I'm a little perplexed as to how this very essential fact has not been throughly discussed. He does have a criminal history for forgery (Amex) and I believe some sort of theft by deception (or something to that effect).
It is not out of the realm of possibilities that he may have continued his 2 bit criminal activities but to gather large amounts of money - he just doesn't seem crafty enough to pull it off. As speculated by others there may be other unknown victims that have yet to be identified from which he could have stolen funds.
In addition - the idea that he could obtain fake passports and identification so easily... I'm no criminal mastermind but I'd think high quality documents that could get you in and out of countries and through customs would cost thousands of dollars and you would need very good connections. I just don't see LM having the ability to make those sort of "friends".
It just doesn't add up. Insanely wealthy individuals (pun intended) don't give money out to just anyone - especially not to the type of person LM has paraded himself out to be. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to identify obvious trash.
One point that stood out to me was that initially police said he did not have a criminal record which makes me believe that the criminal activities he was charged with and convicted were under his birth name rather than his legally changed name of Luka Rocco Magnotta. Pure speculation but I would hypothesize that even after his legal name change (in 2006??) he was able to utilize the benefits of his legal name and birth name; additionally I would speculate that his convictions are not documented if one did a records search of one of his "legal" names before May 28, 2012.
Just pure speculation and thinking out loud.
