FUGITIVE RIDDLE Man on deathbed tells cops he’s one of Japan’s most wanted men and was on run for 50 YEARS… but dies before proving it

A 70-YEAR-OLD man revealed to cops on his deathbed that he was one of Japan's most wanted fugitives before he died.

The man claimed to be Satoshi Kirishima, a radical extremist behind bombings in the capital who had been on the run for 49 years.

Later in the article, they did DNA tests with relatives, and they are compatible.

Japan is a reletivly small island nation, how did he stay on the run for 49 years?

I know, he hid behind 70’s girl glasses, but that was the picture that was on the most wanted posters.

Far better than making a death bed confession to a Capital Crime, being cured and off of your deathbed the next day.

Ugh…. Just as I have been listening to RFKs book on Wuhan.
The Japanese again.

—”claimed to be Satoshi ...
Ah, the inventor of BTC.”

That Satoshi only appears on or about 1 April most years.

Just like how every couple of years a dying mafioso claims he knows who killed Jimmy Hoffa

but that was the picture that was on the most wanted posters.

No wonder they couldn't find him if that was the best picture they had.

Huge amounts of unpopulated rural areas. You could lose yourself there quite easily.

“You are aware that Wuhan is in China not Japan, right?”

Wuhan used to be Japanese. At least for a while!

Not really.

No more then Berlin was American, french, British or Russian.

Invading a place does not make it yours. Running a place does not make it yours. Having the majority of the citizens be you, that makes it yours.

“Invading a place does not make it yours. Running a place does not make it yours. Having the majority of the citizens be you, that makes it yours.”

No, Ruzzia does not have any rightful claim to any part of any other country just because their citizens infest those countries.

I thought we started out discussing Japan, and a wanted man there.

FR gets weird sometimes...

I believe I said the majority of the citizens.

Not the case with any of the places Russia is currently claiming I believe.

But once the majority of the citizens in a place are something you are going to be playing hob trying to take it away from them. Just reality.

Better search Mar-a-Logo for more DNA evidence. /rimshot

The other GGG topics added since the previous digest ping, alpha sort, kind of a big one:

Looks like Taseo no Sake. “New” president of Columbia pictures (back in the 80s). He developed such shows as “The Nude House of Wacky People,” “Good, Hitting Police,” and “Who Can Figure Out Such Devices?” for American syndication. “We know what you like!” was his catch-phrase.
