What's up everyone, and welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're going to pick up where we left off with the BBC article about Nadia Marcinkova. The authors of this article are Tim Whewell and Jacob Pole. In 2006, she wrote, what do you imagine is a fun sex thing? I'll do what I can, even though if this is simply about you having sex with someone else, I. I don't know how to make our relationship better. I'll try to find girls whenever we're in New York. Some messages suggest Nadia knew Epstein preferred his women young, but we found no evidence in the files that she ever introduced him to girls that were underage. Nevertheless, even recruiting adults through deception for exploitative purposes can be defined as trafficking. Well, that's true. Look, the most heinous crime one can commit is against children. Everybody knows that. But just because you're of age doesn't mean you can't be trafficked. Now, does it mean you don't have responsibility for what you do while you're being trafficked? I don't believe that. But it certainly would mitigate some of the penalty if you got arrested and you were involved in something like this. You know, you start out as a victim, and then the genesis is you become an abuser yourself. I think that a jury and the court would be sympathetic to that. Now, does that mean you're going to walk? No, it does not. But I truly believe that Nadia has one chance here. If she comes forward now and gets ahead of all of this and tells everybody what she knows. I think people are going to be very receptive to that. The problem is I don't think Nadia is going to do it. And in the last episode we were talking about how Jeffrey Epstein wanted her to cook eggs. Here's the whole email. I want you to learn how to cook eggs. Scrambled, poached, over easy, shrimp, broiled, baked, boiled and sauces for it. Fresh fruit, drinks. I want you to learn how to set a table and present food. I want you to learn how to run a house. I want no arguments during the Monday to Friday week issues. Must wait for the weekend. No more bitching about redacted. I've had enough for a lifetime. I want you to read one of the hundred great books every month. There is a readily available list. I want you to exercise four times per week, every week. I want you to type at 60 words a minute. I want beautiful things only in my house. You can't put anything in without letting me see it first. Well, if that's the rule, this ugly should have left the house asap. Has there ever been anybody as goofy looking as Jeffrey Epstein's bitch ass? That same year 2006, Epstein emailed a request to Brunel to put Marcinkova on the payroll of Brunel's new modeling agency, MC2, and paid her $50,000 a year. It's not clear what the salary was for as Marcinkova was no longer working as a model, but whatever she was expected to do is she was clearly uncomfortable about her dependency on Epstein. Putting her on the payroll was for the immigration fraud. She has to have a job, right? She has to have some kind of form of income. So Jeffrey Epstein reaches out to the guy who facilitated Nadia's abuse in the first place, Jean Luc Brunel, and he ends up giving her the job at MC2. And that fortifies her immigration position with inside. In one email to him that year, she wrote, since I met you, my life revolves around you. There's nothing else I have and it makes me feel very uneasy. But in 2009, at the same time she was visiting Epstein in jail, she appears to have begun to lessen her financial dependency on him by taking to the air. Epstein paid tens of thousands of dollars for her to train as a pilot. Emails between them show, which he apparently did with with great enthusiasm, promoting herself on social media as Global Girl. That was money making for her because she was invited to fly a lot of airplanes and do a lot of videos Says aviation journalist Christine Negrani, who says she met Marcinkova in 2013. Nadia was delightful, she was charming company and she worked very hard attending flight schools to get her certificates one after another. These are not easy accomplishments. And look there, it's, it's not easy to become a pilot, no doubt about it. And I truly wish Nadia would just come forward, tell her story, get it on wax and get her life moving in a different direction. Maybe come out as some kind of, you know, advocate something, because the longer she stays quiet, the longer she, you know, sticks to the shadows, the harder it's going to be to convince people that she was somebody that, that was coerced and abused herself. Despite her new apparent independence, Marcinkova's relationship with Epstein continued after his release from prison in July 2009, email show. It seems to have even intensified by October that year. They were trying to have a baby together, the email suggests. And she maintained a role as a scout, the files reveal. In one email that year, she asked his opinion of a specific woman she says has offered to come over from Eastern Europe. But in 2010, they finally split up after he had been particularly violent towards her. She told the investigators. And this is the kind of thing that Nadia should say. She should come out, you know, get on one of these 2000s or whatever and tell her story or hell, Nadia, you are more than welcome to come on this show at any time and explain yourself. And a lot of people want to talk about, oh, Ghislaine Maxwell this, Ghislaine Maxwell that. Well, I think that Nadia, Sarah, Kellen and the rest of the core four also have a lot of very, very important information that we need. The following year, according to the account she gave him, she got a new work visa based on her own aviation job. So once she got out from under his grip and got the new visa, that would have been the perfect time to go to the authorities. But remember, we're talking about 2013. Epstein was alive, well, and still hanging out with some of the most powerful people on this whole ass planet. So we have to take that into account as well. Was Nadia scared? And I think that only Nadia can answer those questions. She and Epstein clearly remain friends, though she co piloted his private jet on some flights to his island from 2012. In 2013, he arranged for her to get a job as a flying instructor for the company of entrepreneur Dean Kamen, inventor of Segway. Messages between Marcinko, Marcinkova and Epstein in 2015 confirm what she told investigators that he agreed. That year to double whatever income she earned from other sources. We asked Cayman's company, deca, for a comment about its association with Marcinkova, but it did not reply. A spokesman for Cayman has previously said that the inventor deeply regrets having any interaction with Epstein and had no involvement in or knowledge of his crimes. But though Marcinkova appears to have been loyal to Epstein for years, in 2018 she finally switched sides. And that is what I'm talking about. She came forward, she stepped up, and I think that's a feather in her cap. I think it's important to note that she cooperated. And anybody who knows anything about a RICO case knows you have to have people like Marcinkova cooperating if you want to take the operation down. The following year, Epstein was jailed again while he awaited sex trafficking charges. In return, four years later, the FBI supported Marcinkova's application to stay in the U. S. After her visa ran out in 2022, the agency said that she had been recruited, harbored, and obtained by Epstein and others for purposes of coercive sexual relationship. Like I said, Nadia Marcinkova is not like the other core four. And I think her story has to be looked at through that other lens. Since then, Marcinkova has disappeared from public view. Social media posts suggest that she'd been, at least up until last year, an active member of the Zen Buddhist center in New York. Previously, her lawyer has said that she wants to eventually speak out about her victimization and help other survivors, but is currently working on her healing. Look, I'm going to reach out to Nadia and throw a Hail Mary. Maybe she wants to talk, and maybe she wants to explain herself and explain what went down. But the immunity given to Marcinko and the other three women in the 2008 plea deal is now being questioned. US Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna. Oh, our favorite person. Isn't she just so fantastic? I mean, when she's not making a fool of herself talking about Epstein, she's making a fool of herself talking about interdimensional beings and whatever other nonsense that this lady's cooking up, U.S. congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican member of the House Oversight Committee, said in February, apparently after seeing unredacted Epstein documents. All of these women engaged in the trafficking of minors as adults. They were working and complicit with Jeffrey Epstein's operation. She didn't mention anyone by name. And all of her little buddies on Twitter, which is an absolute dump these days, ran with it. Oh, these girls are all traffickers. They're all part of it completely absurd. But that was the goal. Confusion and so chaos. Anything to help Donnie Diddles. Though Kellen and Groff are about to give testimony, it appears that the committee has yet to decide whether to call Ross or Marcinkova. The judgment as to how far a victim can also be termed an accomplice is nuanced, says Bridget Carr, professor of clinical law at Michigan University, who has worked extensively with victims of human trafficking. She tries to discern whether the victim has continued to commit crimes after escaping the control of a perpetrator, bearing in mind that control may continue even if the perpetrator is not physically present in the victim's life. The line that I draw is whether the victim has ever been away from the power and control of the perpetrator. The question is whether it's reasonable that the victim would believe that the perpetrator still has power over them. And I think that is a fair assessment. But we're talking about some really deep issues here, and I think that those are issues that trained professionals should be breaking down. Not me. Fuck, I'm barely functioning. I'm half a moron over here. I certainly don't know anything about the human mind or the human condition. What I do know is this, though. This is not black and white, and there's a lot of nuance. What choices Nadia Marcinko had, if any, in the course of her long association with Jeffrey Epstein. It's impossible for an outsider to know. Documents in the files provide only glimpses of her life. But One email from 2012 is perhaps more revealing than most. I don't want to be with you, but it upsets me to see you use the same exact patterns to seduce, manipulate, and ultimately control and hurt other girls. I don't even like them, and I actually feel guilty about knowing how they'll end up, she wrote. I know what you're capable of, and I will always be protective of you out of pure loyalty and stubbornness. But my conscience is far from clear. Look, there's no doubt that Nadia Marcinkova lays in bed at night and thinks about what happened. At least I would hope so, right? If you have a conscience, you have a moral compass. You would think that she feels a lot of shame and she feels a lot of disgust about what went down. And I think it would serve her well and everybody else involved if she would come forward and speak, whether that's with Congress, whether that's with the media, whoever. Because if anybody has an Epstein story to tell, it's certainly Nadia Marcinkova. All right. Folks that's gonna do it for this one.
