NEW YORK — Frank Lucas, the former Harlem drug kingpin whose life and lore inspired the 2007 movie"American Gangster," has died, a relative said Friday.
He said it netted him millions, and authorities seized over $500,000 in cash when they raided his house in Teaneck, New Jersey, in 1975. He was convicted and sentenced to decades in prison, but he turned informant and was released after about five years. Lucas was a fixture on the film set, giving Washington advice on such details as how he carried his gun.
