Florida Man Arrested for Making Epstein-Related Death Threats on X
A Florida man, Terrell Bailey-Corsey, was arrested last week for allegedly making violent threats on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, aimed at individuals he believed were associated with the so-called “Jeffrey Epstein client list.”
Charging documents unsealed Monday allege that Bailey-Corsey, reacting to a post by X’s AI chatbot Grok—which disputed the existence of such a list—posted multiple threats, including:
“Well @grok you’re wrong. Everyone involved if I see them in real life I will KILL. On sight. I will KILL EVERYONE ON THE LIST. ON SIGHT. AND THEY ABSOLUTELY DESERVE IT.”
The FBI and Department of Justice have both publicly stated that no Epstein “client list” exists.
Roughly an hour after his initial post, Bailey-Corsey allegedly escalated his threats, naming three government officials and stating he would “KILL YOU ON SIGHT,” followed by:
“IT’S TIME TO START KILLING POLITICIANS ON SIGHT.”
Prosecutors said he continued to post threatening messages over several days, including a video targeting another government official.
Bailey-Corsey has not yet entered a plea or made his initial court appearance, according to court records. A public defender listed in the case did not respond to requests for comment.
Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender and financier, died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. Despite years of speculation, authorities say no verified “client list” has ever been uncovered.
