Frank Lucas is truly a unique man, if you go by his own words. So, according to him, he was first a confidant and the closest friend of Harlem’s Godfather Ellsworth “Bumpy” Johnson. Then he single-handedly ran a heroin smuggling route from Southeast Asia to the U.S., personally visited the jungle and defeated a whole group of enemies with a gun in his hands. And in the end he became the richest drug trafficker in the United States.
Lucas so convincingly told the press about it after he was first imprisoned with a 70-year sentence, then released for cooperation with the authorities, that Ridley Scott even made a movie about him, where Frank is played by Denzel Washington.
But was it really like that? We have collected for you all possible versions of the facts of Lucas’s life, both from him and from contemporaries and researchers of organized crime, and are ready to present the “American Gangster” story from different angles, trying to clarify for you as much as possible where there’s truth, and where there are lies. And if you’re interested in hearing about it, then meet Frank Lucas, on the other side of the law.
