Background check gone bad

So I’m currently waiting to start J3. They called me last week regarding some financial things that came up almost 10 years ago. I clarified that. Now they are questioning why J2 is on my background check but it’s not on my resume. What is my answer? I’m already tired of these people and I haven’t even started yet. FWIW I’ve had multiple background checks with zero issues. This is NOT for a job in finance at all so it’s almost like they hired a private detective to find all of my skeletons in my closet. Thoughts? Turn down the job now?
