Shocking RICO Charges Unleash Big U’s Dark Underbelly
Let’s get this straight: a supposed anti-gang activist is now in the spotlight for running what can only be described as a mafia-like organization. Eugene Henley Jr., known as Big U, has been charged in a sweeping federal RICO complaint that reads like a crime thriller. With allegations of murder, human trafficking, and extortion, Big U, a founding member of the Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crips and former manager of the late Nipsey Hussle, is now declared a fugitive. The audacity! According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Big U is accused of orchestrating the murder of an aspiring rapper who dared to release a diss track against him. Picture this: a drive to Las Vegas, a quick execution, and then a casual return to L.A.—what an elaborate cover-up! The details are as chilling as they are cinematic, involving body disposal in the Nevada desert and witness intimidation that would make any crime lord proud.
What’s more, the complaint reveals that Big U allegedly embezzled millions from the office of L.A. Mayor Karen Bass under the guise of anti-gang initiatives. Yes, you read that right—while pretending to advocate for community betterment, he was allegedly siphoning funds to bolster his criminal empire and maintain his street reputation. Acting United States Attorney Joseph McNally didn’t hold back, calling out the absurdity of a so-called community leader engaging in such heinous activities. Let’s ponder the irony of a man who once claimed to fight against gang violence now being at the center of a criminal enterprise that thrives on it.
Big U, having already served 13 years in prison, faces a potential life sentence if convicted. As he remains on the run, one can’t help but wonder: how many more layers of deception lie beneath the surface of this scandal? If history has taught us anything, it’s that the truth is often stranger than fiction. And in this case, it’s a poignant reminder that the line between “activist” and “criminal” can sometimes blur alarmingly.
