Regarding the facial recognition claim, I think back in his first ever post on here, a year or so ago, he kept touting another alleged photo identification and saying something about the FBI and facial recognition saying his cabinet/photo was supposedly a match for who he claimed it to be. Also kept claiming to have gotten the advice/backing for such a match by talking to someone he kept referring to as the "king kahuna" I believe, but wouldn't share this supposed expert's name, or valid credentials. Thought that was real interesting, and telling.

He appears to seek out and collect old cabinets and 19th century photos of men that may have at least a passing resemblance to famous historical ballplayers, and is trying to find someone to go along and validate his claims, without any real collaborative evidence or other provenance at all. I believe he even referred to his simply trying to provide for and feed his family with three kids. While I sincerely hope he and his family are well and doing alright, the almost immediate use of such a statement will raise some concern in many as to the reason, and veracity, of playing such a card somewhat early in a hand. While I am no expert and can't definitely say or prove an old photo or cabinet image is or is not one of the people he claims them to be, the chances of his claims that all of the multiple cabinet/photo images he has are of who he claims are likely multiples of times higher than one of us going out and buying next week's winning Mega Millions lottery ticket. People do have doppelgangers, and have also heard/read where facial recognition software is not infallible, and that accuracy of it can be negatively affected by the age of photos, along with many other factors. And with no additional collaborating proof or evidence to support any of the facial recognition claims, his claims will likely continue falling on mostly deaf ears.
