Prosecutors, arguing against bail for Jeffrey Epstein, say he tried to buy off witnesses.
Accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein paid a total of $350,000 to two potential witnesses in the new case in New York against the wealthy financier, federal prosecutors say.
His attorneys had argued that the multi-millionaire should remain free on bond while awaiting trial, using his Manhattan mansion and his private jet as collateral. But prosecutors responded Friday that Epstein should be held without bail due to his serious threat as a flight risk. The memo alleges that late last year Epstein wired $100,000 from a trust account to a person who had been named in the 2008 case as a possible co-conspirator of Epstein's, and then three days later wired $250,000 to another suspected co-conspirator.
