Surely they have the ability to modify memories; I mean just the stuff in the first movie (the subway scene; the market scene) would require some real fast talking on the part of the authorities if memories couldn't be modified...
Did that make sense....

They can't just erase 8 years of his life to make him famous, they would have to also erase everybody else's mind for the last eight years which would probably be a lot of work. And I doubt that they can greatly if at all alter memories. To change a memory would theoretically be much harder than to delete a memory. I mean if they want to erase someones memories all they would have to do is to kill a few brain cells. If they wanted to change those memories, i supppose they might be able to, to a small extent, but only if it's an insignificant small change.
No, the easist way to go about it is to totally erase his memory and let him start from scratch with rich and famous parents.
