Frank Lucas (born September 9 1930) is an American former heroin dealer who operated in Harlem during the late 1960s and early 1970s. He was particularly known for cutting out middlemen in the drug trade and buying heroin directly from his source in the Golden Triangle. Lucas boasted that he smuggled heroin using the coffins of dead American servicemen but this claim is denied by his South East Asian associate Leslie Ike Atkinson.
