In 15 years, the Black Mafia Family, or BMF as they were called, made nearly $300 million trafficking cocaine from Atlanta throughout the United States. Many in SW Atlanta knew of BMF during their highlight, because members of the criminal organization often threw lavish parties, drove lavish cars, and trafficked drugs through our communities.
