FN7.: "Moore advances the creative, yet hopeless contention that he could not have agreed to participate in an enterprise with other pimps because he was not considered a real pimp by other pimps and their prostitutes because he did not follow the rules of the game. In support of this assertion, Moore cites testimony from Hollywood that Moore was a mere ’shoe man’ and a ticket scalping ’hustler,’ disrespected in the neighborhood for the way he conducted his affairs.
The record negates Moore’s claims. While the other denizens of Metropolitan Avenue may have looked down upon Moore for being a ’guerilla pimp,’ he was a pimp nonetheless. At trial, Hollywood, Worm, Scooby, and KK referred to Moore as a pimp. Contrary to Moore’s assertions, the record overwhelmingly shows that he was a pimp who knowingly worked in concert with other pimps."
