Nah. 4 years in the can before he opened his mouth. That’s not a person who’s main objective is to rat. Rats already have tht in their heads when being interrogated with evidence of their guilt infront of them.
@@brianmcghee3597 exactly what I'm sayin...he was told that he wasn't gonna get a deal out of it but he didn't care. He still didn't technically get out until 1998.
@@CvilleCeltics40 but to flood his own neighborhood with it. Least the Italians kept it out of their neighbourhoods. People like Barnes and Lucas had no morals. So long as they made money.
It's way more than just that. His boys pretty much sold him out which is why he was the only person arrested and convicted. Nobody arrest the main guy and the rest don't
@@melvynsngltn27 no he bought the police to his door step you don't show off like that if your a major drug dealer when he pose on the front cover of the New York times even the president at the time Jimmy Carter to the feds go get his ass his boys should have took him out for bringing on all that heat. he was basically telling the police I am untouchable
The difference between Guy Fisher and Nicky Barnes Guy Fisher he earned his way out of prison Nicky Barnes snitched on everybody that's how he got out out of jail and that's the big difference
Frank Matthews is my nextdoor neighbor. He seen how much I loved gangster movies and had connected family and admitted who he was. Showed me military paperwork to prove it. He's just a nice elderly man at this point.
Great Video MobFax ! I Love IT to See the old streets of America . But , please Tell me, why i See Always Rudy G. In the Videos !?! 😉😂 Support from HAMBURG Germany Dragi
Rudy Gilliani was the prosecutor at the time in NYC!!!! He put a lot of mobsters and drug dealers in jail. He was the first one to affectively use the “RICO ACT” (Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organization) on the Mafia Commission.
He should've put that money into real estate, stashed it somewhere instead of buying fancy jewelry, cars and clothes. And taunting feds with an "untouchable" or "teflon" moniker is never the right thing, because they won't rest until they have you. Gotti was called Teflon but in 1992 it came to an end for him.
You really think Nicky Barnes didn't have property & real estate? It was more than just fancy cars and mink coats. The media called him "Mr untouchable". Which was really just a dog whistle, to the feds, to lock his black ass up. They forced him to pose for that picture, they threatned to use one of his "scary" mug shots as an alternative, so he posed. His Reign was short, how long did the FBI allow the Italian mob to reign, decades. The last thing they wanted was a multi-millionaire, possibly black billionaire. Because money is power. You can maneuver much easier, in a racist Society, even if you're black. Money Talks.
But what came right after him in harlem? Rich porter, Preacher, Az, Alpo, Kevin childs, etc etc etc. All mentioned continued to destroy harlem throughout the 80s 90s until the REAL gangstas came. White people...to gentrfiy it
@@mtigre001 it’s happened before. Famous case where a would be snitch was about to testify against boss Albert Anastasia but the night before the trial he threw himself/was thrown from a hotel window despite being under heavy FBI protection
@@DonFelixGallardo that was ages ago- It wasn't FBI protection,NYPD cops who were on the "payroll" were in the hotel room. Witness protection was also in it's infancy. No comparison
Don't know shit...Guy Fisher and Frank James were supposed to hold him and the organization down while he was in prison. Guy started fuckin his side piece and some dude name Tito started fuckin his wife and boasting about it. He told Frank James to put them in the dirt but he didn't, they tried to play him and turned their backs on him. He did 6 years before he realized that his friends stabbed him in the back.
THANK YOU! I've been looking for this clip of Herbie for years... Do you happen to have the clip of him mopping, and what he says about Nicky the rat? Lmao
I respect that Herby Sperling guy. I know selling narcotics without a license is illegal. But, Mr. Sperling carried himself like a man. Isn’t that good leadership for an American? I think so.🇺🇸
Nicky Barnes, frank Lucas, and all the old dudes like that really could've been CEO business men, drugs were just there only option back then to get rich. We have more opportunities now, but I still don't think it's equal opportunities, but more than then
This is funny the Italians that rated on each other he used the word cooperated with the law, but with Nikki called him a rat if that's not bias and racist SMH
Idc Frank Matthews was the greatest to ever do it. He did what he did but he didn't turn on anyone or try and justify by turning on people. Nicky Barnes deserves to rot in jail for what he did to his community and the people he crossed.
Mike Wallace is FOS. WHAT ‘organization’ did Barnes lead?!? He wasn’t trafficking the drugs across U.S. borders. He was the ‘boss’ of selling drugs within Black neighborhoods. Whoop. Dee. Damn. Doo.
My body belongs to me and me alone, I am not a slave and the government has no business telling me what I can and can't put in it! Nicky Barnes provided a commodity that adults have every right to consume. In my mind he did nothing wrong!
Your right. It’s sad when MF’s get turned out but they had a choice. No one put a pistol to their heads and said smoke this, inject this, etc. Grow up and take responsibility for your actions. It was a commodity that they wanted to enjoy.
@Jolene Simon people like you that favor drug prohibition are directly responsible for the rash of overdoses plaguing America today! If drugs were legal and taxed and regulated, there wouldn't be people overdosing on fentanol. Which unscrupulous dealers use to increase the potency of there product. The same way unscrupulous bootleggers used formaldehyde to increase their profits. And you call me ignorant. Educate yourself before you open your mouth!
