Tony Mok-beau
The most beautiful man in Australian organised crime:
And that’s no exaggeration, trust us. Here’s the “straight dope”, direct from the “fuzz”, “man”.
Seems Mokbel was arrested in Athens as part of an operation named “Magnum”. Did you know that in Beijing, Magnums cost AUD$0.50? Deal with that, shadowy Melbourne underworld! Or alternatively try dealing in that: might result in shorter sentences.
By the way, in Beijing, where we are currently enjoying ice-cream at prices only dreamed about in Australia, a fella can’t use Wikipedia. So we have no idea if that link to the Magnum article works. We also have no idea why Chinese people really like to use the English word “apple” for personal names, newspapers, joint-venture enterprises, etc.

Awesome to see that Tony ‘Ringo’ Mokbel’s wig is accessible to our Chinese friends…whichever news outlet paid off/prostrated themselves before the almighty CCP censors to get that through the Great Firewall of China is truly doing us all a great service. I laughed for literally minutes and it still raises a chuckle.
Mark Knight has a great cartoon (freaky, I know) in today’s Hun that represents it nicely.
Hope you’re doing well, Vince. Take care!

The dude got onto CCTV. You made it, Tony! Except in the sense that you didn’t make it, and were nicked in Athens with a fooling-nobody wig on. Bwahahaha!
