His Best Friend Slept With His Woman, So He Destroyed 109 People From Prison: Kingpin Nicky Barnes

In 1977, Nicky Barnes was the biggest drug lord in Harlem. They called him Mr. Untouchable. Then his best friend Guy Fisher slept with his woman while he sat in prison. Barnes' response? He gave the feds 109 names. His wife. His mistress. His brothers. Everyone. This is the true story of how betrayal created the deadliest snitch in New York history—and how the man he destroyed outlived him.

I’d say Barnes won. I’d rather be a Walmart worker for the rest of my life than be in jail for the rest of my life.

I have a huge amount of respect for men that realize the value in education. It changes more than your own mind, it elevates others.

Guy Fisher was stupid!! You don't betray your friend and/or anyone who has that much dirt on you!

The Council were a bunch of smooth-brained idiots. Nicky told, but they handed him license to tell. There was a social contract and they broke it. As stated, the Council had specific rules against knowingly messing with another member's wife or woman. So, they allowed Fisher to break the rule about messing with another member's woman, stopped paying Nick's attorney fees while his lawyers were appealing the sentence, and refused to carry out the agreed upon retribution against Fisher. They broke faith with Nick in every way possible... and they expected HIM to hold faith with THEM?! And not only were they a bunch of SNAKES but they were STUPID SNAKES at that. Let's set aside the idea of holding to your word and adhering to the Council's social contract. This man knew where all the bodies were buried. He knew the ins and outs of your operation. Even a complete snake with HALF a brain would realize that this is not someone that you want to throw under the bus because law enforcement would LOVE to get him to flip. And that's exactly what happened.

Ain’t no loyalty among nobody in the game. Never has been it’s a lie and a delusion. Excellent work and research. I’m shocked at what happened to Thelma concening the relationship with her daughters. Did not know Shamecca had a sibling and they suffered the same fate.

I think American Gangster exaggerated Frank Lucas’ story…..in reality he was a mid level dealer who moved weight for Ike Atkinson…also, he really wasn’t as close to Bumpy Johnson as the film alleges…. but he was so good at promoting himself and his story..Hollywood producers ran with it…Nicky Barnes had the actual power and juice that American Gangster tried to portray Frank Lucas as having…
