EFTA01344769 (Aug 15, 2014): Smith to Lesley Groff, cc Morris: "I know Paul wanted to get this conversation in before his Mandatory Time Away (2 weeks, can't speak w clients) But this is a slow-enough moving underlier...why don't we just wait the 2 weeks until Paul gets back. I did reach back out to the trader in London that Paul and I wanted Jeffrey to be able to speak with."
Smith was managing the tension between Epstein's trading demands and Morris's compliance obligation. Her suggestion to "just wait the 2 weeks" was the more conservative path. However, "I did reach back out to the trader in London" confirms Smith was actively bridging Epstein to KCP London traders — not just scheduling, but maintaining Epstein's direct access to the trading desk.
EFTA01344770 (Aug 15, 2014): Morris: "Thanks Lesley, you all can try to arrange for next week, I don't need to be on call."
WHAT THIS SHOWS AND DOES NOT SHOW: Morris authorized the team (Smith included) to arrange Epstein trading calls during his Mandatory Time Away — meaning Epstein had direct access to DB traders without his primary banker present. MTA is designed to detect fraud by forcing bankers offline. Morris's instruction to "arrange for next week" without him effectively bypassed this control. Smith was the coordinator facilitating this arrangement through Groff (named NPA co-conspirator). This documents the circumvention of a compliance control but does not establish that Smith acted improperly — she was following her senior banker's direction.
