H L Hunt was one of the moneyed oil men, probably part of the Suite 8F group, that stuck together to look after the oil interests and prevent the planned elimination of the oil depletion allowance that shielded about 30% of the income from federal taxation.

Hunt was known to finance conservative causes including the John Birch Society. As a business man, he was generous with his employees – and it paid off well as they tipped him off about other oil fields he was able to profit from. Since he was home schooled before it was fashionable, he did not attend public schools. He commented that education is an obstacle to making money.

H.L. Hunt: Motive & Opportunity
by John Curington, Mitchel Whitington

After being summarily thrown out of the upcoming 1964 World's Fair project, presumably at the instruction of JFK himself, billionaire H.L. Hunt turned to John Curington, his attorney, and said, "I've about got a belly-full of those Kennedy boys. They both need to go." A few months later John Kennedy would be dead, followed by his brother a few years later.

Formerly undisclosed and privileged information suggests that one man could have had the motive and opportunity to influence the untimely deaths of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, along with the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa.

For the first time, John Curington, lawyer to Haroldson Lafayette "H.L." Hunt Jr., divulges once-private information to author Mitchel Whitington, that substantiates the fact that a conspiracy could have indeed existed.

Come explore a previously-untold story - the story of John Curington - that may fill gaps in the tragic tales of these important national figures, and provide information that has never been unearthed before. Read it for yourself, and be the judge as to whether H.L. Hunt had both the motive and opportunity to have influenced the deaths of such prominent men.

by Harry Hurt

This book is the true story of H. L. Hunt and family. It is not an authorized biography. However, in the course of researching the book and the Texas Monthly and Playboy articles which preceded it, the author was able to interview members of all three branches of the Hunt clan, among them Nelson Bunker Hunt, William Herbert Hunt, Mrs. H. L. (Ruth) Hunt, Ray Hunt, and Hugh S. Hunt. Hurt also conducted over 250 interviews with relatives, friends, associates, avowed enemies, and present and former employees of the Hunts, and studies over 10,000 pages of court documents, film transcripts, media clippings, books, and photographs by and about the Hunts. This piece of writing is the product of that research.
