Lawyers for Ghislaine Maxwell say the convicted sex trafficker's brother promised a $US1 million retainer to have them defend her against charges she helped Jeffrey Epstein abuse girls, but paid just $143,500.

Ghislaine Maxwell is being sued for unpaid fees by the lawyers who defended her on charges she helped Jeffrey Epstein abuse teenage girls.

Two of the firm's lawyers, Laura Menninger and Jeffrey Pagliuca, represented Maxwell throughout her case.The lawsuit also listed as defendants Mr Maxwell and Scott Borgerson, who was described in the lawsuit as Ghislaine Maxwell's husband.Neither Ms Menninger nor Mr Pagliuca immediately responded to requests for comment, nor did Mr Maxwell or Mr Borgerson.Maxwell and Mr Borgerson have separated, according to a sentencing submission written by her lawyers earlier this year.

Maxwell, the daughter of late British press baron Robert Maxwell, is serving her sentence in a Florida prison and appealing her conviction. Epstein took his own life in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on his own sex trafficking charges.

Her problem was that she wasn't woke enough. I'd be very very nervous of The Clintons if I was her. I am doubting the US prison systems ability to keep her safe.

A convicted slaver turned out to be a deadbeat? I'm stunned.

Oh the irony! 🤦‍♀️ ClientList 🤔

🤣🤣🤣🤣

What, a Maxwell ducking their financial obligations, likely story!

I dare say the money could be crowdfunded in return for the client list.

davidbewart Derivative law.

Release the list.

Bet she didn't expect to still be alive to pay it...

Maybe her buddy Bill clinton can help out?

Good luck with that

Epstein has the check book!

Performance related pay 💰

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm sure she can work it off while in jail

lol, hasn’t really worked out well for her has it?

First person to be convicted of child trafficking to no one apparently.

Good luck with that.

They didn’t do a great job so…

So it wasn't No win, no fee?

How is she getting access to her bank account?

Defending her, you get PAYED for that.

Get it of her rich elite controllers

Well, you know where to deliver the papers to her. Just through the cell bars.

Obviously not payment by reward then 😝

She should sell her client list and appointment book to the highest bidder. She would make enough to cover her legal fees easily.

What an appalling old Crone, hope she's doing it hard in jail.

How can she pay if she is in jail?

They defended so well and now she is a free woman.

Just sell the list, money problems over.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

If you don't win you don't get paid....

This is why Trump can't find a lawyer. They know they won't get paid.

She treated girls like objects to feed the sexual tastes of the extremely wealthy men. Why did the law firm think she would behave like a civilised person now?

is there a gofundme we can donate too for her?

Bill Gates jest kuzynem Maxell

Chip off the ole block..

They’ll need to hurry if they want their money before Hillary has nothing to do with what happens next.

Jail her.
