Lets address the 3 lies noted in the post The Lies 1 in the order they were listed:
LIE ONE
Lie one would be claim Larry was in a mental hospital in Texas in November 1999. The first thing which should have made it obvious the claim false when it was first published online is a no brainer. The person first publishing that lie posted online under the screen name MzMolly, who was very active on DemocraticUnderground message boards as well as the other far left online sites which would soon play active roles in attacking Larry.
MzMolly never did publish what hospital, what city in Texas, or anything else in support of her claim she had found Larry Sinclair was in a mental hospital in Texas at the same time he claimed to have met & been with Barack Obama. First any medical records as to any individuals being a patient in a mental hospital or any hospital for that matter is private protected information which is not available online or by picking up the phone and calling asking for it. Never mind the fact that Larry clearly was not in a mental hospital in November 1999 as demonstrated by his credit card records, his what was then called Guest Privileges Rewards with the Quality Inn/Choice Hotels brands, his Hertz rental car contract and his airline ticket.
But it didn’t matter the claim was a lie, it was still repeated and republished for months including by a group of so called respected highly professional US Government recognized Polygraph Examiners who pushed every one of the false claims and lies in a private message board operated by the group.
LIE TWO
Lie two which would become in many ways the most repeated false claim and lie of all for the entire 17 plus years including to this very day. Immediately after the January 18, 2008 posting of the less than 2 minute video on YouTube by Larry, people using screen names were publishing claims about Larry which all alleged to be based on official records listing crimes which Larry had never even been accused of much less ever arrested, charge or conviction of. As noted on the About page, when Larry decided to go public he had no idea what was about to be unleashed upon him, much less how to begin to respond to it. So he did what he had always done his whole life: he was being attacked, so he fought back. He just did not realize at the time it would take a lot more than him or his determination to fight what rapidly became clear was an orchestrated managed well thought out planned response to his going public. But it would only become clear to Larry months later that was the case.
Larry was upfront about his criminal past from the start. Which covers a period from January 1980 thru November 1986. In that period Larry wrote checks to a Denver area fashion designer for clothing which were returned for non-sufficient funds and resulted in Theft charges two to be exact being filed in Denver Colorado. Before Larry was arrested on the theft charges he had borrowed a friends car and drove to Arizona. Larry had been in a youth program in Arizona called VisionQuest until 1979 and was transferred from the Elfrida AZ lodge to the Colorado Springs program after it was discovered Larry had been involved in an intimate relationship with employee Michael De La Rosa for some time. When Larry went to Arizona in 1980 from Denver he visited with VisionQuest including his former counselors Steve & Martha Bloom. The Blooms offered Larry to stay at their home for the few days he was planning to stay in Tucson. During that time Larry had taken some checks belonging to Steve & Martha which he forged Steve’s name to. After leaving Tucson Larry traveled back to Douglas, AZ where he had taken a room at the old Gadsden Hotel for a few days because he had found out Michael De La Rosa was in the Cochise County Jail and because of Larry still having a strong emotional attachment to Michael, he thought he might be able to help. Larry being the resourceful person he was managed to get a visit with Michael under the premise Larry was working with an attorney representing him. The visit was short and Larry left with the task of trying to find a way to help the guy he was still madly in love with to get out of jail. The following day Larry drove to Elfrida which is approximately 45min to an hour out of Douglas to visit the Lodge. While at the Lodge the Cochise Sheriffs dept had arrived and at that time Larry was placed under arrest for forgery of Steve’s checks.
Larry despite informing the Court he did not need or want counsel appointed was appointed advisory counsel by the name of Ruben Teran. It was Larry’s position as it had been his entire life, that he simply inform the Court he is entering a plea of guilty to the charge of forgery because the truth was, Larry did in fact forge Steve Blooms checks. Larry entered a plea of guilty without seeking any so called plea deal, reduced charges or anything else. The Judge sentenced Larry to 4 years in the Arizona Department of Corrections. Larry’s Arizona Department of Corrections Inmate Identification Number 041868, Cochise County Superior Court Case Number 0010254 Sentence begin Date June 21, 1980, Arizona Department of Corrections Absolute Discharge of Sentence Date September 21, 1984
After Larry was transferred to Arizona Dept of Corrections he was advised that Denver Colorado had filed a “detainer” with the State of Arizona on theft charges pending in Denver County Colorado. Incarcerated individuals with detainers from other jurisdictions have two options as to how they can address them. First one simply doing nothing and serving their sentence and when the become eligible for Parole or have maxed out their sentence they are held for the jurisdiction having the detainer to pick them up within a determined time set by law. The other is file a notice of desire to be afforded legally mandated speedy trial to resolve the pending case. Larry chose to execute his right to a speedy trial to resolve the charges even though he had no intention of taking the case to trial. Once the formal notice was filed the State of Colorado and the Denver County District Court set court dates where Denver officials made arrangements with Arizona officials for Larry to be picked up and transported to Denver to appear in court. It was Larry’s intent to immediately advise the court at his first appearance of his desire to enter pleas of guilty, but because the Judge had notice something that made him suspect Larry was under medication at the time decided to first ascertain if that was the case. Larry was in fact under medication which had for some reason upon arriving at the Denver County jail been increased in dosage resulting in it affecting Larry more so than normal. After verifying Larry was in fact under the influence of medication the Judge had decided he would not allow a plea to be entered, had directed the Denver County Jail to withhold any medications prior to Larry’s next court date, and after a request from the District Attorney, decided to set a preliminary hearing in order for the court to be able to be assured there was probable cause to justify the two charges of theft.
The Preliminary Hearing was scheduled within a few days at which time Larry did testify to exactly what led up to the theft charges being filed. Larry described in detail how he had met the designer Max, had become aware of Max’ clothing store and ended up visiting the location and purchasing clothing. Larry honestly without even considering trying to make excuses or cast blame on his bank or anyone else, that he paid for his purchases on two separate visits with personal checks that would almost certainly be returned for non-sufficient funds by his bank. Both Max and Larry testified that Larry had left Denver before Max became aware of the checks being returned and before Larry could be notified of it. At that time the Judge agreed to allow Larry to enter his plea of guilty and sentence Larry to 4 years probation, to run concurrent with his Arizona sentence (noting at the request of Probation Dept reps inquiry how Larry’s probation would be supervised) and that the probation would be unsupervised. Denver County District Court Case Number 1981CR365, Date Case Filed August 12, 1980, Date of Offense between March 28 and April 11, 1980. Date of Plea of Guilty 02/24/1981 Sentence Imposed Date March 3, 1981.
Larry completed his Arizona sentence and his Denver probation sentence. In 1985 while traveling in Florida Larry while visiting with a friend who was the reason for Larry being hired by Corporate Tony Romas in California (eventually becoming the Chef/Kitchen manager for the Santa Monica location) Stuart Kochel who had left California and returned to Florida. While staying at Stuarts home in Plantation FL Larry had sent Western Union money transfers by phone from Stuarts home using Stuarts credit card in the amounts of $600.00 and $200.00 for Larry to pick up. Larry was arrested at The Sahara room 134, located at 18335 Collins Ave Miami Beach Florida at 4:57AM April 6, 1985 where Larry as clearly indicated on the original arrest report immediately admitted to his actions without excuse, attempt to blame or deny. Larry plead guilty and was sentenced to 1 year and 1 day (in Florida in order for a sentence to be served in the Florida Department of Corrections the minimum sentence required is 1 year and 1 day) which Larry served and was released October 1, 1985. Broward County Circuit Court Case Number Florida Department of Corrections Inmate Identification Number 098146
June 18, 1986 Larry was arrested in Miami Beach Florida and on June 19, 1986 the State Attorney filed an initial charging statement accusing Larry of Ten (10) counts of Forgery, Ten (10) Counts of Grand Theft, and One (1) Count of Stolen Property. Now at first sight of that you will most likely go “WTF,” which is exactly what Larry did when he was first made aware of it in 1986. The charging State Attorney thought by alleging so many counts & criminal acts it was going to somehow result in them being rewarded or that it was going to cause Larry to do something he had never done in his life, which is admit or plead guilty to something he DID NOT do. The case F86017266 In the 11th Circuit Court of the State of Florida, Miami Dade County Filed June 19, 1986 Closed August 13, 1986 was brought after Larry had indeed gone into J C Penny department store in Miami beach Florida on two occasions where he presented checks in the amount of $1350.00 and $980.00 to JC Penny as payments to be applied to Larry’s JC Penny credit account number 61147980411. The checks did not belong to Larry and while Larry did forge one the two checks, he admitted to having signed both (out of concern for the individual who had provided the other check being 8 months pregnant). There had been individuals who had returned to JC Penny without Larry’s knowledge or presence who had attempted to make payments towards Larry’s Penny charge account using forged checks. At the time of Larry’s arrest on June 18, 1986 for the one and only time in his life he was under the influence of an extended period of snorting cocaine with Miami distributors Larry had become friends with even working with one over night operating a street sweeper that was under contract services as cover for overnight operations. After Larry’s arrest and being advised of the charges filed against him, for the first time in his life he sought the services of legal counsel. Not to try and get out of his actions but because it was necessary to obtain discovery from the State Attorney as to what they were basing their charging of Larry with some 21 felony criminal counts which Larry knew to be BS. After obtaining discovery and realizing that the State Attorney was attempting to charge Larry with multiple counts based on alleged, attempts supposedly made by unnamed individuals over an alleged period of time, to present to JC Penny among other department stores Larry had credit cards from stolen forged checks to be applied toward Larry’s account. It suddenly became clear to Larry that admitting to his actions and owning them were not going to be as cut and dry, because this prosecutor had been convinced Larry was somehow responsible for alleged, attempted, actions of unnamed persons, committed at unidentified locations on unidentified dates at unidentified times. Larry instructed his counsel from the very beginning to notify the State Attorney he was ready to plead guilty to his actions without any requests of any conditions, deals, reduction in charges or anything else, but that he would not under any circumstances plead guilty to crimes he had not committed. The State Attorney was not impressed nor interested at first which resulted in the case having to have Preliminary Hearings, required depositions to be scheduled and taken that were completely unnecessary & a waste of money & courts time, hearings continued that would not have had to even been held if it were not for an over zealous prosecutor seeking to charge Larry for “alleged” “attempted” crimes merely “suspected” to have been committed. Finally after wasting time, money and causing private citizens to have to change their schedules for no reason at all the State Attorney had informed Larry’s counsel they were prepared to accept his pleading guilty to his 2 counts of forgery and 2 counts of grand theft (even though Larry had challenged the claim that by applying a credit to his balance from forged checks constituted grand theft given Larry had not actually acquired of physical benefit or consideration as a result). Larry entered a plead of guilty to Two counts of Forgery and Two counts of Grand Theft and was sentences to One (1) Year Probation.
The above images are the Miami 1986 case Judgment showing Larry plead guilty to Two counts of Forgery and Two counts of Grand theft, which will be important in future Truth posts showing lies pushed with knowledge they were lies from the start.
While this will be addressed in detail in another post, we want to mention something here now. Below you will read about Larry’s last criminal conviction which took place in Colorado. Upon that conviction Florida authorities when notified by Colorado of Larry’s conviction & sentence imposed, informed Colorado that Florida would not continue to lodge a detainer against Larry for Probation violation and would instead terminated Larry’s Florida Probation. Despite that documented fact, and Larry’s eventual parole in Colorado with no outstanding warrants from Florida or any other jurisdiction, in 2004 it was discovered Florida Dept of Corrections Probation Dept had made an error in 1987 which suddenly 17 years later appeared in a national database as an outstanding arrest warrant for Larry for the charge of “Absconder/Probation Violation” which had been sought and obtained in January 1987 before Larry was sentenced in the Colorado case. It was Social Security Administration which notified Larry of the issue in 2004 at which time Larry contacted the Miami Dade Public Defenders Office as did the Miami Court after Larry filed a motion noticing the Court of the error and seeking the warrant to be quashed and Probation terminated as Florida informed Colorado officials in 1987 they were doing. The warrant was quashed, and the Court did enter an order terminating the Probation by Court order upon the Court finding Florida officials had in fact advised Colorado that was their intent.
In November 1986 Larry made the decision to travel to Colorado with the intent to visit and spend time with his mother as well as make effort to mend a relationship with a former friend who in 1985 (at the time Larry was arrested for the theft in Broward County Florida) had out of misplaced hurt & anger made a false claim to Jefferson County Colorado Sheriffs dept (after being notified by Broward County Florida authorities they had arrested Larry and had recovered a vehicle which was registered to her as well) accusing Larry of having stole the vehicle a 1985 Pontiac Fiero he was driving, from her. She claimed the vehicle was hers and that Larry had without her knowledge or authorization taken the vehicle. Because of that false claim when Larry was arrested in the Broward County case April 6, 1985 Broward County Sheriffs dept had initially listed a charge of receiving stolen property/auto rather than straight out auto theft. Initially Jefferson County Colorado sheriffs dept confirmed the charge stating Larry’s friend had contacted them making the accusation but had not yet filed an actual report. Despite the Broward County Florida arrest report listing the charge out of Colorado, Larry was never charged with receiving stolen property/auto or auto theft because the friend realized once she filed and signed a false police report she would be criminally liable for doing so. The vehicle in question was Larry’s, was bought with his friend who did co-sign, but Larry paid the downpayment and made the monthly payments on the vehicle. Larry traveled from Miami to Denver Colorado after a friend who managed the Miami Beach Motel The Ankara arranged for his plane ticket as well as his hotel stay. The motel manager had along with other staff for some time been establishing a list of former guests which included their names, their identification type, issuing agency, number and expiration dates, address, phone numbers and their credit card information used during their stay at the Ankara. Included in this list maintained by the Ankara staff were a number of Corporate Credit card accounts issued to employees across the US as well as Canada and other areas. Larry’s friend had arranged for his plane ticket using a Corporate Credit card account belonging to a Canadian company which according to his friend, they had discovered had no limit. When Larry had made the decision as where he wanted to stay after arriving based on being close to where he wanted to be the manager called the hotel in Lakewood, Colorado making a reservation for Larry. At the time he made the reservation he informed the Hotel that he would be authorizing all hotel charges incurred by Larry during his stay to be placed on his Corporate credit card which was being used to make the reservation. He even faxed to the Hotel a copy of the card holders ID, a written authorization for the hotel to charge all Larry’s charges to the card, even if the Hotel needed to seek additional authorizations during the course of Larry’s stay for charges incurred. Larry flew to Denver and checked into the Lakewood Sheraton Hotel on Union Blvd by informing the front desk of his reservation as well as the name of the person making & securing it. Larry was checked in, filled out his own personal information of the registration form and signed his own name to it. After filling out the registration form the front desk agent informed Larry that the Hotel had been authorized and directed to bill all hotel charges incurred during his stay to the credit card provided the Hotel. They continued by asking Larry if he planned on charging any hotel services such as food, bar, entertainment or any in hotel shop purchases to his room, saying they were asking to get an idea of an appropriate which to obtain a pre-authorization for on the credit card. Larry at no time presented himself as anyone other than himself to hotel ever.
Larry had no idea as to what amounts the hotel sought and received authorizations for on the credit card provided them for his stay. Nor did he ever ask. Larry only knows that on the 3rd day of his stay the front desk notified him that they would be seeking another authorization on the credit card because the authorization they had obtained had already been reached. At that time the hotel asked Larry if he had any thing planned which would result in hotel charges outside his own meals, room charges etc. Larry informed the hotel that he expected to have several friends join him for dinner that evening as well as his mother traveling from Pueblo the following day to have dinner with him. With that information the hotel sought and obtained an additional authorization on the card provided them for Larry’s stay. At all times every authorization to have anything charged directly to Larry’s room was always signed by Larry with his OWN name. It was the day after Larry’s mom and step father had traveled from Pueblo to Lakewood to visit and have dinner with him, the night auditor of the Hotel had mistakenly thought the authorizations obtained by the hotel for Larry’s hotel charges had been exceeded. It turned out that the last authorization obtained by the Hotel was for a somewhat higher amount than one would think, but the night auditor had mistakenly taken the authorized credit amount granted the hotel was actually Larry’s current room charges balance owed. Because of the auditors mistake he sought an additional authorization on the credit card on file and mistaking the last authorized credit amount as being the actual room bill balance the auditor intended to seek an authorization for one amount but had inadvertently entered a requested authorization amount of $100,000.00 which immediately sent red flags to the company whose card it was even though initially the auditors request was in fact approved. Shortly after the auditors request he received phone calls from Canada informing him they were calling on behalf of the company and due to concerns ‘about a Corporate issued credit card the hotel had just obtained an authorization on for $100,000.00.
As the company investigators spoke with the hotel night auditor explaining what got their attention the auditor discovered he had mistaken a credit authorization for room charges owed. But the mistake would be what made the company aware their card had been being used without authorization. The following day in the early afternoon Larry was in his room when detectives from the lakewood Colorado Police Department knocked on the door asking to speak with him. Larry agreed at which time the detectives informed Larry he was being placed under arrest and they would speak at the Lakewood Police Department. After arriving at the Lakewood Police Department Larry freely spoke to detectives, answering their questions and openly explaining that he traveled to Colorado from Miami, his airfare and hotel stay had been arranged for by a friend who worked as the manager of the Ankara Motel/Hotel in Miami Beach, that Larry at no time ever represented himself to be anyone other than himself, never signed anything at the hotel with any name other than his own, at no time had ever represented to the hotel or anyone else that he was in anyway authorized in any capacity to use or benefit from the account which had been provided the hotel for his hotel charges. Larry was completely honest in saying he did not know the account number, the name on the account or even the company which was the owner of the account. Larry also honestly acknowledged that even with that fact he could not honestly say he did not have a suspicion that the account information provided the hotel was done so unlawfully and without authorization for the person who provided it.
Despite what you will see later in future posts, the repeated lies claiming Larry has been charged and convicted of multiple counts of credit card fraud, fraud, illegal use of credit cards, and the repeated attempts to claim this incident to be one, Larry was not charged with credit card fraud, fraudulent use of credit cards, nor illegal use of credit cards. Truth is in order to have charged Larry with any such crimes would require Larry to have himself possessed, presented, offered the credit card or credit card information including name, number etc; presented the credit card information card, card number, name on card, to the Hotel representing he was legally authorized to do so. NONE of which Larry did nor could he have done because he never had any of that information. Larry was charged under Colorado statute with “Unauthorized use of a financial transaction device,” which under the definition of that statute, the fact Larry did receive a personal financial benefit, and Larry himself telling detectives he had even the slightest suspicions the information was stolen did in fact make Larry guilty of that criminal charge. In addition (which only because of time to challenge before the Court of Appeals had passed) Larry was charged with Forgery. The forgery charge even though Larry had at his first appearance informed the Judge, at the time was Judge Shanon, Larry did not need counsel appointed and that it was Larry’s position he was entering a plea of guilty to both charges at that time and requested the court to immediately impose sentence of the maximum of 32 years and to run them consecutive to each other (which because Larry was on probation out of Florida would be 32 years on each charge). Larry then then pose one question to Judge Shanon where he asked for some clarification as to what he was accused of forging, given the fact that Larry had not signed any thing at the Hotel with any name other than his own name. Judge Shanon was completely taken off guard by Larry’s statement to the Court and the District Attorney was shocked he had no objections to Larry’s wishes. Judge Shanon decided to take a short break, direct a Public Defender to meet with Larry and inform the court when it reconvened if they had any reason to believe Larry was incapable of making an informed decision & if they were of the opinion Larry’s position was reached of his own free will. After Court reconvened the Public Defender informed Judge Shanon they were of the opinion that Larry was very capable of making his own informed decisions, that it was their opinion Larry had taken time before his appearing in court to form his position as to the charges before him and his wishes expressed to the court were in the Public Defenders professional opinion made freely and with due consideration by Larry himself. Judge Shanon then accepted Larry’s pleas of guilty at which time the district attorney of their own choosing moved to dismiss a misdemeanor charge of unauthorized use of a financial transaction device, and Judge Shanon at that time decided he would not impose sentence then and there but instead wanted a presentence report prepared. Sentence was eventually imposed in 1987 with Larry sentenced to 16 yrs on each count running together. After sentence was imposed and Larry had been transferred to Colorado Dept of Corrections Judge Shanon had left the bench and Judge Barnhill had replaced him. Larry had filed for Post Conviction relief as to the Forgery charge and plea after despite constantly trying to determine what was being alleged to have been forge failed to come up with anything even remotely possible to constitute forgery. Judge Barnhill denied the requests despite neither the court of the District Attorney ever being able to produce any act which would come close to being seen as forgery. Sadly Larry waited far too long to seek help in appealing the Forgery charge to the Colorado Court of Appeals who in 1996 ruled the Appeal was time barred for failing to file timely even though in 1995 having been shown there was no Factual Basis as required under Colorado law ever entered in the Court for Larry’s guilty plea to forgery.
So there you have the truth vs the LIES about Larry’s criminal history. No Larry has not ever been charged or convicted of Alien Smuggling, Falsely making Official forgery instruments, Organized dealing in Stolen Property, Fugitive from Justice, Fraud/Illegal use of credit cards, Possession of Class D substance, Assault, Verbal Abuse, Threats, Intimidating/ion, Sexual Misconduct and NO Larry does not have a criminal history spanning 27 years.
