epstein is solely a US citizen and requests the original document be brought to court for inspection.

Defense counsel Marc Fernich writes to Judge Berman to supplement Jeffrey Epstein's bail request, arguing against the government's stance that Epstein's wealth creates an irrebuttable presumption for detention. The letter proposes a forensic accounting by Joel Podgor, notes that Epstein's brother Mark is willing to secure a bond with his >$100 million net worth, clarifies Epstein's sex offender registration status in New Mexico, defends against claims regarding an expired Austrian passport, and argues that Epstein's return to the US despite media pressure proves he is not a flight risk.

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).
