Six years ago, in the final days of Jeffrey Epstein’s life, a federal judge released
Six years ago, in the final days of Jeffrey Epstein’s life, a federal judge released documents from Virginia Giuffre’s defamation case against Ghislaine Maxwell. The documents included a bit of testimony that stayed in my head for a long time and I doubt I am alone.
Rinaldo Rizzo, “house manager” for New York hedge fund titan Glenn Dubin and his wife Eva Andersson-Dubin – Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-fiancée and a former Miss Sweden – described an incident in the family kitchen that still so upset him he was crying when he told it to lawyers years later.
In around 2004, Rizzo encountered a “very attractive, beautiful young girl. Makeup, very put together, casual dress. But she seemed to be upset, maybe distraught, and she was shaking… Shaking, I mean literally quivering … She proceeds to tell my wife and I that, and this is not – this is blurting out, not a conversation like I’m having a casual conversation. That quickly, I was on an island, I was on the island and there was Ghislaine, there was Sarah [presumably Epstein aide Sarah Kellen], she said they asked me for sex, I said no. And she is just rambling.”
The girl also appeared to be drugged or disoriented, and didn’t know how she had gotten from the island back to New York. She claimed Maxwell had taken her passport, another aide had seized her phone, and that she had “been threatened.”
“Was she in fear?” the lawyer asked.
“Yes.”
“You could tell?”
“Yes. She was shaking uncontrollably.”
For years, that image has haunted me and probably anyone else who read through those pages.
Who was this girl? How did she get home? Is she okay now?
At the time, the Dubins issued a statement through their lawyer denying the account. They’ve never been subpoenaed over it. The question didn’t even come up at Maxwell’s 2021 trial where Eva Andersson-Dubin appeared as a character witness. She testified that she didn’t remember meeting a witness who had described group massage orgies. On cross-examination, a prosecutor asked if she had any memory problems. “It’s very hard for me to remember anything far back and sometimes I can’t remember things from last month,” she said. “My family notices it. I notice it. It’s been an issue.”
Yesterday, the Swedish newspaper Expressenpublished a bombshell investigation that might jog her memory about some of her nannies.
The tabloid tracked down what it claimed were classified ads placed by the Dubins in the Göteborgs-Posten, “repeatedly in the early 2000s” seeking nannies or au pairs to come to New York. The paper contacted some of the women who, as teens, answered those ads. Two spoke, but identified themselves only by their first names: Hanna and Susanne. Both said the Dubins introduced them to Epstein, both were housed in the Manhattan building where Epstein kept his trafficked girls and where his lawyer and accountant had offices.
Hanna told the paper that Epstein visited frequently during her time with the Andersson-Dubin family, often with a few 20-year-old, tall, slim, attractive (and mostly silent) women in tow. “I remember that he always had different young girls with him as company,” she said. “And I understood from the staff that it was always like that.”
Susanne recalled that Epstein “gave a very mysterious impression.” She said he spoke enough Swedish to say, “Hey, how are you?” and seemed friendlier than Glenn Dubin, who called her “Swedish Girl” and never learned her name. “I thought, God, what a nice man. He lives here in this luxurious house, why isn’t Eva with him?” But then she visited Epstein’s mansion with the Dubin children and followed them into a room filled with pictures of naked girls. After that, she said, “I thought he was creepy.”
Both girls said they were brought to New York as tourists without au pair visas and their salaries were paid in cash. At the Epstein building where they were housed, Hanna said she met girls her age – good-looking girls he “helped,” she said, using air quotes. “There were many girls my age who in various ways might have earned money by performing various services. They got a slap on the backside. It was like no big deal.”
“Everything came to an abrupt end when another Swedish girl came to the family,” Expressen reported. According to Hanna, the girl – who was younger than the others – had answered the classified ad and was flown to New York, but then sent to Jeffrey Epstein’s island. The girl “thought she would be some kind of assistant and it turned out that the assistant job was not at all what she had thought,” Hanna told Expressen, adding that the girl seemed traumatized. “I’ve thought about it a lot because I didn’t ask more about what was happening.”
After that, things changed. Eva turfed Hanna out.
“Eva then told me one day, ‘We don’t need you anymore. You can’t keep working.’ Then they more or less threw me out on the street. Back then, it was convenient that there was no au pair organization or visa. So, you can’t keep on hiring people legally.”
The Dubins have denied knowledge of Epstein’s crimes, and speaking to Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter through a PR agent, denied that they ever employed a 15-year-old Swedish girl or transported such a person from Sweden. Expressen reported it has “been in contact with more nannies than those quoted in the text. They do not want or dare not tell about their experiences.”
Whatever the deal was with the Dubins and the nannies, one thing is certain: Epstein had a thing for blondes. He joked with his pals about “shiksas,” the Yiddish pejorative for non-Jewish women. There are 923 hits on the word “blonde” in the Epstein files. The emails and texts reflect hours of scheduling and discussion with hairdressers about getting his girls the “right shade,” as well as slobbering talk of blondes between Epstein and his johns and suppliers. One memo recorded a call from Jean Luc Brunel advising Epstein that he had a girl “age 8x2” ready to come over and teach him Russian – albeit “not blonde.”
Epstein especially prized Swedish girls. He might never have gotten over losing former Miss Sweden to Glenn Dubin after 10 years of dating. In an email to Bill Gates’ lieutenant Boris Nikolic he expressed his regrets: “we were together for ten years. she wanted marriage , AGGHHH. she married glenn dubin. Untrustwaorthy prick. howver he allowed me to enjoy raising my goddaughter. [sic]” .
Epstein also told friends that he wanted to marry the Dubins’ 19-year-old daughter, Celina, who had been taught as a girl to call him “Uncle Jeff.”
Besides the Dubin nannies, Epstein had another supply chain for hot Svear babes: a whole organization devoted to training young female Swedish economists.
DOJ files contain dozens of emails with, and mentions of, Barbro C. Ehnbom, a Swedish economist who in 2001 created Barbro’s Best and Brightest (BBB) with the aim “to promote future women leaders through mentorship and interdisciplinary idea-exchange” at the Stockholm School of Economics. Apparently Epstein put money into her projects, including her Swedish American Life Science Summit (SALSS), and had persuaded her that he was just the man to get her best and brightest young women networked into New York finance.
Epstein clearly had other aims. In many of the emails, he asks Barbro to send photos of individuals in her latest class, and frequently inquires about her finding him a wife or at least a new assistant. Their relationship dated back to at least 2003. In a 2009 email sent to a redacted woman while he was serving time in jail, Epstein wrote: “barbro just sent me a photo you look great”.
In 2017, Barbro wrote him: “if you send me a cell phone number, I can start sending you photos from BBB, much easier than e-mail”.
Epstein repeatedly asked her for possible wives.
Barbro’s first reply on 8/20/12: “How about this year’s SALSS Project Manager [redacted] - brainy and sen=sual! Picture attached!”
The next morning, Barbro followed up with a jpg: “She is the one!”
“Here are the girls you selected,” Barbro emailed Epstein in April 2014, adding that one

The organization has a 300-person closed BBB Facebook group. One can only imagine the conversations underway there as the Epstein files spill out.
