The Short Version
A viral video did circulate in March 2026 with social media users claiming it showed Jeffrey Epstein alive in Florida under the alias "Palm Beach Pete," and this does contradict the official record of his August 2019 death by suicide. However, the man in the video publicly came forward, identified himself as "Palm Beach Pete," and explicitly denied being Epstein. No credible evidence links him to Epstein. The claim accurately describes the viral narrative but omits the debunking.
