      Good research, my dude. This goes to show there is no loyalty in that game, and trusting a woman who is used to getting the finer things in life to be loyal and you in jail for life, forget about it.
      What did Nicky think was going to happen?
      However, for him to snitch like he did on other dudes makes him a weak Azz dude, another reason I chose an engineering degree over drugs.
      I had the opportunity as I grew in the crack epidemic of the 80s, and, being from Chicago, I am sure my fate would have been the Big 2️⃣.

    Word Up! I'm delighted that you're continuing to develop as a true organized crime historian! Excellent job on the research, narration, and photos on an OG like Leroy "Nicky" Barnes!
    He was a legend in NYC as one of the most influential crime bosses during the heyday of gangsterism in the 1970s.
    Nicky Barnes was a thug who created an organization of murderous, capable, and intelligent Black men along the same structure as Cosa Nostra.
    I would love to see a QUALITY biopic about this legendary New York gangster!
    His memoir by Tom Folsom was great, and I highly recommend it to any student on the subject of organized crime.
    Big props my brother! You've been doing a fantastic job.
    I would love to see a video on the Jones Brothers and Ted Roe of Chicago as well in the future. There are too many people who believe that gangsterism is only limited to men of European descent.

    Barnes & Bumpy were legends. Ok maybe not in a good way.
    I made a lot of bad decisions in my younger years and
    Nicky & Bumpy were in a business that unfortunately i was involved in as a user, so thier names were well known on dastreets. Thank the lord i straightened out, hearing these stories bring back some of those war stories of the 70s.

Barnes showed them what happens when they don't keep faith and a few simple words get spoken in the right ears.

    I need to hear this. I was born in 1961. My mother almost married one of the sons of the man who brought the numbers racket to the north. His name was White AL, and my mom was engaged to his son, Raymond Gray.

    I highly recommend “Pleasant Ave Connection by David Durkos. It’s long out of print and pretty expensive. Since your family is one of the best in the city; I have a chewed up, but readable copy I’ll gladly donate. Also, it was a shame that Nicky Barnes ratted out infamous Jewish gangster/French connection wholesaler Herbie Sperling as a “token of goodwill” to his new handler G men. Could you imagine Herbie being alive to see all these rat podcasts?😂

    Correction. It wasn't Nicky Barnes's girlfriend who was the reason why Nicky ratted them out. It was when he'd found out that Guy was sleeping with his wife that upset him. There's a documentary out where Nicky talks about it. The murder of his girlfriend, if i recall. Was a revenge for ratting out the Jewish mafia, whom were also connected to him.

      Guy was screwing the girlfriend, Beverly Ash (Shamecca)… Nicky’s wife, Thelma, was screwing a dude named Tito. Shamecca’s murder was tied to Mark Reiter, a dealer under Sal Ruggerio. Ruggerio was a known associate of the Bergin Crew, whose Capo was John Gotti.
      Most of this is detailed in his biography, Mr Untouchable

      Guy was sleeping with Nicky’s girlfriend. Shamecca. She was killed by the mafia because he was ratting. T was his wife. She is still alive. I think.

      @@kewanw16 yes. I'm aware this. But as I'd stated, and I'm quoting Nicky himself. It was his wife having an affair with Guy, was his reason that he'd dismantled the crime organization. Watch the documentary, 'Mr Untouchable' where he'd stated that. Speaking of Guy. He was released out of prison a few years ago
