Researcher claims oldest person in recorded history was a fraud

Jeanne Calment, who holds the record as the world’s oldest person, actually was not that old — and she wasn’t even Jeanne Calment, alleges a researcher who delved into the French woman’s long-accepted claim.
The woman who was reportedly 122 years and 164 days old when she died in 1997 was actually Jeanne Calment’s 99-year-old daughter, says Moscow mathematician Nicolai Zak, according to Agence France-Presse.
The alleged fraudulent claim was the result of the daughter’s attempt to avoid paying inheritance taxes, says Zak, who, with along with gerontologist Valeri Novosselov, studied biographies, interviews, photos and official archives.

Did she claim to be an Indian too? Did she say “I’m gonna get me a beer” as she announced a possible run for the presidency on Instagram? Frauds are gonna fraud & the motive is always money.

If you look at the oldest people ever list. She's ahead of the next guy by 3 years. So it is kinda suspicious.

Surely this could be resolved by whether or not her daughter dropped off the face of the earth after the alleged death?
Although 1937, could easily claim she died in the war

I partied with Jeanne Calment in 1995 & into 1996 and she had over a century's "experience" if you know what I mean.
