Miami-Dade court records confirm that Michael Lupolover, 43, was charged with assault and battery on Wednesday, Feb. 12.
Citing a report from Miami Beach PD, Local10 says Lupolover approached another man at Queen Miami Beach around 1:10 a.m. and told him that he didn't belong there. He continuously approached the man and gave him the middle finger, eventually hitting the victim on the head with a glass cup, leaving a gash over his right eye, Local10 says.
Miami Beach police had not returned Daily Voice's request for comment as of 9:30 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 13.
Lupolover's verified LinkedIn profile shows he is the founding owner of Lupo Yachts & Lupo Yacht Club in Sunny Isles, FL, which he says started as a traditional yacht charter but later became a revolutionary luxury yacht club.
He also appears to be a practicing attorney with offices based in Englewood Cliffs. His legal website says he is admitted to practice in New York, New Jersey, Washington D.C., and New York Federal Courts. A Hofstra University graduate, Lupolover is the son of first-generation Americans, who immigrated from the Soviet Union, his website says.
He began professionally as a creditors rights attorney before he "switched sides to help people and businesses resolve their financial issues," Lupolover's website says.
