TheWriterTX said on the thread linked below. I am not a graphic tech person whatsoever but from what I’ve read it has indeed been proven a forgery. They are now looking for the forger. And they have a lot more researched stuff that they haven’t mentioned, there is not a bit of doubt about that.

Investigators now in hunt for forger

Unfortunately for Sherriff Arpaio, his Posse investigation wasn’t thorough enough.
A lot has been made of the layers in the PDF. If it was an OCR generated PDF, a scan WOULD have layers. An OCR-generated scan produces layers because it pulls text, allowing documents to be searchable. A lot of businesses and government agencies scan older documents into an OCR program to generate PDFs.
I’m sure that folks who have followed this closely will have far more detail to focus on. I was really hoping for something that would put to end the question about the CT SS#.
If he’s hanging his conclusion on the fact that the PDF has multiple layers, that won’t help. There is a very easy, and not nefarious, reason why.
I design layered graphics, and the "LFBC" resembles one of my designs -- not something that is fragged during scanning or OCR parsing.
