This series is built from the ground up on the actual paper trail—unsealed court records, depositions, exhibits, emails, and filings that were never meant to be read by the public. No pundit panels. No spin. Just the documents themselves, examined line by line, name by name, connection by connection—paired with precise, document-driven analysis that explains what the record truly shows. Each episode opens the vault on newly unsealed or long-buried Epstein files and walks listeners through what they actually reveal about power, money, influence, and the systems that failed survivors at every turn. Alongside the filings themselves, informed commentary breaks down the legal strategy, the institutional behavior, the contradictions, and the implications hiding between the lines. From judges’ orders and sealed exhibits to sworn testimony and back-channel communications, the show connects the dots the media often won’t—or can’t. Patterns emerge. Timelines collapse. Excuses fall apart. The Vault is a working archive in aud…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-26T22:19:09.770621+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-vault-the-epstein-files-6841376"},"episode":{"title":"James Fine, Karyna Shuliak, and Columbia Dental’s Epstein Problem (6/3/26)","slug":"james-fine-karyna-shuliak-and-columbia-dental-s-epstein-problem-6-3-26","published_at":"2026-06-03T12:20:18+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-vault-the-epstein-files-6841376/james-fine-karyna-shuliak-and-columbia-dental-s-epstein-problem-6-3-26","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-vault-the-epstein-files-6841376","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/james-fine-karyna-shuliak-and-columbia-dental-s-epstein-problem-6-3-26--72286432","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72286432/colombiauniversitydrfine.mp3","summary":"Dr. James Fine, a longtime Columbia College of Dental Medicine administrator, is set to leave his post after newly scrutinized records showed he twice helped Karyna Shuliak, Jeffrey Epstein’s former girlfriend, gain entry into Columbia dental programs. The first instance involved her admission into the dental school after she had initially been rejected, during a period when Epstein was being courted as a potential major donor. The second involved Fine later recommending Shuliak for a postdoctoral program. The controversy grew because Columbia had already taken action against other dental school figures tied to Epstein-related admissions and fundraising questions, while Fine had remained in place despite documents showing his role in both episodes. The deeper issue is not merely one administrator leaving a university job; it is the pattern of elite institutions bending, softening, or bypassing normal procedures when Jeffrey Epstein’s money, access, or influence entered the room. Columbia has said Shuliak herself has not been found responsible for wrongdoing, but the admissions trail raises serious questions about who inside the school helped Epstein, why normal standards appeared to shift, and why accountability arrived only after documents forced the issue into public view. Fine’s exit adds another name to the fallout, but it also reinforces the larger Epstein pattern: powerful institutions only seem to discover their ethical backbone after the emails, donations, and internal favors become impossible to ignore. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: College of Dental Medicine administrator who twice aided Epstein’s girlfriend’s admission to exit post","meta_description":"Dr. James Fine, a longtime Columbia College of Dental Medicine administrator, is set to leave his post after newly scrutinized records showed he twice hel…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":709,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-vault-the-epstein-files-6841376/episodes/james-fine-karyna-shuliak-and-columbia-dental-s-epstein-problem-6-3-26/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-vault-the-epstein-files-6841376/james-fine-karyna-shuliak-and-columbia-dental-s-epstein-problem-6-3-26.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
