Information:
The Council was an African-American organized crime syndicate in New York City that controlled the heroin trade in the Harlem area of the city during the 1970s. Formed by Nicky Barnes in 1972, the seven-man organization ran the heroin trade in Harlem, handled local criminal disputes, and solved other issues related to the drug trade. The Council was heavily connected to the Italian-American Mafia in New York City, where Matthew Madonna of the Lucchese crime family supplied the group with raw heroin, which was then diluted and distributed in Harlem. At its peak, Council-manufactured heroin began to be distributed across New York State, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, as far west as Arizona, and even into Canada.
The Downfall:
Little did they know, by the time they made these steps, their journey was near its end. The leader, Nicky Barnes was imprisoned in 1978, and faced the consequences of life in prison. However, this isn’t what led to the downfall of the syndicate. When Nicky Barnes was facing life in prison he turned, and became fed. Nicky let out all of the ins and outs of The Council, leading to all 6 other members getting arrested and their time coming to an end
Current Day:
However, The Council has been picked back up and revived by two very good friends: Jamal “Mez” Gomez, and Durk “Chopper” Li. These two met at the age of 6, and 14 at daycare and had been best friends ever since. Mez and Chopper both grew up in very poor, and dangerous situations. And this caused them to fall in love with money, because they never had it. And this is what brought them into creating The Council today. The two plan to bring “their family,” (the other members of the syndicate) to the top of East Brickton’s faction scene, and will do anything to get there, and most importantly fulfill the one dream they have always had: Claim all of the money they never got to have as a child.
Current information:
There is now over 10 members and they have accumulated a current worth of over $270,000 that will continue to go up.
