Big Meech, also known as Demetrius Flenory, is the founder of the Black Mafia Family (BMF), a notorious drug trafficking organization that operated in the United States during the late 1990s and early 2000s. The organization was known for its involvement in the distribution of large quantities of drugs, particularly cocaine.
The downfall of the BMF was the result of a multi-agency investigation that was led by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The investigation was a long-term operation that involved wiretaps, surveillance, and undercover operations.
It is not publicly known who specifically "snitched" on Big Meech and the BMF. Informants and cooperating witnesses often play a crucial role in investigations of criminal organizations, and their identities are typically kept confidential for their own safety. Many times, they are protected by the Government and the information they provide is used to build cases and make arrests.
Big Meech and several other BMF members were eventually arrested and charged with various drug trafficking and money laundering offenses. In 2007, Big Meech was convicted and sentenced to 30 years in federal prison.
