Suspects hauled in by the FBI seem, as often as not, to be "also known as" something -- especially if they're accused of drug dealing, fraud, or mailing pipe bombs to investment firms in an attempt to drive up stock prices.
Some of them form their aliases simply by dropping most of the letters in their names. In one case, there were a "G", a "Fat A", and two "D"s. (How did they tell them apart? Was one of them "DB" and the other "DS"? Did people start calling DB "Cooper"?)
Anything's possible. There was a male drug suspect called Mimi.
Then there were the ones who went by presumably descriptive nouns: Slim, Dawg, Rags, Shorty, and Pig. Also Whispers and Monk.
This one's easy to understand: Joey Williams, aka "Joe". This one, not so much: Daryl Gibbs, aka "Ralph".
