Did the oldest person ever steal her mom's identity? - Steve - 01-02-2019 04:32 AM
I came across this article that I thought was interesting:
https://nationalpost.com/news/world/historys-oldest-woman-a-fraud-theory-says-122-year-old-jeanne-calment-was-actually-a-99-year-old-imposter
Apparently some researchers suspect that 122 year old Jeanne Calment was actually her daughter, Yvonne, impersonating her mother in a fraud scheme.
If anybody is further interested in the story the lead researcher was interviewed a month ago and has more information on why he suspects she was a fraud:
