Richard Wershe’s zodiac sign is Cancer. According to astrologers, the sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don't have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.
Richard Wershe was born in the Year of the Rooster. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Rooster are practical, resourceful, observant, analytical, straightforward, trusting, honest, perfectionists, neat and conservative. Compatible with Ox or Snake.
Known as "White Boy Rick," he rose to fame as the youngest FBI informant in the agency's history at age 14 while living outside of Detroit, Michigan in the mid-1980's. He was later arrested at age 17 for selling cocaine, and later sentenced to life without parole.
He served as an informant for the FBI between the ages of 14 and 16. He began selling drugs at age 16, as he could not escape the life he had begun in Detroit's criminal underworld.
A movie based on his life called White Boy Rick was released in 2018. He was later granted parole in Michigan in 2017 after serving nearly 30 years.
His father was a police and FBI informant, and he initially joined him in giving tips.
