Frank Lucas (source:wikipedia.org:
Career
He claims to have grossed US$1 million a day selling drugs on 116th Street.[2] Federal judge Sterling Johnson, who was special narcotics prosecutor in New York at the time of Lucas' crimes, called Lucas' operation "one of the most outrageous international dope-smuggling gangs ever, an innovator who got his own connections outside the U.S. and then sold the narcotics himself in the street." He had connections with the Sicilian and Mexican mobs, holding an enormous monopoly on the heroin market in Manhattan. In an interview with Lucas (75 years old) he said, "I wanted to be rich. I wanted to be Donald Trump rich, and so help me God, I made it." [2]
According to an interview dated August 14, 2000 with New York Magazine,[2] Lucas relied on a tightly controlled crew called "The Country Boys". He preferred using relatives and men from his hometown in North Carolina because they were less likely to steal from him and weren't used to city living. His heroin "Blue Magic" was 98% pure when shipped from asia and sold at 10% purity on the street; twice the purity of other heroin on the street at the time. In this direct quote from the article, Lucas was worth "something like $52 million," most of it in Cayman Islands banks. Added to this is "maybe 1,000 keys of dope on hand" with a potential profit of no less than $300,000 per kilo. Also in his portfolio were office buildings in Detroit, apartments in Los Angeles and Miami. There was also "Frank Lucas's Paradise Valley," a several-thousand-acre spread back in North Carolina on which ranged 300 head of Black Angus cows, including a breeding bull worth $125,000.[citation needed]
Lucas rubbed shoulders with the elite in entertainment, politics, and crime, even meeting Howard Hughes at one of Harlem's best clubs in his day. He wore mink and chinchilla and dressed his wife in the best. He fathered 7 children.[citation needed]
When he was arrested in the mid-70's, all of Lucas' assets were seized by the government.
[edit] Arrest and Release
In 1975, Frank Lucas was arrested in New Jersey by detective Richie Roberts and was convicted of both federal and New Jersey state drug violations. In 1976, he was sentenced to 70 years in prison. Once convicted, Lucas provided evidence that led to more than 100 drug-related convictions of law enforcement officers.[3] His sentence was reduced and changed to parole, so that he was released from prison in 1981. In 1984 he was arrested again and convicted for new drug violations and a parole violation. He received a sentence of seven years and was released from prison in 1991.[4]
[edit] Film
The story of Frank Lucas was told by the film American Gangster, directed by Ridley Scott. In the film, released on November 2, 2007, Lucas is portrayed by Denzel Washington. Lucas and his former competitor, Nicky Barnes, sat down with New York magazine's Mark Jacobson recently for a historic conversation between men who have not spoken to each other in 30 years.[5] |

Richie Robert (Rusell Crowe) source:wikipedia.org
Richie Roberts, (born Richard M. Roberts on June 23, 1941) is a Bronx native raised in Newark, New Jersey. A former Marine and New Jersey Police Detective for Essex County (and an Essex County Prosecutor's Detective), Roberts eventually became an Essex County Assistant Prosecutor, heading the Bureau of Narcotics after passing the New Jersey Bar Examination.[1] He is portrayed by Russell Crowe in the film American Gangster (2007) as the detective who brings down Harlem drug lord Frank Lucas. After working as a prosecutor, Roberts became a criminal defense attorney, and still works as one today. Strangely, the first person he defended was Lucas, for the same crime for which he prosecuted him.[2] To this day, Roberts and Lucas remain friends. [3][4]
Roberts attended Weequahic High School in Newark.[4] |
