against him because as a black

can return to normal
But he's not worried because he's got
celebrities and sports figures that will refute
all claims against him. Afterall, he's been
good to Harlem and he's confident Harlem will
be good to him.
But he ultimately agrees to snitch on dirty
police officers. It is called the largest police
scandal with over 32 officers federally indicted
on bribery charges.

boss in Harlem during the late 1960s and
