Black Kingpins Who Made Millions And Never Got Caught
Nineteen forty six. Chicago, Illinois.
A Black man is being dragged out of his South Side home by four white gangsters in broad daylight.
They throw him in the back of a Lincoln. They hold him for a week.
His family pays one hundred thousand dollars in ransom to get him back alive.
Now stop.
Most stories about Black crime figures end here. The kidnapping. The federal indictment. The decades in a federal prison cell.
This one doesn't.
Because one week later, that man walks into a meeting with the Italian Mafia.
He tells them he is retiring.
He tells them he is moving to Mexico.
And he tells them they are going to pay him two hundred thousand dollars a year. For the rest of his life. To stay gone.
The Italian Mafia agreed to his terms.
His name was Edward Jones.
And he is one of six men on this list. ———————————————
