C. Case 21-58, Document 58-1, 04/12/2021, 3075763, Page9 of 25 The Second Bail Application 16. On December 8, 2020, Maxwell renewed her request for bail, presenting a revised bail package with additional financial restrictions. (Ex. E). After considering multiple written submissions (Ex. E, F, G), Judge Nathan denied Maxwell’s application in a written opinion (Ex. H). 17. Judge Nathan found that the arguments presented “either were made at the initial bail hearing or could have been made then” and the new information “only solidifies the Court’s view that [Maxwell] plainly poses a risk of flight and that no combination of conditions can ensure her appearance.” (Ex. H at 1-2). Judge Nathan explained: (Id. at 2). the charges, which carry a presumption of detention, are serious and carry lengthy terms of imprisonment if convicted; the evidence proffered by the Government, including multiple corroborating and _ corroborated witnesses, is strong; the Defendant has substantial resources and foreign ties (including citizenship in a country that does not extradite its citizens); and the Defendant, who lived in hiding and apart from the family to whom she now asserts important ties, has not been fully candid about her financial situation. 18. Judge Nathan rejected Maxwell’s claim that the Government overstated the strength of its case at the bail hearing, finding that Maxwell “too easily discredits the witness testimony.” (/d. at 9-10).
