Platypus Mob

The mob group that was run by Joey Platypus in the 1970s.

History

Operating out of the Sweatshop in his Down Under Club, Joey Platypus had a pretty good racket going, until in late 1976, the other mob bosses started pushing into his territory. Royal Williams noted that Tommy Gunn's Gunbirds had looted half a nights haul during one hijacking and that was the final straw for The Platypus.

Secretly allied with Pyramid, he arranged with his top lieutenant Deke McManus to have their friends in Chicago send in Jitterjack.
