Dagoberto needs to calm down with the aliases. In case you somehow missed it, these are his MANY known aliases:

  • Jacob Guzman
  • Felix Rafael Ortiz Correa
  • Andress Sader
  • Dagoberto Soto
  • Dagoberto L. Soto
  • Dagoberto R. Soto
  • Dagoberto Soto-Ramirez
  • Felix Correa
  • Felix Rafael Correa Ortiz
  • Freddy Santa
  • Klever Jr Loja
  • Loaja Klever
  • Louis A. Lopez
  • Luis A. Lopez
  • Luis Melcar
  • Luis Melgar
  • Walter Monets
  • "Pito"
  • "Pitos"

What are you supposed to do at a concert or music festival—turn around every time anyone yells any name? I’ve got one name, one passport, and one driver’s license, and honestly, even that feels like too much to manage.

I’d lose my mind if I had to keep track of 50 different IDs and be ready to answer to “Luis,” “Pito,” “Felix,” “Freddy,” “Dagoberto,” “Dag,” or “Klever”—with a F--kin' K!!!!!. Like… what are we even doing here, bro? Simplify your life.

And that’s just the list law enforcement knows about. At this rate, the man could’ve tossed in 33 variations of Carlos, Jaden, Walter, and Stevie. Full-on identity roulette. Unmanageable chaos.

Additional takeaways:

  • I'm not going to lie, it kind of freaks me out that the old white alleged murderer who needs immediate mental health care hasn't been photographed since 1979. It might be time to get on that, let's snap some pictures of Larry please.
  • Everyone on this list has a disaster for a birth name so keep that in mind when you're getting ready to assign a name to your next baby. Let's put a hard cap of 3 consonants per first name and give them a fighting chance.

If I was going to prison, I'd be worrying about everything. I'd want to know what I was in for and there are not a ton of resources available, I certainly would not have anyone I could ask for their experience.
