To Michael Pietsch, CEO Hachette Book Group: Sam E Antar, CFO Crazy Eddie, Convicted Felon, Stock Extortionist, and source for Gary Weiss’ fantasy book, “Retail Gangster: The True, Real-Life Story of Crazy Eddie,” allowed drugs to be smuggled into the United States by The Shower Posse, an International Jamaican Drug Gang. The Shower Posse murdered 1,400 American, predominantly African-American, citizens. 

And the result was Biblical. It was as if Hashem instead of striking down the first-born of the Egyptians, instead struck down Sam E Antar’s sons, David and Leon. Both sons, David and Leon, died of drug overdoses- and Sam E Antar for 20 years allowed drugs to flow into the United States. Sam E Antar did not care that his sons died from drug overdoses. No. Sam E Antar wanted to steal money. 

And Hachette Books is going to allow Sam E Antar to be the source of a hagiography about Sam E Antar. Read Edward Manfredonia's letter, dated 6 June 1994, to FBI Special Agent Joseph Yastremski. Gene Weissman, a member of the American Stock Exchange, accompanied when we met Ken Silverman, who boasted of laundering money and smuggling marijuana for The Shower Posse.
