Now, Chrome says he’s caught in an infuriating back and forth email exchange with Facebook, trying to explain his dilemma, and offering other ways to prove he is who he says he is.
“They keep asking me for a driver’s license, or two forms of ID with my birth date and the name ‘Cheetah Chrome’ on it,” he says. “I don’t have that — I’m never going to have that.”
Chrome says his nickname goes back to high school cross-country team.
“I would take off with the pack, stop and have a cigarette, wait for them to come back, and I’d run back in with them,” says Chrome. “They jokingly were calling me ‘Cheetah,’ and I liked it, so we kept it.”
