Frank Lucas, the drug lord who inspired

The gangster that inspired Ridley Scott claimed to earn $ 1 million a day in his day.
Former American drug baron Frank Lucas, who is the main character of the film "American Gangster", died on Thursday, May 30, at the age of 88, said his nephew on his Facebook page.
Aldwan Lassiter told the Rolling Stone magazine website that his uncle had died of "natural death", without further details.
Raised in North Carolina and 16 years old in Harlem, Frank Lucas was one of the great heroin purveyors of New York's famous black-box district and also Newark, New Jersey's main city, between the late 1960s and 1975.
