Common card · No. 279744

Lorenzo "Fat Cat" Nichols (born December 25, 1958) is an American convicted former drug kingpin who ran a sophisticated drug trafficking organization in the 1980s in Jamaica, Queens. Members of Nichols' crew were Howard "Pappy" Mason, a friend from prison and a key part of Nichols' operation; Luc "Spoon" Stephen, a trusted associate; and Joseph "Mike Bones" Rogers. Nichols' headquarters was Big Mac's Deli, a business that he inherited from his then father-in-law. According to the book Queens Reigns Supreme: Fat Cat, 50 Cent, and the Rise of the Hip Hop Hustler by Ethan Brown, he got his nickname "Fat Cat" because of his "linebacker-thick neck, a head so big it nearly blocked out his friends' faces in snapshots, and his rangy beard."
