US EditionJeffrey Epstein Lookalike Speaks Out After Video Goes Viral
The viral video of a man resembling Epstein sparked millions of views before he denied being Epstein and clarified his Palm Beach identity.
- Friday's smartphone recording captured an unidentified man driving a convertible on I-95 in South Florida, igniting viral speculation about Epstein's lookalike.
- OnlyInFlorida reposted the footage the following Sunday, and a text overlay declaring 'Epstein out here in South Florida' propelled the clip to viral status.
- A man identifying himself as 'Palm Beach Pete', a former Division 1 tennis player and gold medallist, clarified 'Palm Beach Pete is Palm Beach, not West Palm Beach, Florida'.
- Podcast interviewers tracked him down after an exhaustive search, and he posted on X on Thursday denying he was Epstein.
- The misidentification resonated because the internet often revives notorious figures, and Jeffrey Epstein died in his New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial, making the false claim 'Epstein is alive' misleading.
