In one email to him that year, she wrote: “Since I met you, my life revolves around you, there is 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 dependence 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 she apparently did 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 aeroplanes and do a lot of videos,” says aviation journalist Christine Negroni, who says she met Marcinko 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.”
Epstein later paid for Marcinko to train as a pilot, emails show
Despite her new apparent independence, Marcinko’s relationship with Epstein continued after his release from prison in July 2009, emails show. It seems to have even intensified.
By October of that year they were trying to have a baby together, the emails suggest.
And she maintained her role as a scout, the files reveal. In one email that year, she asks 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.
The following year, according to the account she gave them, she got a new work visa based on her own aviation job.
