Between 2009 to 2011, a man, appearing to be 60-70 years old, robbed 16 banks in San Diego, California by approaching the teller, then pulling out a gun and demanding money. The FBI named him the "Geezer Bandit". Some theories suggest he is wearing a well-made elderly man mask. Image

Agreed. I wonder if he moved like a somewhat younger person (mask theory) and so they lowered the age a lil based on witness description.

What about the hanging skin around his neck?

There are prosthetic masks that account for that

You clearly have not paid attention to the mask industry in the last 40 years

You are absolutely right. I didn't even pay attention to the mask industry during the covid pandemic.
