(Dkt. No. 100 at 19-20). Indeed, in rejecting the defendant's offer in the Second Bail Motion to execute anticipatory extradition waivers, the Court noted, among other things, \"the likelihood that any extradition would be a difficult and lengthy process.\" (Dec. Op. at 13). The Court further noted that the \"likelihood that the Defendant would be able to frustrate any extradition requests—even if she were correct that she would be unable to stop extradition entirely—weighs strongly in favor of detention.\" (Id.). That statement remains true even if the face of the defendant's newest offer to renounce her foreign citizenship.\n\nAs this Court previously found, the defendant has substantial international ties, familial and personal connections abroad, and owns at least one foreign property of significant value. (Dec. Op. at 10-11). The defendant's alleged willingness to renounce her foreign citizenship should not fundamentally alter the Court's conclusions.\n\n2. The Court Should Reject the Defendant's Proposed Monitorship Condition\n\nNext, the defendant has offered to place a portion of her and her spouse's assets into a new account that \"will be monitored by a retired federal District Court judge and former United States Attorney who will function as asset monitor and will have co-signing authority over the account.\" (Mot. at 2). This proposed condition—the details of which are vague—is insufficient to ensure that the defendant appears in Court.\n\nIt first bears noting that the defendant's finances—and her candor with the Court about those finances—is not an issue of first impression. Significantly absent from the defendant's Motion is any attempt to address the Court's determination that the defendant's \"lack of candor raises significant concerns as to whether the Court has now been provided a full and accurate picture of her finances and as to the Defendant's willingness to abide by any set of conditions of release.\" (Dec. Op. at 16). That is critical because the value of any proposed monitorship would depend entirely on the monitor having a completely accurate picture of the defendant's finances and access to all of her accounts and sources of wealth. Given the Court's concerns about the defendant's candor, the Court should hesitate before trusting the defendant to be transparent with a monitor under her employ.\n\nIn any event, even if the Court were to accept the defendant's representations about her assets at face value, the defendant's proposal would leave the defendant with significant assets unrestrained. In particular, the defendant's proposal does not in any way restrain her $2 million townhouse in London, which she could live in or sell to support herself. Although the defendant asserts that the monitor would oversee any account into which the proceeds of the sale of the defendant's properties were deposited, the defendant does not explain how the monitor—or this Court—would have the authority to force the defendant to deposit foreign assets in a domestic account.
