The Women Of Jeffrey Epstein
No. Not the victims. They are what I like to call the steppingstones on the path of who Jeffrey Epstein would come to be. These are relationships that started as most do, but all turned into lifetime friendships. All of these women defend him and stand by his side. Who are they? Let’s find out.
Jeffrey Epstein reportedly hung himself this past weekend, on August 10, 2019, sending shockwaves and rumors throughout the nation. How could he have possibly done so under guard in a New York federal holding facility? Attorney General Barr has ordered several investigations into the matter, and the public anxiously awaits their findings. After his death, many were left worried that the investigation would end. Fortunately, Geoffrey Berman, the US Attorney in charge of the case, released a statement the day of Epstein’s death which read, in part:
To those brave young women who have already come forward and to the many others who have yet to do so, let me reiterate that we remain committed to standing for you, and our investigation of the conduct charged in the Indictment — which included a conspiracy count — remains ongoing.
The indictment is clear; three employees of Jeffrey Epstein were mentioned. Speculating, it stands to reason those will be the next indictments we see executed. In order to try to discern whose names may be on them, it is important to investigate the many women Jeffrey came to trust in his life. From the research I have done, it appears he trusted them enough to keep them very close and share the details of the international sex trafficking business we have been learning more about in the news. I have repeatedly asked myself over and over during this scandal, “Who was Jeffrey Epstein’s handler?”
You don’t get this rich and powerful, collecting this much blackmail on these types of clients, without having a handler. My personal belief is that his handler was his long-time friend and once lover Ghislaine Maxwell. However, before we go over details regarding her potential involvement, it’s important to establish the pattern over the years. Here are some details about the women behind Jeffrey Epstein.
Lynn Greenberg — 1976
His first documentable woman, what I am calling his “steppingstones” occurred during his days at Dalton. This was a prestigious school with no shortage of connections to the rich and famous. Jeffery was rumored to be a mathematician and took up tutoring to make extra money on the side. Jeffrey had been dating Lynn Greenberg (now Lynn Koeppel) and had taken on tutoring her brother, Ted. In spending time with the family, Ted and Lynn’s Father, Alan “Ace” Greenberg, took a shine to him. Mr. Greenberg was known to adhere to one rule when looking for new recruits to work for him at Bears Sterns Companies Inc., It was what he called PSD’s; Poor, Smart and Desperate to be rich, and became the future culture of Bear Sterns based on his beliefs. He hired Epstein, who quickly worked his way up until he was handling one of the most valued clients, Seagram CEO Edgar Bronfman. Epstein’s career would end in 1981 following the SEC investigation into Bronfman’s bid to take over St. Joe Minerals Corporation. This was a $2.1 billion dollar cash deal that the 118 year old St. Joe’s did not welcome and weren’t interested in. The SEC investigation was spurred by a press release by St. Joe Minerals calling it “unsolicited” and “grossly inadequate”. This investigation would later lead to Epstein quitting Bears Sterns and going out on his own. Epstein would later become the only employee for Bears Sterns charged and later fined in the investigation.
Lynne Koeppel who was the first woman to own a seat on the American Stock Exchange, later gave up her seat to raise her two children. She is currently married to Caleb Koeppel the son of Alfred Koeppel an executive in one of the oldest real estate families in New York, and a board chairman at Trinity College in Hartford Connecticut. It is unknown if she or her brother ever maintained contact with Epstein after the collapse of Bear Sterns in 2008.
Eva Andersson (later Andersson-Dubin) — 1980
His most private relationship and the “one who got away” was Eva. Eva was a Swedish Actress and Ford Model who once ran for Miss Universe and would later go on to star on Baywatch. She later married Glenn Dubin, founder of Highbridge Capital and owner of Robin Hood Foundation and the Dubin Breast Cancer Center at Mt. Sinai. Eva’s bout with breast cancer caused the latter. According to Forbes, the couple is worth 2.1 billion. However, before she met Dubin, Eva would be the one to introduce Epstein to Manhattans high society. It was Eva’s butler, Rinaldo Rizzo, who revealed one of the more damning bits of information to date about Epstein. In a deposition released on Friday August 9th as part of a wider release of documents in a civil suit against Ghislaine Maxwell, Rizzo revealed his experience in encountering a 15-year-old girl in Eva’s Manhattan kitchen. She confessed to him that she had been forced to perform sexual acts while on Epstein’s infamous island. Eva told Rizzo the girl was working for her as a nanny. There were also photos included, one taken at Bette Midler’s sixtieth birthday party. Eva became very close friends with Maxwell after Epstein introduced them.

Ana Obregon — 1982
Obregon is a Spanish Actress most known in America for the 1984 film Bolero, starring Bo Derek. She is very well known in Madrid, Spain and has appeared on the cover of Spanish Vanity Fair and Spanish Playboy. She first met Jeffrey after he started taking on private clients following his exit from Bears Sterns. She sought him out after her father, a very wealthy investor from Spain who was connected to Spanish royalty and other investors, got involved in an Interest borrowing gambit , (DGS- Drysdale’s Securities Corporations) that threatened the loss of the entire family fortune. Epstein had a very small company he was starting up and used this as an opportunity to embellish himself to her. He took her on as a client and was able to recover her father’s fortune. The deal was sealed, which like most of Epstein’s financial history, leaves us in the dark about how much was recovered or how much he kept. Ana not only opened Hollywood to Epstein, she also took him international, introducing him in foreign kingdoms. To this day she remains grateful and loyal to Epstein. With the new education of navigating the Cayman Island accounts, Jeffrey made the decision to only take on wealthy clients, changing direction from hedge funds management to wealth recovery. She was his first learning curve, as her Dad’s wealth recovery was rumored to have netted him millions, but what she gave back to him in opening social circles turned out to be worth much more than the rumored millions he earned from her father’s case.
Ghislaine Maxwell — 1991
Probably the most talked about, Maxwell is a story unto herself. She is a wealthy heiress from the UK with ties to the Royal family and some of the world’s most famous and scandalous people. She would become Epstein’s largest steppingstone on his climb up the social ladder to the rich and uber elite. The story of her father is very intriguing. Her father, Robert Maxwell, was a Czech refugee, turned spy, turned media mogul, turned pension thief who was found dead, rumored to have killed himself by tossing himself off his yacht in 1991. The yacht was named after his favorite and youngest child of 9, Lady Ghislaine. Ghislaine insists her father had been murdered and left the UK for the United States after his death to escape the dark shadows his passing left behind. Robert Maxwell was scheduled to meet with Deputy Governor of the Bank of England the day after he died. Not only was he a member of parliament but also a British media mogul. The Fourth Estate, a 1996 novel by Jeffrey Archer, is based on the lives of Robert Maxwell and Rupert Murdoch. According to a 2003 Telegraph article, “The British Foreign Office suspected that Maxwell was a secret agent of a foreign government, possibly a double agent or a triple agent”, and “a thoroughly bad character and almost certainly financed by Russia.” He had known links to the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), to the KGB, and to the Israeli intelligence service Mossad. Six serving and former heads of Israeli intelligence services attended Maxwell’s funeral in Israel, while Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir eulogized him and stated: “a man cast in a heroic mold.”
Knowing these things about her father allows us to paint an interesting picture of a young Ghislaine who would grow up surrounded by all these people who no doubt had some influence and possibly some leverage over her. She started handling all his daily needs and appointments. She became his closest friend and personal assistant and to this day remains loyal to him. No stranger to controversy of her own, she is also the subject of several civil suits regarding her involvement in procuring young girls for Epstein and was excused in what we now know to be a corrupt criminal investigation into Epstein in Palm Beach, Florida. Not only did Ghislaine’s Father die off a boat named after her, Lady Ghislaine, but the ferry boat to Little St James where Jeffery Epstein would later take his young victims was also named, Lady Ghislaine after his most favored co-conspirator.
Nadia Marcinkova — 2000 or thereabouts
Nadia would become known as Epstein’s first purchased sex slave, and pilot of the Lolita Express. She is a Slovakian-born self-proclaimed model and FAA-certified commercial rated pilot, flight instructor, and CEO of Aviloop, an aviation website. According to newly released testimony, she was never a model in Yugoslavia. According to a Palm Beach Police Department report from 2006, Epstein told one of his victims that Marcinkova was a “sex slave” he had purchased from her parents in Yugoslavia when she was a teen. Also in a 2010 deposition given by a former MC2 bookkeeper (a modeling agency founded by Naomi Campbell) named Maritza Vasquez, it was revealed that part of her job was helping to obtain visas for the girls, and she recalled taking an angry call from Epstein after a model visa application for a 14-year-old, Nadia Marcinkova, fell through. Part of the problem, Vasquez said, was she wasn’t really a model.
“That girl never work, she was never a model. She was living in his place but she disappear,” Vasquez said she was told by a coworker who worked directly on the application. “She never actually even worked as a model.”
According to depositions released last week Nadia was involved with grooming newer young girls to be turned into sex slaves for Epstein to rent out. She shared an apartment in NYC with three other women who were given immunity from prosecution from the 2008 case, but during testimony under oath, Nadia would only reply “fifth”. This is the same exact testimony Jeffrey would give, word for word. The other girls were Adriana Ross, Sarah Kellen, and Lesley Groff.
Sarah Kellen –
It is still unclear when Jeffrey met Sarah, however she was one of four of his closest personal assistants. Nadia, Sarah, Adrianna and Lesley were explained as “They are an extension of my brain, their intuition is something that I don’t have.” Epstein revealed to the New York Times in an article in February 2005 that he paid each assistant more than $200,000 a year and the position came with perks — access to top hairstylist Frédéric Fekkai, private jet trips and meals from New York’s top restaurants. Sarah was in charge of booking all of Epstein’s daily massages and was known as his “fixer”. She was known to intervene and stop any girls who were going to talk and get them to keep quiet about what was being done to them.
Authors personal conclusions: As I researched for this piece, I came to believe that the last three women named on this list would end up being the first three indicted. That’s just my personal belief. The women from Epstein’s early life seem to be just steppingstones into a high society; a high society he would later exploit for his own depraved desires. He also used this as a form of blackmail over them- he wanted to control the world in his way to maintain the lifestyle he had become accustomed to. He wanted to maintain his business as usual. Out of all of them, it appears to me that Ghislaine was his true soul mate. She loved him in her own twisted way, allegedly took part in his pedophilia, and helped him to build an empire. Through it all, she never lost her loyalty to him. All the women named above have an unusual loyalty to Epstein. Evidence of this is in the recently released testimony. It is found in just one word. “Fifth”.
