Frank Lucas was the the savior Harlem. He was also one of the biggest dope dealers of all time. This polite and respectful business man ran an drug empire with his family that was famous for murder, extortion, bribery and most important drug trafficking. Before all this came together he would hold himself in hotel rooms for months doing what he called ''Backtracking'', which was the process of him planning out everything to the details detail. He wanted to mentally walk through every single scenario.
He was very confident in himself that he would make it big in the drug world, but first he had to cut out the middle man which was the Italian mafia for the product he was selling, which at this time was heroin and crack. So he flew to Thailand to find another connect. So when he got to Thailand he want to a bar that was friendly to African American soldiers. He meet the bartender there that ironically was married to his cousin. So the bartender took him to a connect many many miles into the forest to a farmer that had acers of poppy seed plants. So instead of paying $50,000 for 1 kilo of heroin from the mafia, he was paying $4,200 from his source in Thailand. The way he would get the product back was even more messed up. He would get specially made coffins with false bottoms and put the prodect in the floor put the floor back on the they would put a dead soldier in it.
