After 9/11, especially, all sorts of federal banking security measures were put in place.
You need a valid picture ID(name address) and a Social Security number to open any account.
All of that should be on file in BOA records and there shouldn't be any question of who he is.
It should only take an investigation by law enforcement, or a subpena from a lawyer (or yourself if acting as a Pro se attorney) to obtain this information.
There shouldn't be any road blocks. Federal banking and telecommunications crime were committed.
It doesn't matter if it's a small time scammer or an AlQuaida arms dealer.
If BOA opened an account knowing the name spelling was incorrect as well as other info, then they may have been an accessory to a crime.
