I don't know if this is a lead, but, when I read some of the articles about the Moon cult, specifically the "Biden offspring" comment. I went digging. Turns out that the Bidens were seemingly involved in business dealings with "Dr James Park, one of Korean Unification Church founder Reverand Sun Myung Moon’s sons-in-law". 2 courts cases resulted in the failed dealings, and Joe Biden was just being sworn in as VP at the time. Both court cases settled out of court under confidential terms: https://ftalphaville.ft.com/2009/05/01/55288/the-politics-of-paradigm/

So, in the footer of the article I was reading, it drops the Frank Biden nugget of entertainment: "Joe and James Biden knew the center well: A judge had sent their brother, Frank, there after a string of arrests, one of them for trying to flee a Blockbuster with DVDs shoved down his pants."

So, I jump to Frank Biden, just to see if his legal troubles went beyond movies down his pants. Turns out he was in trouble before but seems to be recovered and on a straight path now. He ends up running the "Mavericks High" Charter school program in FL: http://digitalissue.miaminewtimes.com/display_article.php?id=932950

Strange quote from the article: “I’m a salesman,” Biden says. “I’m nothing but a P.T. Barnum for these kids.” Probably nothing...

So, I look into Mavericks high school and notice that it's pretty terrible. As in extra police needed and the school has to pay for the extra police. Shootings, theft, underage drinking... oh, and the Principal gets caught in a car full of weed with her shirt unbuttoned while with an 18 year old student: http://extracredit.blog.palmbeachpost.com/2015/05/07/maverick-high-charter-school-principal-suspended-after-pot-arrest/

But Herman noted the bar for criminal charges to be filed is higher than that needed to file a civil lawsuit.

Doubt there's much here. Just thought I'd share the line of thinking it case it triggered any deeper dives.
