That was actually a black vietnam vet named ike atkinson who was bringing the heroin using his army connects, and he was based in north carolina, Lucas was just one of his customers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ike_Atkinson
you should watch mr untouchable on netflix its barnes documentary in which he stars.

Cool Thanks Scorsese yeah that was a good movie but Frank was a snitch because someone messed with his women and I remember there was a lawsuit about him taking corrupt cops down because among the so-called corrupt cops was who else but Mr Hollywood Black Sunglasses fa***t Joe Pistone "That not true your honor can I have my allowance now for being a rat!"

Ok this is the story with frank lucas nicky barnes

Nicky bought from Madonna

Frank lucas cousin was the mastermind of the Heroin in the coffin

NB was head of the council which was 7 black dealers running NY FL was not a member of this council

FL snitchched on cops NB got sentenced to life than a year later found out one of the council members was fuckin his wife so then he snitched.But he never snitched on MM if u watch Mr untouchable he talks with contempt about the council members but always talks good of mathew madonna

a human being can only take 'so much' time inside. m.m. catches a big sentence,who knows?

Have Madonna and dinapoli been sentenced yet or r they still free on bail ??

Last i heard they were still out on bail, they'll try stall it as long as they can so they can die in there beds lol

According to this article, found in the Utica Press Dec 22, 1976, Madonna imported his heroin from Bangkok, Thailand. At least that was what he was convicted of.

"Convicted Man Draws Maximum Term"

"A 41- year-old Bronx man
convicted with two others
of conspiring to smuggle 12
pounds of heroin from
Bangkok to New York, was
sentenced Tuesday to a
maximum term of 30 years
in prison and fined
$50 000.
In imposing the sentence
on Matthew Madonna,
Judge Robert L Carter
said it was the "hardest
sentence I have ever inflicted
and hope never to
have to impose again".
The sentence consisted
of 15 years each on two
counts to run consecutive
and a $25,000 fine on each
count and was the maximum
the court could have
imposed.
Salvatore Larca 32, also
of the Bronx who Judge
Carter characterized as a
"junior partner" in the
conspiracy, also received
two 15 year terms but to
run concurrently
The third man, Richard
Klinger 34 of Orange-
Calif, was sentenced to six
months in prison and
placed on probation for 18
months. The judge said
there was no evidence
Klinger had been involved
in a large scale operation."

Correct, Tommy Boy .

And on a bit of a more serious note, at least two of the lower level bookmakers in the case just nixed another sweetheart plea deal. No time. Small forfeiture. But someone apparently "convinced" them to turn it down .

It's really not fair to the street level guys in that case. But very little about the life is fair.

It's not a global plea deal so why does it matter.

him and Jackie nose have the same job at some soda distributor. wonder if there both still working. you own a bar or restaurant and these 2 role up your switching to them. they must drive all around NYC just signing people up won't take no for a answer. they must really work I bet not that it a hard job. you think that Marco polo restaurant in bk goes to them or wat ever company the persicos own.

that's a good question who was the biggest vending machine guys in NYC. patriarca had new england to him self I read that boss in Milwaukee own it.

Mathew madonna was origanally from Pleasant ave its funny that he became made with the luchese instead of the genevese.

I still cant believe this jersey case from 2007 isnt resolved yet. Its absolutely unheard of. Unless the feds are working on some sort of federal indictment.

My question always was, Barnes bought from Madonna, where did Madonna get the smack?

Those three guys are looking to live out their days through adjournments .

It's funny, but it's not fair to the younger guys who want to plea . [/quote


The books "Blue Domino" and "Pleasent Ave Connection" sum up that era. My question always was, Barnes bought from Madonna, where did Madonna get the smack?

Speaking of West 8th, Shakepreasrs still there? Great burgers!
