In 2001, Jean-Luc Brunel brought Nadia from Slovakia to Jeffrey Epstein as a teenager. Within a year she was living in his Manhattan apartment and recruiting underage girls into his circle — conduct that, when the 2008 federal deal landed, made her one of the named beneficiaries of its immunity. The relationship hardened into something with a price: Epstein covered her rent, her credit cards, and a full commercial pilot track culminating in a Gulfstream IV captain's rating (EFTA01711951, EFTA01983922, EFTA01839670), all logged on his accountant's ledger as compensation — $588,000 over thirty months (EFTA01960744).
When Brunel's agency dropped her modeling visa in 2011, the deal was restructured. She launched Aviloop (EFTA01861300) — nominally a Groupon for private aviation, in practice a website that never changed, with no real customers and a launch promo of young women in cabin-crew uniforms called "Deal Attendants." Its real function was to receive Epstein's money in a form the immigration system would accept. By 2013, with her E-2 renewal looming, she scripted the wires herself: $100,000 split into a fake buyer's-rep commission and a fake pilot-services fee, routed from an account not in Epstein's name (EFTA01959986, EFTA01755638). She had him saved in her phone as "JE Jail."
Then Epstein tried to flip the flow. In late 2013 he began routing his own pilot's invoices to Aviloop and demanding she pay them (EFTA01949376, EFTA01119250) — $20k here (EFTA01753491), $16k there (EFTA00872209). She refused outright, replying that she found it "hard to believe" he needed money from her (EFTA01753491), and reminding him of "the long overdue agreement from a decade ago" (EFTA01949376) — the unwritten debt dating to her arrival as a teenager. Epstein backed down; the pilot bills were rerouted through his JEGE entity (EFTA01756490).
The pattern held to the end. In 2018, JEGE signed Aviloop to broker the sale of Epstein's Gulfstream IV with a commission payable only on closing (EFTA00797507) — and six weeks later Epstein wired $45,000 anyway, against a sale that never happened (EFTA01015310). After his death in 2019, TD Bank's suspicious-activity report named Aviloop first among twenty-five entities used, the bank wrote, to "disguise the sources of funds as originating with Jeffrey Epstein" (EFTA01656524). Federal prosecutors ordered the account kept open (EFTA00097221).
Aviloop was never a company. It was the receipt for an agreement made between Nadia and Epstein, and the one place the leverage ran the other way.

The E-2 is a U.S. nonimmigrant visa for citizens of countries with a qualifying treaty of commerce with the United States. It requires the holder to invest a substantial amount of capital in a real, operating American business that earns more than marginal income, and renewals require proof the business is active, with bank statements and revenue. Slovakia is a treaty country, so Marcinko was eligible to apply.

I am thankful for many things. I remember both the good and the bad very well. I appreciate what you have done and this conversation does not affect that. I remember. I am saying the way you treat me now is not what you promised and it's also not good enough, considering the consequences I am left to deal with.
You seem to enjoy repeating the notion that I think 'the world owes me something' — I have not addressed it before because I thought is was just another dramatization and you couldn't actually mean it, but I'd like to avoid you putting words in my mouth and later saying it was 'mentioned 50 times'; The world doesn't owe me anything. I only think you owe me what you promised. There is a difference. Nobody else made promises and reneged on deals with me. Only you. Again — not taking away from all the other helpful things you did – this is the other side of the story.
You wrote: "I woudl like to imagine that that you would have done quite well without my help. but frankly, so far , it doesn;t really appear that way, does it, ?" – I told you about the flying car deal potentially worth millions, that I spent months negotiating and working on – without your help. I just got the news that the whole deal is now off because of the press caused by you, and this is your response… No 'I am sorry, how can I help', but 'it doesn't appear you have done all that well' – Are you serious?
You focus on my lifestyle when I met you, at 18… The fact is back then I was actually well ahead of my peers. The more time I spent with you and put my own life and aspirations on hold, the further behind I fell, until I started flying (the last year of our relationship). I was a teenager in love. You were 51. I made some stupid decisions by following your lead because I didn't know better. You assured me you knew what you were doing. Yet I spent our last years together waking up in panic every morning to quickly scroll through my phone mailbox and hope there isn't another angry email from you pointing out how I displeased you again. Regardless of how hard I tried to keep you happy, there was always something you could pick on. True, some of those times you were right and I lived in a beautiful house and had new clothes, but it was hardly the fairytale you describe. I loved you and I wanted to spend time with you — that's the only reason I stayed for so long.
You talk about all the stuff you bought me — the clothes that are now 10 years old have little value. What I value more are the things I learned to do (and not to do) by being around you. You have taught me well and many of those lessons are invaluable. I used to crumble and cry the moment you raised your voice, but over the years I learned to deal with endless criticism, verify information and spot bullshit (among other things of course). J.E.U. is a great school for those who can handle it. You seem to forget I've been through it and I know you, your routines and patterns better than anyone else. Your successful use of tricks makes me smile because I can appreciate how clever you are. I am even kind of proud of you for getting away with them, I am just amazed when you try the same old tricks on me.
Promising your girls apartments, shopping sprees, cars, money and security forever is second nature for you. Dangling those carrots as long as possible and then playing into the girls' insecurity by making them feel stupid for 'misunderstanding' the terms of those promises is cute. Clever. And if I weren't on the receiving end, I'd give you credit. But please…you can't actually be attempting to put me in the same bracket. I didn't misunderstand. I remember. We both do, so I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish with all this arguing. Is this really worth it? We used to get along, we could have continued to be great friends, but this is not fun.
The way your treated me in Paris was completely unjustified. There were times in the past I may have deserved that, but I did nothing wrong this time. A week before the Europe trip I flew to Isj and we had a nice time. All of a sudden you started treated me badly, lied about schedule, spoiling my birthday trip, guests, left me no place to stay in paris, lied about apartment, and when I asked why, you yelled and said things you can never take back. That's not ok. So yes, my emails sound resentful, I am very disappointed and unfortunately I am not able or willing to come up with more excuses for your actions. There simply aren't any. You hold a special place in my life and at the same time I find this behavior sad and indefensible so I am conflicted about how to address it. I don't want to fight with you but I am not going to forget about the carrots, keep paying the price, losing opportunities and walk away as if everything was ok. It's not. I am still waiting for you to realize that and do the right thing.
And btw, I still eat popcorn for my main meal.
