22 TODD BLANCHE: initial as well. Thank 22 has said that she was working at Mar-a-Lago and
23 you. 23 you received a treatment of her from her at sorte
24 And just to kind of before we get 24 point, and that you recruited her to meet
25 going, I’ll just say that exactly the same folks that 25 Mr. Epstein.
Page 218 Page 220
1 were here when we met yesterday are here today. So 1 GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Right.
2 there’s no I’m not going to do formal 2 TODD BLANCHE: Do you know, affirmatively,
3 introductions, because it’s exactly the same group of 3 whether that’s true or false, or do you just not have
4 folks. 4 a memory either way?
5 So we’re continuing, Ms. Maxwell, our 5 GHISLAINE MAXWELL: I really don’t believe
6 discussion of yesterday. And the same the same 6 it’s true. But I know that I did go to spas and if I
7 kind of rules apply. If you we’ll take breaks, if 7 met someone, I did ask if they’re (indiscernible)
8 you need to talk to Mr. Markus or your lawyers, no 8 so I don’t in the realms of possibility, it could
9 absolutely no problem. Just let me know. I’ll try 9 have, but I have no memory of it.
10 to ask my questions in a coherent manner, but if 10 TODD BLANCHE: Okay.
11 there’s anything that I say that’s confusing, 11 GHISLAINE MAXWELL: And I don’t beieve
12 definitely interrupt me. 12 that that it’s how it went down, but I don’t want
13 GHISLAINE MAXWELL: I will. Thank you. 13 to
14 TODD BLANCHE: So I think the easiest 14 TODD BLANCHE: Okay. So I want to tak
15 thing to start with is, is there anything that we 15 about we talked a little bit yesterday about the
16 talked about yesterday that we’re going to go 16 financial part of your relationship with Mr. Epster1,
17 through some more names. I think that we that’s 17 kind of being on payroll, for lack of a better word
18 one of the places that we that we interrupted, 18 for many, many years, starting around $25,000 and1
19 just because there’s a lot of names. 19 ending up at around $250,000 per year.
20 But aside from additional names, is there 20 There’s as you know, from your trial,
21 anything that you wanted to kind of follow up on that 21 there’s banking information that shows a ton of mney
22 we talked about yesterday or anything that you 22 being sent to you from Mr. Epstein over the years
23 thought maybe you remember more of or not? 23 And I think totaling something like
24 GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Some more names did 24 $30 million, something like this. What’s what’s
25 come to me in the night, and I did have some 25 the why was that money sent to you? Like, wheret

2 (Pages 217 to 220)

Page 221Page 223
1was that for?1disputing all of it.
2GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Well, first of all, I2TODD BLANCHE: But when you said let’s
3don’t I dispute the characterization that the3go back and look. Why would why did money have to
4money was sent to me.4go into your accounts or account that was controlled
5TODD BLANCHE: Okay. So tell me what I5by others, but in your name to, like, purchase a
6am stuck with the witnesses at trial and what was6helicopter?
7said at trial on that issue. So what what what7GHISLAINE MAXWELL: , that’s a very good
8is the what do you dispute about that?8question. I don’t I’m not sure I know the answer
9GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Well, I believe I9to that. I don’t.
10don’t have full recollection. I’m not even sure I10TODD BLANCHE: So let me ask this maybe a
11ever saw what they accused me of, but my belief is11different way that gets to the issue, right? So the
12that that money also contained money that was for a12accusation by the government, based upon the evidence
13helicopter, for instance, that I never owned and I13they collected, is that Epstein paid you millions and
14was never mine. And14millions of dollars over the years.
15DAVID MARKUS: In other words, money was15And the reason why he paid you that is
16sent to you that you then used to purchase things16because you were performing an extraordinary service
17or17for him by recruiting young women, many of whom were
18GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Well, I’m not even18underage to so that he could sexually abuse them.
19sure that I purchased it. So the accounts those19Okay. That’s their that’s their allegation.
20accounts would be controlled by his accountants.20Okay.
21And21From what you said yesterday and from what
22TODD BLANCHE: Even accounts in your name,22I’ve reviewed about you and Mr. Epstein, he paid for
23you’re saying, or one of your entities?23a lot in your life.
24GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Well, I’m not even24GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Absolutely.
25sure I knew of all the entities. I’m not I25TODD BLANCHE: Your flights, where you
Page 222Page 224
1don’t it maybe I did, contemporaneously, but I1stayed with him. I mean, he didn’t expect you to
2simply wouldn’t know today. So if there was an2reimburse him along the way for food and, you know,
3entity, let’s say account X, if I really set that up3so he took care of you for many years.
4myself or whether they said, we’re doing this and the4GHISLAINE MAXWELL: That is true.
5money’s coming or whatever. But in no substantive5TODD BLANCHE: On top of that, he actually
6way I can’t think of the right word.6paid you a salary as we talked about $25,000 to
7DAVID MARKUS: Did you have control7$250,000. What else did he give you? Or what
8over8purchase like, was there a time when he gave you a
9GHISLAINE MAXWELL: I had no control, is9million dollars or $500,000 as a bonus? Or what
10what I’m saying.10what financial benefit did you receive from him,
11TODD BLANCHE: So when when the11besides what we’ve already talked about. We don’t
12government when there was testimony or the12have to talk about what, you know, so
13government admitted evidence that showed, for13GHISLAINE MAXWELL: I got it. I got it.
14example, $5 million in 2002 coming from Epstein to14TODD BLANCHE: Okay.
15you, okay, what you’re saying is that that may15GHISLAINE MAXWELL: So my goal, always,
16that happened, but that the you there, wasn’t money16was to become independent, independently, financially
17that he wasn’t giving you money.17secure and work for myself. I’ve never been one to
18GHISLAINE MAXWELL: I’m not going to say18not work. And in that regard, over the course of my
19that for everything, because maybe there were19friendship and my working relationship with Epstein,
20accounts that money was sent to me. But I can say20I expressed to him my desire to be independent of him
21that I know like the helicopter, I can21everywhere, just to be freestanding.
22definitively say. I’d have to look at all of them to22And the in with that in mind, I
23be accurate for you.23wanted to have my own businesses or my own money
24But to explain how or why I could be24coming in independent and separate from any salary
25receiving monies, and I certainly did. So I’m not25that I received from him.

1And I needed that for my self-esteem.1right. That had the doors that would come up like
2I’ve never been I mean, obviously salary and it2this
3was a very generous one. Please, I’m not belittling3TODD BLANCHE: Okay.
4the sum of money, because it’s huge, but I was4GHISLAINE MAXWELL: There were only a very
5brought up to work and I was brought up to be my own,5limited number that were made. So I knew that we
6you know.6could get those and flip them right within 24 hours,
7The first time so I would either7for example.
8propose businesses to him or he would actually8Also my here’s another example of
9suggest why didn’t I do something in the first deal9something that you guys wouldn’t have known about is
10that we did, or the first business that we had or I10I became a banker. I got my Series 63, Series 67
11had and that he financed for me.11banking license and became a broker for like a new
12So he gave he loaned me all the money12(inaudible). And then because I was day trading.
13to enable me to do this and then I reaped the13Everything I had I day traded with through an
14profits, which I don’t remember now, because we14account.
15varied over the deals that we did, that I would give15And I think I was lucky more than smart,
16him 50 percent or 25.16but I made quite a lot of money doing that. And so
17It was sort of it was random.17
18TODD BLANCHE: So18TODD BLANCHE: When was that? Like what
19GHISLAINE MAXWELL: And I can tell you19approximate time
20what it is, so we can compare it.20GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Again, that’s in the
21TODD BLANCHE: Yeah. Go ahead.21’90s again. I don’t , wait. I think well,
22GHISLAINE MAXWELL: So it was in Palm22you can find it, because it’ll be my banking license,
23Beach actually, and it was in real estate. And they23right? That’ll be something that you can look up,
24sold what was the grounds originally of an estate24probably.
TODD BLANCHE: Yeah.
25called the Phipps Estate. And then they converted25TODD BLANCHE: Yean.
Page 226Page 228
1the land that came with that estate into houses. And1GHISLAINE MAXWELL: So what whatever that
2I did, I think, two or maybe I can’t remember now,2is and I just don’t remember when that is. I’m
3but certainly one and maybe two, possibly three. I3sorry.
4don’t think so. I think two, that then were flipped4TODD BLANCHE: So okay. So
5and there was a profit.5GHISLAINE MAXWELL: And so for an example,
6
7
So that would be an example of that. But6I was I was doing really, really, really well.
And so he was like, how do you do that? Well, how
8I didn’t have the money, so he lent me the funds to
do that business transaction and then I reaped the

9profits.9I don’t know, Apple when nobody liked Apple. This

16They just see the money.16trying to suggest that. , goodness. Please, no.
17GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Right.17I had no
18TODD BLANCHE: So in those cases, when18DAVID MARKUS: It was just a joke.
19that happened, when he would when he financed that19GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Okay.
20with you, would he send money to you? So does that20TODD BLANCHE: It was a joke.
21explain some of the money? Like, I guess21GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Yeah. No. All right.
