Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript dated June 29, 2023, likely from an appeal hearing (Case 22-1426). The discussion involves an attorney, Ms. Moe, arguing to the Court that Ghislaine Maxwell held a leadership role over Sarah Kellen within the criminal conspiracy. The argument posits that as the scheme evolved, Kellen was brought in as a subordinate to handle tasks previously performed by Maxwell (such as scheduling massage appointments), thereby elevating Maxwell's status in the hierarchy.
