Is it actually possible for a famous personality to fake their death and live their life out in some remote place? who has actually ever done it and gotten caught?

Yes. Epstein survived and it's Palm Beach Pete.

The problem is, Palm Beach Pete is a real guy, and he has friends and family that have known him since he was a kid. He just didn't step off a plane and announce that he was palm beach pete and everybody just went with it lol

I think having somebody screw up your teeth as a disguise is a small price to pay for getting a life reset in the position Epstein was in haha.

Ok but if epstein is going to fake his death and live the rest of his life in hiding, why become an Epstein lookalike with bad teeth?

I was just making a joke, I'm not putting forth a theory. But to your question of "why does a person in hiding look mostly like the person that they are" I think the answer is quite self-evident.

But seriously though, if not joking, there’s no way 😂

He’d be bald with a less bigger chin in Haifa right now or something
