I’m amazed at how little focus has been given to Toots and her possible gaming of the systems of birth registry, social services manipulation, and possible outright ID fraud. There is a reason why she and Stanley senior left good digs and jobs in Washington State to take a teller’s position in Hawaii. And has anyone really dug into her (Toot’s) seeming meteoric rise in banking in Hawaii? How about how Stanley Ann got hooked up with the Ford Foundation micro-loans scams? One way scammers remain undetected is by keeping a low profile, like not buying a house but renting their whole life. Did Toots know how to game the systems of our capitalist society, raking off cream from many sources and funding Barry’s expensive educational forays? Did she teach Barry any of these fraudulent methods via experience? ... So many questions are going unasked!
Meant to ping you ...
I wonder why Toots didn’t have any friends. I assume she didn’t have any friends, neighbors, co-workers, or even aquaintances since no one in Hawaii or Washington is talking about the good old days. Was she that low under the radar or what?
It’s also strange how many addresses they had all within such a short distance. People normally move due to major events such as a new job, a marriage, away at college or maybe a lifetime dream of always wanting to live at a particular place. Stanley seemed to move around a lot so I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that perhaps Hawaii was his dream so they pulled up stakes when Ann graduated to live in romantic Hawaii. However, that doesn’t explain all their moving up the street, across town, and back again.
It all sounds so interesting. Perhaps we’ll know the truth someday.
