I document several instances in the book of where Frank Biden used his connection to his famous and powerful money to make ill-gotten cash, but the most shocking Frank Biden story involved a hit-and-run car crash.
Two witnesses who were in the back seat during the crash claim that Frank Biden told Turton to "Keep driving" after the fatal collision.
Turton eventually pleaded guilty to "Felony hit and run" charges, while Frank was hit with a wrongful-death lawsuit in August 2000 by the guardians of the Albano daughters.
Frank never showed up to the court-house for any hearings, and he refused to reply to "Any legal correspondence from the court, including a court final judgment in September 2002 that Frank owed each of the girls $275,000 for his role in the tragedy," Peter Schweizer reported in his book Profiles in Corruption.
Francis W. "Frank" Biden, the younger brother of then-Vice President Joe Biden, in an interview at his Ocean Ridge, Florida, home on October 2, 2011.
Biden's chief of staff replied callously: "Senator Biden has received your letter of September 16 regarding a judgment by your clients against his brother Frank. The Senator wishes to express his deep sympathy with the Albano daughters over their loss.... Frank has no assets with which to satisfy the judgment. The Senator regrets that this is where matters stand and that he cannot be more helpful."
"Indeed, seven days before Joe Biden's office sent that letter, his brother was slapped with a tax lien from the IRS for $23,638.59 in unpaid taxes. In total, he owed more than $32,000 at the time, a clear indication that Frank had income. In 2013, he paid off the tax lien in full."
