Rick Ross, who was released from prison in September of 2009, was originally given a life sentence for attempting to buy 100 kilos of cocaine from a federal agent in 1996.
His sentence was reduced when one his sources turned out to be connected to the CIA and the Iran-Contral scandal.
Rick Ross served almost a total of 30 years in prison, for dominating the crack cocaine trade in south-central Los Angeles, where he oversaw a cocaine empire that raked in as much as $1,000,000 per day in the mid-1980s.
Since Freeway Rick’s release, he has launched FreewayEnterprises.com.
