sylvia works with stocksorit. Right now i have six cases, one with a fortune 500 company on fraudulent invoices. One of em is with a artist that a agreements were broken, and he thinks that they've forged his name on something. S it's just really interesting different cases. Wills, contracts, i've done athletic contracts that were forged. Really yes. And how do you see when something is forged? Where do you even start? Well, you start by a getting known signatures of the person that signature is supposed to be. Then you do the habitual patterns. There's people cannot help it. They have patterns. You write your name more than anything
Is it weird to have different handwritings? How do you forge ancient documents? What pen should you use to write checks? Who is the greediest person in American history? Forensic document examiner Sylvia Kessler met up with Alie in the back of a Nebraska office store to chat about penmanship, ransom notes, court cases, self-expression, and we *very* lightly touch on the fringe -ology that uses handwriting to analyze personalities and how Barnum knew best when it comes to carnival "magic."
