One of the most popular videos that have gained virality recently was shot in Florida and displayed a man who closely resembled Jeffrey Epstein. Considering the years of conspiracy theories surrounding the death of Epstein, the clip immediately gave rise to speculation, as some social media users even said that he was not dead anymore. Nevertheless, the man in the video has been now tracked down as belonging to a man by the name of Palm Beach Pete and he has moved forward to settle the score. On Instagram, he directly responded to the rumours, saying that he was not Jeffrey Epstein, that he was Pete and that he appreciated viewers getting his back even though he rejected the viral claims.

Pete, whose given name is Peter, has disclosed more information about himself as more people paid attention to the video.
