Summary

This document is an excerpt from a deposition transcript involving Ghislaine Maxwell and Todd Blanche. The discussion revolves around Maxwell's knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's associates, travel, and records, including questions about Bill Gates, Reid Hoffman, and the existence of lists of masseuses or contacts maintained by Epstein's staff like John Alessi. Maxwell denies direct knowledge of certain relationships and travel, and expresses suspicion about a previously published list related to Epstein.

But how it was actually ended up put

which then they blackmailed my boyfriend, now I'm
just no.
TODD BLANCHE: Over the years when you
were serving as like the general manager, so the mid

masseuses, like a running list?

San Francisco. I have a I used to have a very
close friend who is in San Francisco who's part of
that whole -- I have several, actually, or had.
TODD BLANCHE: So is that a relationship
you had kind of separate and apart from Mr. Epstein?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Separate.
TODD BLANCHE: Do you know whether
Mr. Epstein had a relationship with Reid Hoffman?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: I don't know.

he kept the names and numbers of all the people that
came to the house so that he could call.
So --because I only was with Epstein, even
at best, half the time. So when I was there, he had
like his chief of staff who could find whatever he
needed. And when I wasn't there, he had to rely on
somebody else, right? So it'd be that John Alessi or
whoever else.
So everybody -- whoever was traveling with
him or wherever he was, he needed somebody else to
access information. So he had an assistant chief who
was his secretary, who would be the one that would
update his computer, you know, like everybody has an
address book.
TODD BLANCHE:
But was what you're
it makes sense. I'm
describing, which I'm not
just -- was that a list of masseuses or a list of
people that might need to be contacted, which would,
necessarily, include a lot of masseuses?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: That's -- the latter.
TODD BLANCHE: And did you update that?
Like were you part of were you one of the people
