Summary
Once the feared boss of the Wo Shing Wo syndicate in Manchester, “The Duck” Georgie Pai built a brutal empire of extortion and fear across UK Chinatowns, returning again and again after deportation using forged documents. His reign, rooted in Hong Kong triad tactics, forced businesses and workers to pay “lucky money” to survive — until a documentary crew tricked him into exposing his crimes, bringing his empire crashing down. He vanished from Manchester and died during the pandemic, buried in Bristol. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
