My father in law was a handwriting investigator for our county fraud cases after he retired from the DA’s office. FBI trained. Over the years he gave me some tell tell signs to look for. Doesn’t matter if you’re in a hurry, sober, drunk, stoned, etc. some things never change. Chief among them is where you lift your pen and then put it back to paper. Based on that alone these aren’t the same sigs.
Thanks for the insight—agreed these are forgeries.
