Overview
- New DOJ files tie the YouTube handle “littlestjeff1” to Epstein’s known email and include a redacted May 7, 2019 note about a $25.95 V‑Bucks charge.
- Online sleuths matched that username to a third‑party Fortnite Tracker page that appeared to show post‑2019 stats and activity flagged in Israel, after which the profile was made private.
- The official Fortnite Status account said the listing stemmed from an unrelated player who recently adopted the name, noting trackers display current usernames rather than historical changes.
- Epic added it has no record of the emails referenced in public DOJ documents in its account system and that look‑alike accounts were created after the file releases; CEO Tim Sweeney echoed the explanation.
- Influential X accounts, including @Pirat_Nation and former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, amplified the theory, but outlets report no platform‑level evidence connecting Epstein to a Fortnite account.
