Hoover was a founder of the Gangster Disciples more than 50 years ago, which remains one of Chicago’s most notorious street gangs.At its height under Hoover’s leadership, the gang generated about $100 million each year in cocaine and heroin sales, according to federal prosecutors.

“He was the undisputed head of the organization. He ran it.
