Trike, you are right! Alex's real name is in fact Bao Chieu Nguyen.
Here's a link to the thread where he, Alex, testified to such. (The link has been removed, as I do not wish to encourage a spill of this matter into other domains. . ..)
If the Alex that you, Trike, know is indeed the Alex in question, then the age thing has me wondering . . .. His true age is probably 24, but perhaps he has 18 on legal documents; 'cuz when I did some earlier research I saw that he was 24, not 22 as he claimed to some guy.
He justified his claim to 22 saying 24 was his true age but the supposed 22 he gave was his age on legal documents. So, I'm thinking that 22 was absolute lie; perhaps his age on legal documents is rather 18, while 24 is his real age.
yhlee I doubt that you carefully read that thread on fw you referred to. If you did read it, you would have seen that I in fact refuted the claim that the individual in question was indeed Alex. It was only after someone suggested a scenario that seemed feasible did I concede that under such supposition it was possible that the individual in question was indeed Alex.
You, I suppose, weren't a fw regular to see conversations I have in the past had with Alex. I need not link you to all threads on fw, where Alex has revealed a lot about himself; nor need I link you to those threads where I have continually questioned his credibility.
Edit: Oh! I forgot to state that I have seen a pic of the supposed Alex before! He had it posted on the FW gallery. However, the host's server got messed up . . . so pictures were lost. Alex never cared to repost his supposed picture.
Though, I would be quite doubtful about any pic he claims is himself . . ..
