Have you heard of 'White Devil John' Willis, the Criminal Mastermind from Boston's Chinatown?

John Willis has two tattoos on his left arm, the Chinese characters for strength and righteousness.

John Willis, otherwise known as the 'White Devil John' in Boston's Chinatown, is not your typical man from Dorchester, MA.

His unique story involves being raised as a Caucasian man by a Chinese family, after being homeless. He lost both his mother an brother at an early age. A Chinese took pity on him, and raised him in their home. John Willis eventually became fluent in two dialects of Cantonese, and also learned how to speak Vietnamese. With this knowledge, he gained access to Chinatown's organized gangs, and orchestrated an elaborate ring of illegal operations, which distributed hundreds of thousands of Oxycodone pills.

John quickly gained the nickname of "Bac Guai John," which in Cantonese is a negative term for a Caucasian, meaning "white devil." He associated most closely with Chinatown's Ping On gang, thought by prosecutors to be no longer active, with its peak of gang activity in the 1980s and 1990s.

The F.B.I.'s website describes John Willis as the "mastermind for a large drug trafficking and money laundering ring" that he ran out of Chinatown. Investigators also linked prostitution, extortion, and illegal gambling to Willis' organized crime ring.

What made John Willis so unique is his connections, but also the fact that he himself was going out to personally beat up people to get retribution. John Willis was not afraid to get his hands dirty with the brunt work.
