#1 ...The 'dead baby' identity scam used to be a comparatively simple and easy way to create a new identity.

See, up until 9/11, birth certificates and death certificates were rarely, if ever, cross-indexed, and you needed no ID to get hold of either one. What you did was go to the local cemetery, and find the grave of some poor soul born about the same time as you who didn't make it much past their very early years (The giant cemetery immediately behind my office in Akron had a couple acres horrifyingly named 'Babyland'). You go request the BC for a couple bucks, and you're off. Until IIRC the late 80s, you didn't get a SSAN at birth, so it was more than likely you could get a completely legal SSN with that BC. Once you had the SSN you could get a driver's license, and that was the Holy Trinity needed to start a new identity.

That was a fun moment, thanks.
"The major media leave the dirty work of debunking to fact-checking sites, most notoriously Snopes.com. In an analysis that has been updated through 2016, Snopes leads with this accusation, “Barack Obama appropriated the Social Security number of a dead man born in 1890 and used it as his own.” In large red letters, Snopes rejects the accusation as “FALSE.”

This approach is classic Snopes. Its editors elaborate this bizarre story about a Frenchman named Jean Paul Ludwig who dies in Hawaii and whose SSN is appropriated by Obama’s grandmother. They then reject this particular story as false — as Daniel and others had already done — and ignore the larger truth. That truth, as Snopes admits in the fine print, is that Obama’s SSN, 042-68-4425, is “something of a curiosity.” "

Daniel believes that the number is more than a curiosity. She believes the number was stolen. When Obama applied, numbers were assigned based on where the applicant received mail. As Daniel notes, and Snopes grudgingly concedes, numbers starting with 042 were for the exclusive use of those applying from Connecticut. Obama’s half-sister Maya, by contrast, has an SSN that starts with 576, as do other Hawaiians her age."
