No, which is why GP says:

> You'd be better off just using your own name and keeping a low profile online. At least then you'd probably only be in violation of your employment contract.

Ie, the crime being discussed isn’t having multiple jobs, but taking one job under a fake identity.

I think the original start of this comment thread was about taking on an extra job and then wiggling your way out of it being discovered by saying it was deepfakes, then another poster saying they cannot imagine having several jobs and winging them. Whether that was assumed to be occurring under fake identities wasn't clear.

So, yeah, I'd say maintaining fake identities is hard no matter what and illegal.

But I think even before that folks are wondering how people can maintain several jobs at the same time, regardless of fake identity or not.

I interpreted the comment I was replying to as someone who felt that running multiple jobs was illegal. I have seen coworkers think that before just based on a a manager telling them it was illegal to work for multiple companies at the same time.

You misinterpreted what I said.

Faking your identity in the US for a job is breaking several laws. Explaining this behavior by saying "I was deep faked" probably won't satisfy law enforcement or the IRS.

Taking multiple jobs under your legal identity isn't in and of itself illegal. But you may be in violation of your employment contract. Meaning it's probably, depends on local laws, not illegal but gives cause to terminate you and possibly be sued.
