This is the Unluckiest Victim of Identity Theft Ever.

So this 30 year saga starts in 1988. Matthew Keirans just left his job, and used the identity of his ex co worker, William Woods, to get a new job. And cuz it was so easy, Keirans then used the Woods' identity to get married, have a child, and give the child Woods' last name.

So in 2019, when the real Woods had a terrible surprise when he went to a bank after being homeless for a while. Not only was he in debt, no one believed he was the real Woods, and so he, the real Woods, went to prison. Luckily a few years later, the real Woods found the faker working a six figure job in a hospital, and got him to confess.

You know a few months ago I made an ID with my eyeball on the blockchain. That could've stopped this. I think…
