Natalia Molotkova, also known as Natasha, served as a Centurion Relationship Manager for American Express, working as a dedicated travel agent who arranged extensive flight and hotel bookings for Jeffrey Epstein's network from 2010 through at least 2019. The archive documents 20,623 emails in which Molotkova coordinated travel logistics for dozens of individuals in Epstein's orbit, primarily communicating with his assistant Lesley Groff. Her role involved booking international flights, luxury hotels, and ground transportation for women traveling to meet Epstein, often on short notice and using Epstein's American Express Centurion Card to process payments.

Molotkova operated as a key logistical facilitator in Epstein's network, arranging travel for individuals including young women from Eastern Europe, architects, scientists, and other associates. The correspondence shows her booking flights from locations including Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other cities to Epstein's properties in New York, Palm Beach, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Paris. According to reporting by Ukraine Today, Molotkova arranged flights for at least one woman from Odessa, Ukraine, as part of Epstein's recruitment network.

Background#

Molotkova worked as a Centurion Relationship Manager for American Express's premium concierge service. The American Express Centurion Card is an invitation-only charge card that provides 24/7 personalized concierge services for travel, dining, and event reservations. As documented in the archive, Molotkova worked Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM EST, with occasional extended hours. She used the email address [email protected] and communicated primarily through American Express's travel reservation system.

Public information about Molotkova's background is limited. Social media profiles suggest she may have Russian or Eastern European origins, consistent with her fluency in booking complex international itineraries involving Russian and Eastern European destinations. According to recent reporting, Molotkova engaged with Epstein's operation to arrange travel for women from Ukraine to Paris in 2018.

Correspondence with Epstein#

The archive contains over 20,600 emails involving Molotkova between January 2010 and December 2023, with Molotkova appearing as the sender in 18,838 messages. The correspondence reveals her role as the primary travel coordinator for Epstein's network, working almost exclusively through Lesley Groff, Epstein's longtime assistant, who appears in 2,091 shared emails.

The pattern of correspondence shows Molotkova booking travel on extremely short notice, often within 24-48 hours of departure. In November 2018, she arranged a last-minute round-trip ticket from Moscow to Astana, Kazakhstan for Natalya Litvinova, a Russian citizen born June 21, 1994. The same month, she coordinated complex multi-city travel for Karyna Shuliak and her parents, booking business class flights from Newark to Las Vegas ($5,550.60 for three tickets) followed by connections to Albuquerque and return to New York.

In December 2018, Molotkova arranged travel to Morocco for multiple individuals including Karyna, booking Royal Air Maroc flights from Paris and luxury accommodations at hotels including the Mandarin Oriental Marrakech. She coordinated three deluxe rooms at the Mandarin Oriental for December 19-21, 2018, at 850 EUR per night plus tax.

The correspondence documents Molotkova's facility with Eastern European travel logistics. In May 2018, she priced multiple routing options for travel from New York to Split, Croatia via Rome, comparing Aeroflot flights through Moscow ($1,636.01) with Iberia options through Madrid ($1,926.81).

Molotkova frequently arranged travel for women whose ages and circumstances raised questions about the nature of their trips. In August 2018, she booked tickets from St. Thomas to Miami for Ann Rodriguez and her daughter Emery Poleon, with Rodriguez returning to St. Thomas five days later after dropping Emery at school. The detailed coordination of passport information, birthdates, and seating arrangements for such trips was routine in her correspondence with Groff.

The archive shows Molotkova booking travel from St. Thomas (STT airport code), the gateway to Epstein's Little St. James island, on numerous occasions. Multiple threads document flights between STT and mainland U.S. cities, facilitating the movement of individuals to and from Epstein's private island.

Connections#

Molotkova's correspondence network centered almost entirely on Lesley Groff, with whom she shared 2,091 emails. Groff served as the primary intermediary, relaying Epstein's travel requirements and authorizing ticket purchases on his behalf.

Other frequent contacts included Karyna Shuliak (86 shared emails), for whom Molotkova arranged extensive international travel, and Bella Klein (165 shared emails), who also coordinated travel logistics within Epstein's organization.

The correspondence shows Molotkova booking travel for dozens of individuals, often young women from Eastern Europe, architects, scientists, and other Epstein associates. Recipients of her services included individuals traveling from Moscow, St. Petersburg, London, Paris, and other international locations to Epstein's properties.

The archive documents Molotkova's role in facilitating the interstate and international transportation of individuals, including young women from Eastern Europe, to meet Jeffrey Epstein. While her correspondence presents these arrangements as routine travel bookings, the pattern of activity falls within the scope of several federal statutes:

The documented coordination of travel for young women from Russia, Ukraine, and other countries to Epstein's U.S. properties, combined with knowledge of Epstein's purpose in bringing these individuals to the United States, constitutes conduct within the scope of 18 U.S.C. § 1591 (sex trafficking of children) and 18 U.S.C. § 2423 (transportation of minors for illegal sexual purposes) where the travelers were under 18. The November 2018 booking for Natalya Litvinova, born June 21, 1994 (age 24 at time of travel), and other adult women, combined with knowledge of Epstein's commercial sex operation, falls within the scope of 18 U.S.C. § 2421 (Mann Act - transportation for prostitution).

The systematic coordination of international travel from Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other locations, processed through American Express with Epstein's funds, constitutes conduct within the scope of 18 U.S.C. § 371 (conspiracy to commit federal offenses) and 18 U.S.C. § 2 (aiding and abetting). The use of interstate wire communications (email) to coordinate these trips falls within 18 U.S.C. § 1343 (wire fraud) if done with knowledge of unlawful purposes.
