What does the public know about Wilson Fisk a.k.a. “Kingpin”?
So I’m rewatching Daredevil Season 3 ahead of the “Echo” miniseries and I’m curious, what does New York City know about Kingpin?
This is what I’ve come up with so far, assuming everything from the Daredevil series is officially canon, as the promotional materials seem to indicate:
-Up until the Hell’s Kitchen attack, he was a very private man. He came out as a philanthropist trying to “bring aid to Hell’s Kitchen” in the wake of the destruction.
-Fisk was charged and convicted on racketeering, five RICO counts, which is enough to warrant a 20 year sentence per count.
-Fisk is a man who publicly stands up against vigilantes like Daredevil.
-Fisk is connected to the Wall Street community (Leland Owlsley) Does the public know that Leland was found dead shortly before Fisk was arrested?
-when Fisk was arrested in Season One, the news showed him being broken out of the police van by armed escort. (That looks pretty guilty)
-Fisk spent time in jail and was an FBI witness informant to various organized crime operations. So the public at least know that he has connections to the mob.
-Fisk had on his payroll NYPD officers, New York Bulletin reporters, FBI agents (Season 3), lawyers, a senator, judges, Ryker’s Island guards and inmates (Season 2 and 3)
-According to Ray Nadeem’s dying admission, Fisk manipulated the FBI into extorting protection money from crime organizations in a large criminal conspiracy. That video circulated throughout Fisk’s wedding and likely made it’s way through the media. Some of these agents killed people under Fisk’s orders.
-Fisk was attacked by “Fake Daredevil” at his wedding, but only the police seem to know that this was not the real Daredevil.
-Fisk has been to jail at least twice to public knowledge and was under house arrest at the penthouse of the Presidential hotel
What I doubt the public would know about are Fisk’s connections to the events of Hawkeye, since he largely operated through people like Maya, Kazi and Eleanor Bishop.
Feel free to add anything I might have missed.
