Regina Blackshear, once known as the "Queen of Furs," built a black-market fur and jewelry operation that she says moved nearly $20 million in stolen goods — from teenage boosting in Toledo, Ohio, to multiple prison sentences and a federal identity-fraud case that finally brought it down.
This video draws on court records, contemporary reporting, and Regina Blackshear's own on-camera interviews (BET+'s American Gangster: Trap Queens, VladTV). Where courts decided an outcome, we state it as such. Where the account is hers alone and unconfirmed elsewhere, we say so.
