The Facilitator: How Eva Dubin Ran the Logistics of Jeffrey Epstein's Network From Inside Mount Sinai

In November 2015, Eva Andersson-Dubin sent Jeffrey Epstein an email about placing a young woman. Before proceeding, she had a question: "Does it matter that this girl that I am asking is a very good friend of Ghislaine's?"

Epstein's response was three words: "it shouldnt."

That exchange, buried in the DOJ's EFTA release, has never been published by any media outlet. It captures, in eleven words, the operational reality that 8,318 documents in the Epstein files lay bare: Eva Dubin was not a passive social acquaintance of Jeffrey Epstein. She was a logistics hub, placing young women in professional positions, coordinating their travel across continents, and maintaining the appearance of normalcy around a convicted sex offender through the last months before his arrest.

The Pipeline in Practice

The clearest documented example of how the pipeline functioned involves Jackie Kalin, a nursing student from Minnesota and the sister of Jennifer Kalin, an established Epstein associate with Deutsche Bank accounts managed through his financial structure.

In December 2010, Jackie emailed Epstein directly. She was a junior in college, studying nursing. "Last summer was amazing and I learned an incredible amount of new information!" she wrote. "I cannot even begin to explain how thankful I am for this opportunity. I miss you! xoxo, Jackie."

Epstein forwarded the email to Eva Dubin with a single question: "Can she do an internship?"

Eva responded immediately: "Absolutely. I am putting her in contact with Daphne Semet. She should contact Daphne directly." Semet was a physician at Mount Sinai, where Eva's husband Glenn Dubin had funded the Dubin Breast Center.

Eva followed up the next day with a practical question: "intern as a nurse?? Is she done with nursing school??" Her instructions were direct: make sure Jackie contacted Semet as soon as possible.

By January 2011, the internship was secured. Eva emailed Epstein: "I spoke to Daphne last week. She said that Jackie was going to be working in the Dubin Breast Center this summer and getting paid."

The Dubin Breast Center. The institution that bore her family's name. A young woman connected to Epstein, who had received $5,000 in direct cash payments from him, who had flown on his private aircraft, and who would later visit his Zorro Ranch in New Mexico, was placed in a paid position at a medical facility funded by the Dubins and staffed by Eva's professional contacts.

Between the internship request and its fulfillment, Epstein coached Jackie's approach. "Its important that she appear anxious and enthusiastic to get there as soon as possible," he wrote. He also asked Eva to connect Jackie with "Bill Laurence the nursing guy" for additional placement options.

This was not charity. It was institutional access deployed on behalf of a convicted sex offender's network.

"The Driver Makes a Gigantic Difference for These Girls"

The facilitation extended to Europe. In May 2013, Eva Dubin sent Epstein an email that triggered a logistics operation. The staff instruction that followed was explicit: "Jeffrey has requested Valdson drive the girls everywhere they want to go!!"

Valdson was Epstein's Paris driver. Those "girls" were young women being moved to Epstein's Paris apartment. Eva Dubin had initiated the request.

Weeks later, in June 2013, Eva sent Epstein a note of appreciation: "Jeffrey, This is so so nice. The driver makes a gigantic difference for these girls."

"These girls." Plural. Eva was not describing a one-time favor for a friend's daughter. Eva was commenting on a system, one she had used before, one she knew worked, and one whose beneficiaries she described in aggregate.

"You Plus Two Girls"

By Thanksgiving 2017, nearly a decade after Epstein's 2008 conviction and the public exposure of his crimes, Eva Dubin was still hosting him for family holiday dinners.

Her email ahead of the meal was businesslike: "Tomorrow 7-7:30 for dinner. I have down you plus two girls, is that correct? We are NOT going to talk about what we are thankful for, I promise!"

Media coverage of this dinner focused on a separate Epstein email mentioning Donald Trump's name in connection with the Thanksgiving gathering. The detail that Eva counted "two girls" as Epstein's standard dinner companions, at a family holiday, in 2017, has not been reported.

"Can We Do Anything So She Can Help at the Center?"

The Dubin Breast Center was not a one-time placement. In March 2012, Epstein emailed Eva: "can we do anything so [redacted] can help at the center?"

Eva replied: "I am working on it. Called the international office yesterday. She can't do anything right now...I am on it :)"

The "center" is the Dubin Breast Center at Mount Sinai. Epstein identified a young woman. He asked Eva to place her there. Eva activated her institutional contacts. The exchange was routine enough that Eva responded with a smiley face.

This pattern, Epstein identifying women and Eva placing them in legitimate professional positions, appears across multiple documents. It mirrors what an FBI Intelligence Note from 2022, filed under UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY, described as a defining characteristic of modern sex trafficking: "Wealthy, Influential Individuals Involved in Sex Trafficking Likely Rely Primarily on Referrals and Career Enhancement Promises to Entice Victims, Representing an Expansion of Traditional Sex Trafficking Techniques."

The FBI was describing the method. The EFTA documents show who was executing it.

The Ghislaine Question

The November 2015 email about Ghislaine Maxwell's "very good friend" is significant for what it reveals about Eva's awareness.

By 2015, Maxwell's role in Epstein's operation was public knowledge. Giuffre's allegations had been reported. Civil lawsuits named Maxwell as a co-conspirator. The black book had been published. Anyone placing young women through Maxwell's social connections understood, or should have understood, the risk.

Eva asked the question. She knew enough to ask whether the Ghislaine connection "mattered." Epstein's answer, "it shouldnt," was not a reassurance. It was a directive. And Eva proceeded.

"8 Swedish Female Economists"

Eva Andersson-Dubin was born in Sweden, competed in the Miss Universe pageant, and was Epstein's girlfriend through the 1980s and into the 1990s. Epstein paid for her medical school. After medical school, she married Glenn Dubin, the hedge fund billionaire who co-founded Highbridge Capital Management. Together, they remained in Epstein's closest orbit for decades.

Her Swedish background was part of the operation's social architecture. In February 2011, Epstein invited Eva to his home with a note: "there are 8 swedish female economists. coming at 6 you are welcome." Eva's presence would normalize an event that combined young women and a convicted sex offender behind a veneer of intellectual programming.

As late as March 2016, Eva saw Epstein's island and wrote: "I see it!! My island!! Book us for a week at christmas!!" Even in December 2018, months before Epstein's arrest, she was recruiting staff for him by iMessage: "Would you consider a gay guy as an estate manager....??? I heard of someone who is the estate manager for an Australian family (Lowy)..."

What the Butler Saw

Eva Dubin's facilitation role is not new information in its broadest strokes. In the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, former Dubin household manager Rinaldo Rizzo testified that in 2005, a 15-year-old girl alleged to have been trafficked by Epstein was brought to the Dubins' home. According to Rizzo, Eva left the girl in the kitchen. In a separate instance reported by Sportskeeda, Eva invited Epstein to visit when her 15-year-old daughter Celina would have five friends over.

Virginia Giuffre accused Glenn Dubin of sexual abuse in her deposition. Glenn Dubin's black book entry contained eight phone numbers. His wife had six. Glenn was subpoenaed by the Virgin Islands attorney general. Bloomberg reported in February 2026 that Eva functioned as Epstein's entry point into the hedge fund world.

But the operational granularity of the EFTA documents, the specific emails about driver coordination, internship placement at family-funded medical institutions, counting "two girls" for Thanksgiving, asking whether a Ghislaine connection would be a problem, these details have not been published. They transform the portrait of Eva Dubin from a socially proximate ex-girlfriend into something more specific: a facilitator who used her medical credentials, institutional access, and family philanthropy to embed young women in positions where Epstein could reach them.

8,318 Documents

Eva Dubin appears in 8,318 documents in the EFTA release. That is among the largest footprints of any individual in the entire archive, exceeding most of the names that generate headlines.

The number reflects a relationship that never ended. From the 1980s through at least December 2018, Eva Andersson-Dubin coordinated travel, arranged internships, placed women in medical institutions, hosted holiday dinners, recruited household staff, and maintained the social fabric that allowed Jeffrey Epstein to operate in plain sight.

The Jackie Kalin internship at the Dubin Breast Center. The Paris driver for "these girls." The Thanksgiving headcount of "you plus two girls." The question about whether Ghislaine's friend could be placed. Each of these is a primary source document in the EFTA release. Each has been publicly available since January 2026. None has been reported.

The Dubin Breast Center at Mount Sinai still bears the family name.
