Frank Matthews: The Black Mafia Kingpin Who Vanished & beat the Federal Government

Frank Matthews built a coast-to-coast heroin network in the late 1960s/early ’70s—bigger than Frank Lucas, with French Connection ties and million-dollar cash stacks—then vanished in 1973 while facing a potential life sentence. Agents, rivals, and insiders say he could’ve “ruled the United States.” This episode tracks his meteoric rise, his war with the mob, the Ponderosa cutting mill, Vegas money-washing, the Atlanta summit of Black and Latino distributors—and the manhunt that never found him.
