  • 81 Year Old “American Gangster” Frank Lucas Faces Jail Time Yet Again…

    Dec, 15 2011 | Written by ATLien

    Frank Lucas, the Harlem drug kingpin made famous by Denzel Washington‘s portrayal of him in the 2007 movie “American Gangster,” is in trouble with the feds yet again!

    This time, the 81 year old “gangster,” who once ran a billion-dollar business smuggling heroin before going straight, faces possible jail time after defrauding the U.S. government out of $17,300.

    It was just a little over a year ago that Lucas’ ex-wife, 70 year old Julianna Farrait, was busted selling cocaine in Puerto Rico, claiming she missed the fast pace, high-life of the drug world.

    I guess you’re never too old to commit federal crimes huh?

    Details about Lucas’ newest federal case below…According to the NYDailyNews, Lucas, now 81 and ailing, was charged with theft by deception after he allegedly told the U.S. Treasury he lost his 15 year old son’s Social Security check and asked for a duplicate.

    Lucas then cashed both the original and replacement checks in Newark, prosecutors said.

    Lucas has denied any wrong-doing and has reportedly been attempting to work out a deal to avoid jail time.

    All I wanna know is this… how old is too old to be committing crimes? Come get yo grandaddy…

    Props to @SilentButSmart for the tip! :-)

      If Frank is really the biological dad, I imagine the kid may have some type of birth defects or may have down syndrome. Anything is possible when the father is 66 at the time of conception. SMH
