Biography[]
Season 5[]
After Feech causes problems when he refuses to bow down to him, Tony decides to get him out of the scene; however, as Feech is tremendously popular, he can't simply kill him, so he instead devises a plan to have Christopher and Benny pay him a visit and "casually" mention that they have various stolen Phillips TVs in their car trunk. Feech offers to let them momentarily park the car in his garage in exchange for $2000 and one of the televisions. A few hours later, corrupt parole supervisor Jimmy Curran knocks on Feech's door with the purpose of a routine inspection. Feech, surprised that his usual parole agent Eddie Stimich isn't there, reluctantly lets him in his house to check his belongings. Curran takes note of the brand new plasma TV in his living room, which Feech excuses as a bequest from a deceased friend, before Curran checks the rest of his home. When he asks Feech to accompany him to the garage, Feech angrily responds that he doesn't want to let him, but Curran checks it out anyway. After discovering the stolen Phillips in the trunk, Feech is sent back to prison on a parole violation and stops being a nuisance to Tony.[1]
