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.

Who Is Palm Beach Pete?

Pete, whose given name is Peter, has disclosed more information about himself as more people paid attention to the video. He claims in his own words and in the media that he is an ex-Division 1 tennis player, a gold medalist, who was taken by surprise about his sudden internet popularity. He has not escaped the Real Housewives of New York City where one of the resurfaced clips helped in the confusion after being released online under false captions.

Pete also made a very interesting confession which provided another twist to the story in the middle of the viral buzz. He disclosed that he had attended some parties with Epstein but only noted that he had never been in direct contact with him. Pete explained that he only went to social events where he saw Epstein and did not talk to him by saying that he was kind of creepy. In the meantime, the name of Epstein has once again appeared in the news headlines, with the release of new documents concerning his case, sparking a new debate in the human community about his life and a controversial death in custody in 2019.
