"The first - that we've found - is dated February 6, 2017 and finds Maxwell asking UBS to transfer $25k to the Jones Day Client Trust Account. As far as I can tell, there's no contemporaneous public record of Maxwell working with Jones Day. Next, on April 18, 2017, a UBS employee confirms that she had completed a wire transfer requested by Maxwell to Jones Day in the amount of $31,746.50."
"In September of that year, a whole four-person UBS team writes Maxwell to confirm that they've passed along $218,791.31 to Jones Day. A November email provides a summary of her transfers throughout the year. The summary includes Haddon Morgan and Foreman, the Denver-based firm that served as Maxwell's primary counsel in the defamation suit Virginia Giuffre brought in 2015, which makes sense."
"Because they farmed this production out to a thousand drunk monkeys at a thousand drunk typewriters, it's the exact same employee in both emails, but the government redacted her full name and email in the first one - except in the salutation - and left her completely unredacted in the second email. In September of that year, a whole four-person UBS team writes Maxwell to confirm that they've passed along $218,791.31 to Jones Day."
UBS records show at least four transfers from Ghislaine Maxwell to the Jones Day Client Trust Account in 2017. Specific transfers include $25,000 on February 6 and $31,746.50 on April 18, plus a $218,791.31 transfer confirmed in September and a November summary of yearlong transfers. The November summary lists Haddon Morgan & Foreman, Maxwell's Denver-based counsel in a 2015 defamation suit brought by Virginia Giuffre. One UBS employee appears in multiple emails, with inconsistent redaction of her identity across communications. The pattern of payments to a major law firm raises questions about the firm's role in Maxwell's legal or financial affairs.
