marked up -- I don't know who. Somebody marked up
that book of names, and I think all the names of the
people that they went for were originally selected
between two sources. One was this alleged book of
names, and one was also from the telephone logs that
were collected from the house in Palm Beach.
And just to finish it off, there is a
note -- I have some papers for you if you wanted
them, where Brad Edwards says that he has a list of
25 men that he got money off --
TODD BLANCHE: So -- okay. So the list
that everybody, the black book, the list, what you're
saying is that your -- your Exhibit 52 from your
trial, which is like a -- more of an address book, a
Rolodex type thing, that Mr. Rodriguez -- Alfredo
Rodriguez, your understanding, is that somewhere
along the way he went through and kind of marked that
list to say --
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: I don't know where
that book actually comes from.
TODD BLANCHE: Okay.
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: I don't know what that
book is. That book is some type of a compilation,
but what it is, is it's just pieces of paper with
type. So if you had -- you could have made a list.

I could put --
TODD BLANCHE: But you're referring to
something that's been public for a long, if we're
thinking about the same thing. You're talking about
the -- you're right, it's like a bunch of different
types of paper or whatever. I only have a copy of
it, but with big parts of it redacted publicly,
because there was people's addresses and whatnot on
it.
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Yes. That's what I'm
talking about.
TODD BLANCHE: Okay.
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: So it -- oh, perfect.
Yes. So you will find --
TODD BLANCHE: We're looking at Exhibit 52
now.
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Okay. So you're
looking at Exhibit 52. So the one they produced,
they, the Southern District of New York actually
produced a book for me to see it as evidence, the
actual thing it was.
And I -- it has marks, it has tabs, it has
things, it has names I've never seen. It had -- like
that list -- those -- that list was basically the
names that they choose to produce at trial. Now, in

Rothstein Adler's firm, I also have some documents
where Rothstein -- his original scheme, Rothstein
Adler, was to place prostitutes. He had a bar, a
dance bar where he had girls. And I believe he would
use them and put them as fake secretaries in people's
offices, and then she might touch him or he might
touch her or something, and boom, he got $25,000 for
that.
And those girls --now, I'm not saying that
those are the girls that came in Epstein's case
necessarily, but the --
TODD BLANCHE: So -- but again, let's --
like, so we're separating the evidence that came in
at your trial and what you just talked about with
Brad Edwards and Mr. Rodriguez.
During the time that you were with
Mr. Epstein, and even in the 2000s when you were
around less frequently, you never observed or you
never saw any sort of list or black book or a list of
individuals who, you know, linked to certain
masseuses or --
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Absolutely no.
TODD BLANCHE: -- anything like that?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: Absolutely no. There
is no list. There is no -- I'm not aware of any

blackmail. I never heard that. I never saw it and I
never imagined it.
TODD BLANCHE: While we're on this topic,
just -- and again, I know we're jumping around and
we've been going on it for a while, so I apologize.
But there's recently been reports about a
birthday book that you assembled for Mr. Epstein, I
think, for his 50th birthday in 2003.
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: That's true.
TODD BLANCHE: What do you know about
that?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: So, my mum dida
birthday book for my father at his 60th. And when
I -- Epstein would talk about his 50th, he said, I
don't know what I'm going to do. And I said, well,
these are nice things, my mom did this book for my
dad. He said, I love that idea.
He said, can you help coordinate it? And
he organized who -- he called a lot of the people
himself. I coordinated the putting together of the
book. And some -- in some instances, I called people
that asked them to contribute --
TODD BLANCHE: And what was in the book?
Like what was the ask of the people you called?
GHISLAINE MAXWELL: It's his 50th
