Richard Foronjy is one of the three Foronjy brothers out of Flatlands, Brooklyn who ran in some organized crime circles in the area at the time including the DeMeo Crew.
Foronjy, a middle-aged Brooklyn native, is not the sort of man a person would knowingly offend. He is powerfully built and bursting with energy.
'I was arrested for forgery, bank robbery, credit card rip-offs, assorted crimes and skullduggery,' Foronjy said recently. 'I was always trying to make two out of one, and that's what tripped me up in life.

'Altogether I was arrested and put in jail 27 times. I was guilty of almost everything except drugs and homicide. But I was only convicted once, for armed robbery, and I put in eight and a half years in Sing Sing and Attica."
