forger

Thanh tells us he is not proud of his work as a forger - that he had known it was illegal and that he had done it simply to support his family.

He started his reign as chief justice as a coalition forger and then changed into a coalition destroyer.

That question is at the heart of author Patricia Highsmith’s most famous character, the aloof Tom Ripley, “a liar, a forger, and an impersonator” and the titular talented character from the 1955 novel “The Talented Mr. Ripley.”

A forger who reportedly “can do anything,” this Ripley cares only about money.

He was an accomplished artist and his skills as a forger were useful in producing false paperwork for other POWs.
