One of the people who claimed she was a victim spent years in jail on perjury charges.

I think there's more *there* there with this one, however.

Larry King was eventually convicted of embezzlement.

The sex scandal part of it was almost assuredly a hoax, so unless they're linked to the embezzlement, there wouldn't be a connection.

is exactly what we should be doing to the Kochs but ours would be accomplished by just sharing the truth. Every ignorant right winger knows how “evil and corrupt” Soros supposedly is even though they couldn’t even begin to tell you what he supposedly did.

that when the information becomes available to the public, there will be no need to vilify any of them, that will simply no longer be necessary as the exploits of exploitation become apparent.

As the wise man once told me, "most wounds are self-inflicted."
