Still Scamming
The story of his life - besides the burglary and armed robbery convictions and suspected involvement in other gang activity:
He’s no lawyer, but Wallace “Gator” Bradley was doing his best impression of one.
Bradley, a former Gangster Disciples enforcer who now calls himself an “urban translator,” was grilling murder exoneree Mark Maxson in a deposition in August over this $345,000 question:
Is Bradley owed a cut of Maxson’s $8.75 million wrongful conviction settlement? Bradley says he is.
And what does an "urban translator" earn these days?
Bradley says he logged 4,607 hours at $75 an hour — more than $345,000 — and has submitted about 70 pages describing the work he says he did between 2013 and 2025.
Hm. Seventy-five bucks an hour. Not bad.
Who is he translating for?
He listed dozens of City Council and Rainbow/PUSH Coalition meetings he says he attended, along with his preparation for those meetings.
He says there was outreach to the media and “community/political leadership”; a handful of meetings, emails and conversations with Maxson’s lawyers; and appearances at several events, including a 2023 Christmas party where Bradley says Maxson and Mayor Brandon Johnson also showed up.
Oh. And is he translating because these people (or folks) were "educated" or work for the Chicago Public Schools and are therefore incapable of understanding words?
We're just curious.

I believe Barbara Billingsley said it best in Airplane
I speak jive
The ultimate flimflam man. So he is translating in legal cases. In order to be an interperator for the Illinois Courts one needs to be certified. So his term is, translating, does it mean he listens to jive from the street scum and then explains it in understandable English (like Barbara Billingsley in the movie "Airplane" 5/10/1980 "I speak jive".) to everyone. I doubt it. He is just a scourge on society. Although in CST photo he appears in religious garb and calls himself Dr/Rev he is not. He is not educated unless you call a GED from Stateville a degree. Go to his Facebook Reels page and see good buddy Porky Pritzker yucking it up with him. Pritzker is really excited. I think the flimflam people are the hierarchy of the Democrat Party.
He is always around the current and former City of Chicago mayors.
Pity we don't speak ghetto, er urban street language and aren't professional grifters. That's a nice consulting fee. Well, at least it's not earned via trading drugs. That said, disgusting waste of taxpayer funds.
MAYBE we need some FOP LODGE 7 translators?Partime Detective Erins been mighty quite . Did Mette cash in his favor? HOW IS revrun GraHAM doing he's hoping to be on a ticket but brings NO VALUE. FYI Jkatz still worried about Mette lawyers case hasn't been dropped YET???
Old boy Gator has always been a gang-banging scumbag. I'm surprised he hasn't been elected to political office by his peeps.
In that story there's a picture of Wallace “Gator” Bradley greeting Gov. JB Pritzker at a political event last year in downtown Chicago. I like that picture of a con artist and a consummate phony. Both descriptions fit both men
Sun-Times file
I can translate "'VilleSpeak".
So the grifters got grifted?
Sheeeiiit!
(Golly!)
This was yet another opportunity for our city's media to question not only his legitimacy as an "urban translator", but the entire "violence prevention" industry here which would make MN Somali daycare pale in comparison.
It's really simple, either these programs are saving lives and reducing violence which nobody can seem to prove or document, or they're illegitimate.
He is and has been promoting JB for a long time.
Wonder why?
Where’s the money?
Get a real job and STFU
Is Johnny scamming this? Just got in the mail the plans for the retiree dental and vision benefits trying to save us money so it says however, neither plan is in network for my doctors my dentist or vision look at who is in the plan when you get it, definitely people that are not rated very high. Who’s getting paid off for this one? Just wondering!!

Gator be a ugly shitbird.
Don't play- I'm really close to that day and it would suck to leave and realize I had better health benefits if I stayed wtf
They sure do spend alot of time figuring out ways to loot the treasury. A brain is a terrible thing to waste.
It's the arthritic hand signs and gestures that require translation
Chump dont want no help Chump dont get no help!
Wallace Gator Bradley should be in a federal penitentiary with Hoover. He is scum.
