Ghostface Gangsters gang bosses and members convicted of RICO conspiracy, drug, and gun charges

By Gangsters Inc. Editors

Three founders and 22 members and associates of the Ghostface Gangsters prison gang pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy, drug and gun charges. Founded around 2000 in a Georgia county jail, the Ghostface Gangsters expanded beyond Georgia prison walls.

The whites-only gang has seven founding members, known as “pillars.” All Ghostface Gangsters gang members trace their gang “bloodline” directly back to one of the pillars. Members and associates engaged in drug distribution and acts of violence involving murder, kidnapping, assault, and witness intimidation. Ghostface Gangsters gang operated both within and outside the Georgia prison system.

“Pillars” or founding fathers

Within the past year, three Ghostface Gangsters gang pillars charged in the case have been convicted and will be, or have been, sentenced. They are:

  • On August 25, 2022, Jeffrey Alan Bourassa, a/k/a “JB,” “Babyface,” and “Kid,” 40, of Cobb County, Georgia, a Ghostface Gangsters gang founding pillar, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit racketeering.  He is scheduled to be sentenced on October 25, 2022.
  • On July 22, 2021, David Gene Powell, a/k/a “Davo,” 45, of Cobb County, Georgia, a Ghostface Gangsters gang pillar, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit racketeering. On February 23, 2022, Powell was sentenced to four years, one month of imprisonment.
