[1] On April 5, 2005, US Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald described The Mickey Cobras (few in numbers compared to other partys with same power) as one of several "super-gangs" that constitute a sizable portion.
Cogwell led the Egyptian King Cobras as they gained a foothold and reputation in Chicago.
Mickey Cogwell and the Cobras policed the police in their communities, receiving government grants to feed kids breakfast in Fuller Park area before public schools offered meals - the template for school free lunch programs all over America - and worked as an organizer for a south side union.
Federal agents in the United States wanted Green to cooperate, and reports are falsely accusing him of doing so, although he refused.
Some of the other members prosecuted involved:[citation needed] Prosecutors stated that the drug trafficking operation ran by Green used street sellers with cell phones to keep customers posted on their changing locations.
After Green and the others were indicted in May, Green had many assets that he owned including a house, furnished with hand carved Italian furniture and a home theatre, as well as several luxury vehicles and fur coats which he in turn had to give up as part of his plea bargain.
The Mickey Cobras now has its own unique written constitution and by-laws, which show a strong Islamic influence, just like those of the modern-day BPSN.
