Video: American Gangster: Guy Fisher
Guy Thomas Fisher (born 1947) is a convicted racketeer who was once part of The Council, a notorious African-American crime organization that controlled the heroin trade in Harlem from 1972-1983. He became the first black man to own and operate the Apollo Theater in Harlem when he purchased it in 1977.[1] Fisher is currently serving a life sentence in Allenwood Federal Correctional Center.
In 1984, Fisher was convicted of multiple counts of RICO violations, including continuing criminal conspiracy, drug trafficking, and murder, and was sentenced to life in prison without eligibility for parole.[1] Fisher’s conviction was facilitated by the testimony of his former mentor, associate, and rival, Leroy “Nicky” Barnes. In 1978, Barnes was tried and convicted on multiple racketeering counts and sentenced to life without eligibility for parole. (The prosecutor in the case was Rudolph Giuliani, who would later become mayor of New York City.)
Eleven months after his incarceration, Barnes telephoned Federal prosecutors indicating that he would agree to become a government informant in their case against Fisher and others. Barnes claims that he decided to testify because Fisher was having an affair with his mistress. In exchange for his information, Barnes was released into the federal Witness Protection Program. Unlike other convicted racketeers Leroy “Nicky” Barnes and Frank Lucas, Fisher did not become an informant.”
Women are the root of all evil. Aint no motherfucking bitch worth it, period. You would think Nicky & Guy were bigger than that.
i have found that in the rise and fall of many great men, a common factor, WEAKNESS… Either it is their ego, false pride, or jealousy as in this case. One may blame the woman but thats a mistake, for it not for the weakness of this man, (tipical male insecurity) the relations of this woman or anyone else for that matter, it wouldn’t be issue.
