What's the Burden of Proof for the Conspiracy Charges?

Galan maxwell had been given 30 million dollars over the course of about eight years from geoffrey epstein. The prosecution said, you don't give someone 30 million unless that person's given you exactly what you want. They have to prove then, you cause this is happening n southern district of new york,. so thes aleast half mi have something to do with new york. My understanding is the burden of proof for the conspiracy charges much lower. To prove intent, you don’t actually have to prove that a crime was committed. It's just that one intended to be and that there wasn' a plan to do that.
