It is Ms. Maxwell's position that any post-2004 statements by Epstein or other alleged co-conspirators were not in furtherance of any conspiracy at issue in this case.\nThe first exemplar is a statement allegedly from Epstein to CC-1 claiming that Ms. Maxwell \"used to find girls for him.\" This statement, or statements like it, cannot have been made either in the course of or in furtherance of any conspiracy at issue here and are no more than \"idle chatter.\" Casual conversation about \"past events,\" \"idle chatter\" between co-conspirators, or \"merely narrative descriptions by one coconspirator of the acts of another\" do not qualify as statements in furtherance of the conspiracy.

At that point there was no need for Epstein to encourage anyone to do anything. Allegedly saying that Ms. Maxwell \"used to do something\" is not \"encouragement\" or \"enhancement of usefulness\" or \"reassurance.\" Moreover, it is an evidentiary stretch to reach the conclusions attached to the alleged statement by the government. Assuming that CC-1 is remembering a 17-year-old statement accurately, to reach the conclusion that it was done in furtherance of the conspiracy charged in the S-2 Indictment requires a speculative and subjective interpretation of why Epstein said what he said.
