Frank Lucas, the black drug lord who ruled Harlem in the 1970s, was so discreet that the police didn't know who he was in 1971 when he decided to wear a $100,000 full-length chinchilla coat โ to a Muhammad Ali boxing match.
He later wrote that this was a โmassive mistake."
Apparently, Lucasโs coat caught the eye of law enforcement โ who were surprised that he had better seats than Diana Ross and Frank Sinatra.
As Lucas put it: โI left that fight a marked man.โ
