Glenn Dubin — co-founder of Highbridge Capital Management, one of the largest hedge funds in the world when it was sold to JPMorgan in 2004 — was among Jeffrey Epstein’s closest personal friends and social connections in the New York hedge fund world.
The Friendship
Dubin and Epstein knew each other from at least the 1990s and were close personal friends for decades. The relationship extended to Dubin’s wife, Eva Anderson Dubin, a former Playmate and physician. Epstein was a regular presence in the Dubins’ social circle.
Social Access
Through the Dubin friendship, Epstein gained access to the inner social world of New York’s hedge fund elite — a world where Dubin was a prominent figure. The Highbridge connection placed Epstein in the most serious of financial circles, reinforcing his claimed identity as a financial professional.
The Virginia Giuffre Allegation
In the documents from Giuffre v. Maxwell, Virginia Giuffre made allegations involving Glenn Dubin — allegations he denied. His name appears in depositions and related materials. The allegations were among the named claims in the sealed documents that were subsequently unsealed in 2024.
Dubin’s Response
Glenn Dubin denied any sexual misconduct allegations and stated that his relationship with Epstein was purely social. His lawyers disputed the characterizations in the Maxwell litigation.
The Hedge Fund World Connection
The Dubin-Epstein friendship illustrates how Epstein’s claimed financial identity was reinforced by genuine friendships with major figures in the hedge fund world — giving him the social credibility to present himself as one of their peers even without the verifiable financial track record.
