There are several documentaries on YouTube exploring how easy it is to fake death certificates in, say, Delhi. Search for ‘quacks’

Before YouTube/cruptocurrency got big, Delhi was known for its counterfeit industry for winning "first to invent" patent fights.

There are companies that have stocks of decades or century-old paper that they use to forge aged government documents. I can't find a link to a story at the moment :-(

Can we crowdfund some patent troll busting? Or take down Amazon's stupid one-click patent. Preferably using proof written on an 1800s parchment with quill ink.

Amazon's one click patent expired a couple of years ago.

I didn't find much besides talk of the CEO, and your comment (which is the 4th result).
