PALMETTO, FL — A Manatee County man was arrested after going on a social media rant threatening to kill everyone on Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged client list, according to multiple reports.

Terrell Bailey-Corsey, 31, of Palmetto was arrested July 17 by FBI agents for transmitting threats in interstate commerce for threats he made on X in what seemed to be a reaction to the platform’s AI agent Grok disputing that Epstein’s client list exists, ABC News reported.

Epstein died in prison in 2019 awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges. His social circle included a number of wealthy individuals and celebrities.

Earlier this month, President Donald Trump said the case was closed and files related to Epstein wouldn’t be released, despite promising on the campaign trail last year that he would make sure they were, the BBC said.

The president reportedly learned in May that his name appeared in the files connected to the investigation, the BBC reported.

"Well @grok you're wrong. Everyone involved if I see them in real life I will KILL. On sight. With a machete so everyone can see the blood and gore of the moment. You can't fear death so you can't understand. I will KILL EVERYONE ON THE LIST ON SIGHT. AND THEY ABSOLUTELY DESERVE IT," Bailey-Corsey allegedly posted on July 15, Fox News reported.

He also threatened to kill three unnamed government officials in connection with the list, the Bradenton Herald reported.

Bailey-Corsey also uploaded a video making similar threats to Facebook.

He admitted to Palmetto police investigators to making the posts, reports said. He told detectives that he owns a knife, machete, and bow and arrow.
