It was in 1989 that the Flenorys started their business. In that year they only sold $ 50 backpacks of cocaine during their school years, thus starting with a job they could never stop. And, it was around the 2000s when cities like Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi and more had the presence of the Flenory drugs.
However, by 2001 they separated as Tee, the youngest, left for Los Angeles to have his own drug store, while Meech remained in Detroit. But, by 2003 the problems already began since the DEA began to have a record of their illicit activities and, in 2005 they were captured by this anti-drug federation.
Then it was in November 2007 when, before a court jury, both brothers pleaded guilty and, in 2008, they were sentenced to 30 years in prison. So much so that, at present, the Flenorys, who approved the realization of Black Mafia Family, they are incarcerated.
Demetrius is in the Sheridan Federal Correctional Facility and must serve his sentence until May 5, 2032, that is, he could leave at 64 years old.
