Judge denies Epstein bail and orders him detained until trial

U.S. District Judge Richard Berman denied Jeffrey Epstein's bail request following a hearing in which federal prosecutors argued he posed an extreme danger to the community and an unparalleled flight risk. The government presented evidence of Epstein's $500 million in assets, private aircraft, and foreign properties. Epstein was remanded to the Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower Manhattan, where he was placed in the Special Housing Unit under enhanced supervision.
