Tony/Mikey got his training and experience at STUDIO 54.

Over the span of just eight years, he orchestrated a meteoric rise through the New York nightlife scene, working his way up from a dishwasher to a bartender before eventually becoming the VP of Exclusive Client Relations.

The Story of Mikey vs. Group 33

Group 33, a corrupt governmental organization, entrapped Mikey by storming into his penthouse with 12 undercover agents and without a Search Warrent, inflicting severe violence upon him and was taken to private jail cell. He was beaten for 3 days and following the assault, Mikey was thrown into the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC), where he endured relentless interrogation and further abuse. To evade five fabricated conspiracy charges and a potential 100-year prison sentence, he was coerced into becoming an informant for the Reagan administration’s "War on Drugs." In exchange for his cooperation, the government promised to restore his citizenship.

Acting as an informant, Mikey orchestrated 16 life-threatening drug stings at the Blu-Lite club, successfully putting 16 drug cartels behind bars. However, Group 33 was far from heroic; the organization stole massive quantities of cocaine, gold, cash, and diamonds. They routinely tampered with evidence and committed horrific crimes, including invading the homes of suspects and assaulting women.

Betrayal and the Legal Battle

Three years later, Mikey was kidnapped in Albuquerque by the Department of Justice and the FBI and taken to the Marriott Hotel in New York City. There, in a room filled with agents from various departments, he was subjected to a nerve-wracking lie detector test. Officials handed him an INS pink slip, threatening him with deportation by noon if he refused to sign, as he was only a Green Card holder at the time. They promised that signing would grant him his freedom and his citizenship. Although he signed under duress, the promised citizenship never materialized.

Refusing to be silenced, Mikey sued the United States government in 2003. After a long legal battle, he won his case in October 2007. One month later, with an American passport finally in hand, he bought a one-way ticket to China, where he lived as a happy man for 18 years.

The Downfall of Group 33

Throughout his ordeal, Mikey courageously provided testimony regarding the illegal activities of Group 33. The organization was comprised of 33 agents from various high-level agencies, including the DEA, FBI, and CIA. Because of his detailed accounts and the extent of his involvement, the corrupt organization was eventually disbanded, bringing an end to their reign of systemic abuse.

Mikey vs. USA

In the aftermath, Mickey sued the US government. He receives unexpected support from Mr. Gus from the Justice Department, who testifies to his character and unwavering support for America. Who by the way was the man who kidnapped Mikey from Albuquerque to testify against Group 33. Mikey then WINS the court case and his citizenship.

With his new found status as a citizen, MIKEY decides to venture beyond the borders of the United States once again. He moves to China, to follow his ancestors footsteps like Marco Polo and Silk Road.
