The gang's leader, Anthony Lawrence, was shot multiple times in his apartment in August. The robbers weren't there to steal his crack profits; they were after the $17,000 settlement he'd received in his latest suit against the city.

And since its payouts this year have already reached $637 million  as of July 1, it's naturally reticent about going to trial. But it appears the city has become so zealous in settling at all costs that pretty much anyone can game the system. Even if you're a notorious Brooklyn crack gang, which has pulled in $500,000 by repeatedly suing New York...</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.truecrimereport.com/2009/10/a_new_york_crack_gang_finds_th.php"><TR><TD><A href="http://www.truecrimereport.com/Anthony-Lawrence-Shamel-King.jpg"><IMG width="485" height="302" src="http://www.truecrimereport.com/assets_c/2009/10/Anthony-Lawrence-Shamel-King-thumb-485x302.jpg" alt="Anthony-Lawrence-Shamel-King.jpg" /></A></TD></TR><TR><TD class="caption">Anthony Lawrence and Shamel King's crack crew pulled in $500,000 by suing New York 20 times</TD></TR></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.truecrimereport.com/2009/10/a_new_york_crack_gang_finds_th.php">The East 21st Street Crew is not the kind of gang that gathers sympathy.
