1-2 tonnes a week is like 5 billion bucks a year :jbhmm:



Why do people always talk about the CIA like it's 1 boogie man :mjlol: , it's a decentralized "need to know basis" type of organization.

The people doing dirty stuff with the Nicaraguans were probably like 3 guys out of their 20-30k employees, and if true it was so dirty that it probably never reached any higher ups.
The director of the cia literally admitted it

Black folks aren't praising the CIA though.

Stop putting criminals on a pedestal and making excuses for them. Black folks wrecking the black community is c00n behavior no matter which way you try to spin it
Americans period praises criminals stop making it a black thing

Not referencing everyone else. That does us no good putting it on a pedestal. Most of us are regular people trying to get by but look how prevalent the thug/hood/street image is and how "being black" is equated to those negativities.

I hate witnessing the gun culture that came out of the crack era. To witness the genocide and how it changed not only the users, but everyone around it. These figures helped ruin cities with the help of a government looking to fund an illegal war.

I mean there’s 9-5 nggas who are making millions off nonsense. If there’s anyone with a legit story to tell and could cakw up its Rayful Edmond.

Like man idk how big he was to non DMV folk but man just typing that name in 2024 is insane. To me he was bigger than Alpo, Rich, Nicki Barnes, etc bc NY had multiple hustlers of note across Burroughs and across decades. DC had ONE. Basically ever. Rayful Edmunds

He was a bigger kingpin then all of them

But they are more memorable because they were immortalized in songs by Nas, Jay, 50, Dipset etc

Nobody really cares about DC like they do NY

Rayful Edmond III, the notorious figure once known as the “king of crack” in Washington, D.C., has been released from prison. A video circulating on social media shows Edmond declaring, “Back better than ever,” marking a new chapter for the man who once led one of the largest drug operations in U.S. history.

During the 1980s, Edmond was a key player in the crack cocaine epidemic that swept through the nation’s capital, transforming it into what was infamously dubbed the “murder capital of the United States.” His operation, in partnership with the Medellín Cartel through the Trujillo-Blanco brothers, was said to have moved between 1,000 and 2,000 kilos of cocaine weekly in 1992. This enormous influx of drugs significantly fueled the city’s crime rate, leaving a lasting impact on the community.



Rayful Edmond’s release has sparked mixed reactions. As the former drug lord steps back into the public eye, many are left wondering about the implications of his statement and what “better than ever” might mean for the city he once dominated.



He was arrested at 24 years old and was in jail for 35 years. He was in jail 11 years more then he was in the real world.
