| who was big meech right hand man: BMF Mara Shalhoup, 2010-02-27 In the early 1990s, Demetrius Big Meech Flenory and his brother, Terry Southwest T, rose up from the slums of Detroit to build one of the largest cocaine empires in American history: the Black Mafia Family. After a decade in the drug game, the Flenorys had it all—a fleet of Maybachs, Bentleys and Ferraris, a 500-man workforce operating in six states, and an estimated quarter of a billion in drug sales. They socialized with music mogul Sean Diddy Combs, did business with New York's king of bling Jacob The Jeweler Arabo, and built allegiances with rap superstars Young Jeezy and Fabolous. Yet even as BMF was attracting celebrity attention, its crew members created a cult of violence that struck fear in a city and threatened to spill beyond the boundaries of the drug underworld. Ruthlessness fueled BMF's rise to incredible power; greed and that same ruthlessness led to their downfall. When the brothers began clashing in 2003, the flashy and beloved Big Meech risked it all on a shot at legitimacy in the music industry. At the same time, a team of investigators who had pursued BMF for years began to prey on the organization's weaknesses. Utilizing a high-stakes wiretap operation, the feds inched toward their goal of destroying the Flenory's empire and ending the reign of a crew suspected in the sale of thousands of kilos of cocaine — and a half-dozen unsolved murders. |
| who was big meech right hand man: Scumbags John W Buttner, 2022-05-04 Scumbags is a crime thriller and drama with an underlying romantic subplot about four teenagers in a small working-class city where only the strongest, smartest, and sometimes dirtiest survive. Two of the four boys are brothers, while all four of them have suffered less-than-ideal circumstances on the home front. The four Scumbags, as they come to be called, do any and everything necessary to survive. One night, the four lifelong friends attempt to carjack a drunken stranger to help advance their small-time marijuana business. When the stranger decides to try his luck, he is accidentally shot. The boys flee in the stolen car but end up in a terrible car accident, where the driver, who happened to have planned the crime himself, ends up stuck in the wreckage. He tells the others to run and to save themselves, as the police sirens in the distance are rapidly approaching. They reluctantly do as he wishes and leave him to the police. He is sentenced to four years for aggravated assault and grand theft auto. In his absence, the remaining Scumbags take their criminal activities to the next level, swapping out their marijuana for heroin. They also involve themselves in a kidnapping and extortion ring, where they target rich and powerful men with dirty and dark secrets. They use the secrets, along with the kidnapping of their target's child or children, to extort large sums of money and make sure they stay silent. Once their fourth member is released at the age of eighteen, he is quickly thrown into the fire with both of their new business dealings. They pick a rich and powerful man for their last target. By then, they'll have earned enough money to gracefully bow out of the streets for good and turn to legitimate ways of earning income. Their target has other plans than to concede to them and has his men prepare for war, while the leader of the Scumbags unwillingly falls in love with their target's daughter, who happens to be their hostage. The two form a bond that is undeniable and causes them to question everything they know about themselves. The drama reaches its boiling point during the hostage and money exchanges when an old jailhouse beef resurfaces and causes the death toll the quickly rise. In the end, there are only two survivors. The two young lovebirds must quickly decide what they will choose to do with their suddenly at-risk lives. Do they part ways and listen to their brains, or do they run off together, following their hearts to wherever that may take them? There is a sequel to Scumbags, titled Scumbags 2 LIAR (Loyalty Isn't Always Real) that I have written, and it needs only to be edited for the final draft if there should be interest in one. |

| who was big meech right hand man: Pastor Needs a Boo Michele Andrea Bowen, 2014-07-08 Michele Andrea Bowen made a name for herself years ago during the African-American inspirational fiction craze. Now, in Pastor Needs a Boo, she's back with an amazing journey of faith, drama, and love. It was a regular New Jerusalem Gospel United Church work day for Reverend Denzelle Flowers when Veronica Washington, Keisha Jackson, and Marsha Metcalf showed up after losing their jobs on the same day, same morning, and almost at the same time. Denzelle struggled to solve that first problem. The other problem—the lovely Marsha—would be much harder to solve. Denzelle didn't even know how to fight wanting to turn in the playah's card and getting booed up with the poster girl for church girls. Marsha Metcalf and her fellow unemployed church members aren't Denzelle's biggest problem, though. He is running for bishop, and his enemies—a more ruthless consortium of corrupted clergy—want power badly enough to go to rather extreme lengths for it because the stakes are just that high. Now, his ex-wife was back and sleeping with the enemy, digging for dirt. Reverend Denzelle can't fight this battle alone. This pastor needs a ‘boo' who will stand by his side. Before the dust settles, both Marsha and Denzelle's faith and love will be put to the ultimate test. |

The tide has turned in a centuries’ long war, and the Intergalactic Military has been tapped to step in and lend a hand. Sent to assist the Bo’Estrons, Captain Jelia Linh and her crew find themselves under immediate attack and in a fight for their own lives. The rescue goes wrong, and ironically Kaxx must save the ones sent to aid them, but he isn’t expecting the feelings the female captain invokes. The tingling sensation he gets when he touches her. It couldn’t be…could it? He’d missed his chance long ago. The mission to help find the missing crewmembers is proving futile, as they’re all being picked off one bunker at a time. The battle is heating up, and it’s no longer about protecting their own. The Bo’Estron are fighting back, but with the Varnarians teaming up with the Hojinths, do they stand a chance? War. Betrayal. Enemies. Allies. Saviors. Mates. Torn between duty and love, two become one. |
