The veil lifts on a shocking story of betrayal, abuse, and corruption as respected Staten Island figure Elliott Carterr reveals disturbing truths about once-influential Blood leader Rameen "Ise Kream" Smith. This raw conversation exposes how a man who commanded respect throughout New Brighton's Tombstone Gangsters used fear and intimidation to mask predatory behavior.

Mr. Carterr, a Staten Island podcaster with firsthand prison experiences alongside Ise Kream, shares court documents revealing the gang leader's arrest for sexually abusing a child under 13. The allegations are horrific—showing pornography to a minor, inappropriate touching, and more—all while Smith maintained his position of authority within the community. The 39-year-old's criminal activities eventually extended to betraying his own code, taking a proffer agreement to cooperate against fellow gang member "Tone."

The conversation reveals an even more disturbing family pattern, with Ise Kream's brother Jatiek "Bad Blood" Smith allegedly approaching inmates with bizarre proposals to cooperate against them in exchange for financial support. According to news reports, both brothers have histories of sexual crimes against minors, using their gang affiliations as shields against accountability. The discussion highlights how power dynamics within gang structures can enable abusers while silencing victims and witnesses through fear of retaliation.

Though some in New Brighton still support Ise Kream despite these revelations, most of Staten Island has turned against him now that the truth has emerged. This powerful episode serves as both a warning about false leaders and a testament to breaking the silence that protects predators. As Chyna Brim states, "I don't wish jail on a lot of people, but I wish jail on him."

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Now, when you holler at me about this, I want to know
, because usually I getpaperwork and I couldn't get
nothing, or nobody sent menothing from standing out and
verifying that he told.
But one thing that made methink I was fortunate to be with

(03:16):
his code D.
A lot of people probably knowthis dude.
He go by tone, which in prisonhe was going by Wolverine.
Now Wolverine was at the timehe was like one of the head of

And Carlito I don't know A lotof people I don't know about
Puerto Rico.
Encalito from Gawandes, he wassomebody who I knew who was
putting on for Mad Dog.
Yeah, facts.
So, this brother.
He came home.
Did you see him when he camehome?

Speaker 2 (04:16):
No, I never.
I never crossed Tom's path, buthe was moving, he was.
He was causing a lot of ruckusin the city.
You know I'm saying he wasgetting money with a lot of
people.
He was putting a lot of peoplein good positions.
You know he's a good dude.
He helped a lot of people, puta lot of money in people's
pocket.
He even put money in a rat icecream pocket.
You know I'm saying for icecream to turn him back around

(04:36):
and take a profit agreement andflip on him.
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
So what was the reason?
Like?
What was the reason?
First of all, ice cream did heget?
Did he blow?

Speaker 2 (04:52):
trial.
Tone blew trial.
Tone went to trial and blewtrial.
For how much?
He didn't get sentenced yet.
Wow yeah, he didn't getsentenced yet.
So he's waiting to getsentenced.
But what Ice Cream did was takea proffer agreement.
You know what I'm saying.
He told Tone he was taking aproffer agreement, but he was

(05:19):
supposed to switch up, you knowon DA and everything.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
But I don't get it.
If he told Tone he's taking theprofit agreement, did Tone
respect it?
Did he say I take the profit?
Because if you're taking aprofit agreement, he basically
agreeing for him to tell on him.
He basically agreeing for icecream to tell on him.
He basically agreeing for IceCream to tell on him who would
just I don't get it.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
I don't know how that whole thing went with him, you
know, agreeing or not, if henecessarily agreed to it, or
whatever the case may be, butIce Cream told him.
I know that for sure.
And then Ice Cream flipped thescript.
He was supposed to you knowwhat I'm saying play the DA, but
he ended up playing Tone.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
So what about Ice Cream?
What's his situation?
Is he in prison?
He's in.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Hudson.
He's in federal.
He's in federal custody rightnow and he's in Hudson.
Now tell me how that makessense right now and he's in
Hudson.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Now tell me how that makes sense.
Ain't Hudson supposed to be forpeople who cooperate in or
listen?
For those who in the commentsection, please hit the comment
section, those who know aboutthe feds.
I'm not too familiar about thefeds, I don't know that much.
I forgot to put it in thecomment section.
But from my information ofdealing with these type of cases
, from hearing, if you in Hudson, from the people that I know,

(06:46):
it's either you cooperating oryou in PC, or you hiding, or you
in PC.
So what is Ice Cream doing inthere?

Speaker 2 (06:56):
That jail is supposed to be closed but it's.
It's open because you know it'sa functioning jail so they
could use it for for things likethis, for for PC.
You know, for people thatalways into something they need
to hide, then they hide.
You know what I'm saying.
Ice Cream also, you know.
I think Ice Cream also helpedthe government against my mans

(07:21):
here.
You know what I'm saying.
And his brother even tried totell on my mans right here.
You know, his brother was in acell.
His brother, bad Blood, was ina cell with Traj, who you see on
the screen, and he asked Traj,he was like yo, let me go in on
you, let me tell on you, youknow what I'm saying and I'll
hold you down your whole bid.
You know, I know you.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
He said so basically, these dudes is asking people to
tell on them.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
That's a fact.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
They will hold them down.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
He asked Traj to his face in the cell.
He was like yo, let me tell onyou you know what I'm saying.
Let me go in on you and I'llhold you down your whole bid.
Traj told him get out the cell.
He was like get out the cellright now.
You can't stay here.
No more.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
That's new.
I never heard nothing like thaton 05OD.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
But I heard nothing like that on 05OD.
But I heard and Traj wrote me aletter and verified it.
So it's not like I'm justtalking, I'll send you the
letter.
You know what I'm saying.
Like he verified it, so I won't.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
We cannot say that the R word.
I want to ask you something,because I heard um Bad Blood,
which is his brother as well,and him, is it true?
Bad Blood, which is his brotheras well, and him, is it true?
Bad Blood and Ice Cream had anR case, or something that's

(08:46):
surrounded by that.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Both of them.
Both of them are SAs.
You know what I'm saying?
They're both abusers.

something that we you know,because we want verification on
this.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
So this is what I'm reading you.

Cash, forced a 13-year-old toperform sexual acts and Donald

(10:04):

a medium yeah, that's where hewas at and he got clapped.
One of the homies clapped himand he asked me to hold them
down.
