Former Friend Says Al Sharpton Was Eager To Sell Drugs (@TheRevAl)



After news of Al Sharpton's affiliations with the FBI as a Confidential Informant, former drug trafficker and friend Rob Curington is standing by his story about the Rev. Al Sharpton's eagerness to sell drugs.


According to the Daily Post, 72-year-old Robert Curington, spoke with the paper about his relationship with the Reverend and how Don King played an important part of Sharpton's alleged deals with the mob. Despite reports, Curington says the he's telling the truth about Shaprton.


"It was greed. He just wanted money," he said. He also claims that a meeting with an undercover agent was knowingly passed off to Sharpton because King didn't want to get caught. The meeting Curington refers to is the same meeting Sharpton claims he engaged in to protect his family.


"King was sly — he knew something was off about this," Curington said. "So he kept him downstairs and let his new best friend Al Sharpton talk to him." It was then where Sharpton was caught trying to buy drugs and where he allegedly began his own deals with the FBI.


He also says that Sharpton was scared after the deal, but needed the money.


"He was really tormented," he said. 'You should have just listened to your advisers. Because you're in deep.' I said, 'Why are you talking to these types of people?' He was just greedy. It was all for money."


Sharpton has maintained his innocence through the situation, but Curington isn't buying it.


"He was like two people," he said. "He ran around trying to score money for his National Youth Movement. But you can't be an activist and an opportunist."
