A man known online as “Palm Beach Pete” has created social media accounts to deny claims that he is convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, after videos of him driving in Palm Beach, Florida, United States, went viral in March 2026.
The videos, which circulated widely on social media, prompted speculation due to the man’s strong physical resemblance to Epstein. In response, the individual began posting videos identifying himself as “Palm Beach Pete” and stating that he is not Epstein. He has since continued to upload content as public attention around the case has grown.
Despite his repeated denials, some online users remain skeptical. Social media discussions have referenced past reports that Epstein owned property in Palm Beach, and some users have pointed to similarities in facial features and appearance between the two men. There is no verified evidence supporting claims that Epstein is alive, and authorities have not indicated any connection between the viral individual and Epstein.
