Jeffrey Epstein prosecutors have asked hedge-fund billionaire Glenn Dubin to hand over any documents that show communication between the late pedophile and his three children, according to newly released court papers.
Officials in the US Virgin Islands – where Epstein owned a private island – filed a subpoena in September, seeking ‘all documents and communications related to any of your three children, Maye, Celina or Jordan, which also relate in any way to Jeffrey Epstein or any Epstein entity.’
Dubin, 63, and his wife Eva Andersson-Dubin, 59, have long been connected to Epstein, with Eva dating Epstein in the 1980s for 11 years.
The couple remained staunch friends of the convicted pedophile throughout the years, and were regulars at his home in New York City and Palm Beach, Florida.
They were so close that Epstein told associates in 2014 that if he was ever to get married, it would have been to the couple’s daughter Celina, who was 19 years old at the time and called him ‘Uncle Jeff’, according to Business Insider.
Epstein said he wanted Celina to inherit some of his reputed $500 million fortune, including his private island, and marriage would help avoid inheritance taxes.
There is no evidence that Epstein ever had a romantic relationship with Celina.

In 2014, Epstein named Celina as a beneficiary to his trust, but she was removed in 2015 before the Dubin family was aware that she was listed. A source familiar with Epstein’s finances said the trust amounted to around $50 million in 2019.
Last August, it was revealed that the Dubin family was financially, philanthropically and socially tied to Epstein for decades before his death.
After Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting a child for prostitution, the Dubins wrote an email to his probation officer saying they were ‘100% comfortable’ with Epstein interacting with Celina, who was then 14 years old.
‘I could not ask for a better friend or godfather to my children,’ Eva wrote.
However, the family appeared to publicly distance themselves from Epstein after his arrest in July 2019.
Davidson Goldin, the Dubin family spokesperson, echoed the sentiment in a statement.
‘Glenn saw him perhaps once a year in large group settings and had no business interactions with him whatsoever after 2007. Eva and Celina Dubin accepted less than a handful of invitations to gatherings that included the founder of Microsoft and a DNA pioneer.’
‘The Dubins are horrified by Jeffrey Epstein’s despicable conduct. Had they been aware of it, they would have cut off all ties instantly,’ he said.
Epstein’s death was ruled a suicide in August 2019. His alleged madam Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested in connection to his alleged sex trafficking ring this 2020. She is being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City.

The subpoena states that it is requesting any documents related to Dubin and Epstein from January 1, 1998 to the present.
It also asks for ‘all Documents and Communications regarding a Swedish female traveling with or employed by Jeffrey Epstein or regarding transportation You provided or arranged for her,’ as well as any papers that regard the departure of Rinaldo and Debra Rizzo.
Rinaldo Rizzo worked as a butler for the Dubins. During a 2016 deposition which was revealed publicly for the first time last year where he tearfully described seeing a 15-year-old girl in his boss’s kitchen in 2005.
He testified in his deposition that the girl was brought to the home by Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein, who were visiting the Dubins.
The butler said that the girl reminded him of other girls he saw at Epstein’s home.Rizzo said the girl sat in a stool next to a kitchen counter in the Dubins’ home.
She was ‘distraught and shaking…literally quivering’ as she described her treatment at the hands of Epstein’s alleged madam, and her assistant, Sarah Kellen, in the US Virgin Islands.

He claims the girl told him that they had demanded sex from her and taken away her passport and threatened her when she refused.
Rizzo testified in a deposition which was part of Giuffre’s defamation lawsuit brought against Maxwell.
Giuffre also accused Dubin of participating in the sex-trafficking ring, according to court documents.
The Dubins have denied these allegations, with a spokesperson for the couple telling DailyMail.com: ‘Glenn and Eva Dubin are outraged by the allegations against them in the unsealed court records and categorically reject them.’
Epstein prosecutors also are seeking ‘all Documents and Communications related to or reflecting any massage you received at any of Jeffrey Epstein’s properties or performed by someone sent to Your property at the direction of Jeffrey Epstein’.
