If a devious person desired the means to create new Aliases for a variety of shady business dealings (and even covert govt operations), I couldn’t think of a better way than to have a family contact, on the inside of the (International) Banking Industry, to establish Lines of Credit and Bank Accounts under different names. Thus if you are wondering how/why Ann Dunham and Barack Obama likely have SO MANY reported Aliases and SSNs ... well, there you are. I knew a woman when I was much younger (deceased now and NOT related to the Dunhams) who for DECADES maintained three different SSNs (and I saw all 3 SSN cards) under her maiden name and from both her first & second husbands married names, bilking the State and Federal government for various Welfare, Food Stamps and Assistance programs. As such, she was also able to maintain Checking Accounts in different names as well, as checks were issued by MAIL (sent to various friends & relatives) instead of by Electronic Funds transfer as they are often done today. It wasn’t until 1972 that Social Security Cards and numbers were issued Centrally; Ann Dunham dumped Obama Jr onto her parents in Hawaii in December 1971. However, even after 1972, there were a multitude of ways to create fake Aliases and get “on the grid” if you wanted to. Just ask an Illegal Alien or Mobster laundering money, even in 2010, and find out how relatively easy it is to obtain a fake ID and establish further credentials from that one fake photo ID. In fact, ALL but ONE of the 9/11 hijackers (Mohamed Atta) used FAKE IDs to gain further credentials with state and local agencies. Granted, it is slightly more difficult nowadays with computerized and centralized tracking, but back in the 60s through mid-90s, it was about as simple as applying for a Library card today. As the Andy Dufresne character describes (art imitating life) in Shawshank Redemption when describing how he hid the Warden's money, a paper trail can be designed to lead to nowhere ... and no one:
RED: I'm sure you're good, but all that paper leaves a trail. Anybody gets too curious -- FBI, IRS, whatever -- that trail's gonna lead to somebody.
ANDY: Sure it will. But not to me, and certainly not to the warden.
RED: Who then?
ANDY: Peter Stevens.
RED: Who?
ANDY: The silent, silent partner. He's the guilty one, your Honor. The man with the bank accounts. That's where the filtering process starts. They trace it back, all they're gonna find is him.
RED: Yeah, okay, but who the hell is he?
ANDY: A phantom. An apparition. Second cousin to Harvey the Rabbit. I conjured him out of thin air. He doesn't exist... except on paper.
RED: You can't just make a person up.
ANDY: Sure you can, if you know how the system works, and where the cracks are. It's amazing what you can accomplish by mail. Mr. Stevens has a birth certificate, social security card, driver's license. They ever track those accounts, they'll wind up chasing a figment of my imagination.
