Rumors have begun swirling that Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender who allegedly committed suicide in August of 2019, may still be alive after a viral video surfaced showing a man who closely resembles him driving a convertible in Florida.
The rumors were quickly put to rest, as the man broke his silence to assure the internet, that he is not, in fact, Jeffrey Epstein.

“Is Jeffrey Epstein alive?” a host on the Nicky Gordo Show asked. “Well, we did what the Internet couldn’t do. We searched, we asked around, we looked all over Florida, and we tracked down the man that everyone keeps seeing, all right? And it turns out he’s not Epstein, okay? He’s a former D1 tennis player, a gold medalist, a Soho fashion entrepreneur, a former real estate executive. And today, we can finally put the rumors to rest. We’ve got Palm Beach Pete in the building.”
“This whole thing is a phenomenal,” Palm Beach Pete said. “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. It’s just blowing up. Blowing up.”

“Good morning everybody, this is Palm Beach Pete from Palm Beach, Florida. I want to thank everybody for the positive comments I got from saying I’m not Jeffrey Epstein,” he said Friday. “I’m just Palm Beach Pete, going to play some tennis today, going into town, have lunch.”
“I really appreciate all the support and just want to reiterate I’m Peter from Palm Beach, have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein,” he added. “He’s a very bad person, what he did obviously and he is dead and I’m alive.”
