He made a lot of this up
Frank Lucas said he was taking in $1 million a day selling heroin in Harlem. In 1975 agents raided his house in New Jersey and found more than $584,000 in cash.
At the peak, by his own account, he had $52 million stashed in Cayman Islands banks and $300 million in stockpiled heroin. He owned office buildings in Detroit and a cattle ranch in North Carolina.
He said he bribed personnel in Vietnam to set up a heroin connection. He hobnobbed with Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, James Brown and Diana Ross, and spent lavishly on cars, clothing, jewelry and entertainment.
The raid on his house in Teaneck ended it. He was convicted and sentenced to 70 years in prison.
Then he turned informant, and he was released in 1982, after seven years. In 2007 Denzel Washington played him in "American Gangster."
In the video below, Lucas talks about what was taken from him: "Two million dollars a month for me. Sometimes two million dollars a week." Then he says: "I got 70 years."
He died in New Jersey in 2019, at 88.
$1 million a day and out in seven years: a deal or a joke?

A guy who used to sleep in his car in a Chicago alley, strung out on heroin, made his first movie a few blocks from that same alley. The movie was The Dark Knight, and he played the Joker's henchman, standing a few feet from Heath Ledger.
He only got the part because Christopher Nolan rejected him first.
Dastmalchian was doing small theater gigs around Chicago and paying rent as a telemarketer and a movie theater usher when the casting call went out. He read for one of the guys in clown masks who rob the bank in the opening scene. He was pretty sure he'd booked it. A week later he found out they'd already shot it without him.
A few months after that, his phone rang with a completely different role. Thomas Schiff, the paranoid schizophrenic who hides in the police honor guard at the commissioner's funeral with the Joker. That's who you're looking at in the photo. It was the first movie set he'd ever walked onto, and on his last day of the shoot he walked past the alley where he used to sleep, five years after he got clean.
The movie made a billion dollars and he still couldn't find an agent. He moved to LA with The Dark Knight on his résumé, and the small agencies and management companies he went to turned him down anyway.
So he wrote about the car. Animals is about two heroin addicts living in a beat-up car by the Lincoln Park Zoo, and he cast himself as the guy he used to be. It won a special jury award at SXSW in 2014 for courage in storytelling, and his son was born about a month later.
Denis Villeneuve kept hiring him, for Prisoners, Blade Runner 2049 and Dune, and one of the first things Denis asked him was what working with Nolan was like. Fifteen years after The Dark Knight, Nolan brought him back for Oppenheimer and wanted to know what working with Denis was like.
Nine days ago he opened as M. Bison in Street Fighter, the main villain of a big Paramount release, playing the part Raul Julia made famous.
If Nolan had said yes the first time, he'd have made his movie debut as a dead guy in a clown mask.
David Dastmalchian once revealed he had never acted in a film before Christopher Nolan put him on set with Heath Ledger for 'THE DARK KNIGHT' (2008).
It was his first film role, and suddenly he was surrounded by Heath Ledger, Christian Bale, and Gary Oldman—some of the most accomplished actors in the industry.
You might imagine a first-time actor feeling intimidated, wondering whether he belonged there or desperately trying not to make a mistake. But Dastmalchian discovered something important about Nolan.
Despite being one of the least experienced actors on set, Nolan made him feel “valued, validated” and treated his voice as an actor as something they could explore together.
Dastmalchian also pushed back against the urban legends surrounding Ledger's Joker performance.
“Contrary to the urban legends that surrounded Heath's performance as the Joker, when he was on set he wasn't twisting himself into knots with some kind of maniacal method-acting bologna.”
Intimidation can make you focus on yourself instead of the scene. Am I good enough? What does the director think? What does the other actor think? Suddenly, you're watching yourself perform instead of actually living the moment. The bigger the opportunity feels, the more you need to focus on what's happening right in front of you.
Years later, Nolan cast Dastmalchian again in 'OPPENHEIMER'. By then, he'd worked with filmmakers like Denis Villeneuve and James Gunn. But the experience of making 'THE DARK KNIGHT' meant even more because Dastmalchian had previously struggled with homelessness and heroin addiction. Filming took place just two blocks from an alley where he had once slept in his car. The film “didn't just revive his career, \[it\] gave him back his future.”
The biggest opportunities don't require a different kind of acting. They require you to trust the work you've already done.
