Sheridan reveals the bank account, delves into the parachute details. Was he toying with the investigators?

The FBI was unaware of the numbered bank account. Details regarding the dummy reserve strike me as simply not knowing what is public information. I do not believe he was toying with investigators, however, he has not explicitly denied being Cooper to the FBI which I consider odd. Even when he was asked on the History Channel documentary if he had been asked about being Cooper by the FBI he laughed it off and said, "I'm a nice guy."

If it was a secret numbered bank account how can it be confirmed? (SP statements are unreliable)

and legislation passed in Jan 1971 but it wasn't implemented until 1972.. not started by (at least) March 1972..

Sheridan's comments are absolutely reliable. I have yet to find a single example of him exaggerating about anything that he has done. When he says he did something, he did it. His memory is a steel trap and he remembers things in great detail

The Act was passed in 1970 and implemented January 1, 1971.

Bill in 1970..
Passed in 1971
(numbered accounts) Implemented beyond March 1972.

Now, he may have had a numbered account later, but they weren't offered as of March 1972.

I'm not sure where you're getting this.

The Banking Act of 1970 was passed in 1970. It was implemented January 1, 1971.

Again, if the news report is accurate, then banks actually started to offer numbered accounts shortly after March of 1972--four months after the hijacking. This would mean that Sheridan was incorrect when he stated that he opened the account in 1971. Obviously, this is entirely possible and not a big deal.

The other aspect that is noteworthy is that by the time Sheridan opened the numbered account--again, somewhere after March 1972 if the article is accurate--he had not been working for at least 19 months. Needless to say, this is odd.

Perhaps SP is not being entirely truthful.. or embellishing.

This is merely the language in the Act. All it is saying is that a bank needs to get approval from the banking authority before they offer numbered accounts, or for that matter, any type of account.

Well you'll need to point to a specific example of him embellishing before I'm convicting the guy of embellishing. Furthermore, you'll need to explain how he survived and supported a family with no income for 2 1/2 years--there is no disputing this fact. Finally, you'll need to explain how he could afford to travel all over the world for the next 25 years essentially working part time.

Has it occurred to you that perhaps SP was Cooper?

yes, what it essentially means is the "numbered account" use is subject to approval which explains the delay after passing. The specific conditions and qualifications are not expressed.

I have to compliment FLYJACK on the find of the March 1972 The Straits Times article. I had not seen this article before today.

To the extent that it's accurate, it helps solidify a timeline of events regarding Sheridan as far as I'm concerned. No longer did he have to get to Singapore within a month of the hijacking.

Many travel and support themselves through legal or illegal means, just because you don't know how he supported himself doesn't make him Cooper. Lots of those guys became drug dealers...

You should assume he is untruthful... be skeptical to be a critical thinker.

As for SP being Cooper, IMO, the case is very weak circumstantial and similar could be applied to tens of thousands of people..

Is it possible, sure. but to be honest, I have been focussed on researching Hahneman, a much much better suspect. (based on info I have)

I do not concur. I have little doubt Sheridan was Cooper based on the totality of the evidence and my dealings with the man. Furthermore, the FBI has arguably considered him one of, if not the, top suspect for decades.

I know that you are convinced and that is all that really matters. What I or anyone believes is (should be) irrelevant to you.

It's important for me to draw a distinction here.

I don't have a horse in this race. What I think matters little as far as the truth is concerned. Cooper was who Cooper was and there isn't a damn thing I can do to change that fact.

I desired to know the truth. Therefore, I decided to investigate the matter on my own. I really didn't know what I'd find. Nonetheless, after 10 years I believe I have found a lot. In my mind, it all points to Sheridan.

However, as I stated earlier, I don't have a horse in this race. I merely have an opinion.

$20 bills last an average of 7.7 years in circulation..

Did any money survive the jump with Cooper? we don't know

Could it have been laundered undetected? sure

All we know is none was ever found other than TBAR. Some were checking soon after the hijacking but as years went by I doubt anybody was checking $20 serial numbers. (other than a few sleuths)

As EU alludes,, if the money were taken overseas, no way it could have been detected.

What happens after the average 7.7 years in circulation? If it's destroyed and replaced, are the serial numbers recorded, re-used, or do they just keep adding new ones? Seems like that would add a lot of new digits.

It's my understanding they only look for counterfeit bills....
