New Emails Detail Epstein's Role Sending 'Global Girl' To Kamen And DEKA

By Leonard Robinson, NH Journal

Emails in the latest Epstein files release appear to show the infamous sex offender directly involved in connecting New Hampshire inventor Dean Kamen with a female pilot — one who victims claim was involved in Epstein’s crimes.

The emails are the latest evidence that Kamen’s connections to Epstein were far more extensive than he’s previously admitted.

The pilot in question is Nadia Marcinko — a woman described in victim testimony as both a trafficking victim and an alleged participant in Epstein’s abuse network. She also flew for Kamen and his Manchester engineering company, DEKA Research & Development.

The emails, timestamped April 15, 2013, offer the most direct documentary evidence yet of how the relationship between Kamen and Marcinkova came to be — and who was pulling the strings behind it.

Writing to a redacted recipient, Epstein claimed he could secure a full-time job as a flight instructor for Kamen. Epstein detailed Kamen’s assets, noting his staff of 400 engineers, his helicopter, and his Embraer Phenom 300 business jet — and explained that Kamen wanted all his engineers to learn to fly.

The successful candidate, Epstein explains, would learn to fly helicopters and Kamen’s small jet, and would be based in New Hampshire.

In a disturbing addition to the professional pitch, Epstein noted that Kamen was “61, never married so no girlfriends to worry about.” Minutes prior, Epstein had received an email from an individual named “Larry,” who confirmed flying with Kamen for three hours that day. Larry provided a strong recommendation for the candidate, noting that Kamen was even willing to throw in a helicopter license “as a bonus.”

The second email, a reply chain from the same afternoon, shows a figure identified only as “Larry” reporting back to Epstein that he had just flown with Kamen for three hours in Kamen’s jet, reaching Mach .75. Larry tells Epstein that Kamen “really quizzed” him about the candidate, that Kamen “really wants her as a flight instructor,” and that Kamen was even “willing to get her a helicopter license as a bonus.” Larry adds that he gave her “a great recommendation” and closes by asking whether it is “appropriate to mention this job” to the candidate, as “Dean wants to meet her.” Epstein’s reply to Larry is three words: “I will handle.”

While the candidate’s name is redacted in the released documents, the circumstantial evidence pointing to Nadia Marcinko—also known as Nadia Marcinkova—is substantial and has been reported by multiple outlets.

Marcinkova is a Slovak-born pilot who, according to victim testimony and law enforcement records, was allegedly brought to the United States by Epstein as a teenager. Epstein reportedly told associates he had “purchased” her from her family. According to reporting by the Miami Herald, during Epstein’s first incarceration in 2008–2009 for sex crimes against minors, Marcinkova visited him 70 times, and used that period to begin flight training at Palm Beach County Park Airport.

Aviation journalist Christine Negroni, who investigated the Epstein-Kamen-Marcinko nexus in a 2020 report, noted that Marcinkova told her in 2013 that she was flying an Embraer Phenom 300, but declined to say for whom. The connection is difficult to ignore: at that time, the Embraer Phenom 300 was the exact model of jet owned by Dean Kamen’s company DEKA.

Within months of those 2013 emails, it was publicly announced to DEKA employees that Marcinko had been hired as the instructor for the company’s employee “flying club.” She also incorporated her aviation marketing company, Aviloop, using DEKA’s Manchester office address as her official business address.

Marcinkova marketed herself as “Global Girl” and “Gulfstream Girl” on social media, using photos and videos of herself to promote her company.

Also in January 2014, someone identified in Epstein’s files only as “Nadia M.” emailed Epstein a link to one of Kamen’s products—a high-efficiency in-home generator—suggesting it could be useful on Epstein’s private Caribbean island, where federal investigators say much of his sexual abuse and trafficking took place.

The newly released emails add to Kamen’s growing PR troubles in the wake of federal Epstein records showing he had visited Epstein’s private Caribbean island and exchanged numerous emails and professional favors with Epstein between 2011 and 2014 — years after Epstein’s first criminal conviction.

One email between the two men’s assistants refers to flying on Dean’s plane to St. Thomas, the location of Epstein’s infamous island, and flying “the girls” down to Palm Beach as part of the planning.

Kamen has described his relationship with Epstein to DEKA employees as mere “networking.” He has not been accused of any criminal wrongdoing or sexual misconduct. Beta Technologies has commissioned an independent legal review of the Epstein-related disclosures and says Kamen is cooperating.

Kamen’s Epstein connections have also created headaches for Democratic congressional candidate Stefany Shaheen, who until January was chief strategy officer at Kamen’s Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute (ARMI). Shaheen has never explained her duties at the high-tech biofirm, an industry for which she appears to have no expertise. Her political opponents suspect her six-figure salary was a way for Kamen to curry favor for Shaheen’s mother, U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, who helped funnel millions of federal dollars to his company.

Marcinko, who was one of four alleged Epstein associates granted immunity from prosecution under the widely criticized 2008 non-prosecution agreement negotiated by then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, has never been criminally charged. Her attorneys have maintained that she is herself a victim of Epstein’s trafficking, stating that she “has been severely traumatized” and needed time to process her experiences.

Marcinkova has not been publicly seen since January 2024, when she reportedly disappeared from her New York City address around the time the first major tranche of Epstein court documents was unsealed. Recent unverified reports have claimed she may be living in a Zen monastery in New York state. Her current whereabouts remain unknown.
