If you've ever seen the film, "Paid In Full".....Rico...was based on Albert "Alpo" Martinez.



According to the street crime magazine DD, Alpo has been released

ALPO” Martinez is home FREE!
Known for killing business partners and friends, the notorious government informant, and ex-Harlem drug kingpin, Alberto Geddis “Alpo” Martinez has been released from federal prison. He is currently in the witness protection program awaiting his new identity. This is fact, not rumor or speculation.

Alpo Martinez reached out to Don Diva’s CEO, Kevin Chiles through a mutual female friend. Alpo told the female friend, “Me and Kev were cool. Kev believes I told on him, and I just want to talk to him to set the record straight with him. Can you give him the message and get back to me.”

“We were all friends [Chiles, Porter, and Martinez]. Preceding him killing Rich we were all cool on the street. We hung out. We got money. The fact that he told on anyone is not okay for me, and there is nothing to discuss, but even if he didn’t tell, we still wouldn’t be good because he killed Rich. I’m not cool with how that went. –Kevin Chiles, CEO – Don Diva Magazine

The drug kingpins in Harlem during the crack era co-existed and were all cool with each other to a certain extent. Not necessarily friends, but they either got money together, or they partied together at one time or another. This has led to Harlem being divided on their feelings towards Alpo, even present day. There are players who are adamant in their stance that Alpo is a snitch; his legacy has been tarnished, and they want no parts of him. There are, of course, people who are neutral and have no opinion one way or another. But surprisingly there are people who still correspond with him and have been for years and don’t see anything wrong with it.

Alpo hails from Spanish Harlem and rose to prominence in the coke game in the 80’s. Alongside Azie “AZ” Faison and Rich Porter, this trio–which the Roc-A-Fella movie Paid In Full was based on–revolutionized the cocaine trade in the Sugar Hill section of Harlem. Mainly through The Jukebox, a game room Faison set up on 145th St. between 7th and 8th Avenues where they hid money and drugs in video games like Pac-Man. The trio became local celebrities, flaunting exclusive cars, clothes, and jewelry, to the delight of admirers.

After a time, Alpo moved to Washington, D.C. to live with a girlfriend. The drug conviction of Rayful Edmond, who was the premier D.C. drug lord left a vacancy in the D.C. Drug trade. Alpo’s signature swagger and likability nature gained him popularity on the streets of the nation’s capitol, and he went on to become a kingpin in yet another city. His success in the game is largely due to Wayne “Silk” Perry, who Alpo befriended and recruited as his enforcer. Before long, Alpo was moving 30 kilos of coke per day. The money rolled in while the bodies hit the floor. Alpo would commit various murders in the name of maintaining his empire. The most notable of Alpo’s murders was the January 1990 murder of Rich Porter, his right-hand man.

The feds arrested Alpo Martinez on November 6, 1991. They hit him with various drug charges, along with murder and conspiracy to commit murder, including the murders of D.C. hustler Michael “Fray” Salters and Brooklyn dealer Domenico Benson. Though having done the deeds and knowing the rules of the game, Alpo couldn’t handle what he was facing; life behind bars or a possible death sentence. The Washington Post reported that as Alpo (25) appeared in court after his November 1991 arrest sniffling loudly as tears welled up in his eyes. Alpo began to cooperate with the federal government almost immediately. Along with telling on everyone he could, Alpo confessed to committing 14 brutal murders.

Alpo’s biggest betrayal was telling on Wayne “Silk” Perry, the man who protected him on the streets, with unyielding loyalty. Alpo told the government that Wayne killed Garrett ‘Gary’ Terrell (infamous drug lord in the D.C.) and Evelyn Carter (Hooker that could provide evidence Perry killed Michael Fray Salters.) On March 5, 1993, based on Alberto Martinez cooperation the feds brought a 27 count indictment against Perry. The indictment included the murders of 9 people in the furtherance of a Continuing Criminal Enterprise (CCE), racketeering conspiracy, conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine, retaliating against a witness, kidnapping, and robbery. Wayne would be the first person in D.C. to face the death penalty since 1971. Perry negotiated a plea deal without cooperating with the government. Wayne pled to five counts of murder in the furtherance of a Continuing Criminal Enterprise (CCE) for the killings of Domenico Benson, who was shot as he shook Alpo’s hand because he allegedly slapped Alpo’s wife in a previous altercation with her; Evelyn Carter, who was allegedly cooperating with police, she was shot in the head at close range leaving Constitution Hall; Yolanda Burley; Alveta Hopkins; and Garrett “Gary” Terrell. In return for his guilty plea, some of his relatives and friends were not indicted, and others received lesser sentences. Instead of the death penalty, Perry was sentenced to five consecutive life sentences without parole to serve his time in federal prison. Alpo was sentenced to 35 years in prison- under federal witness protection.

Though Alpo was regarded by some as a good dude that faced a sentence few men would eat, the rules are the rules. You don’t rat. Throughout the streets and in hip-hop, Alpo
is largely regarded as the most infamous snitch that the streets have seen, and a snake for murdering his best friend, Rich Porter. Though Alpo isn’t locked down anymore, he’s still not free. He will have to move modestly and keep a low-key profile for the rest of his life when he’s used to being bigger than life, doing what he wants in the world.

America's Most Evil episode featuring Alpo

Pretty good movie.

saw the americas most evil great series and great episode... so he is in witness protection in say "nebraska" wow that is probably going to end up a top flight movie when he sells his story

His stories already been sold, with Paid In Full. And there's the Unauthorized documentary that was made about him. And he was going to get out one day, I just don't understand how the feds can let this scumbag walk all for some equal level dealers and essentially Alpo's hit man. Perry was never really a dealer himself, he simply did Alpo's killing of his rivals and got compensated for it. Alpo had some real good people around him, but he was the model for the saying "aint no friends in this game." Because he backstabbed everyone who helped him out and made him even more rich.

Fuck Alpo, and I sincerely mean that. My dad and my stepdad had a few business dealings with some of the big guys in the boroughs back then and Alpo was one of them. My dad used to buy a brick or two and bring it out to Long Island, Hempstead and Suffolk County. To this very day, some very good friends of my dads are never coming home because of that asshole. And they never murdered or ordered the deaths of anyone. The scum just couldnt take his time like a man and pay for his transgressions against society.

crazy hes released.. talk about a fucking snake.. I mean in the streets if youre involved in that business and you really trust anyone fully you have to be just pain stupid.. he couldn't even do the work himself he got wayne perry to do everything and then dimed him out..anyone know more about wayne? seems like dc breeds some savages.. they all turn muslim once they get locked up too.. dc and philly.
always will think its crazy how the feds will let the biggest guy off once he talks and then continue to destroy a bunch of his underlings lives for doing shit that they ordered..

Fuck him a rat is a rat.

never heard of him

Alpo was scum and had everyone else do his dirty work and had his friend killed, got caught up and ratted out the guy who did all his work in DC

Wayne Perry was the real force

Paid in Full is definitely one of my favorite movies of all time. With that said, Alpo is still a piece of shit rat.

By the way, when Alpo killed Richard Porter, this indirectly led to the murder of a child, his brother, who has been kidnapped by Clarence "Preacher" Heatley's gang: when they read in the papers Porter was dead and therefore nobody would pay the ransom anymore, Heatley ordered the child killed, sick bastard...

What they did to that kid was sick

Was his uncle involved or was that just a hollywood angle?

Yes, he was I think, at least according to this documentary:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdXQBQ9BaDU

there is hes Interview on youtube..hes memory is soo good..

Killers like gravano and alpo dont deserve to be free even if they became witnesses like they did. At least leonetti and even mickey featherstone straightened up their life after getting a second chance. I guarantee alpo will be in trouble within a year

Whatever happened to his even more notorious rival, Purina One?

Another corny troll.

That was the worst attempt at a joke I have ever witnessed

wonder if he'll remain low if he is out or if he'll hit the rap circuit for interviews, party appearances, etc...

i honestly cant see any other way for him to eat unless he does that. a big part of the rap community idolizes this guy, snitch or not. i can see him popping up on IG with a ton of followers in the next year lol

rumor is dame dash threw him a welcome home party but its prob bullshit

he doesnt seem like a sideline type of guy one bit, i bet he'll be doing interviews, hosting mixtapes, maybe even a fashion line down the road. they shoulda given the guy the needle. fuckin snake

alpos been out for years everybody knows was spotted at wizards game and that party wasn't bullshit at all even big meech talked about it in his interview from jail thas y J and dame fell out becuz he threw that fukin party for alpo a serial killer them dudes from harlem should not be havin movies made up about them frank lucas nicky barnes alpo thas sad

Alpo Martinez 14 bodies, Sammy the bull 21 bodies, Leonetti 10(?) All free men and the list goes on and on and on

About Dame Dash.

He executive produced a pretty good documentary about Leroy "Nicky" Barnes...called "Mr Untouchable".


He can generate a LOT of interest in a similar project about Alpo, if he puts it out. Alpo has become sort of street icon and some mainstream fans are somewhat familiar with the name.


The Paid in Full film is based on the book,Game Over, by Azie Faison..aka Ace in the film (Wood Harris' character). The story goes that when Azie saw the final cut of the film....he allegedly ran up in Roc-A-Fella offices with some supergoons to confront Dame about how he altered parts of the end of the story....namely the "positive" spin to Rico's part.

new Azie interview

No way Alpo was selling 30 keys a day . Maybe he did some deals that size but he was nowhere near that level . He was a good sized wholesaler but more like 30 a month , he had a nice Dominican hook . Alpo a rat and that will always be the case uptown , he can't go back there unless it one of those gentrified spots . However although he had Wayne Alpo did do a lot of his own work so he did get dirty . He also bought his fireworks from Harlem wise guys , big customer .

Preacher was the real shit uptown , he one of scariest ever . The mafia cop Epploito was the lead officer assigned to the Porter kid kidnapping by Preacher and Apple

anyone know about this guy. He's was a crack kingpin in brooklyn from late 80s managed to make it till 2002.

B’KLYN KINGPIN’S REIGN OF CARNAGE
By Murray Weiss March 5, 2007 | 10:00am
HE WAS New York’s killing machine.

John “Bloody Hatchet” Hatcher, the brother of a minister, has admitted to involvement in more than 80 shootings – including 30 homicides – while operating a notorious gang that made tens of millions of dollars selling crack, cocaine and marijuana.

During a two-decade reign of terror, Hatcher and his gang, The Rugby Boys, littered the streets in the heart of Brooklyn with victims and bodies, authorities said.

“He was the crack epidemic,” said John Gilbride, special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s New York Office, comparing him to murderers Lorenzo “Fat Cat” Nichols and Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff and infamous Harlem druglord Nicky Barnes.

But unlike the others’ brief reigns as crack and heroin kingpins, Hatcher’s ring flourished like no other, before the DEA finally mounted a six-year operation buying $10 bags of crack that snared him.

Rather than face a possible death-sentence prosecution, Hatcher, 43, spilled his guts.

Veteran federal agents and hardened homicide detectives were left slack-jawed with disbelief as Hatcher methodically detailed a litany of murder and mayhem that took him an astonishing four months to tell.

“There were times when we actually had to stop him and say, ‘That’s enough for today,’ ” DEA Special Agent John Profetti said, recalling a particularly grim session when Hatcher described an assault in which one of his henchmen was stabbed, shot, choked, set on fire and then doused with a pail of urine.

The victim survived, after pretending he was dead, and gave an interview to detectives and Star Jones, the former co-host of ABC’s “The View” who was then a Brooklyn assistant district attorney.

When the man was released from the hospital, Hatcher paid two hit men $5,000 to finish him off.

Hatcher’s brutality and sophisticated criminality belied his upbringing by loving parents who owned a record store in Canarsie and raised three other children, including a minister and a U.S. Naval Academy officer.

But by age 12, Hatcher was showing his propensity for crime, running with a crowd that committed robberies and burglaries and were tied to fearsome Jamaican drug dealers.

His fledgling talents were noticed by a local “Fagin-like” hood, who recruited him.

“It was like Oliver Twist with a gun,” said Daniel Anderson, DEA associate special agent in charge in New York.

Added Profetti, “He was a natural, starting with pick-pocketing and escalating into robberies and burglaries.”

By the end of high school, Hatcher was forming a gang of his own. He recruited kids, dubbed Rugby Boys, who played football and basketball when they were not selling drugs. One fearsome teen, Tyrone Hunter, was made Hatcher’s deputy.

Coupling a businessman’s acumen with an iron fist, Hatcher established control over several key crack dens in Bedford-Stuyvesant and East New York and skillfully built an empire with scores of workers in the heart of the city’s most populated borough.

If a rival tried to poach his territory, someone would be pay. “He shot people just to make a point, leaving them wounded in the stomach and legs,” Profetti said.

Hatcher lived large. He had a spacious apartment in Park Slope, hoards of women, “Superfly” clothes and flashy luxury cars and treated himself and his crew to lavish Caribbean trips.

But in 1991, he was with a couple of his henchmen and mistook undercover cops for rival dealers. One of his crew opened fire, grazing an officer.

Hatcher was the only one caught. He did not rat and spent eight years in prison.

When he was released, he quickly reclaimed his throne.

But two seemingly unrelated criminal matters – a murder in East New York and a credit-card scam in Alabama – ultimately toppled his empire.

On Jan. 27, 2000, a city bus driver made the mistake of being a go-between in a Colombian heroin deal with Hatcher, who shot and killed him and stole his drugs.

Rugby Boy Charles Thomas was identified as a suspect.

Seven months later, in Alabama, Thomas’ nickname, “Boo,” and his Brooklyn phone number showed up on a piece of paper linked to a ring ordering hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of merchandise from Home Depot.

The DEA joined U.S. Postal Inspector James Buthorn and NYPD detectives in early 2001 and starting with $10-bag buys, launched their probe that snared a “weak-link” lieutenant in Hatcher’s operation. Fearing “Bloody Hatchet,” the lieutenant cooperated, and Hatcher finally was scooped up in a massive roundup May 13, 2002.

Hatcher started spilling the beans, saying, “I am not going to do any one else’s time. They will do their own,” referring to his eight-year stint in prison over the cop-wounding case.

With a treasure-trove of cases to cherry-pick from involving Hatcher – some which had already been attributed to others by the NYPD – Assistant Brooklyn U.S. Attorneys Christina Dugger and Scott Morvillo and the federal agents zeroed in on five killings.

“It took six years to peel back layer after layer to unveil these horrific crimes,” Gilbride said.

Investigators dug up old witnesses and other evidence they used during a three-week trial that ended last month with the racketeering and murder conviction of the final bosses of Hatcher’s gang: Hunter and Adrian Payne.

Hatcher, who testified for two days, is being held in federal prison and, along with Hunter and Payne, is awaiting sentencing in May. He is expected to receive what amounts to a life sentence.

Worst rat ever, but black rats sure do get way worse deal then italian ones, i think nicky barnes did 35 years too, but Joe Massino flips and gets time served, fucking horrible.
