The only certainty is that he is:

A) spending a fortune trying to keep his birth circumstances hidden

There's no evidence he's spent any substantial amount of money on this. Someone just plucked a figure out of their fevered imagination, flung it out on the Internet, and it took on a life of its own.

The first time I recall seeing it it was something on the order of $50,000. Now people (Keyes for example) are claiming "millions."

It's a perfect example of how someone can just make something up out of thin air and there will be plenty of people who will swallow it without question.

All his lawyers have ever done is to file a handful of rather boilerplate motions in a handful of cases. I doubt what's been spent is even into five figures.

Uh huh. So we are now supposed to throw all common sense out the window because some chin wiping Obama troll on FR says its $50K, not millions as Keyes may have exaggerated?

The law firm that filed a motion to quash the subpoena for his records from Occidental College bills $600/hour and partners are made by racking up billable hours. The number of cases is approaching 50. Do the math. He has spent a substantial amount of someones money, probably not his own.
Tell me, Mr. Michael, if there is even a chance that this man is perpetrating a fraud on this country, would you you like to know? I would, and according to a recent AOL poll so would 48% of the respondants.
