In 2007, Moe accepted a payment from a friend to drive a Uhaul from Orlando to Tavares because that friend did not have a driver’s license. This decision would result in Moe being sentenced to 10 years in prison.
A month after he drove the Uhaul to Tavares, Moe and the friend were arrested for Dealing in Stolen Property, Grand Theft Second Degree, and Burglary of a Structure. There was no arrest affidavit in that case, but it was alleged that there were construction materials inside the back of the Uhaul.
While he was never convicted of any of those charges after a jury acquitted him in Orange County, and the state attorney’s office in Lake County dismissed the dealing in stolen property case, Orange County judge Alicia L. Latimore still sent him to prison because she believed that driving the Uhaul, alone, constituted the crime of Grand Theft Third Degree (which Moe was never charged with).
This is what set Moe on his path to studying the law, confronting corruption, and raising awareness about corruption in our court system. Moe has always maintained his innocence, and in 2024 he sued Alicia L. Latimore for the illegal prison sentence and for repeatedly falsifying documents in that case over the course of a decade to coverup what she did. Latimore did not deny the allegations, including sending fraudulent documents to the Florida Department of Corrections about why Moe was in prison.
While in prison, Moe witnessed the depths of Florida’s corruption crisis, which he detailed in his 2016 book It Takes a Criminal to Know One: How the Inspector General and I are One and the Same.
Corruption runs rampant when officials think no one is looking. FDOC was, therefore, Ground Zero for it. Moe wrote the book on FDLE as a result. His newfound legal acumen combined with his outspoken contempt for corruption led to an assassination attempt, which Moe survived. This led to a lawsuit that culminated in the precedent-setting law Dimanche v. Brown, which gave added protections to our First Amendment rights, set precedent for protecting us from cruel and unusual punishment, and set precedent for appellate courts across the nation to take Judicial Notice of agency records.
The Judicial Notice precedent was critical for attorneys across the nation who argue Civil Rights cases in the federal circuit courts because it allowed for high courts to examine records that may not have made it into the record on appeal. Evidence that may have been overlooked can be considered. This expansion of the examination of agency records gave lawyers a valuable tool and Dimanche v. Brown has been cited to resolve nearly 200 federal cases since it became law in 2015.
The primary reason the 11th Circuit did this was because they were dealing with an assassination attempt, and a real-time analysis of agency records was critical to determine whether or not there would be a second attempt. It almost cost Moe his life, but he has enhanced Constitutional rights for all Americans by continuing to fight in the face of government corruption.
In 2016 Moe’s art earned him a scholarship to Florida School of the Arts at St. Johns River State College in Palatka, Florida where he pursued a degree in Studio Art. Moe continued to use this art he created while incarcerated to highlight the intersection of art and government corruption.
His art has been featured in multiple galleries, he was honored and recognized by the City of Kissimmee for hosting Art in Public Places, and he has spoken at the International Center of Photography.
Moe’s art has been featured in Folio, the Conversation, Salon.com, The Record and many more publications. He has appeared on NPR radio and Conservative Talk Radio with both Melissa Ross and Kris Phillips, proving that conversations about art, corruption, and reform span the entire political spectrum.
In 2023, Moe dived into local politics and ran for Mayor of Orlando with a warm welcome onto the scene by the People. Moe focused on the homelessness crisis, corruption, the government preying on local businesses downtown, crime reduction, and the economy.
The City refused to allow Moe’s name to appear on the ballot and mayor Buddy Dyer orchestrated a fake 911 call while Moe was collecting petitions at the Magic Mall to stop Moe from continuing to gain support from the community. Orlando’s internal affairs investigated officer David Alban for his role in the fake 911 call but never released its findings. Moe sued based on election interference by the city clerk, Buddy Dyer and Orlando Police.
While judge Vincent Chiu initially declined to order a new election, Chief Judge Lisa Munyon revived the case after Moe declared his candidacy for Governor and ordered a resolution to the election interference case. A new election would have been called, but since it took an entire year and Moe had already declared his candidacy for Governor, Moe decided to dismiss that case. He simply added election interference to the list of issues he will tackle as Governor of the State of Florida.
Moe ran for District 5 Commissioner after Ron DeSantis suspended Commissioner Regina Hill from office. Despite legally qualifying in that race, and timely paying the qualifying fee, the city clerk returned the check to Moe, which is illegal under the Florida Election Code, and accused him of not paying the fee because pulling a check from a candidate’s campaign account was not authorized by the city charter, even though that is what every other candidate did in that race.
Moe did not sue for election interference a second time given the fact that the first case took an entire year for a ruling. He simply accepted that Orlando’s elections are natively rigged, and committed himself to cleaning out city hall as Governor of the State of Florida. No city should be held hostage by a system that picks its candidates and systemically rigs its elections. And Orlando is not the only city that violates the Florida Election Code this way.
No matter where you look, corruption is everywhere in the State of Florida. Rigged elections? Check. Corrupt judges? Check. And now we are in the business of promoting feeding migrants to alligators! This is unacceptable and will not survive for a single minute under a Dimanche administration.
Corruption is everywhere, even down to our school system, property appraisers, HOAs and practically anything else you can name. If the tide is not turned soon, the State of Florida will end up at the point of no return. Moe is going to change that, and find corruption in every crevice of this Great State, and root it out, no matter how big or how small.
After serial killer Keith Moses took the lives of 9-year-old T’Yonna Major, 24-year-old Spectrum News reporter Dylan Lyons and 38-year-old Nathacha Augustin, the Pine Hills community came together for a town hall to address the failures of Orange County sheriff John Mina and the lack of law enforcement resources in Pine Hills.
It was here that Moe questioned why Mina was not present at the town hall to hear the cries of surviving family members after being invited, and Moe subsequently proposed incorporating Pine Hills into its own municipality in order to secure a law enforcement presence by establishing its own police department.
Moe is currently leading the push to incorporate the municipality of the City of West Orlando, for which he has already drafted the Charter, although Orange County insiders like the sheriff, the county mayor, a local council and county commissioners are absolutely opposed to the idea. They would lose control over the People, and access to immense taxation that never goes back to the People.
The vulnerabilities of being unincorporated affect more than just Pine Hills, and Moe is seeking to put control into the hands of the residents of South Apopka, parts of Ocoee, Windermere and every part of unincorporated West Orange County whose government fails to serve them adequately.
No MOE Corruption means that corruption will be hunted down and eliminated, from the Everglades to Pensacola, and the People will find faith in a government that truly works for them, not the other way around.
Moe is married with 3 sons, ages 5 (twins) and 11.
