Big Meech at halfway house

Demetrius ‘Big Meech’ Flenory, the notorious co-founder of the Black Mafia Family (BMF), has been spotted in a Miami halfway house following his release from federal prison. The 56-year-old was sentenced to 30 years in 2008 for his role in a vast drug trafficking and money laundering operation, but his sentence was reduced by nearly three years this year due to his good behavior and personal growth during incarceration. His attorney Brittany K. Barnett highlighted his achievements, including obtaining his GED and avoiding trouble, as evidence of his reform. NBA star LeBron James welcomed Meech's return on social media, prompting mixed reactions from fans regarding his support of a convicted drug trafficker. BMF, initially founded as a hip-hop label, was later revealed to be a front for a drug empire that generated over $270 million. Demetrius managed distribution in Atlanta while his brother Terry handled shipments from Los Angeles, leading to their eventual arrest by the DEA in 2005.
