Mad Mickey

Mad Mickey (full name unknown) is the sole proprietor of Mad Mickey's Hardware Emporium, a haven for geeks looking for cheap components with which to augment their custom machines. In recent years, he has specialised in salvaging anything usable from cryptocurrency mining rig meltdowns. Indeed the sheer frequency of these of late has caused him to cultivate a number of contacts in the local fire service in order to be alerted to the next one that's gone critical.

Mad Mickey replaced a faulty hard drive in Tom Winscombe's laptop. However, this made him a target for the criminal gang who were after the contents of the faulty drive, now in his possession, and he is sadly now deceased. Fortunately, Tom and Ali still managed to locate the missing drive before the bad guys did.
