The Black Card: 16 Pages of Daily Purchases
A 16-page American Express Centurion Card statement — the so-called “Black Card,” available only to ultra-high-net-worth clients — covers January 1 through May 8, 2017. Karyna Shuliak is named as a cardholder making hundreds of individual transactions charged to Epstein's account.
The charges include Seamless restaurant delivery, taxi rides across New York City, Marmur Medical dermatology appointments ($335.34 on January 3 alone), Bloomingdale's, Bergdorf Goodman, Whole Foods, Amazon, Netflix, and iTunes. On a single day — January 3, 2017 — at least eleven separate charges appear under her name.
The statement, document ID vol00009-efta00797912-pdf, was among the materials seized by federal investigators. It places Shuliak in New York City on a near-daily basis throughout the first four months of 2017, using a card tied directly to Epstein's account.
Island Logistics: $28,020 Furniture Order from China
In January 2018, Karyna Shuliak was personally managing a custom outdoor furniture order from Heshan Ruihui Furniture Co., Ltd. in China — destined for Epstein's private island in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands.
Emails from Andy Ho of the Chinese manufacturer, preserved in document vol00009-efta00541166-pdf, show Shuliak directing the order's specifications: “Let's do 20 square ottomans please, like those next to the chairs on your file.” The total invoice came to $28,020 — $15,300 in shipping costs plus a $12,720 balance for the furniture itself.
Shipping documentation required coordination with Daphne Wallace, Bella Klein, and Richard Kahn, and a customs broker in West Palm Beach, Florida. Documents vol00009-efta00541320-pdf and vol00009-efta00540609-pdf show the entire team CC'd on ISF-10 customs filings as the container moved from Shenzhen, China to Miami — and onward to St. Thomas.
Forensic Extraction: 19,830 Contacts on Her Mac
Investigators forensically extracted data from a Mac computer identified as device NYC024329.aff4 with a device path of /Users/karyna/. The extraction, detailed in document vol00009-efta00513953-pdf, catalogued 19,830 contacts stored in Shuliak's personal email application — a figure reflecting years of accumulated correspondence at the center of Epstein's operation.
The forensic image was processed as part of the broader seizure of Epstein-network devices following his July 2019 arrest. The scale of her contact database underscores the breadth of her relationships across the network.
The Trust: $120 Million Named Before His Death
The trust documents anchoring Shuliak's financial connection to Epstein are also part of the seized archive. The Jeffrey E. Epstein 2019 Trust, signed January 18, 2019 (vol00010-efta01266134-pdf), was amended and restated on February 4, 2019 (vol00009-efta00128921-pdf) — with Darren K. Indyke and Richard D. Kahn named as trustees.
A subsequent amendment executed August 8, 2019 — two days before Epstein died in federal custody — elevated Shuliak to the primary beneficiary position, designating $100 million in cash and a $20 million lifetime annuity. She was 28 years old at the time.
16,129 Mentions and Counting
The InvArchives entity database logs Karyna Shuliak with 16,129 document mentions — placing her among the most-referenced individuals in the entire Epstein archive. The documents span at least five years of activity across New York City, the Virgin Islands, and international supply chains.
The combination of a Black Card on Epstein's account, direct management of island logistics, and placement at the top of his estate in the final days of his life paints a picture of someone who was far more than a bystander.
