I think the J here, though, refers to him being Jacques Snicket.

I also think there is a conceptual mistake in the question ... At the time, being someone from VFD was not proof of being reliable unless you knew the person very well. This is because of Schism.

I think it's more that there are generic names which can be claimed when using each disguise, which is how Olaf's disguise names are so unexpectedly literary. It's a fair argument that Josephine might have assumed that "Captain Sham" was a fellow volunteer, but at the same time, I would argue that she would have fled in terror from any risk of getting involved in V.F.D. activities again.

True!!! I never gave much thought as to how Count Olaf came up with his names for his disguises.
