Glenn Dubin:
the character reference

Almost everyone in this archive is documented tolerating Epstein after the conviction. The Dubins are documented affirmatively vouching for him.

There is a difference between continuing to take a call and putting your name to a written statement that a convicted child sex offender is safe around children. The first is passive. The second is the step that makes the rest of the method work — supplying standing to someone who has lost it.

And the relationship behind it was among the deepest in the whole record. Eva Andersson dated Epstein for close to a decade in the 1980s before marrying Glenn Dubin in 1994. Epstein was godfather to their children. One or both Dubins appear on his aircraft at least eighteen times between 1996 and 2005, often with the children and a nanny.

It was also financial, and that is where it stops being a private matter. Epstein was an early investor in Highbridge Capital, and reporting indicates he had a hand in JPMorgan’s 2004 acquisition of the firm. A February 2026 Bloomberg investigation reports that Eva Andersson-Dubin helped open the hedge fund world to him.

Which places the Dubins inside the question the bank litigation turned on. The Virgin Islands argued JPMorgan kept Epstein because he was commercially useful — that what he supplied was introductions and deals. Highbridge is among the largest documented examples of exactly that.

The contested material is serious and this page does not soften it, but it is contested. Giuffre testified in 2016 that Maxwell directed her to Dubin. Their former household manager, Rinaldo Rizzo, testified he found a distressed fifteen-year-old at the house in 2005 who said Epstein had brought her. Both are sworn accounts. Neither was tested at trial. Dubin denies both, and produced records in response to the first.

One document in the release has not been reported and this page cannot yet explain it. A Settlement and Release Agreement dated 1 August 2011 was entered into between Dubin and “the Epstein Parties” — Epstein himself and Jecpers, Inc., a US Virgin Islands corporation. That is four years before Giuffre named him publicly, and two years before the deposition. The released excerpt shows only the opening recital: what was being settled, by whom against whom, and for what consideration are all outside the visible text. It may concern something entirely unrelated to the allegations on this page, and this archive does not assume otherwise. The document is EFTA01200065.

So the page rests where the evidence is firmest. Strip out everything disputed, and a signed letter remains — written a year after the conviction, about children, on behalf of a man on the sex offender register.

The 2009 letter is worth dwelling on because it names a mechanism this archive documents everywhere but rarely catches in writing.

Step three of the method is use an intermediary with standing. Epstein’s entire post-conviction operation depended on other people lending him credibility he could no longer generate himself.

Usually that lending is inferred — from a dinner invitation, a donation accepted, a photograph. Here it is explicit, signed, and specifically about children.

And a character reference is not a private opinion. It is an instrument. It exists to be shown to someone — a court, a school, an institution, a parent — who is deciding whether to trust the subject. Its whole function is to transfer the signer’s reputation to the person being vouched for.

Which is why the specific wording matters so much. Not “I believe he is innocent,” which would be an opinion about the past. “Comfortable around my children” is a forward-looking assurance about risk — offered by a physician and a financier about a man who had just pleaded guilty to soliciting a fourteen-year-old.

This archive has no evidence about who saw that letter or what it achieved. It may have circulated widely or gone nowhere. That is genuinely unknown, and the page will not guess.

But it answers a question the site keeps asking. How did a convicted sex offender walk back into scientific institutions, banks and boardrooms within a year? Partly like this. Somebody with standing wrote it down and signed it.
