How do I shut down a Facebook account that has been hacked that I have no power over?

How do I shut down a Facebook account that has been hacked that I have no power over?
Basically, over a year ago, my facebook account was hacked by someone. No idea who they were. I reported it to facebook but every time I was able to log in to that account it was hacked again.
Anyway, so I set up a new facebook account and blocked my old account so the guy wouldn't hack my new one.
About 16 months on, my old account is still there, and when I unblock it and look at it, it seems that someone regularly goes on it, however they don't write statuses or anything.
When it first happened I contacted facebook loads of times and it was never resolved.
Now I'm trying to get a job and I'd like to remove that fake account. The only problem is, that I'm afraid that if a facebook moderator reviews my old account they'll see how old it is (I set it up in 2008) and think that that is not a fake account!

Please someone give me advice..
Thanks.
Any other questions just ask,

SORRY I forgot to add, since December 2010 I have not even been able to get on the account at all! The facebook help centre is useless! There is no contact email! I cannot find where to fill out the contact form they mention.
ALSO, i've already reported the account a few months ago, and when I try to report it now it doesn't let me.

So use your initiative. Get all of your friends you have on your current Facebook account to report it. Then when Facebook realises that the account has been reported too much, they will automatically close it. To regain it, the hacker will need to show a picture of valid, 100% real ID, which he will not be able to provide. So, with that in mind, he will not be able to regain access to it.
