THE ORIGINAL RICKY "FREEWAY" ROSS--- Can't be Duplicated or Infratrated!


"Freeway" Ricky Ross was known for the "drug empire that he presided over in Los Angeles in the early and mid-1980s. The nickname "Freeway" came from Ross owning several properties along the Harbor Freeway. During the height of his drug dealing, Ross claims to have made "3 million dollars a day". In 1996, Ross was sentenced to life imprisonment after being convicted of trying to purchase more than 100 kilograms of cocaine from a federal agent. Ross became the subject of controversy later that year when a series of articles by journalist Gary Webb in the San Jose Mercury News brought to light a connection between one of Ross's cocaine sources, Danilo Blandon, and the CIA as part of the Iran-Contra scandal. The decision in Ross's case was brought to a federal court of appeals where his sentence was reduced to 20 years.

Ricky will be released to the half-way house within the next six weeks. Armed with a new lease on life and a positive mind-set he is determined to take the lemons out of his life and make lemonade. Ricky teamed up with Jimmy DaSaint and co-authored the novel, “Black Scarface” which is now available.
