Kwok, 23 Cr. 118 (AT), submitted to Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker.

Government's Arguments

The 23-page memorandum develops the government's case for pretrial detention:

• The scale of the alleged fraud (billion-dollar);
• The flight-risk factors (foreign citizenship, financial resources, political connections);
• The danger-to-community concerns (witness tampering, obstruction);
• The strength of the case;
• The history of the defendant's evading legal process in other matters.
