Fortnite Pushes Back Against Claims That Jeffrey Epstein Is Still Alive and Gaming
"Suspicious as the circumstances surrounding his death may have been, there's a broad consensus that Jeffrey Epstein did in fact die in 2019. Unless, that is, you're the type of person that believes everything you see on X, in which case the convicted child sex offender is alive and well in Israel, where he spends his free time pubstomping scrubs in Fortnite. This appears to be something people actually believe, stemming from the discovery of what might be Epstein's YouTube account in the latest batch of files."
""Hey Official Fortnite here - this was a ruse by a Fortnite player," the account said. "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." "We have no record of the subject's email addresses referenced in the public document existing in the Epic account system," the statement added. "Since the public document releases, people have created Fortnite accounts with similar-looking email addresses and user names.""
Jeffrey Epstein is widely accepted to have died in 2019, yet online users propagated a claim that he remains alive and playing Fortnite from Israel. The claim arose after a YouTube receipt tied to an email showed the username "littlestjeff1," and investigators matched that name to a Fortnite account reportedly active and based in Israel as late as 2025. Fortnite/Epic responded that the situation was a ruse: an account owner had changed a username, public trackers show only current names, and Epic has no record of the referenced emails. Conspiracy momentum was amplified by Epstein's past ties to Israeli officials.
