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.
