Meech and Terry are two American brothers who are recognized as the infamous founders of the Black Mafia Family (BMF), the notorious drug trafficking and money laundering organization. While it lasted, the cartel made close to $300 million under the two brothers.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The older of the duo, Demetrius Edward Flenory Sr., is better referred to as Meech or Big Meech, while the younger is Terry Lee Flenory, also referred to as Southwest Tee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The brothers formed their cartel in the late 1980s, and it ran until the mid-2000s before they were apprehended and locked up. By this time, BMF was believed to have recruited more than 500 members. Although Terry and Meech have since been incarcerated, the story of BMF does not end there.<\/span><\/p>\n Meech and Terry were born to Demetrius Flenory Sr. and Latarra Eutsey in Detroit, Michigan, U.S. While Meech was born Demetrius Edward Flenory Sr. on June 21, 1968, which means he is now 55 years old, Terry was born on January 10, 1970, and he is now 54 years old.<\/span><\/p>\n Of African-American ethnicity and American nationality, they were raised in Detroit alongside their\u00a0<\/span>older sister,<\/span><\/a>\u00a0Nicole Flenory. According to\u00a0<\/span>Big Meech<\/span><\/a>, he grew up facing severe poverty together with his brother and sister. Their family lived on welfare and survived on food stamps. Life was excruciating for them, and clothing was a serious problem. They lived on thrift clothes and wore shoes with holes in the bottom.<\/span><\/p>\n That was a life they wanted to get out of as soon as possible, and so the overreaching ambition of the Flenory brothers from the many years of lack was to make money and be rich. Hence, when dealing drugs presented itself as a way out for them, even though illegal and dangerous, they held on to it and never let go.<\/span><\/p>\nTerry and Meech Were Born And Raised in Detroit, Michigan<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
