This has been the first line of defense for all these perpetrators, from the Kenyan who produced (or had made) a 9 layer .PDF "Birth Certificate", signed off on by the only victim of a plane ditching, a Subud Cult member with ties to Indonesia and perhaps Soetoro...to Pizzagate, to making billions in daycare fraud...
The more outlandish the crime sounds, the more farfetched the network, the more likely that that fact alone can be used to summarily dismiss any allegations and continue operations as if it is just another day.
This is why the "conspiracy theorists" of late have had such a grand track record at getting it right, because they have caught on to the fact that the most outrageous crimes are likely to be very real.
