Big Meech was arrested in 2005 and convicted in 2008 and sentenced to 30 years in prison after being convicted on charges of drug trafficking and money laundering.

In 2024, a judge cut his sentence by nearly three years. Demetrius and Terry Flenory 1985 founded the Black Mafia Family (BMF) in Southwest Detroit.

The DEA, in October 2005, carried out a huge drug raid, code-named Operation Motor City Mafia, arresting 30 members of the BMF.

The task force began with seizing large quantities of drugs and relying on information from BMF members, particularly low-level dealers and high-level distributors.

Meech’s net worth was estimated to be between $100 million to $120 million at the height of his power.

While Terry and his brother, Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory, were languishing in jail, 50 Cent transformed their BMF saga into a household name with a hit eponymous series on Starz.
