There are too many things about the Widmore version that don't ring true - his leaving an obvious paper trail (buying a Boeing under his own name?!), the fact that the body Frank saw standing in for the pilot looked exactly like the pilot except for the lack of a wedding ring (ie. not a random corpse from a Thailand graveyard), the idea that you could get 300-odd bodies from the same graveyard all decayed to a similar extent .... But that could just be shoddy writing. For the sake of the show, though, I kind of hope Tom's story about Widmore is a ruse, because for it to be real is kind of hard to believe.
