Incriminating photos of Jeffrey Epstein go viral”This is a full picture of Epstein. He’s in Israel,” one person shared the photo.
The photo was also shared in a conspiracy thread on Reddit. “Okay. I don’t usually fold with photos like this but bro, either I’ve been drinking too much and everything looks like Pedo Epstein or he’s actually… the guy standing next to him with earpieces. Am I going crazy?” Posted by the person who shared the post.

When asked about the photo, Grok fact-checked one user, saying, “No, it’s not Jeffrey Epstein. He died in 2019, and this guy’s long hair and beard don’t match Epstein’s familiar look. It looks like a case of mistaken identity — maybe a Tel Aviv lookalike,” though the AI bot based on the flag is not based on the flag. AI-generated.
