Stories the Faux Rockefeller has told about his background
http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/pol...701855448.html
Authorities have found no trace of Rockefeller's presence in the US before 1991, when he rented an apartment in New York's Upper East Side.
"I always suspected he had British roots, both from his accent and other things," said Kristie Macrakis, a Boston academic who knew him. "He also told me he lived in South Africa from the age of five to 10. It was like a parlour game, guessing where he came from and who he was."
In one of his stories he said he had inherited a vast estate when his parents died in a car crash.

"The judge ordered both parents to undergo a psychiatric evaluation, the sources said.
When asked by Boss's lawyers for proof of his identify, Rockefeller could not provide it, according to the sources.
Those who know him have described him as speaking with an accent that sounds like Boston Brahmin, European, or Scottish. He speaks some Russian, likes sailing, physics, and art, and frequents libraries, police said.
Police said Rockefeller has claimed to be home-schooled.."

Rockefeller at various times claimed he went to Harvard and Yale, worked for NASA, was a mathematician and owned an aerospace company - none of which appears to be true. While he wore Brooks Brothers suits and ascots, spoke with a classic WASP accent and spread money around, he had no driver's license, no passport and no Social Security card.
He seemed eccentric to those who knew him. Rockefeller hinted to a local curator that he had a top-secret government job and later used an e-mail address for a company - Propulsion Physics - that doesn't seem to exist.
In 2004, he wrote an article for Consider This - a quirky paper in Cornish, N.H., where the couple bought a second home - about discovering a way to use space-age NASA compounds in nontoxic dry cleaning.
