"Epstein's YouTube handle, littlestjeff1, was revealed through the Epstein files being released by the Department of Justice, and people were quick to notice that the exact same name was being used on the Battle Royale game Fortnite. The account was even active after Epstein's death in 2019. That fact, plus an AI-generated image of Epstein supposedly in Israel, was enough to get conspiracy theorists arguing that the late billionaire was somehow still alive."
"Hey Official Fortnite here this was a ruse by a Fortnite player. A few days ago, an existing Fortnite account owner changed their username from something totally unrelated to littlestjeff1, following the revelation of littlestjeff1 as a name on YouTube. These Fortnite trackers only display your current name, not any prior changes to it, a post from an account for Fortnite reads."
Jeffrey Epstein is not a Fortnite player and remains dead despite online speculation linking him to the game. Epstein's YouTube handle, littlestjeff1, appeared in released Department of Justice files and matched a current Fortnite username, which led some users to claim he was alive. An AI-generated image allegedly showing Epstein in Israel further fueled conspiracy theories. Fortnite clarified that an existing player had changed their username to littlestjeff1 after the YouTube handle was revealed, and trackers only show current names, not prior usernames. Fortnite also reported no record of Epstein's email being used on their platform.
