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.
