Can't Confirm or Deny: Claims About Angel Aguiluz's Education, Taxes, and Job Are Unverifiable

A claim is circulating about a private individual named Angel Aguiluz, asserting that they hold a college degree, pay taxes, and are employed at an electricity company. After reviewing available evidence, the verdict is simple: this claim is unverifiable. That is not the same as false — it just means no one outside Angel Aguiluz themselves can confirm or deny it.

Here is why. Educational records in the United States are protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, known as FERPA. According to the U.S. Department of Education, colleges cannot publicly confirm whether someone graduated without that person's consent. There is no public database to check.

Tax information is similarly off-limits. The IRS treats individual tax records as strictly confidential under federal law. Whether someone pays taxes — or how much — is not something any outside party can look up. The Federal Trade Commission's privacy guidelines reinforce that this kind of financial data is protected from public disclosure.

Employment records are no different. Unless a company publicly lists its staff, or the person has shared their job publicly, there is no legitimate way to confirm where someone works. None of those conditions appear to be met here.

To be clear: none of this means the claim is a lie. Angel Aguiluz may well have done all of these things. The problem is that the claim is being stated as established fact when it simply cannot be checked. Anyone repeating it — in either direction — is going beyond what the evidence supports. The honest answer is: we do not know.
