Who ARE you? Wife of 22 Years Pleads With Husband to Reveal His True Identity – But He Refuses

A father stole the name of another man and used it for 22 years, not even revealing the truth to his wife and child.
In a case that draws parallels to the plot of the hit TV hit series Mad Men, 'Mark Akintola' has refused to tell his wife who he really is, despite being unmasked in court.
He used the stolen name to apply for passports and obtain jobs in London, as well as to get married and bring up a daughter, who is now 17.
In U.S. series Mad Men, lead character Don Draper assumes his name after stealing it from a dead comrade in the Korean War, but keeps wife Betty in the dark.
The real Mr Akintola moved to the United States in 1979 and had no idea someone had been using his identity in the UK.
It was only in September this year when the thief applied for a passport renewal and officials double checked his credentials that the lie was uncovered.
The man - still insisting on using the name Akintola - was jailed for two years after admitting a string of fraud offences at Southwark Crown Court.

I don’t know who those people are. I had thought you were talking about Obama.

Mad Men is reportedly Obama’s favorite TV stuff, after himself...

No, that was a pic of the psycho soon-to-be ex-Congressman Bob Etheridge of NC when he assaulted a college student asking him on-camera questions, getting in his face and saying, “Who are you ? Who are YOOOOOOOOOOOOOu ?”

Why doesn’t someone simply ask to see his long-form birth cert...
Oh, nevermind!

Given the era, you have to think that’s certain one of just a few Occam’s Razor sort of answers. Perhaps the most likely one.

There was that nut case fake who called himself a Rockefeller. That made a good Lifetime movie with Sherri Stringfeld.

One of my favorite shows, mostly because of Stephanie Z. and the really great writing. RS got me into watching old movies as well. I even have the RS book “Steele Loved After All These Years”.
