Overview
- The latest DOJ release links the YouTube handle “littlestjeff1” to Jeffrey Epstein’s email and includes a May 7, 2019 note about a $25.95 Fortnite V‑Bucks charge, though the sender and recipient are redacted.
- Social media users matched that handle to a Fortnite Tracker profile they say showed activity after Epstein’s August 2019 death and activity flagged in Israel, after which the profile was made private.
- Newsweek reports there is no credible evidence Epstein played Fortnite or maintained a gaming account, noting the claim rests on third‑party tracker data without official records or platform verification.
- High‑reach accounts amplified the narrative, with @Pirat_Nation sharing a screenshot of the V‑Bucks email and Marjorie Taylor Greene resharing a post promoting the claims.
- The DOJ published more than 3 million pages under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, including about 2,000 videos and 180,000 images that have prompted renewed online speculation.
