On the eve of Clare Bronfman’s bail hearing, her lawyers have told the court they firmed up her financial collateral.
Bronfman was required to secure a $100 million bond, signed by her mother and brother-in-law, Basit Igtet, with $50 million in assets. Bronfman’s lawyers have been working with the prosecution to finalize documents necessary to secure government liens.
Some $25 million is secured by a letter from Goldman Sachs – on file with the court – as trustee of Clare’s trust, confirming that if her bail is revoked by the Court, the trustee would file instructions from the trust advisors to liquidate trust assets and transfer $25 million to the Clerk of the Eastern District of New York.
The remaining $25 million has been secured by real estate and a business.
The division is $8.1 million in equity in real estate owned Sara Bronfman-Igtet, $4.5 million in equity in real estate owned by Clare Bronfman, and a UCC-secured interest of $12,350,000 in Clare Bronfman’s company, ACK Wakaya Holdings LLC, which holds the business interests in the resort she owns in Fiji.
It is not known if Clare and Sara Bronfman-Igtet told the court about their millions in real estate holdings in Los Angeles County – which are currently up for sale.
I know about these since I recovered these assets for the Bronfman sisters when I got them controlling interest in Precision LLC in 2008. They may not have told the court about their Los Angeles real estate holdings since they may need to liquidate these properties [they are up for sale] to pay for the gaggle of 21 attorneys that are representing the various defendants in this case.
PRECISION PROPERTIES that I believe are still owned by the Bronfman sisters through Precision LLC or one of the shell companies owned by Bronfmans.
