Overview
- BBC Verified concluded the widely shared photo purporting to show Jeffrey Epstein in Tel Aviv was created with AI, noting a Google Gemini logo in the image.
- The image spread across X, Facebook and Reddit last week alongside claims that Epstein was alive and walking in Israel.
- Lady Victoria Hervey told LBC she believes Epstein is alive and suggested he is in Israel, and her name appears 23 times in the released documents.
- Three recent batches of Department of Justice Epstein-related files have intensified public speculation over his death and alleged whereabouts.
- LBC reported the files appeared to identify a 4chan user who alleged a body swap as a security guard, even as official accounts state Epstein died in 2019 after what William Barr called a “perfect storm of screw-ups.”
