"The email suggests that "littlestjeff1" may have been connected to Epstein's YouTube account, prompting online sleuths to search for the username on other platforms. Users later uncovered a "littlestjeff1" account on Fortnite, along with a 2019 email that mentions purchasing VBucks in Fortnite - though the sender and recipient are redacted. Online player databases showed that the "littlestjeff1" account has been active on Fortnite, fueling conspiracy theories that Epstein is still alive."
"But Epic Games has since debunked these claims, saying that a Fortnite player changed their name "following the revelation of littlestjeff1 as a name on YouTube." The company adds that the Fortnite trackers, where people uncovered the alias, "only display your current name, not any prior changes to it," and that it has "no record" of Epstein's email addresses mentioned in the files."
""Someone's been having fun renaming their Fortnite account, but it's recent and not connected to the email addresses in the archive," Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney says on X."
Email receipts in the Epstein files included the alias "littlestjeff1," prompting online searches across platforms. Users located a matching Fortnite account and a 2019 redacted email referencing VBucks purchases. Public player databases showed activity tied to the "littlestjeff1" account, which contributed to conspiracy theories about Epstein. Epic Games debunked the connection by identifying the Fortnite account as a recent username change following the YouTube revelation.
