Never heard of Atkinson before. But Lucas is also from North Carolina. Funny how the one big drug lord at that time that was actually from Harlem did not run harlem(Barnes). Franzese was actually at his peak after Matthews had left. I’m not sure of a mobster who was profiting from their activities like Matthews was at that time. But I wouldn’t doubt that there was one. It would have to be a top boss I would think.
