Dkt. 14 at 18. The Court has advised Defense counsel that this “cursory” asset statement is insufficient to support a bail package for the reasons, among others, that it is not verified and does not show expenses, indebtedness, or liabilities. Law enforcement has informed the Government that a safe in the Defendant’s New York home very recently contained “more than $70,000 in cash . . . 48 loose diamond stones, ranging in size from approximately | carat to 2.38 carats, as well as a large diamond ring. The Government is currently unaware of whether the Defendant maintains similar [amounts] of cash and/or jewels at his multiple properties, or in other locations. Such ready cash and loose diamonds are consistent with the capability to leave the jurisdiction at a moment’s notice.” Dkt. 23 at 3. The Defendant’s vast wealth and influential contacts have provided him with the means to pay individuals to assist him in unlawful endeavors, including potentially fleeing the jurisdiction. In the past, “the Defendant worked with others, including employees and associates who facilitated his exploitation of minors, by among other things, contacting victims and scheduling their sexual encounters with the defendant, both in New York and in Florida.” Dkt. 11, Ex. 1 at 2. 26 DOJ-OGR-00000497
