Connection to Jeffrey Epstein

Prusakova met American financier and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2011.[2] She recruited women into Epstein's trafficking network, calling herself "Paris based Ghislaine Maxwell" in a 2013 email to Epstein.[3] Epstein financed some of Prusakova's Master of Law degree from the University of California, Berkeley.[3][2]

In 2018, she co-founded Crypto PR Lab, a pro-cryptocurrency public relations firm.[3]
