Here's 10 reasons why this document is a fraud... i.cdn.turner.com 1) In 1961, the father's race would have been negro, not african... 2) Where's the State Seal? 3) A REAL birth certificate would also include the birth weight and the name of the delivering doctor, both are missing... it's a fake... 4) This Certificate of Live Birth has an interesting spelling for Kapi'Olani hospital. It drops the apostrophe. The apostrophe shows up everywhere else for that name... 5) THIS IS A FORGERY. It doesn't take a degree in Photoshop to see that much of the text was copy/pasted onto an image, some of the typewritten (or apparently so) text is WHITE around and inside, where the rest is not. That's obvious without magnifying the image. Also, the bottom statement 'a copy of an existing record is either false, or the statement that the B.C. was lost was a lie. This cannot be an abstract of a record that doesn't exist, or, the "record that exists" is not a B.C. but some collection of data in a file somewhere. too convenient... 6) Take a good look at the pattern as the page bends on the left. The horizontal bars of the pattern do not bend they are straight while the black lines bend. This is definitely not a picture of a real document. Some (or all ) of it is Photoshopped. I could have done a better job. Are they stupid and just trying to stir up more controversy? Why did they fake a bend? Who is behind this piece of forgery? Will any real investigator call them on this? 7) The upper left hand corner shows that it was photo shopped, this fake document was created on a white background and then placed over the turquoise patterned background... the counterfeiting work was poorly done... 8) Load the certificate into PDF in Adobe Illustrator (not Photoshop, not Acrobat -- Illustrator can reveal the various layers or objects that make up the created document) and Release Clipping Mask! They forgot to merge down all the layers... it's a composed document! It's a fake! 9) A REAL birth certificate would also include the birth weight and the name of the delivering doctor, both are missing... it's a fake... 10) The lower case letter a on lines 2, 6a, 7d, and 16 are different than the same lower case letter on lines 9, 11, and 14... two different typewriters were used... These are for starters only, I'm sure a counterfeit expert would have a field day with this fake... Looking at it another way, if this is really genuine, which it clearly is not, then why would he spend 2 million dollars hiding it? There are too many questions that need to be answered before this issue is ever put to rest... h/t gz
