The high-flying hedge-fund manager, convicted sex offender and all-around sicko whose penchant for underage girls was well-known at the highest levels of society, was now caged.
His new home was not a lush island in the Caribbean but a jail cell in New York’s grim Metropolitan Detention Center.

Now, it has emerged that his final girlfriend — a youthful-looking Belarusian dentist named Karyna Shuliak — was the last person outside the jail to visit him before he was found hanging on Aug. 10, 2019, according to the Daily Mail.
A source told the tabloid that the pair had dated for seven years and were in a “very serious relationship.”
Shuliak’s name emerged as part of a freedom of information request that produced more than 4,000 pages. Almost all of Epstein’s other jailhouse visitors were lawyers.

He spoke on his final night alive with his girlfriend alone.
“Everyone had to leave the room because he was so eager to get on the phone,” a source told the Mail. “If he didn’t use the phone right then he would miss his window so the meeting ended abruptly and he went to use the phone and the lawyers all left.”
The nature of the call has never been made public but the financier apparently didn’t raise any red flags.
“When she hung up the phone she was not under the impression Epstein was suicidal,” a source said at the time.
Epstein was found dead in his cell the next day. An official autopsy ruled he had hanged himself, however, there is widespread doubt on that ruling.
Previously, Shuliak allegedly married Epstein insider Jennifer Kalin in what was allegedly a sham marriage to keep her from being deported from the U.S.

How Shuliak and sex fiend Epstein met remains a mystery, although he had many Eastern Europeans in his orbit.
Epstein also allegedly bought one of his alleged co-conspirators, Nadia Marcinkova, from her parents in the former Yugoslavia.
Shuliak apparently turned a blind eye to Epstein’s antics — possibly because he paid for her mom’s pricey medical treatments and bought her parents a mansion. And the Mail suggested that like other women in Epstein’s circle, she got a big pay day. She was also with him the day he was arrested.
Her last known address is Epstein’s private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
