SDNY / NC, March 29
-- It emerged in the Larry Ray trial
on March 29 that fund from the forced
prostitution of Claudia Drury had been
laundered to Talia Ray through a failed North
Carolina politician, Lowell Simon.
But there
was more. The donors to Simon included not
only Felicia Rosario, whose banking
information Larry Ray took, and Isabella
Pollok who gave it up, but also Gordon Ray,
Larry' step-father. Why had others not made
this connection?
It was
the $5000 from Gordon Ray which put Lowell
Simon's income from the Larry Ray conspiracy /
Claudia Drury escort business higher than what
he paid Talia Ray. He or his campaign took a
cut, for the laundering. And what were the
prosecutors doing about it? The demands to
keep other Johns protected continued. But Kurt
Wheelock pushed forward past #JohnListGone,
more on Patreon here.
[It, like a song
about Lev Parnas was also
covered, behind a paywall, by
New York Magazine which had this
to say about Inner City Press'
covered in late 2021 of the
Ghislaine Maxwell trial, book
here
via one of the companies with
an executive on the John
list.]
When Inner
City Press for investigative
reporting was roughed up and thrown
out onto First Avenue
from covering the United
Nations of/by UNSG Antonio
Guterres, many did nothing.
But as we've previously noted,
the First Amendment stops at
First Avenue. We'll have more
on this, here and on other
platforms.
