Didn't Frank Lucas cooperate with law enforcement against his Mafia associates?Amershire_Ed wrote: ↑Tue Oct 25, 2022 8:02 pm Bumpy’s family members were pretty outspoken about Frank Lucas and the American Gangster story. Lucas kinda combined three stories (Bumpy, Frank Matthews, Ike Atkinson) and made it his own. I think the only reason they never sued him is because he was perpetually broke. He got caught at one point stealing his own sons social security. Even with the American Gangster check he was a brokester.

Re: Bumpy Johnson
Found something merely coincidental, it's a 1947 boxing results article were Bumpy Johnson's future bodyguard/driver Fred "Flash" Walker was on the same card as Vincent Gigante's brother Ralph. Just goes to show how small the world is I guess. The funny is , I wasn't even looking for Gigante.
