A doppelgänger video of deceased convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein is going viral. The Florida man, known as Palm Beach Pete, is addressing the film, where he is driving on I-95.
Conspiracy theories that Jeffrey, who allegedly committed suicide in August, 2019, is still alive and no longer behind bars abound. Early this year, photos seemed to show him in Israel sporting a long, white beard, although these are reportedly AI generated.
The Florida man called the situation “phenomenal”

Palm Beach Pete unknowingly was filmed by a fellow driver who thought he was the deceased pedophile. The Florida real estate professional, who was a D1 tennis player, bears a strong likeness to Jeffrey. He posted an Instagram video to set the record straight, saying, “I’m not Jeffrey Epstein. I’m Palm Beach Pete.”
On Thursday, March 19, Pete visited The Nicky Gordo Show for its Did We Find Jeffrey Epstein? episode. Host of the digital talk show and podcast, South Florida rapper Fat Nick, said, “Today, we can finally put the rumors to rest. We got ‘Palm Beach Pete’ in the building.”
Pete was unaware he was being filmed until his phone blew up. He says the attention is “pretty crazy. This whole thing is phenomenal. I’m driving down I-95, minding my own business, and some knucklehead films me, and the next thing I know, my phone is blowing up,” Pete explained. “Out of control.”
Nick commented, “You’re just cruising in your car, and some guy says, ‘Whoa, Epstein is alive.'”
“I’m minding my own business, driving down to play some tennis, and the next thing you know, hundreds of millions of views all over the world,” Pete said. “Phone calls all over the place. When it first dropped, I was in a restaurant with my girlfriend, and she said, ‘They’re talking about you,’ so I went over, and I said, ‘Are you talking about me?’ And they said, ‘Are you the guy that went viral all over the internet?’ and I said, ‘Yup, that’s me,’ and they wanted to take a photo with me … snot’s coming out of his nose because he just met ‘viral Jeffrey Epstein.”
