This might be the worst case of mistaken identity in internet history — a man was filmed driving in Florida and millions of people decided he was Epstein.On March 12 a man was filmed driving a silver convertible on I-95 in South Florida and the video exploded across the internet. Millions of people were convinced the driver looked exactly like Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender who officially died in a New York jail cell in 2019. The clip racked up over 15 million views on X alone and reignited conspiracy theories about whether Epstein is actually dead.A week later the man came forward. His name is Palm Beach Pete, a Soho fashion entrepreneur and former real estate executive who was simply driving to play tennis. He said he put his phone down for four hours and came back to find himself the most viral person in America.He now gets recognized at restaurants and strangers ask him for photos — all because of one random video on a highway.
