FeesGhislaine Maxwell and her legal team have been planning to appeal her conviction after being found guilty of on five out of six sex trafficking related charges, including: conspiracy to transport minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity; transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity; sex trafficking conspiracy and sex trafficking of a minor.
Now, her estranged ex-husband, Scott Borgerson, who cut ties with her while she was in jail, is refusing to pay roughly $1 million in legal fees to cover the time needed for the appeal process.
The paperwork for the appeal is required to be sent by the end of the January, but her lawyers are barred from starting the process until the money is paid. However, that has become a problem as Borgerson is currently almost entirely in charge of the disgraced socialite's wealth.
An insider claimed Borgerson had initially agreed to transfer the funds, but he is now "being difficult" about the request. "Her lawyers have not been paid," the insider added. "That is a serious matter in itself."

OP
Last I heard she didn't like being in jail because it was too much like a jail.

dungeon instead of a jail.
Good one!

Not a bad place as prisons go, or so it is said.

I am sure there is a lot of names on the lists that the DA might be willing to agree to less time if she where to hand over the names.
