Who is Freeway Ricky Ross?
For those of you not in the know, Freeway Rick Ross was one of the most notorious drug runners of the 20th century, setting up a nationwide empire based in Los Angeles at the height of the nation’s crack epidemic in the ‘80s.
He was a straight up Kingpin controlling thousands of employees and earned more than $600 million before getting convicted in 1996 for selling cocaine to a police informant. He was released in 2009 and toured the US detailing his drug dealing days, and told his story in the 2014 memoir “Freeway Rick Ross: The Untold Autobiography” and the 2015 documentary “Freeway: Crack in the System.”
There is an investigation underway currently to see if Ross is back to business in NoCal?
