Jimmy "Bighead" Tsui is a Chinese Mob Boss who was affiliated with the Tung On in New York City and the Sun Yee On triad in Hong Kong. In 1985, he was arrested in New York City and charged with robbery and homicide before the case was dismissed. After being shot five times in his car in 1992, he ended his involvement in mob life. His network dissolved, and, during the 2010s, he became involved with "Chinatown Gang Stories" documentary project to preserve the history of Manhattan's triads from the 1960s to 1990s.
