A Franklin lawyer whose license was revoked after he acknowledged that he had loaned himself more than $3.5 million from an estate for which he was an executor was indicted Wednesday by a federal grand jury.
In April, the Virginia State Bar Disciplinary Board revoked the license of James Edward Moyler Jr., 79, of Williamsburg after he had been ordered by Southampton County Circuit Court to account for funds in at least two - perhaps three - additional estates. Judgments for about $4.5 million were filed against him in Southampton, according to court records.
He allegedly made false statements in October 2008 and in January when he failed to list more than $3.9 million in liabilities he owed the estate of Lucille K. Steinhardt, according to the federal indictment, cited in a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia. As executor, he allegedly loaned himself the money from 2001 through 2005.
