The bizarre saga of “Palm Beach Pete” took another dramatic turn this week after Florida election officials confiscated DNA test results that would have definitively answered the question that has consumed social media for months: Is he Jeffrey Epstein?
The revelation exploded across social media shortly after Pete posted a video revealing that representatives connected to Florida’s election apparatus had obtained his DNA results and confiscated them. Election officials also advised him to reconsider his campaign for mayor.
“I just wanted to put the rumors to rest,” Pete said in a video viewed thousands of times online. “Now the results are gone.”

Pete first went viral after a motorist filmed him driving a convertible on a Florida highway and shouted, “Epstein is alive!” The clip spread rapidly across Instagram, X, TikTok, and YouTube, generating millions of views and turning the retired real estate executive into an overnight celebrity.

Pete repeatedly denied being Epstein, telling followers, “I’m not Jeffrey Epstein. I’m Palm Beach Pete.” News outlets later identified him as a Florida resident whose resemblance to the deceased financier had fueled widespread speculation online.
The controversy intensified when social media accounts began circulating posts claiming Pete had voluntarily submitted a DNA sample to silence conspiracy theories once and for all. A Facebook post discussing the reported test attracted thousands of reactions and comments from users demanding public disclosure of the results.
Following Pete’s latest allegations, reactions online ranged from skepticism to outrage.
“If the results prove he’s not Epstein, release them,” one viral post declared.
At the very least, the timing was suspicious. Pete recently announced plans to seek the mayor’s office, leading some supporters to speculate that powerful interests feared the publicity surrounding the DNA test.
Florida election authorities have not publicly commented on Pete’s allegations, and no documentation has emerged confirming that any DNA results were confiscated.
