The French Rockefeller
Update on the criminal career of Christopher Rocancourt. He recently confessed to having scammed people by posing as a member of the Rockefeller family. Why people would have believed that a Rockefeller would be speaking with a thick French accent, I still can't understand.

More from the Hoax Museum Archives:
Some people believe the Rockefellers are from France !

Their family name was previously "Roquefeuille" and they changed it to "Rockefeller" when they fled out to Germany.

See for ex :
