Richard Verma was born in 1968 - and that couch picture was taken in 1981. Verma would have been 13 years old.

Can't be him.
If he got a new name, he probably got a different birthday to go along with it. His eyes match, and those don’t change much with age.
And as I noted above, the Paki would have had to learn Indian accented English, and very like the Indian language spoken in the area of India he pretended to come from. There are several languages spoken in India. As an Ambassador he would have had contact with Indians and others who would have recognized a Paki accent when they heard it.
I am not married to this theory, and I posted it to start some discussion. I have not had much push-back. But here's the thing: Q says to check the name (Sohale Siddiqi) - the last name seems to be right.
Other sites say Sohale is a recovering drug addict in Washington State, where my find is in government, different first name, no facial hair, and seemed to be in school with Soetoro.
I am not up for a fight, or very tolerant of flaming, just trying to help.
The catch is, Q wants us (us!!!) to confirm if the person in question did or did not get FBI clearance when working in the Soetoro Regime. How does one do THAT?
Maybe they are fudging his birth year, that has to be one of the oldest looking 50 year man Ive ever seen.
Maybe it isn’t Verma, but maybe it is. What if he was born in say, 1958?
