White Boy Rick sues the FBI. . .
Following the release of his official motion picture biography a few years back, Rick Wershe Jr., known by many as White Boy Rick, wants $100 million for his trouble. According to his lawyer, Nabih Ayad, revealed that White Boy Rick wants $3 million for each of the 30+ year sentence he served since his teens.
Now at 52, White Boy Rick says the Detroit police groomed him to be a drug informant at the age of 14. This led to them allegedly teaching him tricks of buying and selling narcotics without being caught by agents that weren’t in on the situation.
For years, he was provided by them with money, drugs and fake ID; as those unknown associated denied association with him after his cocaine arrest. In the insane lawsuit, Rick Wershe Jr is also claiming child abuse, when he beame the youngest FBI informant in United States history.
In a statement, White Boy Rick said, “I want this chapter in my life closed. Had I not been an informant for the task force, I would never have gotten involved with drug gangs or criminality of any sort. I went down a path that I never thought would affect the rest of my life.”
The 10-page lawsuit continued, revealing he would frequently meet with FBI agents and Detroit police officers for information. However, by the time he was 17, White Boy Rick received a life sentence, as his role as an informant was not admissible in court.
Now, with the story getting attention that agents in Michigan would not like, Wershe will likely win this lawsuit to keep this situation quiet. In the lawsuit, names of Detroit police offers, retired FBI agents, former federal prosecutors and the city of Detroit are all named.
