📖 ABOUT THIS STORY:

November 4th, 1963. 2:37 AM.
James "Jimmy" Walker sat in his car outside Bumpy Johnson's apartment building, hands gripping the steering wheel, a recording device hidden in his jacket pocket.

He'd just spent four hours with Bumpy. Dinner. Drinks. Late-night conversation about business, territory, and money.

And the entire time, the device in his pocket had been recording every word.
This was the 87th time Jimmy had worn a wire around Bumpy Johnson.
He'd been doing it for two years. 730 days of lying to the man who'd been his best friend for over 20 years. The man who'd given Jimmy his first job. The man who'd paid for his mother's funeral. The man who'd stood as best man at his wedding.

But tonight felt different.

Tonight, Bumpy had looked at Jimmy a little longer than usual. Asked questions that felt weighted. And then, just as Jimmy was leaving, Bumpy hugged him and whispered:

"You're like a brother to me, Jimmy. I trust you with my life."
Now, sitting in his car at 2:37 in the morning, Jimmy Walker was starting to wonder if Bumpy Johnson already knew.
And if he did, how much time Jimmy had left to live.
For two years, Jimmy Walker lived a double life:

By day: Bumpy's most trusted friend, a 20-year brotherhood
By night: FBI Informant #4427, recording every conversation

88 recordings. 730 days of betrayal. Hundreds of hours on tape.
But Bumpy Johnson didn't become Harlem's most powerful figure by trusting blindly. And when he finally discovered the truth, the consequences were worse than death.

This is the story of the informant operation that almost brought down Bumpy Johnson—and the man who destroyed his entire life trying to make it happen.
