  > Mr. Woods was held without bail on charges that he had illegally tried to gain access to bank accounts that Mr. Keirans had opened in Mr. Woods’s name. Then > Prosecutors in Los Angeles asked the judge to order Mr. Woods not to use his name. because as far as the court and the prosecutors had deigned to investigate Mr. Woods was in fact the identity thief.

  When Keirans first stole the identity in the 80s he bought a car with bad checks and got a job at a fast food place. Keirans had already had a run in with the law for car theft so working under a false name made some sense. From then on it seems like it just snowballed.

    thats crazy it seems a lot harder to forge identity than to work and pay off loans and expunge misdemeanor if no politics / employment stuff esp if you already got a fast food gig i wonder if it was a temp thing or planned this way why not switch to a new identity after that instead of charging crazy story so many questions to both parties
