In an online application, Keys indicated he was Bonds and that he made $350,000 per year.
Bonds actually makes $18 million per year. The bank was suspicious of the application.
I can imagine that if the bank didn't catch this what would have happened if Bonds started opening up his credit card statements (I'm sure he does that on his own) and starts yelling, "Hey, who bought $10,000 worth of shoes at Payless? .... Oh wait, that was me. OK, who rented a movie at Blockbuster and didn't return it and stuck me with the restocking charge!"
Update - No truth to the rumor that the SSN used was 052-16-3983. That was Babe Ruth's SSN.
Love the Payless line. By the way, Will Carroll lives in Indy and did write a book about "The Juice", but I don't believe he had Barry's SS Number. Also, he doesn't resemble Bonds that much, but by 2007, after his year of supplements to improve himself, who knows?

Bwahaha. The guy claiming to be Bonds is 22 years old.
