"How can you honestly not remember this guy's name" - A commenter from the original post. This comment makes me think about whether this story is even true. I'd say it probably isn't based on that one statement alone. How can the guy not remember the lawyer's name? He has emails exchanged and the guy supposedly stole money from him. I like to forget negative stuff, but I can assure you I would remember this guy's name.

It could just be a way to side-step calls to 'out' the guy.

  Why lie? It doesn't obfuscate the story any more than just saying 'not his real name'.

    Well, it could be a combination. Maybe he doesn't recall the name off the top of his head, and he's not going to dig it out of old emails because he has no intention of 'outing' the guy.

      It could be but it isn't likely.

A few years ago I had an absolutely horrible experience with a vendor. Horrible to the point where we had to hire lawyers and PIs to find out what the hell was really happening, and get some compensation for the horror. I remember most of the details of the asset and criminal background checks that we got from the PI. I even remember who they had bounced checks too. I remember the amount of the settlement, and how long it took to collect. But I don't remember any of their names without pulling up the paperwork.
