Frank started out his career as chauffeur for old-time, big-time Harlem crime boss Bumpy Johnson. After Bumpy passed away in ‘68, Frank took the helm, and expanded the enterprise to a whole ‘nother level.
Originally sentenced in 1975 to 70 years in the slam for his drug dealings, later he turned rat and was released in 1981.
