Cooper Michael Blutrich is not a name youll recognize, but the feds consider him to be one of the best civilian informants they ever had against the mob, as well as one of the unlikeliest. Blutrichs undercover work helped send dozens of mafia members and associates to prison, including john gotti jr. , whom the government considered acting boss of the gambino crime family. Risking his life by wearing an fbi wire, Michael Blutrich recorded about 1,000 hours of conversations with mobsters. But what happened to him after he cooperated with the fbi is as surprising as how his story began, which youll hear him tell in full for the first time. The secret to Michael Blutrichs success, aside from his brains may very well have been his appearance and personality. Street tough . Nerves of steel . Not exactly. It would be hard to find someone who looks less suited for the job of mafia informant than Michael Blutrich. Cooper when i first saw you walking down the street, i literally said, thats the guy . blutrich thank you very much. Cooper no, i mean, you were probably the unlikeliest informer. Blutrich and i think thats what worked in my favor. I didnt think i had the courage. I dont think they thought i had the courage. Unlike most informants, blutrich wasnt a member of any organized crime family; he was a welloff park avenue lawyer. Blutrich i was being. Running a law firm during the day. I was. I was going out at night with the fbi. Im dealing with mafia people. Im making up stories about where im going and why am i going. Cooper howd you keep all the lies straight . Blutrich lot of. Lot of lying. Because, you know, most of the stuff that we were telling the mafia were just invented stories to get them to talk. Cooper Michael Blutrich was in a unique position to inform on the mob because he was being extorted by them for money. Back in the 1990s, he owned a blockbuster strip club, scores a playground for bankers and businessmen with fat expense accounts. The mob demanded a share of the profits. How much money was the club making . Blutrich at its zenith, maybe, you know, 400,000 a week. Cooper 400. Almost half a million dollars. Blutrich right. Cooper thats a lot of money. Blutrich yes, sir. Cooper at scores, there were lines outside the door, and celebrities and professional athletes partying inside. Blutrich the new york rangers came to scores on the night they won the stanley cup filled the stanley cup with champagne and shared it with everybody, and then left the cup. Cooper they left the stanley cup there. Blutrich they. They got drunk, they left the cup. Cooper Michael Blutrich says the mafia showed up as he was opening scores on this block in new yorks Upper East Side neighborhood. Blutrich and its not one of these tough guy, thuggy approaches. Its more like a. A friendly approach. You know, i want to save you from having a problem. You know you got to be protected. Cooper so theyre doing you a favor . Blutrich thats exactly right. So i went along, not realizing that when you let the door open and the lion comes in, he doesnt settle for what he asks for. Cooper you gave them a finger and theyd take an arm. Blutrich no, they wouldnt have been happy with an arm, maybe an upper torso. Cooper this is Stephen Sergio who, according to the fbi, was an associate of the gambino crime family. He was the first extortionist to push his way into scores. What was your job at the club . Stephen sergio i didnt do any accounting work. I didnt do any scheduling. I didnt do anything. But i was there to make sure everything went smoothly. Cooper you are an imposing guy, though. Sergio considered himself an entrepreneur. He didnt just take money from Michael Blutrich, he took a cut from almost everybody who worked at the club the dancers, the dj, the busboys, the janitor. His take added up. Sergio it was 1,000 a week, it became 20,000 a week. Cooper so how did it work . You go to the liquor salesman and say, you want to keep selling liquor to this club . Sergio very, very, very friendly. Cooper you give me a cut . Sergio yes. Cooper Stephen Sergio was such a strong presence at scores, he could hire and fire people at will. Take the case of the clubs accountant, who got in sergios way. Sergio he was trying to keep an accounting of me instead of keeping the account of the club. So sergio simply replaced him with someone he could control. Sergio a certain person applied for a busboy job, and i doctored it into making him the inhouse accountant. Cooper did he have any bookkeeping experience . Sergio absolutely none. He was. He was totally incompetent. Cooper in 1996, the fbi got a tip about the extortion and conducted a raid on scores. And thats when they made Michael Blutrich an offer he couldnt refuse. Blutrich i remember my reaction was, are you mistaking me for. For someone with courage . I mean, what are you talking about . You want me to wear a wire . Cooper but Michael Blutrich didnt have much choice. He wasnt just a clubowning lawyer being extorted by the mafia; he was also a crook, and the fbi knew it. He opened scores with money hed stolen from the National HeritageLife Insurance company in florida. Blutrich and a few partners bought the Insurance Company in 1990 by writing a bad check, and went on to bilk nearly 26,000 mostly elderly policyholders out of their life savings. Ultimately, it was a theft of 440 million, one of the biggest white collar crimes in u. S. History. Blutrich it was easy money and i can never have a greater regret than going down that road. I mean, how stupid could i be . Joe judge they got control of the Insurance Company. And they looted it. Cooper former fbi investigator joe judge and former assistant u. S. Attorney judy hunt had discovered the scam, and were building a case against blutrich and his partners in florida. Judy hunt i mean, they truly were new yorkers who believed that us people down in florida were just too dumb to figure out the convoluted schemes they had put in place. Blutrich im not making excuses. Im not defending myself. I sometimes tell people i went to the dark side. Cooper you got greedy. Blutrich i got greedy. Cooper Michael Blutrich figured if he cooperated with the fbi against the mafia in new york, florida authorities would have to give him a break on his crimes there. Blutrich the whole inducement was come on board. Become part of the Governments Team and you will be redeemed. Bill ready you basically explain to michael, you have no choice. Theres no way out. Cooper new york fbi agent bill ready, who knew all about blutrichs problems in florida had him under surveillance for months before developing him as an informant against the mob. Ready he was nervous a lot. He always needed constant reassurance. Cooper would he call you a lot . Ready yeah. Cooper all day long, hed be calling you . Ready oh, yeah, yeah. And it would start in the morning and would continue throughout the day right until my head hit the pillow at night. Cooper in 1997, ready and the fbi used hidden cameras in blutrichs offices to record meetings with all manner of suspected mobsters. The cameras captured blutrich handing over envelopes of cash and alleged mob associates bragging about crimes. Cooper they also recorded some notsosubtle threats, here to blutrichs partner by alleged gambino associate michael sergio. Michael sergio take care of yourself, all right . And dont worry about your health, youll be fine. Cooper you look at the tapes, and some of the guys youre dealing with, i mean, it. Theyre out of central casting. Blutrich youre absolutely correct. Cooper i mean. Blutrich and sometimes i would just laugh inside, you know, to say what. Well, look what my life has become. They would come in with the jewelry, and the sweat suits and theyd sit down, hey, you know, its so good to see you, you know. Whats going on, man . Cooper but the office wasnt the only thing the fbi bugged for sound. Michael blutrich wore a wire for 11 months. It was a clunky audio recorder strapped to his inner thigh. Ready back in those days our equipment was archaic compared to what. Whats out there now. What we would use is. Wed call it an fbird, which stands for, you know, f. B. I. Recording device. Cooper fbird. Ready fbird, yeah. Blutrich and they ducttaped the fbird to my leg and. Cooper this is not exactly high tech. Blutrich well, no, im. Im saying, whats go. Whats going on here . This is how they do this . They dont do it in the movies this way. You dont see james bond, i mean, duct tape wrapped around his leg. So, this is how we do it . And the other problem is, the fbird gets really hot, so as im doing the first night, which was hours and hours and hours, my leg is like a skillet. I mean, its burning. You know, im trying to be pleasant and nice and natural, and its killing me. Cooper the first night he wore the wire, he went to dinner with alleged gambino family associate michael sergio. Blutrich successfully prompted him to boast about his mob connections, describe crimes and name names. Blutrich and hes talking about all these. All these different people, and at the end of it, we go back to the office for the debriefing. And the first words out of their mouth was, that was great except we got to do it again because the recording device failed. My. My initial impressions, again . You want us to do the same thing again . Dont you think hes going to find that a little odd . No, itll be fine. Itll be fine. Cooper blutrich did go out again. And again. In total, he recorded about 1,000 hours of conversations mostly in restaurants over long dinners. Blutrich the fbi had given us a password that, if we uttered and they heard, they would come crashing through the windows to save our lives. Cooper what was the password . Blutrich the password was, i think im going to puke, to which i said, what . laughs cooper that was the password the fbi decided to give you. Blutrich that. That was their. I said, listen. Cooper so if you said, i think im going to puke. Blutrich theyre coming in. Cooper it was dangerous work. There were several times mobsters surprised him and patted him down, nearly discovering his recording equipment. Blutrich i mean, i had guns taken out, brandished in front of me, put to my head, threatened all. You know, in every which way you could be threatened. Cooper what kept you motivated . Blutrich if i did all this for the government, the reward was. Was plain. I would not see the inside of a jail cell. Cooper with Michael Blutrichs help, in 1998, the department of justice was able to indict dozens of alleged members and associates of the mafia, including john gotti, jr. , who the fbi considered the acting boss of the gambino crime family. It was a huge success, and former prosecutor art leach says much of the credit goes to Michael Blutrich. In the pantheon of informants, where was Michael Blutrich . Art leach he would be in the scale of extraordinary. Cooper no one like Michael Blutrich. Leach ten times better than the best. Cooper art leach investigated organized crime for the u. S. Attorneys office in atlanta. Blutrich was his star witness against the mafia in a related case there. Leach he is a trained lawyer, and a good lawyer. He understood what kind of evidence was necessary in order to make these cases, and he just worked his way towards it. Cooper its easy to underestimate him but. Leach exactly. Cooper but he shouldnt be underestimated. Leach and they did underestimate him, and they paid mightily for it. Cooper but blutrichs hands were not completely clean, before he began cooperating with the fbi, he also had committed crimes in new york. At the end of the investigation, federal authorities brought seven counts against him including racketeering, tax evasion, and receipt of obscene materials. Michael blutrich pleaded guilty, but did no prison time because of his cooperation. But in florida, when blutrich had to face the court in the Insurance Fraud case, it didnt go as he expected, despite efforts by federal authorities to help him. Fbi agent bill ready and former prosecutor art leach made statements to the florida judge on blutrichs behalf. And thenassistant attorney general Michael Chertoff wrote a letter praising his extremely valuable cooperation. But in the end, Michael Blutrich was sentenced to 16 years in prison, far more time than any of the mobsters he helped put away. When you heard the sentence. Blutrich i almost passed out. laughs i almost passed out. Cooper you know, you helped steal millions of dollars from an awful lot of people, from innocent people. 16 years in jail doesnt sound like a huge amount for the crime. Blutrich i couldnt disagree more. Cooper do you think you should have done any prison time . Blutrich i would have lived comfortably with zero to a year. Hunt arrogance. Arrogance. I think he thought that the cooperation against the mob was so significant and so powerful that it would essentially dispense him from any culpability or punishment in florida. Cooper former prosecutor judy hunt says blutrich could have fared as badly as his Co Conspirator sholam weiss, who was sentenced to prison for a record 845 years. But former prosecutor art leach sees it differently. You think he got a raw deal . Leach i dont think that the judge properly considered how important his cooperation was to the department of justice and how horrible his sentence was, in terms of developing cooperators like Michael Blutrich in the future. Cooper blutrich ended up serving 13 years in prison and was released two years ago. Despite betraying the mob and helping send a lot of wise guys to prison, Michael Blutrich is not in a witness protection program. Hes out on the streets, hiding in plain sight. Are you scared . Blutrich im fatalistic. If. If im going to sit and shiver, im not going to have a life. So, i forfeited my life 13 years in jail, im not going to forfeit the rest of it by. By being scared. Cooper do you believe his life is still in danger . Leach his life is absolutely in danger. He will be in danger for the rest of his life. Cooper from the mafia . Leach the mob takes retribution seriously. And it. It has a long memory and they will find an opportunity, if possible, and they will kill Michael Blutrich. Yoplait greek 100.
