The Streets Talk: How Zoe Pound Moved Weight from Haiti

1 hour 33 minutes

In this episode of Honor Among Thieves, host Nelson Rodriguez sits down with Ali “Zoe” Adam, founding member of the Zoe Pound gang, one of the most notorious Haitian organized crime groups in Miami history. This raw, first-person interview details the rise of Zoe Pound, the criminal power struggles in Carol City and Little Haiti, and the federal investigation that ultimately brought the organization down.

Ali “Zoe” Adam recounts immigrating from Haiti to Miami in 1984, growing up in Carol City, and being mentored by legendary Miami street figure Kenneth “Boobie” Williams. Under Boobie’s guidance, Ali learned the structure, discipline, and mechanics behind organized street power. When Boobie was federally indicted in the 1990s, a massive power vacuum opened in Miami — leading Ali to found Zoe Pound, a Haitian street organization that quickly expanded its influence.

The conversation dives deep into:

-The formation of the Zoe Pound gang

-Robberies at the Port of Miami

-Building a multi-million-dollar cocaine trafficking operation

-Colombian cartel connections routed through Haiti

-Moving thousands of kilos per month

-The 2007 federal indictment that ended the empire

This episode offers one of the most detailed insider accounts ever told about Zoe Pound, Miami organized crime, Haitian gangs, drug trafficking, and federal law enforcement investigations. Nothing is glorified — this is a real breakdown of how criminal empires are built, expanded, and destroyed.
