Description: Scores by Michael D. Blutrich Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A gay man who created New Yorks most notorious den of heterosexuality . . . an anxious, anything-but-hardboiled lawyer who became one of the most successful undercover mob informants in history. . . .In this hilarious and fascinating account, Michael Blutrich takes you inside star-studded 1990s New York, mafia sit-downs, and the witness protection program.Meet Michael D. Blutrich, founder of Scores, the hottest strip club in New York history. A resourceful lawyer at one of the citys most respected firms, Blutrich fell into the skin trade almost by accident, but it was his legal savvy that made Scores the first club in Manhattan to feature lap dances and enabled him to neatly sidestep a law requiring dancers to wear pasties by instead covering their nipples with latex paint. Soon Scores, the club Howard Stern called "like being in a candy shop," was a home away from home for everyone from sports superstars and Oscar-winning actors to pop singers and political notables alike.The catch? The club was smack dab in John Gottis territory, and the mafia wanted a piece of the action. The Gambino family doesnt take no for an answer . . . and neither, as it turns out, does the FBI. In his memoir, Blutrich recounts in detail how his beloved club became a hub for the mafia, and how he found himself caught up in an FBI investigation, sorely struggling to juggle roles of business owner and undercover spy.As his life spiraled out of control, Blutrich would face the loss of almost everything dear to him. But whether marching a line of topless strippers as human exhibits into a trial to save the clubs liquor license or wearing wires to meetings with armed gangsters, he never lost his sense of humor or his nerve. In Scores, Blutrich finally tells all—from triumph to betrayal—in his own funny, self-deprecating voice. Author Biography After distinguishing himself as an extraordinary undercover cooperator credited with almost 40 convictions of mafia defendants, Michael Blutrich was unexpectedly sentenced, over government opposition, to more than 13 years of imprisonment in the Federal Witness Security Program. Today he lives and works under a new identity in a secret location. After graduating from the Georgetown University Law Center law, Blutrich had a distinguished legal career as a Park Avenue attorney, including a partnership with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. As an entrepreneur, he was the original owner of SCORES as well as several other popular nightclubs, owned an HBO boxing promotion enterprise, and for seven years hosted "Psychic Eye," an acclaimed radio talk show on both WOR-AM and WEVD-AM in New York City. Anderson Cooper recently interviewed him on a segment of 60 Minutes examining his undercover experiences. Details ISBN 1942952635 ISBN-13 9781942952633 Title Scores Author Michael D.
