I worked in the Kitchen with Ike at Raybrook. I also knew Smedley and others that lived in Bank Kok before coming to the U.S. for prosecution with Ike, Eddie Wooten was also my friend those guys were true to the game. I met Thelma Barnes at M.C.C. in N.Y. ; Fat Stevie; Lloyd Omar Ward. The list goes on. Those New Yorkers were no joke, I was the jail house lawyer for a minute. I got love for them.

We no that Tango was a made up person for the film and im sure they is other things made up. I think that Lucas might of been CIA because the CIA were bringing in heroin from Laos and Thailand during Vietnam so Lucas could of been the front guy. Can a normal guy from America fly out to Thailand and get himself that much heroin and get it flown into the country on Military planes without anyone knowing ? then you have the fact that the CIA also used the same method of delivery so to me it cries CIA.

But the way he said he got it is why most ppl callin him out. Mayme is prolly mad cause she feel like he riding bumpys coat tail. She don't like how he using bumpy as a claim to fame. If him and bumpy were close she woulda known. Street business is one thing but knowing family friends is another.

She also said that her husband,Bumpy,died in her arms and that Frank was no where around. If you listen to the way Frank talks and if you are street savy at all you will realize that that man is nowhere near the character that Denzil played. He sounds and acts ignorant and a man like that could have never pulled the shit that the Sergeant did.

Drug dealers dont force the drugs on anyone. Also the biggest drug industry is the United states the dealers are pharmacies doctors and dentists the CIA has agents pretending there American drug lords they will order a ton of opium. cocaine etc... then the shipment gets busted the news tell u half million ton of dope was seized the other almost billion lbs goes to Americas pharmaceuticals and they make into vicodin,percocet, oxycodone, novocain etc.. then go into the country where they bout it from blame them and ho in destroying it what they want u to see. Cuz the rest they steal it like oil in the middle east and there opium. What u think a fraternity is big ass drug ring. The doctor or dentist he going to diagnose u with shit u dont have then send u to his frat brother the pharmacist, and so on big ass hustle. So what you should say is fucc all doctors and dentists etc...

That is not what this short interview is about, he is trying to correct the history for the people who are interested in these things to have an accurate account of what happened. I'm sure that if you fine people who spend your time commenting on what a rotten guy this 85 year old, now dead man is, would invent a time machine, that he would go back in time and try to find another way for himself to make a living. So get inventing, we need that time machine pronto.

I honestly believe that Hollywood didn't want to tell Nicky Barnes's story because he like Bumpy Johnson before him was a true boss that didn't bow down to italian mobsters
