Larry Sinclair through his 63 years of life has used Three (3) names. All legal name at the time used. Born September 26, 1961 as Lawrence Wayne Sinclair as clearly demonstrated in the Official South Carolina Birth Certificate uploaded. The lie pushed claimed Larry used 13 to 16 fake names.

From Sept 26, 1961 he like 99.9% of the Lawrences’ in the US have, went by recognized nickname Larry until May 10, 1982. Pinal County Arizona Superior Court Judge E.D. McBryde signed ORDER in Pinal County Case Number 33445 In Re SINCLAIR Change of Name on PETITION FOR LEGAL CHANGE OF NAME, on May 10, 1982. Lawrence Wayne Sinclair, Petitioner filed March 10, 1982 his LEGAL name was La-Rye Ashaiti Silvas from May 10, 1982 until July 25, 1983.



Upon the Legal Name Change taking effective May 10, 1982 Larry filed certified Copies of ORDER & notice of Legal Name Change with Social Security Administration as well as IRS. Larry held an Arizona Drivers License in his Legal Name La-Rye Ashaiti Silvas.
Larry did on July 12, 1983 file a Petition for Legal Change of Name in The Superior Court for the State of Arizona in the County of Pinal, Pinal County Case Number 34241. Superior Court Judge E.D. McBryde on July 15, 1983 issued ORDER Setting Hearing on Petition for Legal Change of Name on July 25, 1983 at 10:00 AM


After brief Court hearing, involving short examination by the Court July 25, 1983; Petition for Legal Change of Name filed July 12, 1983 Honorable E. D. McBryde GRANTED Petition. Court entered ORDER Granting Petition ordering: “…shall be legally known as La-Rye Vizcarra Avila, for all intents and purposes under the law. La-Rye Vizcarra Avila remained legal name from July 25, 1983 until June 13, 1997.


Fall 1996 Larry learned his father was in Hospice, not expected to live to the new year. His father died December 31, 1996. After learning of his fathers condition, Larry decided he would file to legally change his name back to his given birth name. Having no reason to not do it, he had only changed it in 1983 to carry the same middle & last name of the man he had fell in love with. The relationship had ended more than a decade earlier.
Late 1996 in District Court for the State of Colorado in the County of Fremont, Application for Legal Change of Name District Court Case Number 96CV1780 was filed. On June 13, 1997 after filing Publisher Affidavits showing required Three (3) separate publications of Public Notice of Name Change in the Canon City Daily Record with the Court, Judge Julie G. Marshall entered ORDER changing name to Lawrence (Larry) Wayne Sinclair.

The facts always demonstrated Larry always used LEGAL name. Shown he lived; worked; leased housing; held bank accounts & carried legal identification only under legal name at all times. Social Security, Internal Revenue Service, etc. were immediately supplied certified copies of the Court’s ORDER changing name. No Law Enforcement agency; Court; official; school; government agency or individual has ever alleged he ever used any name other than his legal name. NOT one accusation ever made by Law Enforcement Agency, Court, Agency, Bank, Employer, Landlord, or anyone else Larry ever held, presented, or possessed any identification under any name except his legal name.
The reason there has never been any such allegation or accusation or even suspicion to that affect is simple: Larry has NEVER used any name at any time in his life other than his LEGAL name.
Now below are the “fake” names published for almost 18 years saying he has used 13-16 fake names. This list of names came from a State of Colorado agency which enters names as entered in reports. Misspellings and all, by any official in any report, arrest generated by any Law Enforcement or Corrections agency. With the exception of one name in the list, the alleged “fake” names aren’t fake names at all. ALL are mis-spellings of his LEGAL name individuals making reports entered themselves.
The one name GAHANAN, MOHAMMED or GAHANAN , MOHAMMED FATHA on that list came from a Cochise County Sheriff Dept report when he was 17 years old and in Arizona youth program VisionQuest. While attending Cochise Community College, which had a large young male Iranian student population enrolled in its pilot training program, he had become friends with some of the guys. They shared a house down the street from school where he spent a good bit of time at the house with them. He decided to take off from the “Farm” where he was moved to be closer to school than he was at the Lodge in Elfrida.
Leaving the Farm he went straight to the guys house at first. He knew sheriff would show up looking for him after VisionQuest reported him a run-away. It wasn’t long after leaving the guys house that Cochise County Deputies showed up asking if he was there. The guys had given him the nick name above, was never used anywhere except between us when hanging out at school or their house.
When Deputies showed up after not understanding at first, one of the guys in the house told the one talking to the Deputy he was looking for him, using the nickname given. The nick name was written down by the deputy and included in his report as a nick name given him by Iranian friends from school.
These are the alleged “FAKE” names used, yet the agency which they were taken from made clear there is NO record he ever used any name other than his legal name any time or any where, the names are from reports written & generated by individuals based on interviews with various people over various events, years, when a name provided deputies ask person being interviewed for a spelling. If individual doesn’t give a spelling the deputy attempts to figure it out.

Ignoring TRUTH and FACTS , 2023-2024 Ben Smith, first to publish the lie in 2008, doubled down republishing it at Semafor. In Smith’s 2023 Semafor piece writing, “…who goes by the name Lawrence Wayne Sinclair now, if that is his real name…”. 17 years from first publication of known & proven lie, The DailyMail published it 42 times in less than 80 days in 2023. Sinclair Broadcast Group published & distributed it to 186+ local TV stations who added it to their websites.
MSNBC; New York Post; NY Daily News; Toronto Sun; Yahoo News; NewsWeek; The Guardian; The Telegraph; The Daily Dot; Media Matters; The Daily Beast; The Pueblo Chieftain; Ryan Grim and Emily Jashinsky Breaking Points “Counter Point” Co-Anchors broadcast the lie along with 100+ other podcasters etc.
