Everything about Frank Lucas Drug Lord totally explained
Frank Lucas (born
September 9,
1930 in
La Grange,
North Carolina and raised in
Greensboro, North Carolina) is a former
heroin dealer, and organized crime boss in
Harlem during the late 1960s and early 1970s. He was particularly known for
cutting out middlemen in the drug trade and buying heroin directly from his source in
the Golden Triangle. Frank Lucas is popularly known for smuggling heroin using the coffins of dead American servicemen, a claim his South Asian associate,
Leslie "Ike" Atkinson denies. He is the subject of the 2007 film
American Gangster.
Early life
Lucas claims that the incident that sparked his motivation into the life of crime was witnessing his 12-year-old cousin's murder at the hands of the KKK, for apparently "reckless eyeballing" (looking at a Caucasian woman), in
Greensboro, North Carolina.
Criminal career
After Johnson's death, Lucas traveled around and came to the realization that to be successful he'd have to break the monopoly that the Italian mafia held in New York. Traveling to Southeast Asia, he eventually made his way to Jack's American Star Bar, an
R&R hangout for black soldiers. . . . It had to be snug. You couldn't have shit sliding around. Ike was very smart, because he made sure we used heavy guys' coffins. He didn't put them in no skinny guy's . . ."|Frank Lucas has said he shipped drugs in furniture, not caskets. He fathered seven children, including a daughter, Francine Lucas-Sinclair, and a son, Frank Lucas, Jr. When he was arrested in the mid-1970s, all of Lucas' assets were seized.. In his house authorities found $584,683.
