Michael George Thevis was a gangster dubbed by the tabloids as “The Scarface of Porn” due to his rise and fall in marketing illegal pornography, multiple murders of his business associates, and eventual placement on the “FBI Ten Most Wanted List.” Starting out selling black market pornography at a corner newsstand in Atlanta, Georgia, Thevis became affiliated with a number of small-time gangsters who helped him build up his enterprise, before finally being introduced to members of the notorious Gambino crime family. With their backing, Thevis became responsible for the distribution of 40% of America’s pornography, a venture that netted him over $100 million a year.
