October 23rd, 1947. Detective William "Bill" McCarthy sat across from his captain, a manila envelope thick with cash on the desk between them. For three years, McCarthy had been collecting monthly payments from Bumpy Johnson in exchange for advance warnings about police raids.
Tonight, everything was about to change. The FBI had launched Operation Clean Sweep, targeting police corruption in New York City. McCarthy's name was on their list, along with 17 other NYPD officers taking money from organized crime figures.
Over three years, Bumpy Johnson had paid approximately $50,000 to various NYPD officers—equivalent to over $500,000 today. The payments purchased advance warnings about hundreds of police operations and general immunity from serious law enforcement attention.
This is the true story of systematic police corruption that protected Harlem's Godfather while undermining justice for the community that deserved honest police service.
