If it really was Kakuzu, that would be downright vile. Think about it—Retsuo himself could change his appearance, height, and voice, so why couldn't someone else do the same?
But it didn't seem like him.
If it were Kakuzu, he could squeeze money out of a crack in a stone. He would definitely demand a huge sum from Grandma Cat. That was just his nature. The fact that he treated money like dirt was enough to rule out Lord Kakuzu.
