Gangsters called a courier who did their bidding a little idiot' and a little s***' behind his back.
Jack Brownsill, 23, was involved in a plot to flood the streets with about 50 kilos of cannabis.
He also acted as a courier and 'gofer' for the Salford-based Cox organised crime family.
The firm, led by Jason Cox with the help of his brothers Craig and Lee Cox, were involved in dealing up to 201 los of cocaine.
They also launched an audacious armed robbery at the stash house of a notorious Liverpool gang, after joining forces with Liverpool gangster Richard Caswell, getting away with about £1m of cocaine and leaving two men seriously injured.
Brownsill was acquitted of having any involvement in cocaine dealing or the robbery.
But he was found to have been involved in conspiracies to deal cannabis and possess criminal property, the significant sums of cash generated by the gang's drug dealing.
