I'm no expert, but in just eyeballing them I can see they don't match--

The real sigs he writes out his first name and middle initital in the memos he doesn't.

Also the slant is all wrong. in the real sig the letters are all heavily slated, not in the memos

the double ll-s in the real signature are all looped. in the memo they are not.

Even a layman can see this is not the same signature. Not even close.

Killian's signature is very hard to duplicate, for several reasons. He spells out his entire name, and has a quilling art to the pen strokes. He also used a lot of loops and curls in his signature that are also difficult to re-master.

The slant here is a key factor. Print off copies of the signatures to compare. All of the real signatures have the exact same slant. The CBS documents have three slightly different slants even from each other, and none of them match the known signatures by Jerry Killian. Bank tellers and supervisors are taught to turn signature cards and checks upside down and to compare the signatures if they suspect a forgery. They are always told to check the slant of the signature, which is the most obvious sign of a forgery. While individuals may have some variation in the way they form letters, there is rarely any variation in the slant when you look at the signatures upside down.

Any handwriting expert worth his salt would spot these as forgeries immediately. Also while you can NEVER verify the vealed of a photocopy of a signature you can frequently prove it is a forgery from a photocopy. Quite frankly as someone who worked as both a teller and a Bank Officer, I never would have cashed a check with any of signatures on the CBS documents even if they were an original, unless the writer personally guaranteed to me that they did in fact write the check. I made lots of phone calls to bank customers regarding discrepancies like this and those who did state they wrote the checks, all had a reason for the slant being off such as a broken arm, or some other difficulty with their arm, hand or fingers. Usually I was thanked for being so cautious with their bank account, but I did uncover a few real forgeries too!
