CLERK OF THE COURT                         DIVISION OF ST. THOMAS AND ST. JOHN

                                                                              CIVIL CASE NO.: ST-20-CV-155

              GHISLAINE MAXWELL,

                                  Plaintiff,

              vs.

              ESTATE OF JEFFREY E. EPSTEIN,
              DARREN K. INDYKE, in his capacity as
              EXECUTOR OF THE ESTATE OF JEFFREY
              E. EPSTEIN, RICHARD D. KAHN, in his
              capacity as EXECUTOR OF THE ESTATE
              OF JEFFREY E. EPSTEIN, and NES, LLC, a
              New York Limited Liability Company,

              ________________________________________

                                  PLAINTIFF’S OPPOSITION TO MOTION TO INTERVENE

                         Plaintiff GHISLAINE MAXWELL (“Plaintiff”), by counsel, pursuant to V.I.R.Civ.P. 24,

              hereby opposes the Motion to Intervene1 (the “Motion to Intervene”) filed by nonparty, the

              Government of the United States Virgin Islands (the “Government”).

              I.         PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

                         The Motion to Intervene must be denied because it is procedurally defective and the

              Government has no sufficient basis to intervene in this case. The Government seeks to intervene

              for two reasons. First, it vaguely seeks to “ensure that the Epstein Estate’s assets are not

              wrongfully dissipated,” without articulating how it proposes to do so. GVI Mtn. at 2. Second, it

              asks this Court to enforce its unserved criminal CICO Subpoenas to Plaintiff and, more

              generally, to investigate Plaintiff in order to establish a predicate for future criminal charges
