‘Huh’: Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘Fortnite’ account was apparently active in Israel in 2025

Jeffrey Epstein died in suspicious circumstances in Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center on August 10, 2019. Whether by suicide or not, he escaped justice and died before he could expose the legions of rich and powerful men who enjoyed his disgusting web of sin.

So why was his Fortnite account active in Israel in 2025? As crazy as it sounds, internet detectives have been poring through the 3 million emails recently released and have come to some strange conclusions.

Epstein used the username “LittleStJeff1”, a reference to his pedophile island of Little St. James. The emails also reveal Epstein was something of a gamer, as underlined when his Xbox Live account was banned. The emails also show purchases of V-Bucks, Fortnite‘s in-game currency, from Epstein, and indeed, there is an account under the name “LittleStJeff1” in the game.

The publicly visible “Fortnite Tracker” showed the “LittleStJeff1” account reaching Silver 1 in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1, which ran from Dec. 1, 2024, until Feb 21, 2025, with its location listed as Israel.

Is he still out there cranking 90s?

Here’s the Fortnite tracker page for the account, but within the last few days, it’s been made private and can no longer be viewed, even on the Internet Archive. Before it was made private, it was noted that the account’s play history showed that there was no activity online during the time Epstein was in prison in 2019.

So what are we to make of all this? Is Jeffrey Epstein alive, hiding out in Israel, and killing time by playing Fortnite all day? I mean, now that his real island full of children has been taken from him, maybe he’s consoling himself with a virtual island full of children?

Honestly, it seems too absurd to be true. Perhaps this is simply all a big hoax and someone is pulling everyone’s leg. Maybe the reality is that once Epstein was inside, he gifted his account to someone, thus letting them have access to his skins and cosmetics. We may never know, but whatever the case, it seems that even after all this disclosure we still have more questions than answers.
