**Relevent because it directly concerns a major alleged perpetrator in the Franklin Scandal
(Link to PART 2 Here)
I recently wrote a couple articles (here and here) on Voat about the network of protection (possibly CIA-sponsored) that enables somebody like Larry King to work at Thomas Moorehead’s car dealership in the DC suburbs. I just came across some other information that might be significant to sheading more light on the actual relationship between Lawrence E King and Thomas Moorehead.
There is a blogger and “motorcycle enthusiast” by the name of Amy Irene White, she has a couple of potentially important posts on her blog (here and here) that get into that possible relationship, albeit very briefly. I don’t know if other people have already posted about this on Voat, so apologies if someone already brought this up, but I do definitely think this relationship is worth exploring here on Voat.
Important to note, Thomas Moorehead owns a Harley-Davidson dealership in Fort Washington, Maryland, also in the DC suburbs. On October 10th, 2015, Moorehead’s Harley-Davidson dealership hosted a “Ride for Justice” motorcycle ride, which was held in conjunction with Louis Farrakhan’s “Justice or Else!” March, that the Nation of Islam (NOI) hosted on that same day in Washington, DC. Amy White wrote a couple posts critical of Moorehead’s involvement with this march.
Specifically, in this post here, Amy White claims that she has a source who is an employee of Moorehead’s. White isn’t specific about what dealership this employee works at, but because in the blog post she is focusing on the Harley-Davidson dealership, one could presume it is an employee at this specific dealership, though I don’t know for sure. Amy White claims that this source told her the following about Thomas Moorehead’s supposed relationship with King:
“According to this employee who called me, Larry [King] allegedly was Tom [Moorehead’s] banker in Omaha years ago.”
So if this source is correct, then that would mean that Thomas Moorehead must have had a bank account at the Franklin Credit Union in Omaha, which Larry King was the manager of. In addition, in this other post on the same blog, Amy White wrote an “Open Letter” to Moorehead, critical of his support for the motorcycle ride, and says the following:
“We are sorry you yourself have all that history in Omaha with your friend, the alleged child sex ring pimp, Lawrence E. King, Jr. We are sorry you were obtuse enough to think it was okay to hire that disgusting person after he got out of jail and that no one would mind.
We are sorry your first car dealership just HAPPENED to come about the same year as he got caught embezzling money from a credit union and then you suddenly are Mr. Richest Black Man in America.”
Nick Bryant’s book “The Franklin Scandal” pretty much backs the timing of this up, its only off by about a year. As Nick Bryant documents, in November 1988, the “The National Credit Union Association and FBI closed the Franklin Credit Union- regulators quickly determined that millions had been embezzled and the credit union had a second set of books.”
As I documented in my previous post about Moorehead, an article in Washington Life Magazine states that in 1987 Moorehead opened his first auto dealership, a Buick dealership, in Omaha Nebraska. So putting this information together, (and assuming Amy White’s source is correct), is it possible Moorehead financed the opening of his first car dealership in Omaha through his bank account at the Franklin Credit Union? All of this presumably would have had happened while Larry King was in charge of the bank and BEFORE it got raided by the FBI for embezzlement. Again, the bank got raided about a year AFTER Moorehead opened his dealership in Omaha.
The Washington Post itself reported that Larry King looted $38 million out of the Franklin Credit Union. Henry Vinson documents in his book that there were long-standing rumors that the Franklin Credit Union could have even been used as a front for money laundering operations connected with the Iran-Contra “weapons-for-arms” scandal that also broke in the 1980s.
Clearly huge amounts of money were disappearing down some very shady rabbit hole, at the very same time that Moorehead might have had his bank account at the Franklin Credit Union. I know this is speculation, but is it possible that Moorehead’s “seed money” for his first car dealership in Omaha could have very well been a chunk of this embezzled money stolen from the bank??
If Moorehead does really have this level of criminal association with the Franklin Credit Union and hence with King, this could go a LONG way in explaining why over 20 years later, Moorehead would feel compelled to hire someone like King as his employee. If Moorehead compromised himself to this extent in his association with King, then he would forever be in the pocket of King, and presumably in the pocket of the people lurking in the shadows who are protecting Larry King. Also, important to note that Moorehead has stated in interviews that he himself grew up in poverty, raised in a poor family in Monroe, Louisiana. If Moorehead doesn’t have the family connections or family wealth to back him up, it makes his ability to finance, open up, and own a car dealership, and rapidly expand to owning more auto dealerships, all the more questionable.
