Summary

In this powerful and unfiltered interview, Mike Moy—a former made man in the infamous Fuk Ching Syndicate and later a 25-year NYPD officer—breaks down the bloody history of Chinese-American gangs in New York City's Chinatown during the 70s, 80s, and early 90s. From underground gambling parlors, prostitution rings, and extortion rackets, to the $1 billion heroin trade and brutal gang wars, Mike reveals shocking insider details never before shared so openly. He explains how the Tong associations, triads, and local street gangs like the Ghost Shadows, Flying Dragons, and BTK worked together—and what ultimately led to their collapse under federal RICO prosecutions.
