I had no idea until Google.

Rayful Edmond III, (born November 26, 1964), was a notorious drug dealer who is largely credited with introducing crack cocaine into the Washington, D.C. area.
[edit] Criminal career

At his peak (according to BET's American Gangster documentary of him), Edmond was alleged to moved 300 kilos of cocaine per month, worth millions of dollars, in the Washington, D.C. area. (Ironically, while in jail later on his cocaine distribution peaked at a mark of roughly 400 kilos a month). Edmond controlled as much as 70% of the D.C. drug trade in the late 1980s. He was known to have spent some $457,619 in an exclusive Georgetown store (Linea Pitti, specializing in Italian men's clothing) owned by Charles Wynn who was later convicted on 34 counts of money laundering. Georgetown University basketball coach John Thompson personally requested that Edmond cease all contacts with his players, including Alonzo Mourning.

Edmond was arrested in 1989 at the age of 24. His arrest and subsequent trial were widely covered by local and national media. Judicial officials, fearful of reprisals from members of Edmond's gang, imposed unprecedented security during the trial. Jurors' identities were kept secret before, during, and after trial, and their seating area was enclosed in bulletproof glass. Edmond was jailed at the maximum security facility at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia and flown to the Federal Court House in Washington, D.C. by helicopter each day for his trial. Authorities took this unusual step due to heightened fears of an armed escape attempt. This gang was believed to have committed over 40 murders including the attempted murder of a local pastor, the Reverend Mr. Bynum, who was shot 12 times during an anti-drug march in his Orleans place neighborhood.

Edmond was eventually sentenced to life in prison. His mother, Constance "Milk Chocolate" Perry, was sentenced to 14 years in prison for participating in his criminal enterprise. Several of his sisters and cousins also received sentences.

In 1996, Edmond and another drug dealer from Atlanta, named Lowe, was convicted after conducting drug business from a federal prison phone, receiving an additional 30-year sentence. Edmond's case is one of the most notorious abuses of such phone privileges,[1] and an embarrassment for the Bureau of Prisons. In an interview with the Bureau of Prisons, Edmond said he had spent several hours every day on the telephone, occasionally using two lines simultaneously to conduct his drug business.

Following this conviction, Edmond became a government informant in order to secure his mother's release from prison. While he is still incarcerated, Edmond is now part of the United States Federal Witness Protection Program and his location is unknown.

Ray, never talked....The(DEA/FBI)fabricated the story of him informing to loosen his grip on DC. The snitch story was the deal he made, to free his family.

His DVD is ill, he made MILLIONS, but like the New Jack City movie his homeboy tried to make side deals and shit went downhill from there with his connect in LA, then he put WAY too much trust in a white bitch that wasnt down from the start and Ms. Granville worked with the feds to bring his ass down, she walked by the way and is in witness protection as i type. He didnt snitch though, that was made up by the media cause he ran shit from prison and they still couldnt stop him.

 

[HALO2]

As much shit that went down in DC during his time, it got WAY worse after he got arrested. A lot of folks got killed but if they wanted YOU they got YOU and not a shit load of random innocent bystanders. And the vast majority of the folks who got killed were in the game, so you knew the risk when got involved.
