The drug game is and always was a billion dollar industry. Here’s a list compiled by The Telegraph of some of the world’s most notorious kingpins to ever “move dat dope”.
Frank Lucas AKA: “Superfly”
Country of operation: USA
Downfall: His house was raided in 1975 where more than half a million dollars-worth of cash was found at the scene. Lucas was arrested and later sentenced to 70 years in prison for over 100 drug-related convictions.
The heroin dealer and organised crime boss operated in Harlem during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Renowned for buying his supplies direct from sources in the Golden Triangle Lucas stored the goods in coffins of dead American servicemen. His career was famously dramatised in the 2007 film, American Gangster. He was portrayed by Denzel Washington.
