  • CORRUPTED ORGANISED CRIME ENTERPRISES the Fictional Gangs
    CORRUPTED ORGANISED CRIME ENTERPRISES The fictional gangs and criminal enterprises in Detroit are as follows: •MCB’S (Motor City Boyz) •The Detroit Mafia Partnership •Death’s Disciples Motorcycle Club •Chaldean Mafia •Fragmented Gangs MCB’S: MCB’S are similar to the real life BMF’S (Black Mafia Family). They are the largest and most organized criminal enterprise in Detroit. They control the flow of cocaine in the city, distribute marijuana, and own a Hip-Hop label. They are comprised of roughly 300 members. ______________________________________________________ The Black Mafia Family (BMF) is a drug trafficking organization originally based in Detroit, Michigan, which was founded in the late 1980s by brothers Demetrius and Terry Flenory. By the year 2000, they had established cocaine distribution cells in cities throughout the United States. Through their Los Angeles-based drug source, they had direct links to Mexican-based drug cartels.[1] They established two main hubs for their operation: the Atlanta, Georgia hub, for distribution, was operated by older brother Demetrius, while the Los Angeles, California hub was operated by Terry to handle incoming shipments from Mexico. Around 2000, the organization tried to legitimize itself by entering the hip-hop music business, starting a company called BMF Entertainment. Through BMF Entertainment, it helped promote a number of artists, including Young Jeezy, as well as BMF Entertainment's sole artist, Bleu DaVinci. Before their entrance into the music business, the Flenory Brothers were known to associate with a number of high-profile hip-hop artists, including Jay- Z and Fabolous. In 2005, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) indicted members of the Black Mafia Family, ultimately securing convictions by targeting the Flenory brothers under the Continuing Criminal Enterprise Statute.

  • GANGS and DOGS AS WEAPONS by Claudine Wilkins and Jessica Rock, Founders of Animal Law Source™
    GANGS AND DOGS AS WEAPONS By Claudine Wilkins and Jessica Rock, Founders of Animal Law Source™ BACKGROUND The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) defines gangs as “organized groups of three or more people with a collective identity surrounding criminal activity.” The FBI reports that in the U.S., there are more than 33,000 gangs with approximately 1.4 million active prison, street, and outlaw motorcycle gang members. Local urban street gangs are involved in a host of violent criminal activities, including assault, drug trafficking, extortion, firearms offenses, home invasion robberies, homicide, intimidation, shootings, and weapons trafficking. FBI data suggests that gang recruitment is at an all- time high with more than one million gang members in the United States under the age of 18. Gangs are especially problematic and dangerous for these young members who are at risk of experiencing physical violence, incarceration, substance abuse, unemployment and death. According to the National Gang Intelligence Center (NGIC, 2011), gangs also have dangerous effects on communities, with as much as 90% of the violent crimes in major U.S. cities attributed to gang involvement. Gangs are becoming increasingly adaptable and sophisticated, engaging in non- traditional gang-related crime, such as alien smuggling, human trafficking, prostitution, and white- collar crimes including counterfeiting, identity theft, money laundering and mortgage fraud. These activities provide high profitability with a much lower risk of detection, and less risk of punishment than drug and weapons trafficking. New technology allows criminal gang operations to connect discretely with other gang members, criminal organizations, and potential recruits nationwide and even worldwide.

  • United States District Court Eastern District of Michigan Southern Division
    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, Case Number 05-80955 v. Honorable David M. Lawson DEMETRIOUS FLENORY, Defendant. ________________________________/ OPINION AND ORDER DENYING WITHOUT PREJUDICE MOTION FOR RESENTECING, RELEASE, OR RECOMMENDATION In 2008, defendant Demetrious Flenory was sentenced to 30 years in prison for maintaining a continuing criminal enterprise and money laundering. Together with his brother Terry, Flenory led an extensive drug trafficking organization known as the Black Mafia Family (BMF). The brothers each pleaded guilty and received identical sentences. The Bureau of Prisons recently released Terry to home confinement following the guidance issued by the Attorney General under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, 18 U.S.C. 12003(b)(2). Demetrious submitted a request to the BOP for the same treatment about 2.5 weeks ago but has had no response. He now moves for judicial relief. The applicable statute requires prisoners seeking such relief to start by asking the BOP; judicial review only follows a denial or a non- response after 30 days. Although that administrative exhaustion requirement may be waived in rare instances, Flenory has not made a convincing case that this is one of them. Therefore, the Court will deny the motion without prejudice to Flenory renewing it if the BOP does not allow his request for release. I. On October 28, 2005, Flenory and 41 others were charged in an indictment with drug related offenses related to the BMF organization. Flenory and his brother, Terry Flenory, were the leaders of the BMF.

  • ABSTRACT TRUE CRIME DOES PAY: NARRATIVES of WRONGDOING in FILM and LITERATURE Andrew Burt, Ph.D. Department of English Norther
    ABSTRACT TRUE CRIME DOES PAY: NARRATIVES OF WRONGDOING IN FILM AND LITERATURE Andrew Burt, Ph.D. Department of English Northern Illinois University, 2017 Scott Balcerzak, Director This dissertation examines true crime’s ubiquitous influence on literature, film, and culture. It dissects how true-crime narratives affect crime fiction and film, questioning how America’s continual obsession with crime underscores the interplay between true crime narratives and their fictional equivalents. Throughout the 20th century, these stories represent key political and social undercurrents such as movements in religious conservatism, issues of ethnic and racial identity, and developing discourses of psychology. While generally underexplored in discussions of true crime and crime fiction, these currents show consistent shifts from a liberal rehabilitative to a conservative punitive form of crime prevention and provide a new way to consider these undercurrents as culturally-engaged genre directives. I track these histories through representative, seminal texts, such as Theodore Dreiser’s An American Tragedy (1925), W.R. Burnett’s Little Caesar (1929, Jim Thompson’s The Killer Inside Me (1952), and Barry Michael Cooper’s 1980s new journalism pieces on the crack epidemic and early hip hop for the Village Voice, examining how basic crime narratives develop through cultural changes. In turn, this dissertation examines film adaptations of these narratives as well, including George Stevens’ A Place in the Sun (1951), Larry Cohen’s Black Caesar (1972), Michael Winterbottom’s The Killer Inside Me (2010), and Mario Van Peeble’s New Jack City (1991), accounting for how the medium changes the crime narrative. In doing so, I examine true crime’s enduring resonance on crime narratives by charting the influence of commonly overlooked early narratives, such as execution sermons and murder ballads.
