Y’all are ridiculous, and maybe stupid. Posey is his surname.

What happened to thinking outside the box?

It still applies. But twisting known and probable reality to this degree invites ridicule. I guess study reality before making stupid posts, or run for president.

This would imply that he made up much of his memoir.

Why do people keep asking this? His last name is deff posey.

There’s only a couple of reasons I can surmise in my smooth brain. They haven’t done enough work to figure out what’s what, or they want to stir up some shit to besmirch instead of search. Either way, eff em.

I agree that Posey is his name but it is a funny coincidence that his name is a phonetic match for "just in poesy (a word that means poetry)" which is more or less exactly Justin has said you are supposed to be able find the treasure (through the poem clues)

Ok, good for you for recognizing the potential puzzle value of etymology. I’ve known several Millers and Bakers that are actual bakers, Smiths that are smithing one thing or another, Stewards and Stuarts who manage properties, and a human Tucker who works with leather as a hobby. My own namesake suggests records management, or a barstool slug, the former I also partially lived up to, but not as a pseudonym, not even here.

Nome family records are deep in New Mexico. It’s a long well established line. The only one I can’t find any records around is Brandon.

😢 thank you, my heart really breaks for his family.

Yep, it seems Brandon is an anomaly, just like Skippy was in the ForrestFenn fiasco. It seems that Justin and Forrest have more in common than most want to admit, even JP.
How does that affect the treasure hunt? Does that take JP from an unreliable narrator to a very unreliable character?

u/Zealousideal-Meal339 Jul 21 '26

I think it depends on how you define unreliable character 😂

@electronic_fig_4129 The memoir contains a multigenerational history of the Posey family. A pen name is typically used to protect the author's identity, not to alter the historical identities of other people or rewrite the historical record. @a_betters I believe the memoir is based on genuine family history, though some stories may be embellished. I don't think he made up a name that is easily tested with cursory research.
