FILED AS P. Simel, 71 HANDLE @not_jeffepstein LOCATION Palm Beach, FL
At 14:30 hours on March 12th, 2026, a stranger on I-95 began filming a man driving a white convertible. The stranger believed, audibly and to camera, that the man was the late Jeffrey Epstein. The stranger was mistaken. The man is Peter Simel. He is 71. He plays tennis. He is, the Bureau is required to add, also alive.
The Bureau of Memetic Identification is pleased to confirm the existence of a Palm Beach resident whose principal documented activities are: playing tennis, driving a convertible, and not being Jeffrey Epstein. He is doing all three concurrently.
The subject is Peter Simel. He is 71. He lives in Palm Beach, Florida. He used to play Division I tennis. He used to work as a real estate executive in Manhattan. The late Mr. Epstein also worked in Manhattan real estate, around the same period. The Bureau has elected not to dwell on this.
On March 12th, a TikTok user filmed the subject driving on I-95 and posted the footage with a caption claiming, incorrectly, that he was someone else. A week later, the subject opened the handle @not_jeffepstein. He posted one video. He said, on camera: "I'm not Jeffrey Epstein. I'm Palm Beach Pete." The day after, on CBS 12, he refined the position: "He's a very bad person, and he is dead, and I'm alive." All three claims are correct.
$PETE is the first token to take Pete at his word. The Bureau holds no position in $PETE. The developer holds no position in $PETE. The developer's mother, who serves as legal counsel, has not been informed of $PETE and will ideally remain that way through deployment.
“He's a very bad person, and he is dead, and I'm alive.”
Personnel and asset specifications, reproduced from the case file. Anything in black has been redacted at the request of the subject, the subject's mother, or both.
A chronology of confirmed public appearances. The subject has done nothing wrong. The log is provided because the subject's mother enjoys reading it, and the Bureau is in a position to oblige.
Documented sighting locations within the Palm Beach operational corridor. None require action. The Bureau is, however, in possession of the subject's tennis schedule.
The Bureau has compared the available record of two distinct individuals. We have reached no conclusion. We do not intend to.
The Bureau observes overlapping characteristics. It observes, equally, distinguishing ones. It notes, in particular, that one party in this comparison has a tennis lesson booked for Tuesday at 10am, and the other party does not. No conclusion will be drawn from this. The Bureau will, however, note who plays on which days.
All milestones remain pending until further notice. Dates will be supplied at launch, or will not be, depending on prevailing tennis schedules.
The following protocol applies at launch. The Bureau accepts no liability, no responsibility, and no incoming calls. The subject, by his own statement, accepts even fewer.
Install Phantom. The wallet. Not the figure of speech. Confirm the spelling.
Acquire SOL. The Bureau recommends a centralized exchange. The subject, when asked, recommended Bank of America. The Bureau has noted this.
Paste the contract address into Jupiter at launch. Do not, under any circumstances, paste it into the subject's TikTok comments. He has been through enough.
Set slippage to 4.2 percent. Put the top down. Roll the windows. Squint into the late afternoon Florida light.
Press swap. Say "peace out" once, to yourself or aloud. Hold until the subject makes his next video, or until he does not.
Hold $PETE to share the SOL creator-fee pool. Creator fees are sent to the distributor wallet, split by hourly holder snapshot, and paid directly to eligible wallets.
Connect Phantom to read your $PETE balance. Rewards are automatic, so no stake transaction or claim button is required.
Keep $PETE in your wallet. The hourly worker reads holder balances and calculates the direct SOL payout from the distributor wallet.
$PETE balance: -- / lockup: none
Eligible payouts are sent directly to holder wallets. Anything below the dust threshold stays in the distributor for the next run.
The fee vault is waiting for the token mint and private distributor wallet to be configured.
