But if he’d gotten a legitimate SSN 2 years earlier, then what’s the motivation for obtaining an illegal one 2 years later?

The number was issued in March 1977. There is no record of him actually using it until 1986, except on a selective service application dated July 30, 1980 written on a form created in 1990, which was not processed until 2008.

You missed my point. If he already had a legitimate SSN from his young-teen job at Baskin-Robbins, then why would he EVER have needed an illegitimate one later on. The most plausible explanation I’ve heard—though I’m not aware of any direct positive evidence in support of it—is that if he’d applied to Oxy as a foreign student, he might have needed a new fake SSN to return to apparent U.S. citizenship status.

Perfect. I think I might just print this on a card, laminate it and carry it in my wallet!
