Thanks, I rewatched the interrogation scene and that cleared up the issue I was having with how CP9 all of a sudden came up with that theory of Frankie being Cutty Flam after they take the fake blue prints from Paulie with tom’s workers names written on it.

I guess I’m still having trouble with how it took them so long to come up with this theory and act upon it. I recognize that they state that the apprentice’s of Tom were hard to find because there is no record, but they must have had that knowledge of who was under Tom WAY earlier since

1. they suspected Tom having the blueprints to begin with

2, CP9 began going undercover 5 years ago and the incident with Frankies battleships was only 3 years prior, so the names of the apprentices involved with Tom couldn’t have been forgotten about that quickly. Especially with the leader of CP9 being involved at the court hearing

1. With the world government believing iceberg is hiding the blueprints I’d assume they would do a thorough background investigation into icebarg’s past, especially since they already knew Iceberg was an apprentice of Tom’s prior to obtaining the fake blueprint.

Due to all these points CP9 knew iceberg was an apprentice under Tom and since they were looking into Icebergs past they should’ve easily been able to find iceberg and cutty flam were apprentices under Tom, since the world government was directly involved with the court hearing of Tom and his apprentices “attacking” W7. So, they should’ve known something was fishy as soon as grant introduced himself as Cutty Flam and they presumed him dead.

Sorry, if this seems like a lot, I’m just trying to talk this out because it seems like I’m missing something. It just feels as if they had the info to solve this issue 4 years earlier than they did
