2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““The established rule is that once ‘the central criminal purposes of a conspiracy have been attained, a subsidiary conspiracy to conceal may not be implied from circumstantial evidence showing merely that the conspiracy was kept a secret and that the conspirators took care to cover up their crime in order to escape detection and punishment.’ [Citations.] *** To include in the conspiracy an event, no matter how proximately related, occurring after the main objectives of a conspiracy have been accomplished would unnecessarily blur the relatively clear line drawn by the Supreme Court’s decisions on this subject.” (Floyd, 555 F.2d at 48 .)”
