Chicago Gang Leader Tells All - Raw Interview

This true crime podcast episode of 10 Toes Podcast features Scott Anthony, a former branch president of the Simon City Royals, one of the most notorious Chicago street gangs. Scott Anthony committed his first crime at age 9, was arrested over 100 times as a juvenile, and rose to gang leadership at just 14 years old — making him one of the youngest gang leaders to ever hold power inside the Simon City Royals. In this raw, unfiltered gang documentary–style interview, Scott Anthony breaks down growing up in Chicago gang culture, becoming a career burglar, and eventually robbing drug dealers as a teenager. His criminal career escalated until he was caught with six kilos of cocaine in Georgia, forcing him to go on the run for five years. Scott explains what life was really like living in Mexico on the run, how he was eventually captured, and what it meant to serve time in federal prison. After his release, Scott leveraged connections he made while on the run and behind bars to discover a new underground hustle — the Cuban cigar trade, launching an unexpected post-prison chapter of his life.
