The cops have been cracking down on the Black Disciples. They've found all kinds of proof about how they're laundering their extensive amounts of money they're accused of getting by selling drugs. In the most recent bust, the cops found a letter from Chicago police to Alderwoman Troutman of the 20th ward. Of course they aren't saying what was in the letter, but it strikes me as suspicious.
