Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter has a very complicated name, and you know how great we are at names. But don’t worry- he went by another. Christopher Chichester. Then Christopher Crowe. And finally, Clark Rockefeller. This guy is basically like if the Tinder Swindler and Frank Abagnale (of Catch Me If You Can) had a baby.
