⚠️ LAST OF 73: A***N BROTHERHOOD OF TEXAS CAPTAIN SENTENCED TO 18 YEARS IN LANDMARK RICO CASE

Rusty Eugene Duke was a captain in the A***n Brotherhood of Texas. When federal prosecutors finished their sweep, he was the final defendant standing—the 73rd and last conviction in a case that decimated the gang's leadership.

Who Is Rusty Eugene Duke?

A captain in the A***n Brotherhood of Texas (ABT) who became the final defendant sentenced in a landmark federal racketeering case that dismantled the gang's senior leadership.

The Sentence (December 2014):

Duke was sentenced to 18 years (216 months) in federal prison.

The Appeal (2016):

Duke attempted to have his guilty plea set aside, claiming he was misled by prosecutors and his lawyer into believing he would receive only a 10-year sentence.

The challenge was unsuccessful.

Projected Release:

Based on his 18-year sentence and typical federal sentencing credits, Duke is expected to remain in federal custody until approximately 2030.

The Bigger Picture:

Duke's sentencing marked the end of a massive federal investigation that resulted in:

🔸 73 total convictions of ABT members and associates
🔸 The dismantling of the gang's senior leadership structure
🔸 A major blow to one of Texas' most violent white supremacist prison gangs.

⚠️ "LIL WOOD" SILLERS: THE ABT GENERAL WHO TURNED ON HIS OWN—AND TOOK DOWN 73 GANG MEMBERS

The Cooperation:

Sillers provided testimony that helped federal prosecutors secure convictions against 73 gang members.

Current Status:

Due to his cooperation—which is considered a "death warrant" by the ABT—Sillers was held in undisclosed protective custody at a secret location.
