I know some of yall thought about this

Then they thinking "You working for all these people and they bombed. You cursed or somethin"

I have a feeling age could be a big fault in this plan

For most any job it would look suspicious to have so many defunct employers. But between companies being bought out (Block buster for instance still had US locations as of 2018 as Dish Network bought them,) financial and employment record keeping laws (even after dissolution,) and the fact that many document sstill exist in public domain through things like court records of bankruptcy proceedings, various internet sources, etc. it gets tougher. Also remember that an actual former employee may work at the new company, or not knowing basic things you’d be expected to in a higher position like who the CIO/CFO/etc were, where corporate was, etc. could out you. Linkdin makes finding former supervisors or verifying details much easier, and some 3rd party checks will ask for proof like a W2, business card, etc. of course some companies just aren’t that thorough. Some are extremely strict. It would all come down to luck.
